Services
Carpet Cleaning
Janssens employs a 12-step hot water extraction process for deep carpet cleaning. Our IICRC-certified technicians pre-inspect, pre-vacuum, and pre-treat stains before using truck-mounted steam equipment to remove embedded soil. The method includes pH balancing, spot removal, and high-velocity drying to prevent mold growth. This industry-standard technique, recommended by 96% of carpet companies, ensures thorough cleaning without over-wetting backing materials.
Rug Cleaning
We specialize in professional rug cleaning using IICRC and WoolSafe-approved methods. Our 18-step in-plant process includes dusting, colorfastness testing, submersion cleaning, and controlled drying. Natural fiber rugs receive specialized treatment to prevent dye migration, while fringe restoration and fiber protection applications extend rug longevity. This facility-based approach allows comprehensive soil removal and damage prevention compared to on-site alternatives.
Upholstery Cleaning
Janssens offers certified upholstery cleaning with a 12-step system tailored to fabric types. Technicians perform pre-inspections, apply fiber-specific solutions, and use gentle extraction methods to remove soil without damaging delicate materials. The process includes pH balancing, spot treatment, and speed drying to restore furniture appearance while maintaining fabric integrity, even for antique or high-value pieces.
Tile and Grout Cleaning
Our tile and grout cleaning service combines mechanical agitation with pH-balanced solutions to remove embedded soils. Technicians use protective entry systems, pre-conditioning agents, and high-pressure rinsing to restore surfaces without harsh chemicals. Optional sealing applications protect against future staining while preserving tile aesthetics, addressing both residential and commercial needs.
Hardwood Maintenance
We provide non-abrasive hardwood floor cleaning using specialized equipment and solutions. The process removes household pollutants and pet oils without damaging finishes. While not restoring worn polyurethane layers, our method effectively cleans surface contaminants and prepares floors for re-finishing when necessary, maintaining the natural beauty of wood surfaces.

Questions
What causes black lines around baseboards on carpets?
These filtration soiling lines result from air passing through carpet edges, depositing microscopic particles over time. Regular vacuuming helps prevent buildup.
Are your cleaning methods safe for families and pets?
We use only steam and biodegradable solutions without harsh chemicals, ensuring safe environments for children and animals.
Do you guarantee your cleaning services?
Yes, we offer a 100% money-back guarantee up to $1,000 if you're unsatisfied with our work.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Manufacturers recommend annual cleaning, with high-traffic areas requiring more frequent maintenance to preserve fiber integrity.
Can you remove pet urine odors from carpets?
Our multi-layer treatment neutralizes urine at all contamination levels, though severe cases may require padding replacement for complete odor elimination.
What distinguishes your cleaning process from competitors?
Our 12-step system exceeds CRI standards with truck-mounted extraction, pH balancing, and Quick-Dry technology for superior results in less time.
