Carpet Cleaning
Our steam carpet cleaning uses truck-mounted hot water extraction to remove deep-seated dirt and stains. IICRC-certified technicians apply biodegradable solutions that meet manufacturer warranty requirements. The process includes furniture moving, spot treatment, and Scotchgard protection application. Carpets dry faster with industrial air movers while maintaining fiber integrity and color vibrancy.
Area Rug Washing
Specialized cleaning for Oriental, Persian, and antique rugs using pH-balanced detergents. Off-site facility handles delicate fibers with gentle agitation techniques. Services include fringe cleaning, moth damage repair, and custom padding installation. Protective treatments extend rug lifespan while preserving weave integrity and natural textures through controlled drying environments.
Upholstery Cleaning
Hot water extraction and dry foam methods clean sofas, chairs, and automotive interiors without fabric damage. Technicians perform pre-cleaning fiber tests to determine optimal solutions. Services include stain guard application, odor neutralization with bio-enzymatic cleaners, and moisture extraction to prevent subfloor damage in residential and commercial settings.
3M Scotchgard Protection
Post-cleaning application of fluoropolymer protectors creates invisible barriers against liquid spills and soil accumulation. The treatment bonds to fibers to prevent permanent staining while maintaining texture. Ideal for high-traffic areas, this service extends time between cleanings and simplifies daily maintenance routines for residential and business environments.
Pet Stain Removal
Multi-step process using blacklight detection, moisture sensors, and bio-enzymatic digesters eliminates urine crystals. Truck-mounted extraction removes contaminants from padding while disinfecting subfloors. Services include carpet replacement recommendations for severe cases and air purification to eliminate lingering odors in homes with multiple pets.
