Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our Hot Carbonating Extraction process uses non-toxic solutions to remove deep-seated dirt and allergens from carpets. The carbonation method lifts contaminants to the surface for efficient extraction, using 80% less water than steam cleaning. This results in faster drying times (1-2 hours) and reduced risk of mold growth while maintaining carpet longevity.
Upholstery Cleaning
Professional cleaning for upholstered furniture using carbonation technology to remove stains and allergens without harsh chemicals. The process preserves fabric integrity while applying protective treatments that resist future stains. Drying typically completes within hours, minimizing disruption to household routines.
Pet Urine Removal
P.U.R.T. (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) targets urine crystals at their source using chemical reactions to destroy odor-causing compounds. Specialized UV light detection identifies hidden contamination areas in carpets and padding. This treatment permanently eliminates pet-related odors rather than masking them with fragrances.
Commercial Cleaning
Tailored cleaning solutions for business environments including carpets, cubicles, and upholstery. The low-moisture process minimizes downtime with rapid drying, making it ideal for offices, medical facilities, and retail spaces. Safe, non-toxic formulas maintain professional appearance without disrupting daily operations.
Area Rug Cleaning
Specialized cleaning for area and oriental rugs using gentle yet effective methods that preserve colors and fibers. Technicians evaluate rug materials to determine optimal cleaning approaches, including stain removal and protective treatments. The process revitalizes patterns while eliminating embedded allergens and dirt.
