Our Cleaning Steps

I will cheerfully greet you on arrival at your home.

Step 2: Pre-Inspection

I will inspect your carpet and the areas that you are concerned with. I will also advise you if there are any "spots" that may actually be permanent stains.

Step 3: Furniture Moving

My cleaning price includes moving the small items of furniture, such as dining room chairs, a coffee table, etc. in the main living area. Heavier pieces such as beds, dressers, etc. are left in place. For liability reasons, we do not move china hutches, entertainment systems, any electronics, pianos, or other valuable belongings.

Step 4: Tabs - Blocks

I will place disposable blocks or tabs as needed under furniture for protection. These are to remain in place for 24 to 48 hours or until carpet is dry. They then can be removed and disposed of. (Please, don't remove them too soon, as permanent furniture staining can occur).

Step 5: Pre-Vacuum

After moving the furniture, I vacuum each room prior to cleaning to remove any dry soil. (Some carpet cleaners omit this step to save time.)

Step 6: Pre-Condition - Pre-Spot Treatment

When the vacuuming is done I then pre-spray your carpet with a bio-degradable cleaner to loosen all other soil. Extra care will be taken with any spots or traffic areas that concern you.

Step 7: Extract & Flush

I then extract and flush the cleaner into the tank in my truck keeping the pressure and heat regulated so that the carpet is not over wet. This step also improves your air quality by removing the pollens, pollutants, and dust mites, etc. from the carpet.

Step 8: Post Spot

After flushing the dirt from the carpet I will re-check your carpet for any spots that have not been removed. I will re-work these spots to remove them. (This excludes any stains found in the pre-inspection).

Step 9: Carpet Protection (this is optional but recommended)

Protectants help you in two very important ways:

1. When a protective coating is applied to the carpet fibers, it puts a protective barrier around each fiber. This protective barrier resists moisture. When you do have a spill, it gives you a window of time to get it cleaned up.

2. Protectants help in the area of wear. Having this protectant on your carpet helps reduce the wear and abrasion caused by dirt and sand in the carpet. This protects the carpet from excessive matting, and in turn will cause your carpet to perform better.

Step 10: Post Grooming

I groom the carpet in each room that I have cleaned. This sets up the carpet pile for faster drying and a better visual appeal.

Step 11: Post Inspection

When I have finished I will ask you to look over your carpet. Let me know if you are pleased, or if there is any area you would like me to go back over.

Step 12: Signing your invoice

I will then have you sign our invoice for your records. This is very important because major carpet manufacturers such as Dupont and Shaw Industries recommend that you have your carpets cleaned every 6-12 months (depending on the volumn of traffic), and with most of today's carpet, in order to satisfy the warranty requirements, you must save your receipts from your cleanings.
