Carpets
We use hot water extraction. This system is commonly referred to as “steam cleaning,” although no steam is actually generated. The process consists of applying a cleaning agent into the carpet pile and using water in the extractor to recover the used solution and soil.
Pickup items from the floor, a light vacuuming to remove loose soil, pets should be confined to another area of the home.
The amount of time for your carpet to completely dry is determined by several factors; humidity, temperature and air flow and even the carpet pile. It may take anywhere between 4-8 hours for the carpet to completely dry, depending on the aforementioned variables. Using fans in any rooms cleaned and turning your air conditioning or heating system on, depending on the time of year, can help accelerate drying time. Be sure to leave the protective blocks under furniture legs and any paper used with upholstered items in place until the carpet and/or furniture is completely dry to avoid any color transfer.
You may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but make sure the soles of your shoes are clean. Be careful when walking from damp, carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.
