How Does Our Carpet Cleaning Work?
When cleaning carpet in Ocala, Lady Lake, or The Villages,
Florida we strictly follow the IICRC's guidelines. The IICRC is the
internationally recognized authority on carpet cleaning. Using a non IICRC
certified firm may void your carpet warranty.
1. Vacuuming
The
first thing any certified carpet cleaner must do is vacuum. Dry soil
accounts for 80% of the dirt brought into homes. Once we spray the carpet dry
dirt gets wet and can be nearly impossible to remove. Think of wet sand on the
beach.
If we
skip vacuuming we could be leaving all that dirt behind!
2. Pre-spray
The next step in our carpet cleaning process involves
spraying the carpet with a cleaning detergent. Our carpet cleaning detergent is
fairly similar to powder Tide(TM) and is thus safe for you and pets!
This step dissolves any dirt in the carpet and makes extracting it much easier.
3. Extraction
We are trained to use multiple carpet cleaning methods.
Because of this and customer demand we offer our customers more options than
most other carpet cleaners; steam carpet cleaning which dries in 4 to 8
hours and our deep scrub carpet cleaning which dries in just one hour.
4. Grooming
Next
comes grooming with a carpet rake. This separates fibers so they dry faster,
makes the carpet look more even, and reveals any spots that may require a
second treatment.
If
Scotchgard was applied raking distributes it more evenly across the carpet.
Like any step, raking should not be skipped by any Ocala carpet cleaners.
5. Drying
Certified
carpet cleaners are taught to make the carpet dry ASAP. The longer the
carpet is wet the longer it has to attract dirt and disrupt your life.
Many
people expect the carpet to dry in 24 to 48 hours. We however are crushed if it
takes more than 8 hours to dry. Sometimes our steam carpet cleanings dry in as
little as 4 hours!
