Vacuum regularly, 2. Clean up spills as soon as possible, 3. Have the carpets professionally cleaned, and 4. Have carpet protector reapplied after each cleaning. Carpet is a big investment.

Window Cleaning
We can clean windows for both residential and commercial buildings. When working indoors, we wear shoe covers and use tarps to protect floors and window sills. We can also clean skylights. For window cleaning, you can send us pictures of your home or business to get a same-day estimate. Otherwise, we would be happy to come and provide an estimate.
Rug Cleaning
In general, we clean your area rugs off-site. Wet rugs can damage wood floors, which are common in the downtown Portland area. In some circumstances, we can clean rugs on-site depending on the thickness of the rug and the degree of soiling. Off-site rug cleaning produces better results because we can use more agitation, more water, and speed up drying.
Tile and Grout Cleaning
Do you live in the Pearl, South Waterfront or in one of the new multi-story buildings on the East side? We are one of a handful of carpet cleaning companies that happily service high-rise buildings in Portland. Most companies are simply not equipped or trained to do any type of upholstery or carpet cleaning in a high-rise building. We are! We use portable machines that we can take up the elevator. Whether it’s cleaning upholstery furniture on the 4th floor of a hotel or cleaning and repairing bedroom carpet on the 16th floor of a condo or apartment, we can do it. We can also clean your hardwood floors, and clean your tile and grout in your bathroom. Whatever the floor surface, we can clean it! Our minimum service charge is $150 for all high-rise work.
Vacuuming
Nearly every home we clean has some amount of hardwood installed. A hardwood floor is a beautiful choice for high traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens, and entryways. Hardwood floors stand up well to dirt, grime, and animals. The urethane finish on wood floors protects the wood while giving it a beautiful shine. It is also generally easy to clean on a day-to-day basis, requiring only vacuuming and a light mopping.
Furniture Cleaning
Odor Removal
If a urine spot remains undetected, you will usually be able to find it within a few days after it has completely dried because of the off-gassing that occurs. Dried urine will smell like strong ammonia, especially when the humidity is high or when the area is rewetted. The smell will vary depending on the type of animal, its age, sex, and diet. There are many products available to counteract urine odor, but many of them simply mask the odor, and will wear off with time. Some pet odor-removal products can damage textiles, so thorough testing is necessary.
Mattress Cleaning
Stain Removal
PRO-TECH Cleaning Services is not a franchise. Most of the work is performed personally by the owner, which is a guarantee to clients that they will consistently receive top quality work. We clean all types of textiles, including wall-to-wall carpeting, area rugs, and upholstered furniture. We specialize in removing carpet odor and specialty spot removal. We also clean leather furniture, tile and stone floors, and wood floors. Find out more about our services by clicking on the link above.
Carpet Repair
Carpet repair services are an important part of our business. With the high cost of quality carpeting, it is only logical to pay a relatively small amount to fix unsightly structural damage such as carpet burns, missing rows, carpet tears, or open seams.
Steam Cleaning
The rotary cleaning machine both agitates and rinses the tiles. It is attached to our truck-mounted steam cleaning unit, providing water at temperatures of 230 degrees and simultaneously removing all soil and water from the floor. The tile dries within a matter of minutes and can be walked on immediately.
Deep Cleaning
If you're not satisfied with your results, please call us. Even if you don't need our help, please try to remember what was spilled and where it happened. That way you can point it out to us when we come to do your carpet's periodic deep cleaning. Some spills - and especially pet accidents - can leave bothersome residues that require special treatment.
Floor Cleaning
Unless otherwise instructed, the moving of tables, chairs, and sofas is a standard part of the carpet or wood floor cleaning process.
Sweeping
Stone and tile floors are becoming increasing popular in homes today. Homeowners can choose between ceramic tile, marble, slate, travertine, and granite, and soapstone among others. While sweeping and mopping is necessary for daily maintenance, professional cleaning and sealing is necessary to keep your floors looking their best. Oil and grease mixes with fine particulate soil to create a thin film on the surface that can not be removed with a mop. Brush agitation and stone-specific detergent cleaners are the necessary tools to do the job. We use Stonetech cleaning products ( www.stonetechpro.com ) to clean, maintain and protect all hard surface floor types. Below are outlined the basic steps involved in hard surface cleaning.
Gutter Cleaning
We start by cleaning out all the dry debris, like leaves and twigs. We do this by hand to avoid damaging shingles. Then we rinse the gutter and downspouts with water to remove all remaining debris. We’ll also check for any gutter damage that may have occurred over time. If we notice any area of concern, we’ll let you know immediately. In many cases, we can repair gutters right on the spot.
Green Cleaning
As a green cleaning company, we are committed to doing our part in helping maintain a healthy indoor environment. A proper cleaning process removes oil and various chemicals, bacteria food sources, and allergens. Our goal is to improve the indoors without harming the outdoors.
Commercial cleaning products are considerably less toxic and dangerous than what a consumer can buy and put under their sink for their own cleaning chores. Commercial products are formulated in professional strength, but when diluted for actual use they become significantly weaker and therefore less likely to cause any irritation on the part of the user or others.
A. If there are floor boards that are discolored from wear or water damage, they will have to be sanded to improve their appearance. No amount of cleaning will fix wood that is damaged. The original urethane coating has worn away, exposing bare wood, which quickly darkens from soil absorption. Refinishing wood floors means sanding 1/16 of an inch off the top layer of wood to expose clean, pristine wood grain. The floor is honed smooth using orbital sanding machines, then coated with multiple layers of clear floor finish. We have attended the Bona Training Academy and are certified to properly refinish wood floors. We use the Bona Dust Containment System to ensure an almost dustless process. We exclusively use Bona waterborne floor finishes because they are the most durable, there is no odor, and they are the most environmentally friendly finishes available. When your floor is refinished, you can change the floor’s color by staining it. We offer this service for an additional cost. Oak can look almost white, or almost black, and every shade in between. We would be happy to discuss your options with you.
Our crew is trained to clean flat commercial roofs, both TPO and asphalt. We can also clean residential composition roofing and cedar shake roofs. For most roofs we remove debris by hand using brushes and eco-friendly cleaning solutions. Some roof materials can be cleaned safely using power washing equipment.
