There are none for the residential consumer! There are great benefits for the novice Carpet Cleaner.

Dry carpet cleaning is many times reserved for commercial carpet since commercial carpet is a complete different animal than residential carpet. Fiber type, fiber construction, carpet weight or thickness of the commercial carpet and the installation – glue down, have much to do with the method to be used. Residential carpet is completely opposite and has been designed for Hot Water Extraction (truck mounted steam cleaning).

The carpet cleaning industry in San Diego is over populated, when you lose your job or get laid off the Carpet Cleaning business is where many go to. The start-up costs are tremendous unless you take the Low Road to Dry Carpet Cleaning. The start-up costs very affordable & many have businesses that provide the equipment to these new novices and make it sound very attractive. a typical start-up package contains a Janitor’s Floor Buffer that is typically used for polishing or scrubbing floors, a set of round material rags called bonnets, a pump up garden sprayer for the chemicals & of course the chemicals needed. The selling message is given to each prospective dry carpet cleaner. The Mold word is included in the speech, new technology, deep cleaning and of course dry in 1-2 hours. The only thing the novice needs now is a small car to carry the floor buffer in the trunk.

There is one benefit I suppose to the property manager or apartment manager that is looking to get a carpet to look clean for a quick turn around and not pay very much because this method is cheap. This is why many renters are perplexed when they can not figure out why the carpets got so dirty after a month and giant spill spots all returned in black.

The bad thing is not only did the dirt only get buffed deeper into the carpet and rearranged throughout each room but the terrible carpet cleaning chemical was left behind in a residual state. That’s right, there are unknown sticky chemical residues in the carpet or chemical residues that flake off & go airborne for you to breathe.

Yeah, sure, the carpet dried in 1-2 hours, it was cheaper than truck mount steam flush, rinse & extraction cleaning, but you got left with the dirt so really you didn’t get what is defined as CLEAN. Whooops, I forgot about the guy that claims this service is green & leaves no residues. There are a few out there that claim this. Green because they don’t use fossil fuel but plug into your electricity and do not want to know what really generates that electricity. In their warped view, the use of electricity over rides safety & hygiene for the consumer. Leaving a chemical residue, the dirt & the bacteria for you is okay and saving the planet with that check you just wrote for what you assumed was Carpet CLEANING is what they are all about.

Now here is the thing, at

Now when it comes to Green, Organic & Natural Carpet Cleaning I have that handled with the safest cleaners around. They are all matched to the clients needs & the carpet fiber. They are all applied to the carpet as the pre-conditioner then steam cleaned away with pure soft water to leave you with true Zero Residue Carpet Cleaning. There is no empowered water with a secret proprietory ingredient, just water for a softer, healthier and stress free carpet cleaning

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.
