I don’t know about you but my home is my refuge from the pollution and the world outside. I like my air clean, I like the dirt kept outside and I want the chemical exposure kept to a minimum.

The biggest air filter in our homes – our carpets, collect and hold contaminates on a daily basis waiting for you to remove with the vacuum. The sticky, greasy soil that you can’t remove ends up attracts soil and that is when you need me.

Certain carpet fiber types require certain cleaners to break down grease where that particular fiber loves to hold the oily soils. Other fibers are very easy to clean of oily soils but love to stain, while other fibers are very sensitive to what is used to clean them with. The task is to use something that is safe for me,  safe for you and your carpet fibers in order to remove all of that.

Carpet Cleaners have access to many safe cleaning agents today but they require a few additional steps at times in order to achieve what the hazardous speed cleaning chemicals can achieve. I don’t know of too many cleaners that use them anymore because many of us are not only concerned for your health and ours but also for any liability issues.

There have been some great advances in Carpet Cleaning equipment & tools that allow for very thorough flush & rinse of carpets that mean you get optimum cleaning results today. Residues of preconditioners are completely rinsed away. Getting a Green cleaning service with a Green preconditioner applied to your carpets and then completely flushed & rinsed away along with the soil means no more chemical or soap residues left in your carpet.

Our flush & rinse system actually rinses away the residues from your last carpet cleaner, especially if you had the Chemical Dry method used on your carpets last service where there was no extraction process. Although we use much more water in order to get your carpets to a total zero residue clean it is worth it. The old ways of high pressure rinsing with the older tools meant that some of the preconditioners were left deep in the carpet fibers. The dry cleaning methods have always been a culprit at rearranging the soil along with the cleaning chemicals because they have zero extraction capability except for very little absorption.  There is no rinse action with these methods.

Carpet Cleaning doesn’t have to dirty that way, it can be healthy and safe. Keeping the bad chemicals out the equation just for the sake of saving a little more time is a good thing for you and for us. All of our residential service is Truck Mounted Steam Cleaning. We always use a High Flow Flush & Rinse system to leave your home healthier than it was before we got there.

Our definition of  “Clean” is the true definition and this is why our service is much slower than the last that you may have had. New clients all the time are perplexed when they get a 2.5 – 3 hour service estimate. Like I said, it’s all about the Flush & Rinse not the Splash & Dash or the Dry Clean Scrub & Run.

I get the calls every week – “what method of cleaning do you use” and I have to reply – ” I use them all but I will always recommend Truckmounted Steam Cleaning“.

Many of those callers will recite to me the Fear Marketing Spin that the Chemical Dry company used to use: Wet Evil, Dry Good.

I’m a patient man but I have problems with people who can not use common sense & basically are sheep. We must think everything through before we make decisions and before we take anyone’s marketing or advertisements for gospel truth, we must do our research!

Before you get agitated at me let me explain a few things to you. I use all methods of cleaning, I have almost every system there is, just ask my wife who is barely able to fit her car into our garage and ask her what she thinks of me for investing in useless equipment that collects dust.

I started my business with all methods and cut my teeth on commercial carpet for a lot of years trying to perfect it. I have used & tried everything over the years and I can & will give you an unbiased opinion based on what I know first hand.

All methods are good for something and can be used successfully. Only one method is recommended by the majority of all carpet manufacturers and those that warranty the product. The single method carpet cleaner is biased & has become a cult member to his/her method & will convince themselves that they have found a miracle method. Some are smart enough to realize that the method they use does no really work but it is cheap & saves them on overhead. Experience carpet cleaners that are in this to exceed & provide quality cleaning use many methods or a combination of methods.

Hot Water Extraction(HWE) comes in two forms – Portable electric machines or Fossil Fuel powered truck-mounted machines with positive displacement vacuum blowers to provide you extreme powerful vacuum suction able to rinse carpets of large volumes of water that is required to flush & rinse them clean. High heat is provided by heat exchange units or fuel sourced heaters. Portable machines are no match for Truckmounted units but are better than nothing when the truck can not reach. The problem with portable machines is that they require electricity & have a habit of tripping breaker so that the high power that is required for portable machines can not be manufactured, instead low power is used to keep these machines operational.

The bottom line is Flush, Rinse, Extraction, Extraction, Extraction! Yes, a large volume of water must be used to properly clean anything. You know this because you have washed your hair in the shower before, try that with a Dry Cleaning process & let me know how that went.

