General information:
Carpets are like "sinks" since everything that falls on the floor, is spilled or brought in with foot traffic remains in the carpet. Insecticides, bacteria, molds, dust mites, animal liquid and solid waste are only a few of the items that can be found residing in your carpet. You can and should maintain your carpet by frequent vacuuming. This slows down the staining and soiling process. However, it is virtually impossible to keep you carpet environmentally clean and safe indefinitely and this is why you should have it professionally cleaned from time to time. During our cleaning process the amount of soil extracted from your carpet is far greater than during vacuuming.
Carpet cleaning requires professional service. It takes more than just the right agents and good machinery for the job. A team of skilled and knowledgeable technicians is the key to doing the job right. Everything else is secondary. Our methods and procedures are safe for your carpet and for your living environment. We will be happy to give you a detailed estimate if you request one. You can get an online estimate by clicking on the "Get an Estimate" link on the left side bar. In your message be as specific as possible. Some estimates require visual inspection. Make sure you mention things such as area, type of material, and type of service you prefer. Don't forget to mention any specific stains if they are present.
We clean more than just carpets and we can use a variety of techniques that suit your needs and your budget. We clean upholstery, draperies, and rugs as well as any carpeting you may have in your car or boat. Our technicians have plenty of experience in cleaning and restoring all types of carpets from stains and dirt. We get rid of odors, stains, spots and static. We have solutions for all carpet problems including restoration, restretching and new installation. In the upholstery department we also maintain leather furniture with special manual treatments.
While some processes include wet cleaning others are dry methods. With dry methods you will be able to use the area or furniture the same day. Most services are done on client premises but sometimes we take area rugs to be cleaned at our location. The price we quote you remains the same and includes taking away and bringing back if necessary. There are no hidden costs to you.
Water Extraction Cleaning:
This method is very common and is also known as steam cleaning. It is the most widely recommended method by carpet manufacturers. This method really deep cleans your carpet.
As a fine steamy spray of water and detergent is used on the carpet, the vacuum following the spray immediately sucks it up. The vacuum removes the water and soil back to a tank in the machine. Since the vacuum is very powerful it removes over 90% of the water. There is usually a one-day drying period. This timeframe depends on humidity as well as the temperature and airflow in the room. Some extremely soiled carpets may require two or more passes of the machine especially in high traffic areas.
Dry Extraction Cleaning:
In this method of cleaning we barely use any water. A dry absorbent compound containing a small amount of water, detergent and solvent is sprinkled onto the carpet. We work the compound into the fibers with a machine. After the compound has some time to absorb the soil from the carpet it needs to be thoroughly vacuumed. This method is often used as a maintenance procedure. It is often chosen since there is no drying required.
Foam Cleaning:
Also known as shampooing, our foam cleaning technique is 100% environmentally and ecologically safe. This technique was developed with concern for indoor air quality standards. Foam cleaning offers safe and thorough cleaning of your carpets, rugs and furniture as well as draperies. Almost all of these are done at client location.
Foam cleaning is convenient since it does not require a lot of water and is fast drying. Usually you can start using the cleaned area on the same day if the service is performed in the morning. The foam absorption process is not only very effective, it is also safe for all carpeting including the "stain resistant" fiber carpeting.
Area and Oriental Rugs:
Rug cleaning may take place on the client premises or at our location. If we have to remove the rug it takes several days before we are able to return it. You will be informed how many days it will take before the rug is taken away. At that time we will schedule the time for returning the rug. Rugs are usually steam cleaned and, therefore, require time to dry.
Drapery Cleaning:
We clean your draperies right in your home. There is no taking down and re-hanging to worry about. This saves you and us a lot of time. In addition, you don't have to spend a few days with bare windows. Your convenience is our concern as much as the cleaning itself. Our process is safe and effective. When properly cleaned, shrinkage of draperies can be eliminated. With us you don't have to worry about damage, but just in case you are wandering we are insured.
Auto and Boat Carpet Cleaning:
We can clean many different carpet installations like car, boat, or RV interiors. We also have experience in cleaning carpeted walls and office partitions. If there is a carpet, we can clean it regardless of where it is installed. We are willing to take a trip to the marina to get your yacht carpeting back to what it should be. Or, we'll be happy to take care of your car's interior right in your garage. Give us a call and see how simple it is to order service.
Scotchguard Protection:
After cleaning your carpet we can apply this protection for an additional charge. It will make sure that your carpet stays clean for a longer period of time.
Upholstery Cleaning:
Since you probably invested a lot of money into your upholstered furniture you want to keep it in the best shape possible. We agree, and we make sure that our treatment restores and maintains the look and quality of your furniture. We offer the finest care and expert service for your furniture.
As one of your choices you can use foam cleaning for your furniture. It is safe and fast drying. The fabric does not become saturated with moisture so the furniture can be used the same day.
Restretching and Installation:
We've installed new wall-to-wall carpets in many homes. We have much experience in installing both synthetic and genuine wool carpets for home and for commercial use. Our expert technicians will make sure that you get the right padding and that your carpet is well stretched. It will be cut and made to fit the exact shape of your rooms including every corner.
In addition to laying new carpets we also restretch carpets already installed. Sometimes people's carpets get bumps in different places. Other times a carpet may shrink. Those instances are usually a result of a bad installation or a bad wet cleaning technique. We are usually able to fix these problems. However, we may have to visually inspect the condition of your carpet prior to any work.
