Carpet Cleaning Denver

External Extraction
Our method is often called “Warm Water Extraction”, “Hot Water Extraction” or “Steam Cleaning” and is the cleaning method nearly all carpet manufacturers and carpet fiber producers recommend.

This is the only cleaning method classified as “deep cleaning”. All the others are considered “light surface cleaning” because they are incapable of removing soil deep in the pile. Also, all other methods leave large amounts of cleaning agent in the carpet after cleaning.

The maintenance brochure published by the world’s largest carpet manufacturer, Shaw Industries, recommends this method, because its own research indicates that it provides the best capability for cleaning.

STEP 1: Pre-Inspection

A proper pre-inspection allows us  to make accurate judgements on what type of carpet you have, and note particular details such as type and level of soiling, causes of specific stains       etc. we will also advise you of any stains that may be impossible to remove.

STEP 2: Furniture Moving

Lounges, chairs, tables will be shifted carefully from side to side to ensure cleaning is performed underneath the furniture. Large or heavy items such as wardrobes, pianos and dining tables are usually left unmoved and are cleaned around as close as possible. Furniture legs will be protected with disposable plastic tabs.

STEP 3: Pre-Spray & Pre-Spot

Your carpet will be sprayed with 100% safe cleaning solution, and special pre-treatment of spots and traffic areas will be performed for a more thorough and effective clean.

STEP 4: Agitation

Your carpet will be agitated with a carpet groomer.

STEP 5: Extract & Rinse

After the soiling has been loosened, our hot water extraction process will provide a deep, clean rinse of the carpet pile, removing both the soiling and cleaning solution applied earlier in the process. Constant pressure and heat are monitored so that your carpet is not over-wet. We clean with water temperature at 220°C, which help kill common bacteria thereby sanitizing your carpets for a healthier living environment.

STEP 6: Neutralize

Neutralizing carpet so it is pH balanced is a very important step, as it eliminates any sticky residue left behind, leaving the carpets soft and less likely to attract soiling. This concept is similar to using fabric softener in your laundry or using conditioner in your hair. This treatment is applied after the Extract & Rinse process.

STEP 7: Pre-Spot Treatment

If any spots or stains remain evident, specialized spotting is performed on problem areas. Please note that permanent stains identified by out technicians may not be successfully removed.

We highly recommend Carpet Protector

(Fiber protection is applied between steps 8 and 10).

Consider these advantages:

• Spills clean easier
• Dry soil vacuums up easier
. Next professional cleaning more effective
• Carpets look better for longer
• Prevents potentially permanent stains!
• We only use premium quality DuPont Teflon protector

STEP 9: Speed Dry

High velocity air movers are placed on the carpet to speed dry carpet.     

STEP 10: Post Grooming

The carpet pile is set in one direction for faster drying and visual appeal.

Step 11: Post-Inspection

We will walk through your home with you to point out the cleaning results to make sure that you are completely thrilled with the job.

This method is frequently called “steam” cleaning due to the fine spray of water used to force dirt out of the carpet which is sucked up by the vacuum slot immediately in front of the spray. Seldom is real live steam used, however. This process consists of spraying a solution of water and detergent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. This is done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and floor tool brought inside.

From a health standpoint, the truck-mounted system is preferred because the dirty air and humidity are exhausted outside rather than recirculated around the house. Additionally, truck-mounted systems usually are more powerful than portable units and do a much better cleaning job and get the carpet dry more quickly.
