Allergen & Pollutant Removing Carpet Cleaning Services

Did you know that carpets pose a serious health risk to children if not well maintained? According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), children are most vulnerable to pollutants that reside in carpets. Since these pollutants sink deep within a carpet’s fibers, professional cleaning is the best way to eliminate them and maintain optimal indoor health. Professional carpet steam cleaning from Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning can protect against health risks such as asthma, allergies, and other respiratory and cardiovascular ailments.

Hot Water Extraction Steam Carpet Cleaning

Molds, dust, pollen and pesticides are uninvited guests that cannot be adequately removed with regular vacuuming. In fact, vacuuming an absolutely filthy carpet can actually make matters worse by causing the release of more contaminants into the air! Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning uses special equipment that firstly contains the bacteria and then secondly extracts it. We use the hot water extraction method, also known as steam cleaning that combines the advanced power of truck mounted cleaning system and an effective hot cleaning solution to remove deep stains, dirt, and other contaminants. Since moisture can attract dust and mold, we apply the proper combination of detergent and moisture to ensure that your carpet is cleaned effectively.

Our Carpet Cleaning Process

Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning treats you right from start to finish so you end up with great looking carpets for a very reasonable price. To help us be able to do the best job possible we do ask you to have some tasks completed before we show up to clean your carpets. Please remove collectibles that are on furniture that we are going to move. Remove any items such as books and shoes that are on the carpet or we won’t be able to clean in those areas. We also ask that you keep both children and pets off the carpets and away from the equipment while we are working.

1. Pre-inspection of Carpet
We initially do this so that both of us know what to expect and so that our highly trained technicians can give you the best estimate based on the square footage of your home or business. We can also take a look at the level of dirt in the carpets and any stains that will require special attention. We give you an upfront estimate of exactly what the cost will be before anything is done.

After we have cleaned your carpets and you have signed off on the work, we ask that you don’t walk on the carpet for the first hour unless you absolutely must. Due to the slippery change from carpet to hard flooring, we want you to make sure you are very careful as you transition.

Rug Cleaning

Our Rug cleaning will bring out your rug’s natural dyes, leave behind a freshly cleaned scent and help to purify your indoor breathing air by removing harmful contaminants. Rug cleaning requires appropriate drying techniques which depend on the rug’s particular fibers. While cleaning of synthetic area rugs is straight forward, cleaning of hand woven natural fiber rugs, like Antique, Oriental and Persian rugs should be left to professionals such as Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning. These rugs are constructed using knotting techniques and as such, these kinds of rug are not machine friendly and must be cleaned with specialized cleaning equipment, techniques and products.

Upholstery Cleaning

Upholstery cleaning is not a one size fits all kind of job. As upholstery comes in all kinds and grades of fibers, each individual upholstered piece must be custom cleaned. Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning begins the process by examining the target cleaning areas and first and foremost letting you know exactly what you can expect. If you like, we are happy to even spot treat a section of your upholstery to give you an idea of what we can achieve. With your permission we will continue on with the application of our pH balanced pre-conditioning solution to aid in the loosening of soil and dirt embedded deep in your upholstery fibers. This soil and dirt is what causes your sofa to lose its beauty and charm. And if you’re not sure exactly what kind of upholstery you have, you can be rest assured that our experts do!

Air Duct Cleaning

Air duct cleaning is essential to the indoor air quality of homes and businesses and has a huge impact on the overall health of you and the people you live and work with. If you are suffering from allergy flu like symptoms and have found no relief, it is time to check your air ducts as they may be making your indoor air much worse by releasing allergens into the indoor air that it would otherwise filter out when working properly.

Having your air ducts professionally cleaned is urgently important because your indoor air quality will continue to deteriorate until it is addressed. In a typical suburban home with multiple rooms, dust is multiplied every day. In fact, one family can produce as much as 40 pounds of dust just by going about their daily activities! When air ducts are dirty; dander, chemicals, and general contaminants get absorbed into the HVAC system which is then circulated several times a day. This results in all the pollutants accumulating and creating a need for your air ducts need to be cleaned out. Allergy sufferers and those suffering from issues such as respiratory health and immune disorders are the most negatively affected by all of these pollutants. In addition, you could save anywhere from 25 to 40% of the energy used in a home HVAC system by having your ducts cleaned as dust and other pathogens cause HVAC systems to exert far more energy than required. Clean air ducts will save you money while keeping you healthy.

Water Extraction & Flood Damage Restoration

Water damage can occur as the result of flooding from indoor moisture sources like washing machines or leaky pipes, from natural occurrences like rain water or from unsanitary sources like sewage or river water. No matter what the source of the flooding water is, the extraction and restoration process is nothing short of a race against time. The first order of business is to extract standing water from the flooded area. If water is removed shortly after the flood, then the potential damage can be contained, both in terms of property loss and in terms of restoration work. The real issue arises in the second stage where we deal with secondary damage. This is when the drying and sanitation phases are addressed. Mold, mildew, and a slew of other bacteria are drawn to moisture so drying the area promptly with industrial size dryers and humidifiers is an essential part of the restoration process. Our cleaning technicians will search the entire area for hidden pockets of water in and around structural supports where moisture can cause serious structural damage.

Tile Cleaning

Is there any house cleaning job more tedious than scrubbing tile and grout on your hands and knees? Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning has the appropriate industrial strength tools to address tile and grout cleaning. While you might spend hours working on cleaning grout lines in your shower wall or kitchen floor, our professionals are trained and certified to use professional equipment which not only cleans your tile and grout but sanitizes it too. Tile and grout are usually placed in areas that receive quite a lot of moisture. This is because it is much easier to dry up tile than carpet or rugs. The problem is that moisture encourages bacteria formation. Though you might not be able to see it due to the porous nature of grout, many microscopic bacteria easily find their way into grout lines. Affordable Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning ensures that your tile and grout is clean and bacteria free. Our services go far beyond simple mopping; we use green technology to guarantee a total clean and also make future cleans easier.
