Services > Carpet Cleaning
New carpet represents a substantial investment, like your other fine furnishings, requires proper care to keep it attractive over the years to come. Carpet rarely wears out in terms of fiber wearing away, but its appearance deteriorates over time and becomes less attractive. You can protect your investment, prolong the life of your carpet, and improve the quality and beauty of the indoor environment by regularly cleaning them. "Soiling" is a build-up of soil particles and oily materials that cling to the rug and carpet fibers and dull their beauty. In time, foot traffic drives the soil particles deep into the carpet. When this condition cannot be corrected with vacuuming, it's time for Carpet Cleaning by a trained professional. The choice of the proper cleaning system is extremely important. Some systems leave residues which promote re-soiling and defeat the whole purpose of cleaning. A very important factor in good carpet care is to clean up stains as quickly as possible. The longer a stain sits there, the harder it is to remove. We always choose the best chemicals, shampoos and proper cleaning method for the cleaning job. Our aim is to assist you in maintaining your carpets in as good a condition as new. In addition to your routine weekly care, you should have your carpets professionally cleaned at every 12 to 18 months. Daily vacuuming with strong suction, tight filter, rotating brush machines removes up to half or more of the soil that falls onto carpets. We are also stain removal experts. Stains and spillages should first be blotted, not rubbed, and only cool water should be used. We can do the Allergy Treatment on you carpet, upholstery, rugs.

PLEASE NOTE: NO CARPET IS ABSOLUTELY STAINING PROOF. SOME CARPETS HAVE STAIN RESISTANT TREATMENTS TO IMPROVE YOUR ABILITY TO CLEAN UP STAINS, NOT PREVENT STAINS. CARPETS WITH SOIL RESISTANT TREATMENTS REDUCE THE RATE OF SOILING, BUT ALL CARPETS REQUIRE REGULAR CARE AND MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: Certain products found in most homes can cause irreparable damage to your carpet. Bleaches, tile cleaners, mildew removers, oven cleaners, and drain openers are very strong chemicals that can discolor or dissolve carpet fibers. Acne medications containing benzyl peroxide, very powerful bleach, are capable of permanently damaging your carpet and most other fabrics as well.
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.
