Carpet Cleaning
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction process uses carbonation to lift dirt from carpet fibers, requiring 80% less water than steam cleaning. This method extends carpet life, reduces allergens, and ensures rapid drying. Safe for all carpet types, it removes embedded pollutants without harsh chemicals.
Pet Urine Odor Removal
P.U.R.T. (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) attacks urine crystals at the source, destroying odors permanently. Unlike masking agents, this enzymatic solution breaks down biological matter deep in fibers. Lab-tested to eliminate 99% of pet-related smells without damaging carpets.
Upholstery Cleaning
Low-moisture carbonation cleanses upholstery fibers to remove stains and allergens. The Natural solution preserves fabric integrity while extracting embedded debris. Ideal for sofas, chairs, and delicate textiles, leaving no sticky residues or prolonged drying times.
Specialty Stain Removal
Targeted treatments tackle permanent marker, lipstick, and oil-based stains. Our arsenal includes solvent-based removers and protective coatings. A co-applied protectant enhances future stain resistance, maintaining fabric appearance in high-traffic areas.
Area Rug Cleaning
Customized cleaning for oriental, wool, and synthetic rugs. Gentle yet effective carbonation removes dirt without warping fibers. Technicians address both surface stains and deep-set pollutants, restoring vibrancy and texture to heirloom and modern rugs alike.
