A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF OUR CLEANING

PROCESSES AND PROCEDURES

MECHANICAL PILE LIFTING

90% of the soil on the carpet is dry soil and can be removed using a mechanical pile lifter. This procedure removes the grit and soil that abrades carpet fibers and prematurely destroys your carpet. In addition, pile lifting just prior to steam extraction opens the pile and stands the yarn up so that the extraction can remove the maximum amount of dirt.

STEAM EXTRACTION

For both deep cleaning and superior results on heavily soiled or neglected carpets, we use Steam Extraction (sometimes called “Corrective Cleaning”). Our process gently but thoroughly cleans the carpet fiber while doing no damage to the carpet backing or underlayment. Because the carpets we clean this way dry fast with very little residue from our cleaning agent, they stay fresh and clean longer.

BONNET CLEANING

Bonnet Cleaning using a non-residual agent is an extremely effective way to maintain a high level of appearance in a carpet that is regularly maintained. Bonnet cleaning resembles rotary shampooing in that a rotary machine with some modification is used. However, with bonnet cleaning, a highly absorbent double faced bonnet is used together with a non-residual cleaning agent. The cleaning agent emulsifies the oily soils and lifts them on to the bonnet, leaving the carpet almost completely dry and ready for immediate use.

ROTARY SHAMPOOING

When a carpet is cleaned with a rotary shampooing method, the basic actions take place: mechanical and chemical. The rapidly revolving brush agitates the soil loose from the fiber, and the detergent emulsified and crystallizes the soil, this preparing it for easy removal. Some soil is removed immediately after shampooing, the balance takes place with subsequent vacuuming or steam extraction.
