Carpet is a giant air filter and a major design feature. It traps dust, dander, pollen, sand, and the occasional latte — which is great until the fibers get packed, stained, and tired. A professional clean doesn’t just make it look new; it extends carpet life, improves indoor air, and protects your warranty.
The Real Benefits (Beyond “Looks Cleaner”)
Healthier indoor air: Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) removes fine dust, dander, and allergens that vacuums don’t pull.
Longer carpet life: Sand and grit act like sandpaper. Removing them reduces fiber wear and matting.
Stain + odor removal: Pro chemistry breaks down spills, pet accidents, and high-traffic gray lanes.
Faster dry & less residue: Modern equipment leaves fibers clean, not crunchy — so they stay cleaner longer.
Warranty compliance: Many manufacturers require professional cleaning every 12–18 months with proof of service.
What We Clean (and Treat)
Traffic lanes & stairs that gray out first
Pet spots & odors (enzyme + deodorize)
Coffee, wine, grease, dye transfer
Allergen reduction for bedrooms and nurseries
Area rugs (wool/synthetic, on- or off-site depending on fiber)
Our Process (What to Expect)
Walkthrough & testing – Identify fiber type, stains, and problem areas.
Pre-vac & pre-treat – Dry soil removal plus targeted stain solutions.
Agitation – Work solutions into fibers for even results.
Hot water extraction – Rinse + extract with balanced pH so no sticky residue.
Spot treatment & grooming – Address remaining spots, set the pile, place air movers.
Protectant (optional) – Adds stain resistance and easier future cleanups.
Pro tip: Ask for pH-balanced rinse and measurements of moisture (or use of air movers) for faster dry times.
Steam vs. “Dry” Cleaning — What’s the Difference?
Hot water extraction (steam): Deepest clean, recommended by most manufacturers for wall-to-wall carpet.
Low-moisture/encapsulation: Great for maintenance in offices or quick refreshes; not ideal for heavy soiling or urine.
DIY rentals: Handy for spot emergencies, but weaker vacuum lift can leave residue and extra moisture.
How Often Should You Clean?
Homes w/ kids or pets: Every 6–12 months
Low-traffic households: Every 12–18 months
Allergy sufferers: Prioritize bedrooms every 6 months
Move-in/move-out: Always — baseline clean + documentation
Prep Tips to Save Time (and $$)
Pick up small items and toys; we’ll move light furniture as arranged.
Pre-vac if you can — or we’ll do a thorough pre-vac on arrival.
Keep pets comfy in a separate space until areas are dry.
Point out “mystery spots” so we can use the right chemistry first pass.
Aftercare = Longer-Lasting Results
Use fans/AC for 4–6 hours; limit traffic until dry.
Place walk-off mats at entries and shoe-heavy zones.
Vacuum weekly; hit edges/baseboards monthly.
Schedule protectant in high-spill areas (dining, playrooms).
Common Myths (Busted)
“Cleaning makes carpet get dirty faster.” That’s old, soapy residue. A pH-balanced rinse prevents re-soiling.
“Steam ruins the pad.” Professional extraction controls moisture and removes it immediately.
“Vacuuming is enough.” Vacuuming removes loose soil; deep-bonded grime and oils need extraction.
Ready for Fresher Rooms & Longer-Lasting Carpet?

How long does it take to dry?
Typically 4–8 hours depending on airflow, humidity, and pile thickness.
Can you remove pet urine odors?
Yes, with enzyme and sub-surface treatments; severe cases may require pad treatment or replacement.
Is protectant worth it?
In high-traffic or spill-prone areas, yes. It buys you more time to blot and prevents permanent staining.
Do you move furniture?
Light pieces by arrangement; we use tabs/blocks to protect legs and carpet while drying.
