Truck-mount hot-water extraction that lifts deep soil, allergens, and traffic lanes.
Carpet acts like a giant air filter — it traps dust, dander, pollen, and oils that vacuuming alone can't remove. Hot-water extraction (often called 'steam cleaning') is the method recommended by every major carpet manufacturer, including Shaw and Mohawk, to preserve fiber warranties.
A truck-mounted unit heats water to roughly 210–230°F and injects it into the carpet under pressure along with a pH-balanced pre-conditioner. In the same pass, a powerful vacuum pulls the water — along with the suspended soil, allergens, and detergent — back out through the wand. Because the equipment stays outside in the van, we get far more heat and suction than any portable machine.
The gray paths you see in hallways are usually not stains — they're abraded fibers. Grit acts like sandpaper under every footstep, scratching the fiber's shine so it reflects less light. Cleaning every 6–12 months removes that abrasive soil before it permanently dulls the pile.
Properly extracted carpet dries in 4–6 hours. Anything longer risks wicking (old stains rising back to the surface) and microbial growth in the pad. We use high-CFM air movers and control humidity so the carpet is dry to the touch before we leave.
Every 12 months for average households, every 6 months with pets, kids, or allergies. The IICRC and most manufacturer warranties require professional cleaning at least once a year.
Yes. Our pre-spray and rinse are non-toxic, biodegradable, and free of optical brighteners. The carpet is safe to walk on as soon as it's dry.
