could have your carpets and cleaned exactly how you want them cleaned?

your needs and concerns. Then we help you select a cleaning plan

and leave
you with a smile!
To help you decide on a
competitively priced cleaning plan that’s just right for you, ask
yourself the following questions:
1. What results do I want when A
Better Carpet Cleaner cleans for me?
2. What long range goals (5-10
yrs) do I have for my carpeting & upholstery?
3. Which is more important to me; what I
pay now, or the long term cost of maintaining my carpets?
4. What special cleaning needs do
I have that need attention today?
Carpet cleaning can involve
many individual steps and combinations thereof. In steam
cleaning processes, they may include the following:
1. Pre-vacuuming- to remove loose, dry soil prior
to wetting the carpet
2. Pre-treating, or
pre-conditioning - to
break the bond between soil and carpet fibers (like pre-soaking
your laundry).
3. Pre-spotting - to aid spot/stain removal by
utilizing specialized solutions.
4. Rinsing and
extraction - to flush
out soil, spots and soap residues while neutralizing ph to minimize
re-soiling, inhibit wicking and speed drying.
5. Stain or restoration
treatments - may
involve bleaching or dying to achieve satisfactory results in
exceptionally difficult cleaning conditions.
6. Fiber protective treatment
- to inhibit
re-soiling by creating a fiber surface more difficult for soil to
adhere to and for stains to penetrate into.
7. Grooming - to speed drying and provide an
aesthetically pleasing finish.
8. High Velocity Air
Movers- to add
convenience by reducing drying times by as much as 50%, or to 1-4
hours.
Another popular carpet cleaning
processes is “Spin Bonnet cleaning” where the carpet is pretreated
with a cleaning solution then “wiped” clean with an absorbent pad
attached to a buffer. Chem-Dry is a familiar brand name that
utilizes this process because of its quick drying time. Dry Host is
another low moisture process that utilizes a compound that is
worked into the carpet fibers and then vacuumed out after absorbing
soil. Particulate build-up makes this process problematic over
time. Shampooing provides excellent agitation, but soap residues
can be a problem.
Which method is right for you
depends on your needs and objectives.

Fiber Protection
Discussion: New carpets
perform well, in large part, due to the advancements made in stain
and soil resistance. However, these properties erode through time
with everyday wear and use. Proper application of a high-quality
fiber protector will help to ensure years of continued performance,
making spills easier to remove, making vacuuming more effective and
thus elevating the beauty and extending the life of your carpet and
upholstery investments.
