Your carpets have needed a good scrubbing for a long time. Finally, you booked a professional carpet cleaning company to come over and clean your carpets. While the primary reason you hired an expert is because of convenience, you also want them to be efficient and thorough when cleaning your carpets.
To help you, here's a list of what to do before and after cleaning, as well as what to expect during the
carpet cleaning process.
Tidy the floor.
Make sure to keep your floor free from any objects that may interrupt the cleaning process. Take time to tidy up any toys, pins, books, or crafts you may have lying around. You don’t want any of these things to get sucked up by the powerful truck-mounted equipment.
Vacuum.
Vacuuming removes small debris and loosens deep-seated dirt from your carpet. Doing this will ensure that the
carpet cleaner can efficiently clean your floor coverings.
Take drapes and dust skirts off the floor.
To protect your draperies and dust skirts from moisture, make sure they are at least six inches above the floor. Pin them up or tie a rubber band around them, so they don’t get in the way of the cleaning equipment.
Move small furniture. Relocate easy-to-move items like small tables, chairs, and cabinets to an area that does not require cleaning. While your carpet cleaners can move these items for you, it's better if you move them first, so they can focus on cleaning your space.
Remove delicate items from the cleaning area.
Keep your precious things and other fragile home decor in a safe place. You certainly don’t want them knocked over as the carpet cleaners get the job done.
Keep your pets outdoors or move them to a room.
Since cleaning machines make noises that might irritate your pet, it’s highly recommended that you keep them away until the carpets are fully cleaned.
Make a list of your carpet problems. Carpet cleaners are committed to providing you with the most efficient and effective
carpet cleaning service. Hence, it is crucial to specify what type of stain problems you have and how long the stains have existed.
Provide a parking space for the
truck-mounted equipment.
Whenever possible, you should provide access to a parking area near your door, so your cleaning professionals can easily use their truck-mounted equipment.
Before calling in for a professional carpet cleaning, know if
your area is serviceable.
Inspection. During this stage, the
professional carpet cleaner will look around your home and determine the spots where you need special attention.
Preconditioning agents are sprayed.
For more thorough cleaning, a preconditioning agent is applied to your carpet. When filtration soil or severely soiled areas are involved, the carpet cleaners will pay special attention to that part as well.
Soil extraction and rinse.
After the preconditioning, your cleaning experts will use high-temperature water and powerful suction machines to extract the dirt.
Apply spot treatment.
The experts will ensure that all stains are removed from your carpet. If, however, there are still stains after cleaning, a post spot treatment is applied.
Grooming. This process is done using equipment that will make your carpet pile softer and fluffier.
Speed dry. A high-efficiency carpet drying machine is used to accelerate the drying process.
Post cleaning Inspection. At this stage, the professional carpet cleaner will inspect the carpets and make sure you're satisfied with the results.
Keep the airflow continuous.
Though carpet cleaners will extract most of the liquid, your carpet is likely to be damp when they leave. In this case, it is recommended that you keep air flowing in your home. If you do this, you will help any moisture remaining in the fibers to evaporate faster.
Don’t step on wet carpets.
Avoid stepping or walking on your carpet until it is completely dry. If you step on it while it is still damp, you risk leaving new stains on your carpet.
Avoid putting furniture on wet carpets.
Carpet professionals recommend that you leave any wood furniture off the carpet for 24 hours. Putting your furniture back while the carpet is still wet may affect the fluffiness of the carpet fibers. Doing this can also result in mold formation under the carpet that could negatively impact your health.
Vacuum after cleaning.
Vacuuming your carpet after it has completely dried will remove any remaining dirt. This also lifts the carpet fibers, which helps keep them fluffy.
Put mats on entryways to add a level of protection. Once your carpets are cleaned, you want to keep them that way as long as possible. One way to do this is by having mats on your entryways. Mats prevent dust and dirt from entering your home.
