Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our IICRC-certified technicians use truck-mounted hot water extraction to remove 94% of household allergens. We employ EPA Safer Choice solutions that leave no residue while preserving carpet warranties. The multi-step process begins with vacuuming, pre-treatment, and customized solution application followed by complete extraction. Specializing in tough stains and odor elimination, our method extends carpet life by restoring fiber integrity through professional-grade cleaning techniques.
Oriental Rug Cleaning
We provide specialized care for handmade and machine-made rugs through off-site cleaning. Our process includes dye stability testing, soil analysis, and fiber-specific treatment followed by controlled drying. Services cover Persian, Chinese, Turkish, and Dhurrie rugs among other types. Using wool-safe chemicals and fringe care techniques, we restore rugs while offering moth treatment and WoolSafe protection. Free pickup and delivery ensures proper handling of valuable textiles.
Mold Remediation
Our certified team addresses mold concerns through comprehensive inspection and containment solutions. We perform air and surface sampling for laboratory analysis, followed by total containment strategies using plastic barriers and HEPA filtration units. The remediation process focuses on moisture source elimination before implementing proper drying techniques. We specialize in post-water-damage mold prevention and treatment while maintaining safe indoor air quality standards.
Upholstery Cleaning
We clean diverse upholstery materials including silk, wool, cotton, and synthetic fibers using low-moisture techniques for sensitive fabrics. Our process begins with fiber analysis and colorfastness testing before applying tailored cleaning solutions. We remove embedded soils that dull furniture appearance while maintaining fabric integrity. Special attention to delicate materials ensures safe cleaning that revitalizes appearance without compromising fabric structure.
Water Damage Restoration
Our certified team addresses water intrusion issues using moisture detection equipment and professional drying systems. We handle emergency situations from burst pipes to slow leaks, focusing on complete water extraction and mold prevention. The process includes structural drying with industrial equipment while maintaining open communication with insurance adjusters. We identify hidden moisture in drywall and subflooring to prevent long-term damage.
