Our Process
Once we identify the type of material fibers, we select the proper shampoo and rinse. Then we begin the following cleaning sequence for proven results every time:
Step 1 - Vacuum - A commercial-grade vacuum cleaner removes dry soil.
Step 2 - Furniture Protection
- Furniture is moved and placed on plastic tabs or Styrofoam blocks to prevent furniture stains.
Step 3 - Precondition
- The shampoo is applied to emulsify soils and spots.
Step 4 - Pregrooming
- A carpet rake or rotary machine is used to further loosen stains and soil.
Step 5 - Hot Water Extraction
- The carpet is cleaned with 180 degree water to sanitize and deodorize. Pressure is adjusted to ensure the carpet is not over wetted or damage.
Step 6 - Neutralizer
- Carpet is returned to a neutral pH balance so no residue is left.
Step 7 - Drying & Grooming
- Carpet is groomed with a carpet rake to set pile direction and fans are applied to speed up drying time. Carpets should be dry within 2 to 4 hours depending on the level of humidity. A carpet should never take longer than 24 hours to dry due to the risk of mold and mildew.
