Our Process
Step 1
PRECONDITION
The first step in the hot-water extraction process is the preconditioning of your soiled carpet with an alkaline cleaning agent.
Step 2
GROOM
Preconditioning is followed by going over the surface with a grooming brush and allowing the cleaning agent to settle into your carpets fibers.
Step 3
RINSE
Next a hot-water extraction machine uses hot water mixed with an acetic acid solution to rinse out the preconditioner and balance the pH.
Step 4
VACUUM
Lastly, technicians use professional vacuum machines to remove the hot-water solution from your carpet. Your carpet will need more time to dry completely.
Credentials & Capabilities
Carpet Cleaning Techniques
Hot Water Extraction
This is the technical name for “steam cleaning”. We spray an alkalizing pre-conditioner into your carpet before manual or mechanical agitation. Then we cycle hot water through the carpet, simultaneously vacuuming to remove soil and moisture together.
Absorbent Compound
We apply an absorbent compound saturated with detergents to the carpet. We then work it in with brushes or counter-rotating brush machines. The absorbent compound will emulsify oils and suspend soils in the compound itself, to be removed vacuuming.
Bonnet Cleaning
A mix of water and detergent is sprayed onto the carpet. A rotary machine with a cotton-rayon bonnet is sprayed with the same solution and spin buffed over the carpet to absorb any soils that have been released from the carpet. This technique requires true expertise.
Encapsulation
A surfactant with a co-polymer is sprayed on the carpet and then worked into the carpet with a cylindrical machine or a counter-rotating brush machine. The soils are encapsulated within the solution and left to dry. Soil becomes embrittled and is removed by vacuuming.
Carpet Shampooing
A foaming surfactant is applied and agitated into the carpet with a nylon brush shampooing machine. Soils are suspended and removed by wet vacuuming, which leaves crystalline residue. Once dry, dry vacuuming removes this residue and the process is complete.

Related Services
Furniture & Upholstery Cleaning
We routinely save our clients money on getting furniture reupholstered. Sometimes all your textiles need is some cleaning and a little protection. We handle all of that: upholstered furniture, leather furniture, window treatments, mattresses, and more!
Stone, Tile, & Grout Cleaning
Removing the dirt and grime from your tile or stone floor can make your bathroom or kitchen feel like a completely different room. Tile, stone, and especially grout accumulate soil slowly overtime. However, we can remove years of residue in a matter of minutes or hours.
Air Duct Cleaning
This service may actually be the most beneficial one we offer. However, it doesn’t have to do with what you see. It has to do with what you breathe. If we had our way, we would pitch this service to all of our clients because poor indoor air quality is a huge health risk.
Fire & Water Damage Restoration
While not every carpet can be saved, many of them can be. Call us for your fire or water damage needs and we will give you realistic expectations of what can be done for your floors. Just be sure you don’t give up before you have talked to real restoration experts.
Pet Damage Remediation
A large portion of all carpet cleaning jobs are a result of accidents by our furry friends. We love them—not the yellow spots and festering odor of the messes they might make. We can handle both pet stain and pet odor removal, leaving your carpets and air fresh and clean.
