Carpet Cleaning
Right chemistry on the right fiber. Stains don't wick back, dry-time matches your calendar, and the backing doesn't grow what shouldn't grow.
What goes wrong when it's half-done.
Carpet doesn't fail because of dirt. It fails because the wrong solution sits in the fiber too long, or the dry-down didn't happen and mold colonized the backing. A real carpet program matches the chemistry to the soil, the method to the calendar, and the dry-time to the way the building actually opens the next morning.
Four operational principles, written into the route plan.
Pre-treatment matched to the soil and fiber
Spot dwell time honored, not skipped
Air movers staged so the room is walkable on schedule
Before/after photo packet on completion
What's included
- Pre-vacuum and inspection
- Spot pre-treatment
- Hot-water extraction or low-moisture pass
- Traffic-lane focus
- Air-mover dry-down
What's not included
We name the line items we won't quietly run past you.
- Carpet repair or stretching
- Replacement
- Subfloor remediation after water damage
Specific tools. Documented chemistry. Operator credibility through specificity.
Equipment
- Truck-mount extraction at 220°F+ wand temp (faster soil release, faster dry)
- Encapsulation rotaries for low-moisture passes when the building can't go down for hours
- Carpet rakes for traffic-lane grooming after extraction
- Spotter kits with separate solutions for protein, tannin, oil, and ink — not one bottle for everything
Chemistry & approach
Soil source drives the method. Same square foot, different chemistry, different labor.
- Coffee, tea, soda (tannin)
- Tannin spotter, neutralize, rinse-extract. Heat helps.
- Blood, food (protein)
- Cold-water enzyme treatment first — heat sets protein into the fiber.
- Oil, grease, makeup
- Solvent spotter, dwell time, hot extraction.
- Pet urine
- Hydrogen-peroxide enzyme application with subsurface extraction. Black-light verify.
When to add this to a recurring program
Cadence options we run for Carpet: Quarterly, Semi-annual, Annual, Project. We'll sequence it inside your existing program so the building doesn't see a second crew.
