Our main method of carpet cleaning is advanced hot water extraction.

We apply Traffic Lane Cleaner to area we are going to start cleaning in. Using a proprietary mix that we let this sit (dwell) on the carpet while the equipment is set up, usually about five minutes. As we work we will spray the Traffic Lane Cleaner in advance so that it can dwell and go to work loosening the dirt.  (For the technical reader, Traffic Lane Cleaner’s help to defloculate, agglomerate and suspend soils which, essentially, means to separate soil particles, combine them into a ball like structure and suspend them ready for easier extraction). Some people will ask “Why is it necessary to pre-spray with Traffic Lane Cleaner if we use a cleaner in the General Cleaning solution.?” Pre-spraying the carpet gives the chemicals time to go to work on the dirt and grime. Like when you spray cleaner on your laundry and let it sit for a few minutes before putting it in the wash. An important fact to know is that this is a normal part of cleaning the carpet and no Professional Carpet Cleaner will ever charge extra for this.
As mentioned before we will then set up the equipment. The machine itself stays outside your house or building and we bring in the water and vacuum hoses into your property. By leaving the machine outside the property any contaminated dirty air is taken outside and NOT blown around inside the property.Using a “Scrub Wand” (we don’t actually scrub with it, it is just called that) we apply a rinsing agent. The rinsing agent and water mix suspends the dirt that was loosen by the pre-spray and the scrub wand extracts the whole mess out to the waste tank of the machine outside the property.

For every stroke of rinse application, we extract twice.

We extract at least 95% of the water that we use. This greatly reduces the drying time required.

Spot cleaning is done on a as needed basis during the cleaning process. Some stains, like pet stains, will need pre-treated with a specific chemical, but with the highly developed chemicals we have today, most spots and stains will come out with the general cleaning process.
If there has been any furniture that was moved we will move it back to where it was, or at least as close as we can get it. Then put either Styrofoam blocks or small plastic squares we call “Tabs” under the furniture that has wood or metal legs.
Once were done crack a window or door on each end of the house to create a draft. Keeping the air moving will dry the carpets much faster.
DON’T turn up the heat. That will cause it to get humid in the house and the carpet will take forever to dry.
That is the process in a nut shell.