Next, we want the carpet to Dry Fast! After all that water flush & rinse action it should dry fast because not only was all the dirt rinsed out but so was all that water! if done right by a professional – operator then it will dry fast.

So, not only do we use the evil water to flush & rinse your carpets clean of all soil, bacteria & residue, we also get them Dry Quick, by the time we leave or very close to it! How much quicker than the Dry Cleaner? Just as fast! The only difference is that we used a large amount of water to ensure that it was clean & residue free!.

The Dry Cleaning Process – uses very little moisture, some call it “Low Moisture” but it isn’t. The rage is to apply a very fine mist of a Chemical application & rub it in with a high speed Floor Buffer like Janitors use to polish floors. This is the cheap mans method, costs very little to operate and removes very little soil! This method alone does not equate to clean! Where did the soil go, where did the chemical go? There is no extraction process instead the dirt just gets rearranged. Several cheap start-up companies go this way & rely on the old Fear Marketing Scams to pimp these methods. You hear fear language like Mold, Wet, Damage & Shrinkage. Common sense tells you that mold requires an organic environment to grow & survive but 99% of all residential carpet is Synthetic, Wet, you betcha, it takes water to get it clean but not wet for long! Damage, the 2nd most important reason that Floor Buffer Dry Cleaning will void your warranty besides it not really cleaning is that it will Damage your carpet fibers by Blooming the Tips of the fiber tips, I see it every day. Truckmount Carpet Steam Cleaning does not damage seams or carpet fibers because of the gentle cleaning method rather than the heavy aggressive floor buffer method. As far as Shrinkage goes, well as you probably already know: Synthetic Fibers do not Shrink! This is all 50′s & 60″s rhetoric that has been used over & over like a broken record from those that continue to use & operate ancient technology & try to spin it into a “New Trend Hi-Tech” cleaning method that has been just discovered.

With all the methods & systems that I have you must ask yourself why a 51 year old Carpet Cleaner would rather use a very labor intensive method of cleaning, a very expensive system to operate & much more time consuming compared to Dry Cleaning? It just does not make sense right? I sleep at nights knowing that I provided the very best for my clients, I’d rather take the cheap and easy route, make more money faster but it isn’t right! If you want another method of cleaning & I can’t talk you out of it then I will provide you the method of your choice.

You want the dirt removed, You want no residue left in the carpet, You want is safe, You want it done professionally & You want it to dry fast. Do yourself a favor if you doubt me, call me after you have it Dry Cleaned & let me clean 1 room for you and I will give you back the dirty water I extracted, you can then decide if you are still skeptical.

There are soon to be restrictions on water use, mandatory conservation & possible fines for those who exceed their allotted use. This will greatly effect Deep , Zero Residue, Carpet Carpet Cleaning in San Diego!

We are a Multi Method Carpet Cleaning company that uses all forms, methods & systems of carpet cleaning. The most labor intensive method but the most thorough method that actually removes soils & restores carpets is Truck-Mounted Steam Cleaning. This is the method that nearly all carpet manufacturers recommend for a very good reason – to protect the product that they back up with their warranty! It also provides you with the cleanest carpet cleaning available. This method uses a large volume of water to Flush & Rinse your dirty carpets of soils, bacteria, dust mites, pollens & residues.

There are a few other methods but so many systems. Each has a certain level of cleaning & this is why we use Truck-Mount steam cleaning as our primary service. We prefer to take the harder route & Deep Clean all carpets via the Truck-Mount System for ethical reasons & to provide our clients with truly clean carpets free of chemical, soap & soil residues!

Now, since we have or will have water use restrictions, how will we work this out? Well, we do have Low Flow tools on our truck to provide Truckmount steam cleaning with half the amount of water that we would normally use compared to our High Flow tools. We can cut the water usage in half! This means sacrifice of that total Flush & Rinse of carpeting. This will mean that carpets will have to be cleaned on a very regular basis. This will effect those real dirty situations! Because of this we will deploy our Low Moisture system to clean the carpet in a Dry Cleaning style to break down & dissolve soils, absorb them in our special cotton towel system, then conduct a Low Moisture Steam Clean to flush & rinse out the soils & detergents with much less water as we would normally.

For those situations & depending on the water restrictions that require extreme water conservation we will have to use our Low Moisture Extraction method. This process is still Green & Natural, uses 10 times less water than steam cleaning & Dries in less than an hour, normally bone dry by the time I leave. I have used this system for years but it is still a fact that it is inferior to Truck-Mount Steam cleaning.
