In the event that a stain cannot be removed by our steam cleaning or specialty stain removal process, rest assured, repairing the affected area is always an option.

First, and most importantly, it is the ONLY cleaning process recommended by your carpet manufacturer. Your carpets must be professionally steam cleaned at regular intervals to maintain the manufacturer’s warranty. Additionally, we have found that steam cleaning is both a surface cleaner and a deep penetrating cleaner. The steam cleaning process will remove surface stains and also deep clean down into the carpet fibers where bacteria and other stains can linger.
