Carpet Cleaning Questions
First, carpets are hoovered to remove any loose dirt, dust or particles. Following hoovering, carpets are pre-treated in order to remove stains. Then shampoo is applied to the entire carpet(s). This is left to sit and then extracted at high pressure with steam and heat. This takes out about 90% of moisture and removes stains caused by spills, pets and wear and tear. Following the cleaning itself, we deodorize the cleaned areas and finally, we use an industrial fan to minimize the time it takes for the carpets to dry.
Q. How long will it take before my carpet is dry?
With the application of steam cleaning, it typically takes about 2 hours for the carpet to completely dry. When Scotchgard is used we recommend a 4-hour-wait for better protection results.
Q. Why should I protect my carpet with Scotchgard?
Scotchgard™ seals your carpet to protect it from stains, mess and normal wear. This ensures your carpet will last longer, hold its colour better, and require rare cleaning afterwards. Our carpet cleaners are equipped with a variety of protective chemicals to suit every fabric type. We can perform a thorough application of stain protector at your request.
Q. What if your cleaners damage my carpet?
Despite best intentions and proper precautions, accidents can happen. Concerning our company, we are fully insured and will take responsibility for any damage we cause to your carpets or upholstery during our professional cleaning services.
