Typical Dry Time is 4-8 Hours. We use effective methods for quick drying. For low moisture cleaning, carpets are usually dry to the touch right after we’re done. With hot water extractions, we use a powerful truckmount vacuum, fans, and advanced techniques to accelerate drying time.

Remember, factors such as high humidity, poor ventilation, or non-functioning air conditioning can impact drying times.

Clear the Pathways: Remove any obstacles or clutter from the areas where the technicians will be working. This includes toys, small furniture items, or any other objects that could obstruct their access to the carpets or air ducts.

Move Lightweight Furniture: While the company may move minimal furniture, it's a good idea for the client to move as muca furniture as possible or as desired. This could include chairs, small tables, or floor lamps. Clearing the space as much as possible allows the technicians to focus on cleaning without having to navigate around furniture.

Secure Fragile Items: If there are any fragile or valuable items in the cleaning areas, ensure they are safely secured or removed from the space. This prevents any accidental damage during the cleaning process.

Communicate Special Instructions: If there are specific areas or items that require special attention or handling, communicate these instructions clearly to the cleaning technicians before they begin their work. This could include delicate carpets, sensitive electronics, or areas with stubborn stains. Any furniture expected to be moved needs to be communicated prior to the technician beginning their work.

Pets and Children: If there are pets or small children in the household, make arrangements to keep them safely away from the cleaning areas during the service. This helps to prevent any accidents or disturbances while the technicians are working.

Provide Access: Ensure that the technicians have easy access to the areas they will be cleaning, including entryways, hallways, and any other relevant spaces. If there are any security codes or keys required for access, make sure these are provided in advance.

By following these steps, clients can help to ensure that the carpet cleaning and air duct service can be carried out efficiently and effectively, with minimal disruption to their daily routine.

Hot Water Extraction (HWE):

(Steam Cleaning)

The process involves spraying hot water mixed with cleaning detergent onto the carpet under high pressure.

This mixture loosens dirt, stains, and allergens embedded in the carpet fibers.

A powerful vacuum then extracts the water, along with the dislodged dirt and grime, leaving the carpet clean and refreshed.

HWE is effective for deep cleaning carpets and removing tough stains. It's also recommended by many carpet manufacturers.

Very Low Moisture (VLM) Carpet Cleaning:

VLM cleaning is a method that uses minimal water compared to traditional steam cleaning.

Instead of hot water, VLM cleaning typically involves the application of a specialized cleaning solution onto the carpet fibers.

The solution is agitated into the carpet using brushes or pads, which help to dislodge dirt and stains.

Once the cleaning solution has been applied and worked into the carpet, it is then extracted along with the loosened soil using a vacuum or absorbent pads.

VLM cleaning is often preferred in situations where rapid drying is essential, such as in commercial settings where downtime must be minimized.

Both HWE and VLM carpet cleaning methods have their advantages and are suitable for different situations. The choice between them depends on factors such as carpet type, soiling level, drying time requirements, and personal preference. It's advisable to consult with a professional carpet cleaner to determine the best method for your specific needs.

Fabric protectors and pet treatments offer several benefits for carpets:

Stain Resistance: Fabric protectors create a barrier on carpet fibers, helping to repel liquids and prevent them from penetrating deeply into the carpet. This makes it easier to clean up spills and prevents them from becoming stubborn stains.

Extended Carpet Life: By repelling liquids and preventing stains, fabric protectors can help extend the life of your carpet. Stains and soil can weaken carpet fibers over time, leading to premature wear and tear. By keeping the carpet cleaner and free from stains, fabric protectors help maintain its appearance and structural integrity.

Ease of Cleaning: Treated carpets are easier to clean since spills and stains are less likely to adhere to the fibers. Regular vacuuming and occasional professional cleaning can effectively remove dirt and debris from treated carpets, keeping them looking fresh and new.

Odor Control: Pet treatments often include odor-neutralizing agents that help eliminate pet odors from carpets. These treatments can be especially beneficial for households with pets, as they help keep the carpet smelling fresh and clean.

Allergen Reduction: Some fabric protectors and pet treatments also have anti-allergen properties, which can help reduce allergens such as pet dander, dust mites, and pollen trapped in the carpet fibers. This is particularly important for individuals with allergies or respiratory issues.

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your carpet is protected against spills, stains, and pet accidents can provide peace of mind, especially in households with children or pets. Fabric protectors and pet treatments offer an extra layer of defense against everyday mishaps, helping to preserve the beauty and cleanliness of your carpet.

Overall, fabric protectors and pet treatments are valuable investments for maintaining the appearance and longevity of your carpet, especially in households with high traffic or pets. They provide added protection against stains, odors, and allergens, making it easier to keep your carpet clean and looking its best for years to come.
