Carpet Cleaning
Right chemistry on the right fiber. Stains don't wick back, dry-time matches your calendar, and the backing doesn't grow what shouldn't grow.
What goes wrong when it's half-done.
Carpet doesn't fail because of dirt. It fails because the wrong solution sits in the fiber too long, or the dry-down didn't happen and mold colonized the backing. A real carpet program matches the chemistry to the soil, the method to the calendar, and the dry-time to the way the building actually opens the next morning.
Four operational principles, written into the route plan.
Pre-treatment matched to the soil and fiber
Spot dwell time honored, not skipped
Air movers staged so the room is walkable on schedule
Before/after photo packet on completion
What's included
- Pre-vacuum and inspection
- Spot pre-treatment
- Hot-water extraction or low-moisture pass
- Traffic-lane focus
- Air-mover dry-down
What's not included
We name the line items we won't quietly run past you.
- Carpet repair or stretching
- Replacement
- Subfloor remediation after water damage
Specific tools. Documented chemistry. Operator credibility through specificity.
Equipment
- Truck-mount extraction at 220°F+ wand temp (faster soil release, faster dry)
- Encapsulation rotaries for low-moisture passes when the building can't go down for hours
- Carpet rakes for traffic-lane grooming after extraction
- Spotter kits with separate solutions for protein, tannin, oil, and ink — not one bottle for everything
Chemistry & approach
Soil source drives the method. Same square foot, different chemistry, different labor.
- Coffee, tea, soda (tannin)
- Tannin spotter, neutralize, rinse-extract. Heat helps.
- Blood, food (protein)
- Cold-water enzyme treatment first — heat sets protein into the fiber.
- Oil, grease, makeup
- Solvent spotter, dwell time, hot extraction.
- Pet urine
- Hydrogen-peroxide enzyme application with subsurface extraction. Black-light verify.
When to add this to a recurring program
Cadence options we run for Carpet: Quarterly, Semi-annual, Annual, Project. We'll sequence it inside your existing program so the building doesn't see a second crew.
Photo packet, escalation log, monthly report.
The artifact trail your auditor, your tenant, and your CFO can all read.
Date, address, scope completed, eight to twelve annotated photos, tech sign-off — emailed before you walk in.
Anything flagged on a visit gets logged and routed to a named lead. You see the open tickets, not the silence around them.
Photo-verified service, escalation log, scope adherence, consumables — one PDF, every site, every month.
A real number after a 15-minute walk.
We bid carpet from a walkthrough, not a square-footage table. Pricing reflects the building's risk profile, the crew tier, and the cadence. We'll quote a real number after a 15-minute site visit and never raise it mid-contract without 60 days written notice.
Annual review, written 60 days in advance, capped at CPI for renewals. No mid-contract surprises.

Carpet Cleaning, on a documented program.
Send us your scope and we'll send a real number back. Or book a 15-minute walkthrough — we bring a notepad and a camera, not a sales deck.
