Carpet Cleaning
Carpet maintenance requires a combination of regular
vacuuming and periodic carpet cleaning. Dust and other
allergenic particles enter your home from outside and fall
into your carpets every day, shifting down to the mesh
below.
Regular vacuuming will reduce the dust level in your
carpet, but it can't remove all of the dust and debris.
Virtually every carpet manufacturer recommends
professionally cleaning their carpets every 12/24 months
and some are now making this periodic cleaning a
compulsory condition of their wear warranties.

cleaning methods and uses only the safest, most

extraction. Our technicians will discuss with you the
method best suited to clean your carpet.

rug cleaning for your area
rugs and valuable antique rugs, with free pickup and

Absorbent Dry Compound Cleaning
An absorbent dry compound including a detergent is applied
to the carpet and technicians use machines to spread the
compound evenly through the carpet's pile. The absorbent
dry compound incorporates the soil particles into itself
for immediate removal with a vacuum - no waiting for the
carpet to dry first!
Shampoo Cleaning
Openings in a rotary brush release the shampoo detergent
directly onto the surface of the carpet. The brush foams
the shampoo into the carpet pile, where the dirt and dust
incorporate themselves into the foam, leaving the carpet's
fibers clean. Additional chemicals may be added to the
cleaning solution for odor reduction, stain protection,
color brightening or to aid in faster drying. Once the
carpet is dry, the soil and shampoo residue is easily
vacuumed away.
Foam Cleaning
Foam is similar to shampoo, though using less water. Foam
is applied to the surface of the carpet and worked in with
sponges. Once the carpet is dry, the soil and foam residue
is easily vacuumed away. This cleaning method is less
effective than the wetter methods, such as shampoo and hot
water extraction.
Bonnet Cleaning (Commercial Buildings)
Bonnet cleaning is similar to shampoo, though using an
absorbent pad called a bonnet attached to the bottom of a
rotary machine instead of a rotary brush. Detergent
solution is sprayed onto the carpet and the rotary pad is
used to agitate and remove the soil suspended in the
solution from the carpet. The bonnet effectively cleans
the top third of the carpet pile, so this method is used
in regular cleaning of commercial buildings in between
more thorough cleanings.
Hot Water Extraction - also known as Steam Cleaning
Hot water mixed with diluted detergent solution is sprayed
at high pressure into the carpeting to remove dust and
dirt, though the cleaning equipment may additionally
employ rotary brushes or other devices to better loosen
the particles embedded in the carpet's fibers. The dirt is
suction extracted along with the cleaning solution,
leaving behind clean carpet. Hot water extraction
equipment may be portable or truck-mounted, depending on
your needs and the accessibility of the cleaning location.
Hot Water Extraction and Shampoo - Combination
This two-step process is effective for heavily-soiled
carpets. The process consists of:
-
Initial shampoo with rotary brush to loosen the dirt
-
Subsequent hot water extraction without detergent to
remove the shampoo.
