Questions
What makes your cleaning method superior?
Our rotary shampooing followed by multiple hot water extractions removes deeper residues than single-pass systems, preventing rapid re-soiling while protecting fabric integrity.
How do you handle pet odor issues?
We use enzymatic treatments that break down urine crystals at the source rather than masking odors, combined with specialized extraction equipment for complete contaminant removal.
Do you move furniture during cleaning?
Yes, we carefully move furniture and use protective tabs and blocks when replacing items to prevent floor damage during the cleaning process.
Can you clean area rugs on-site?
Our technicians clean oriental and specialty rugs in-place using gentle hand-cleaning techniques that preserve delicate fibers and dyes without requiring removal.
Is fabric protection application necessary?
While many new carpets have factory treatments, we recommend reapplication every 1-2 cleanings to maintain optimal stain resistance, especially in high-traffic areas.
How long does drying take after service?
Using powerful truck-mounted equipment, we leave carpets slightly damp with typical drying times of 4-6 hours depending on humidity and airflow conditions.
