When preparing for the carpet cleaning technician to arrive, there are a few things to consider. It is highly recommended to thoroughly vacuum the carpeted areas to be steam cleaned prior to the scheduled time. Removing toys, clothes, and other small items before the carpet cleaning appointment is greatly appreciated. Small furniture that needs to be moved for cleaning the carpet might be covered in personal items or lamps. If these items were removed as well, it would also help. We usually move the couch and chair, clean the carpet behind where they sit, and move them back. Plastic is placed under wood and metal legs. Large items that sit flat on the floor will need to be put on blocks if the customer requires them to be moved. We usually work around the bigger furniture items and steam clean the traffic areas, but we can move just about anything. We want to do the job the way the customer wants it done.
Upholstery Cleaning
Using the proper upholstery cleaning equipment will ensure not only a shiny clean, but it will also only leave the furniture damp and not soaking wet. After a professional furniture cleaning, the items that were cleaned should dry in just a fews hours. Turning on ceiling fans to increase air circulation will promote faster drying after steam cleaning the upholstery.
Vacuuming
Protective coatings can also help when vacuuming. Static electricity tends to build in carpet. People got shocked all the time for years just from walking across the carpet in their socks and touching a metal object or even when touching someone else. It happened so much is was just considered a natural part of life. People don't seem to get shocked that much these days. That's because protective coatings on carpet tend to eliminate static electricity because they are made of non-conductive materials. Static electricity can act like a magnet on dust particles holding them deep down in the carpet pulling the dust down while the vacuum cleaner tries to pull the dust and dirt up.
Furniture Cleaning
The upholstery steam cleaning process is very similar to steam cleaning carpet. It just doesn't take the horsepower that it takes for the carpet cleaning extraction system. Upholstery cleaning is a delicate process. Some of the fabrics on today's furniture are extremely delicate and demand a soft touch while steam cleaning sofas, loveseats, chairs, recliners, or other furniture items. Furniture cleaning requires a specialized hand tood designed to easily reach deep down into the cracks and crevices in the upholstery. This handy little tool makes steam cleaning around the edges of pillows and cushions a breeze. If the color has faded a bit over time, once the furniture has been professionally steam cleaned, a color brightner can be applied to bring back that origianal show room luster it once had. A protective coating can be applied to extend the life of the fabrics brilliant colors and backgrounds.
Odor Removal
For pet odor removal or odor control, pet sanitizers and deodorizors work well many times. Small pet problems are obviously much more easy to deal with than big ones. A good professional deep steam cleaning with a basic deodorizor can do the trick a lot of times on small pet stains and pet odors. When there is a substantial amount of contamination below the surface saturating the backing of the carpet and the padding underneath the carpet, removing pet stains and removing pet odor can be much more difficult if not impossible.
Steam Cleaning
We use truck mounted steam cleaning equipment which requires water. We usually hook up to the outside water hydrant, but we can hook up to almost any sink as a last resort. We don't necessarily need electricity, but good lighting is helpful and air conditioning is required in the afternoons of the hotter summer months.
Deep Cleaning
When it is time to clean the carpet, get a professionally trained steam cleaning technician that uses truck mounted steam cleaning equipment. Treating spots and traffic areas is part of our most basic carpet cleaning process. Our truck mounted hot water extraction method heats the water for deep penetration and offers super vacuum power which allows the carpet to dry fast and clean. Our deep cleaning system removes most carpet stains, soils, and spots without leaving soapy residues behind. Once the carpet has been professionally cleaned, a protective coating can be applied to help spots from becoming permanent stains and it allows for easy cleaning. Pet odor removal can be done with a simple pet sanitizer, or more aggressive deodorizers are availabe if needed. We also offer upholstery steam cleaning for sofas, loveseats, chairs, recliners, sofa sectionals, dining room chairs, and other furniture items.
When a home is flooded with water, this water will begin to penetrate into the carpet, walls, cabinets, and other materials. Most of the time these items can be dried with little or not significant damage. The job of the water damage restoration team is to minimize secondary damage. After the standing water has been extracted, items that got wet must be restored to their pre-loss moisture conditions. Air movement is used to remove moist air away from wet surfaces. Air movers move moist air away from wet carpet, walls, and cabinets and replace it with dry air. Dehumidifiers continue to produce dry air, and the air movers blow this dry air across wet surfaces. There are many types of air movers. Some are better at drying carpet, some are better at drying cabinets, some are better at drying walls, some are better at drying crawl spaces, and some are better at drying attics.
Structural Drying
Water removal can mean two different things when it comes to a flooded house, a flooded building, a flooded church, or a flooded school. Some carpet cleaners do basic water extractions, and they leave. They remove standing water, and they leave wet walls, wet cabinets, and wet furniture to dry on their own. With professional training and the latest models in structural drying equipment, it still takes several days of aggressive drying to restore items like hardwood and concrete to pre-loss moisture conditions. Without the drying equipment, it could take weeks or months for these items to return to pre-loss moisture conditions. By this time, the damage may be beyond repair. Mold, discoloration, and deformation can become problems resulting from excessive moisture over an extended period of time.
