Is There Any Reason why you shouldn't have the cleanest carpet in town?
Hi my name is Miguel, and I'm the owner of Custom Cleaning & Restoration. Over the last 25 years, I've had the privilege of helping over thousands of your friends and neighbors get the most sparkling carpets and rugs they've ever seen. In fact, many tell me they love taking their shoes off and rubbing their toes in the soft, fluffy carpet after they get the most thorough cleaning ever (which we guarantee to give you...or our service is free)!
Many of my new clients have told me they were sick of the "cheap, top surface only cleaning" their carpets were getting from other cleaning companies. I am constantly seeing and hearing the results of these un-educated cleaners.
Don't be a victim of these un-ethical cleaners!
They use harsh, cheap, and even dangerous cleaning agents (leaving toxic amounts of chemical residue in your home.) Some of these residues are not even safe for your pets much less your children. The chemicals that these un-educated cleaners use are so harsh that they strip the life from the carpet fibers adding years to the wear age. Plus these cleaners don't even pull out all the embedded soil debris that ends up at the lower part of your fibers which will cause your carpet to wear faster. This means you're going to need to replace your carpets sooner (big bucks!)...and that your home won't be as healthy. These type of cleaners are untrained, unethical, and downright unscrupulous cleaners. So not only will you pay more in the long run by going with "cheap cleaners" ... you won't be enjoying all the benefits of a great looking carpet, and a safe HEALTHY home.
Clients of mine say they feel healthier after we clean their carpets!
I'm not only dedicated to giving your carpets, rugs, Upholstery, Tile & Grout the most thorough cleaning ever...

Carpet Cleaning:
Carpet cleaning, for beautification, and removal of stains, dirt, grit, sand, and allergens, is achieved by several methods, both traditional and modern. Clean carpets are recognized by manufacturers as being more visually pleasing, potentially longer-lasting and probably healthier than poorly maintained carpets.
The professional carpet cleaning industry is primarily educated and unofficially governed by The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC). It is a nonprofit certifying body for the specialized fabric cleaning industry that sets modern carpet cleaning standards. It accepts five basic professional cleaning methodologies.
Currently, Steam Cleaning (a.k.a. Hot Water Extraction) is the most popular and widely accepted process, the other methods also have their merits. Carpet cleaning chemical manufacturers have spent the last 20 years+ creating new carpet care technologies. Particularly, Encapsulation dry-cleaning and Green based chemicals have been the talk of the carpet cleaning industry for the last few years. Below are the different methods that are available.

Particularly, Encapsulation dry-cleaning and Green based chemicals have been the talk of the carpet cleaning industry for the last few years. Below are the different methods that are available.
Steam Cleaning:
Steam Cleaning or hot water extraction initially involves the application of a detergent based solution. After appropriate dwell time, a pressurized manual or automatic cleaning tool (aka wand) passes over the surface several times to thoroughly rinse out all residue and particulates.
Heavily soiled areas require the application of pretreatments, preconditioners, or "traffic-lane cleaners", which are detergents or emulsifiers that break the binding of soils to carpet fibers over a short period of time, are commonly sprayed onto carpet prior to the primary use of the dry-cleaning system. One chemical dissolves the greasy films that bind soils and prevent effective soil removal by vacuuming. The solution may add a solvent like d-limonene, petroleum byproducts, glycol ethers, or butyl agents. The amount of time the pretreatment "dwells" in the carpet should be less than 15 minutes, due to the thorough carpet brushing common to these "very low moisture" systems, which provides added agitation to ensure the pretreatment works fully through the carpet.
The newest steam cleaning technology, patented to Zerorez Corporation, utilizes no soap, detergent, or solvent, rather the cleaning solution is created from water which is modified into a softened, high pH alkaline water. The water is heated to about 200 degrees, and extraction is accomplished with a traditional carpet wand. The high alkalinity works as a degreaser and cleaner, and the pH level returns to neutral within one or two hours, resulting in a cleaned carpet without any soap or detergent residue.
Post extraction is by far the most important step in the hot water extraction process. Since the hot water extraction method uses much more water than other methods like bonnet or shampoo cleaning, proper post extraction is critical to avoid over saturation. When carpet is saturated there is a risk that soils and residue from deep in the carpet fiber and backing will wick up to the surface resulting in browning.