Cleaning your carpet takes a lot of work. That’s why you can rely on professionals to clean your carpet with ease. If you haven’t booked a service yet, get in touch with your nearest

Hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, is the recommended approach for most carpets. We use water that is heated to 230 degrees and a powerful, German engineered, vacuum to deeply clean and extract all of the dirt, impurities and pet urine that can accumulate in your carpet and the pad.
Our company has a business insurance policy so that you can be sure we are adequately covered.
Our professional cleaning unit is truck-mounted and the vacuum is quite powerful. This allows us to remove almost all of the water that is used to clean your carpets and area rugs. We also implement the use of downdraft fans to speed up the drying time. As a result, the average drying time is about 6-8 hours. Your carpets or rugs will feel dry to the touch at that time, but you should wait to move any wood furniture to the area for 24 hours. This level of expertise and service is just one more reason to trust us for your home cleaning needs.
The cost of your professional carpet cleaning services is based on the square footage of the carpet or area rug. You will also only be charged for the open areas that we clean, not the full square footage of the room. We only charge for the areas we clean. Carpet cleaners should be fair and we are dedicated to excellent services at a fair price.
We all love our pets, but we should be aware that they can sometimes have accidents. When their urine mixes with moisture, it creates an alkaline salt that gives off an unpleasant odor. Moreover, the area where the urine is spilled can become a fertile breeding ground for bacteria. There are various methods available for addressing this issue. First Option: If the carpet is severely dirty, it will be necessary to remove it and clean both sides. Additionally, the padding will have to be swapped out, and the will need to be treated with a Bio-modifier and sealed. Second Option: For cases that are moderately severe, we can use our decontamination products extensively on the affected area, and clean the area further using a subsurface cleaning tool. Third Option: For slight contamination, we will use the Urine decontamination product on the surface. After application, we will allow it to rest and then extract it. An enzyme post-treatment will be applied to all options.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee pet stain removal due to the numerous factors that play a role in both the formation and removal of such stains. Urine stains from pets can have different characteristics depending on factors such as the age of the pet, any medications they may be taking, and the dyes in their food that were not fully metabolized. Another factor to consider is whether the urine was from the morning or the afternoon. Additional variables that may affect the outcome include the duration of the stain and any previous treatment it may have received prior to our arrival. We possess extensive expertise and certification from the IICRC, which means we will exercise utmost caution and deliver optimal results for you.
To ensure smooth cleaning, kindly clear furniture of any lamps, knickknacks, electronics, and plants. We can help move light furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, and nightstands. However, we cannot move large furniture such as beds, china cabinets, pianos, dressers with mirrors, and other immovable items. If you want those areas cleaned, please move the items before we arrive.
Most people opt for professional carpet cleaning once a year, although the carpet cleaning industry recommends doing it every 18 months. Insoluble soil can damage carpet fibers by scratching and causing marring.As, we produce a biofilm consisting of shed skin and oils that can transfer onto surfaces in our homes. Over time, this biofilm can begin to emit unpleasant odors. To maintain good indoor air quality, reduce allergens, and keep your home clean for pets and children, it's recommended to have your carpet cleaned at least once a year.
As professional carpet cleaners, we have the steam cleaning equipment that is perfect for grout cleaning. The steam cleaning capability of truck mounted carpet cleaners are perfect for safely removing stains from the grout in your kitchen, bathroom and shower areas.
Many customers try to clean their rugs with rented carpet cleaning equipment. The advantage of a professional carpet cleaner for your oriental rugs, area rugs and large bounded carpets is that those types of carpet cleaners are not strong enough to extract all of the oils, dirt and stains from your rugs. It is important to periodically have a professional carpet cleaner take care of your area rug cleaning.
Sofa and upholstery cleaning services are a perfect addition when you have carpet cleaners already in your home. You don't need your couch cleaned as frequently as your carpets, but periodic upholstery cleaning service is going to remove the stains, odors and dirt that build up over time.
Many home owners are tempted to save money from a carpet cleaning service by renting a machine at the grocery store.
