Carpet cleaning is the removal of dried soil, stains, and bacteria from your carpet's fibers. This differs from regular vacuuming because vacuuming targets the surface layer of your carpet, while carpet cleaning aims for the deeper carpet fibers where various bacteria attach themselves. For residential spaces we typically work with our portable steam cleaning machine and save the truck mounted machine for more commercial cleaning cases.

The age of the carpet and the type of carpet fibers also plays a factor in this. The technician will try to determine if this is the case prior to cleaning but they are not always able to determine this before trying to remove the spots.

We use the hot water extraction method. This method is preferable to typical DIY methods because the hot water extraction machine sprays hot water while sucking it out simultaneously, removing any soil and leaving no residue behind. DIY methods do not take into account the risks of detergent residue and remaining water on a carpet and offer no reasonable way to remove them should they occur.

If you or any of your loved ones that live in your household have allergies or asthma, cleaning upholstery more often may help alleviate some of their symptoms.
Homes that are carpeted, or have a lot of upholstered furniture trap allergens, dust, and other airborne particles. Regular cleanings ensure the carpet and upholstery are free of dust and debris. Regular cleanings will also allow your carpet and furniture to last longer, feel great to the touch, and smell great.
