Services
Rug Cleaning
Our specialized rug cleaning process includes dust removal, hand shampooing with rainwater, and centrifuge drying. We handle delicate fibers like wool and silk while preserving fringe integrity. The 7-step system ensures thorough cleaning without damaging materials, with optional Scotchgard protection to extend cleanliness.
Upholstery Cleaning
We clean upholstery using hot water extraction or dry-cleaning methods based on fabric type. Technicians inspect for weak spots before treatment, removing pet hair and stains while applying protective coatings. Services include both in-plant and on-site options for residential furniture.
Tile & Grout Cleaning
High-pressure hot water extraction removes deep grime from tile and grout. Our process includes grout sealing to prevent future staining and uses pet-safe solutions. Technicians move furniture for complete coverage and employ specialized brushes for textured surfaces.
Custom Padding
We provide custom-cut padding to prevent rug slippage and extend lifespan. Pads are tailored to rug dimensions and floor type, reducing wear from foot traffic while maintaining proper ventilation to prevent moisture damage.
Wall-to-Wall Carpet
Our truck-mounted systems deep-clean wall-to-wall carpets using mild detergents and spot treatments. The process includes pre-inspection, shampooing, and Scotchgard application to protect against spills while maintaining fiber integrity and color vibrancy.
