Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our deep carpet cleaning uses hot water extraction to remove 98% of dirt and allergens. Certified technicians apply eco-friendly solutions that eliminate bacteria while preserving carpet fibers. The process includes pre-inspection, stain treatment, and post-cleaning protection application to extend carpet lifespan and maintain indoor air quality for residential and commercial spaces.
Upholstery Cleaning
Specialized cleaning for all upholstery types including silk, microfiber, and leather. Our IICRC-certified technicians use pH-balanced detergents and steam cleaning to remove embedded allergens and stains without fabric damage. The service includes fabric inspection, color-fastness testing, and protective coating application to maintain furniture appearance and durability.
Air Duct Cleaning
Professional air duct cleaning removes accumulated dust and contaminants from HVAC systems. Using truck-mounted equipment, we clean vents, coils, and ductwork to improve airflow efficiency and reduce allergens. The process follows NADCA standards and includes system inspection, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment to enhance indoor air quality.
Restoration Services
Comprehensive restoration for water, fire, and smoke damage. Our IICRC-certified team performs emergency mitigation, structural drying, and content cleaning using industrial equipment. Services include moisture mapping, odor elimination, and rebuilding to restore properties to pre-loss condition while coordinating with insurance providers.
Commercial Cleaning
Scheduled cleaning programs for offices, hotels, and retail spaces. Services include carpet maintenance, floor care, and upholstery cleaning during off-hours to minimize business disruption. We use rapid-drying methods and provide detailed reporting for facility managers to maintain professional environments.

Questions
How long does carpet drying take after cleaning?
Typically 2-24 hours depending on humidity and carpet type. We use air movers to reduce drying time and provide shoe covers for immediate use.
Do you guarantee stain removal?
We guarantee satisfaction with all cleaning services. While most stains remove completely, some permanent dyes may require professional assessment before treatment.
Are your cleaning products safe for pets and children?
Yes, we use eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions that are safe for pets and children when dry. Our hypoallergenic protectors meet WoolSafe and EPA standards.
How often should upholstery be professionally cleaned?
Every 18-24 months for regular use. High-traffic areas or homes with pets may benefit from more frequent maintenance to preserve fabric integrity.
Can you clean area rugs?
Yes, we specialize in rug cleaning for all fiber types including wool and silk. Our process includes fiber protection and fringe cleaning to maintain appearance and extend lifespan.

George was so wonderful to work with.honest, professional, and also very kind! We had damaged our hardwood floors by using a sticky "floor shine"-type product that attracted all kinds of dirt and dust and we were not able to remove it ourselves. In the matter of just a few hours, George and his team cleaned and beautifully restored the wood throughout our house. Now the floors are gleaming and look better than ever before! I highly, highly recommend this company.

I had my carpets cleaned today. This company was very thorough and spent much time focused to attention and detail. The products used are safe. No mess in the home after. Four bedrooms, hallway, living room, dining room and an area rug; all like brand new. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone. They do other work as well. Professional and polite employees.