Dry Carpet Cleaning:
Many dry carpet cleaning systems rely on specialized machines; Dry carpet cleaning machines include those manufactured by Brush and Clean, Host Dry, and Whittaker System. Dry carpet cleaning systems are mostly technically "very low moisture" (VLM) systems, relying on dry compounds complemented by application cleaning solutions, and are growing significantly in market share due in part to their very rapid drying time, a significant factor for 24-hour commercial installations. Dry-cleaning and "very low moisture" systems are also often faster and less labor-intensive than wet-extraction systems.
An absorbent, biodegradable powder and cleaning compound may be spread evenly over carpet and brushed or scrubbed in. For small areas, a household hand brush can work such a compound into carpet pile; dirt and grime is attracted to the compound, which is then vacuumed off, leaving carpet immediately clean and dry. For commercial applications, a specially designed cylindrical counter-rotating brushing system is used, without a vacuum cleaner. Machine scrubbing is more typical, in that hand scrubbing generally cleans only the top third of carpet.
In the 1990s, new polymers began literally encapsulating (crystallizing) soil particles into dry residues on contact, in a process now regarded by the industry as a growing, up-and-coming technology; working like "tiny sponges", the deep-cleaning compound crystals dissolve and absorb dirt prior to its removal from the carpet. Cleaning solution is applied by rotary machine, brush applicator, or compression sprayer. Dry residue is vacuumable immediately, either separately or from a built-in unit of the cleaning system machine. According to ICS Cleaning Specialist, evidence suggests encapsulation improves carpet appearance, compared to other systems; and it is favorable in terms of high-traffic needs, operator training, equipment expense, and lack of wet residue. Encapsulation also avoids the drying time of carpet shampoos, making the carpet immediately available for use.
The use of encapsulation to create a crystalline residue that can be immediately vacuumed (as opposed to the dry powder residue of wet-cleaning systems, which generally requires an additional day before vacuuming) has recently become an accepted method for commercial and residential carpet maintenance. After club soda mixed with cleaning product is deposited onto the surface as mist, a round buffer or "bonnet" scrubs the mixture with rotating motion. This industry machine resembles a floor buffer, with an absorbent spin pad that attracts soil and is rinsed or replaced repeatedly. The bonnet method is not strictly dry-cleaning and involves significant drying time, and usually only addresses the top third of carpet, making it a quick solution rather than a deep cleaning of dirt or odor as considered suitable for valuable carpet. To reduce pile distortion, the absorbent pad should be kept well-lubricated with cleaning solution.
Wet shampoo cleaning with rotary machines, followed by thorough wet vacuuming, was widespread until about the 1970s, but industry perception of shampoo cleaning changed with the advent of encapsulation. Hot water extraction, also regarded as preferable, had not been introduced either. Wet shampoos were once formulated from coconut oil soaps; wet shampoo residues can be foamy or sticky, and steam cleaning often reveals dirt unextracted by shampoos. Since no rinse is performed, the powerful residue can continue to collect dirt after cleaning, leading to the misconception that carpet cleaning can lead to the carpet getting "dirtier faster" after the cleaning. When wet shampoo chemistry standards converted from coconut oil soaps to synthetic detergents as a base, the shampoos dried to a powder, and loosened dirt would attach to the powder components, requiring vacuuming by the consumer the day after cleaning.

Household Carpet Cleaning Processes:
Other household carpet cleaning processes are much older than industry standardization, and have varying degrees of effectiveness as supplements to the more thorough cleaning methods accepted in the industry. Vacuum cleaners use air pumps to create partial vacuums to suck up dust and dirt, usually from floors and carpets. Filtering systems or cyclones collect dirt for later disposal. Models include upright (dirty-air and clean-air), canister and backpack, wet-dry and pneumatic, and other varieties. Robotic vacuum cleaners have recently become viable as well.
Vacuum cleaner manufacturers are widespread and include Aerus LLC, Bissell Carpet Sweepers, Black & Decker DustBuster, Dirt Devil, Dyson, Electrolux, Eureka, Goblin Vacuum Cleaners, the Hoover Company, the Kirby Company, Nilfisk-Advance, Numatic International Limited, the Oreck Corporation, Regina Vacuum Cleaners, Rexair LLC, Samsung Electronics, Sebo Vacuum Cleaners, Tacony Corporation, Vax Vacuum Cleaner Ranges, Vorwerk, Wertheim Vacuum Cleaners.
Tea leaves and cut grass were formerly common for floor cleaning, to collect dust from carpets, albeit with risks of stains. Ink was removed with lemon, or with oxalic acid and hartshorn; oil with white bread, or with pipe clay; grease fats with turpentine; ox gall and naphtha were also general cleaners. Ammonia and chloroform were recommended for acid discoloration. Benzine and alum were suggested for removing insects; diatomaceous earth and material similar to cat litter are still common for removing infestations.
It can to be said that some traditional methods of stain removal can remain successful in removing stains. In a society where we are 'mostly' aware that reducing our carbon footprint can have eco friendly beneficial consequences to the environment. Fortunately there are eco friendly products accessible to the professional carpet and upholstery cleaner that provide solutions other than harsh chemical methods alone. I am relunctant to name products, however I can confirm that we as a company serve many clients with such a product that has been well researched. Such products work well with anti-allergen treatments that will kill house dust mites (sometimes referred to by allergists as HDM). Dust mites cause respiratory conditions and ill health. Whatever method of stain removal or anti-allergen treatment is decided the decision should be left with the individual. Quite rightly stains that are treated quickly will have a greater chance of removal. However a badly treated stain can become a permanent stain and caution should be addressed when treating natural fibers such as wool that may react differently to different treatments.
When dealing with stains time is a factor. The longer the stain material remains in the carpet the higher the chance of a permanent color change, even if all the original stain material is removed. Immediately blotting (not rubbing) the stain material as soon as possible will help reduce the chances of a permanent color change. Carpet rods, rattan rugbeaters, and carpet-beating machines for beating out dust, and also brooms, brushes, dustpans, and shaking and hanging were all carpet-cleaning methods of the 19th century; brooms particularly carry risks of wear. The concept that walking barefoot on a carpet may lead to damage from body oils has not been supported or disproven by standardized reports or testing or by industry evidence.
