What's Going to Happen?

The technician will arrive at your home at the appointed time. He will treat you with the utmost courtesy, while explaining the entire carpet cleaning process to you. He will also answer any questions you may have regarding how he will clean your carpet or the chemicals he will use.

Only the technician and his cleaning tools will enter your home. All other equipment remains outside in the truck. No harsh or abrasive chemicals will be used. Our deep-cleaning system dries fast, leaving the carpet soft and the color brighter.

You will receive a 100% money-back guarantee of the work done. Your guarantee is backed by a company with over ten years of reputable service and dedication to complete customer satisfaction.

The area to be cleaned will first be thoroughly vacuumed to remove surface dirt and loose soil from within the carpet fibers.

Your entire carpet will be pre-sprayed to emulsify soil, holding it in suspension until it can be extracted during the next step in the cleaning process. Specific attention is paid to problem areas with any number of our uniquely formulated prespotters.

Special equipment cleans deep without wetting the backing of your carpet. Dirt, soil, soapy residue and powders left by previous cleaners are extracted and discharged through our hose into the truck outside, lessening the future soiling risk.

Estimates are quoted by our helpful telephone operators, but charges are based only on the total square footage of carpet cleaned. Areas to be cleaned are carefully measured so that you are never overcharged.

Your furniture will be carefully moved and replaced upon completion of the cleaning process. Protective tabs will be placed under your furniture to protect your carpet.

After cleaning, your carpet will be groomed in order to enhance its appearance and to speed the drying time.

Protective blocks will also be placed under furniture to protect your carpet. Treatment such as carpet protector, odor control and static electricity control are also available. Charges will be based only upon the actual area to be covered.

Protect your investment!

Even though vacuuming can remove most of the dry soil, it is also necessary to clean your carpet on a regular basis to remove the oily, sticky soil that builds up in the pile as a result of cooking vapors, air pollution, and tracked-in dirt from outside. The particles of oily soil deposited on carpet fibers can cause gradual but significant dulling of delicate pastel colors; the color isn't lost but is hidden under the film. If this type of soil is allowed to accumulate, it begins to attract and hold the dry soil. This is the reason cleaning is so important when dulling of the color is first noticed; if allowed to remain too long, it becomes gummy and difficult to remove.

If carpet is cleaned before it becomes too unsightly, the cleaning chore will be easier and more successful. It is a myth that cleaning the carpet before it is absolutely necessary will cause it to get dirty faster. Carpet in a typical household should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months depending upon the number of residents and amount and type of activity.

Choice of the proper cleaning system is important. Some systems may leave residues which promote re-soiling and defeat the whole purpose of cleaning. The recommendations below represent the best current knowledge and should help prolong the time between cleanings.

Preventative Measures

Use Walk-off Mats
Walk-off mats should be used at all entrances to absorb soil and moisture, and mats should be cleaned on a regular basis so they don't become sources of soil themselves, especially during inclement weather. Sidewalks and entrances should be kept free of excessive dirt and substances which can be tracked into the home.

Use a Quality Pad
Use a quality pad under your carpet, particularly on stairs. Good pad not only gives better resilience underfoot, but it can also add to the life of your carpet. Some carpets carry warranties with specific density and thickness requirements. Before purchasing your carpet pad, review your warranty.

Occasionally Move Heavy Furniture
Occasionally move heavy furniture to avoid excessive pile crushing. Put coasters intended for use with carpet under the legs of tables, chairs, and other furniture to help distribute the weight and prevent crushing the pile. Do not use chairs or appliances with rollers or casters on carpet without a chair pad designed for carpet. Continued use without a chair pad can cause damage to the carpet.

When moving heavy wheeled furniture (pianos, buffets, etc.), prevent damage by placing a protective barrier of heavy cardboard or plywood between the wheels and the carpet.

Use Area Rugs
If you use area rugs over your carpet, be sure to remove and clean them regularly. Clean and restore the pile of the carpet underneath. Be certain to check area rugs for colorfastness before putting them back over carpet, as the dyes in some rugs may bleed through to the carpet. After cleaning your carpet, remember to allow complete drying before replacing rugs.

Avoid Direct Sunlight
Protect your carpet from prolonged periods of direct sunlight with blinds, shades, or awnings.
