Important Carpet Cleaning Steps for Jefferson City!
What Are the Most Important Steps in
Cleaning Your Carpets and Floors
Most cleaners skip these important steps. Make sure your carpet is cleaned properly.
Step 1: Pre-Inspection
We walk through the job with you and inspect your carpet. We also give tips on how you can help your carpet last longer.
Step 2: Dry-Soil Removal
Up to 85% of soil in a textile is dry particulate soil that has bonded to the surface of the fabric. Household vacuum cleaners don’t always remove all of the dry soil. If not completely removed, it may wick back upon drying. So vacuum regularly and right before the cleaners come, or ask them to do it.(fee may apply)
Step3: Furniture Moving
Find out what furniture is recommended to be moved and what is included under the regular pricing structure and what stays in place.
Step 4: Pre-Conditioning Traffic Areas
In this step, a solution is applied that loosens the soil and spots for more effective removal. (We scrub your carpet, to see our unique system give us a call)
Step 5: Pre-Treat Spots
Some spots require special solutions and special care for complete removal and to avoid setting the stain.
Step 6: Pre-Grooming
The carpet or upholstery pile is now gently massaged to further loosen the soils so that aggressive, harmful cleaning is not needed.
Step 7: Extraction
Now that the soil has been properly suspended, it can be extracted without over-wetting or leaving a sticky residue behind.
Step 8: Neutralizing
Another common problem is that some carpet cleaners don’t neutralize the carpet. Not balancing the pH can cause the carpet to be stiff and attract dirt like a magnet.
Step 9: Specialty Spotting
Stubborn stains sometimes require specialty stain removal processes. Because many cleaners do not train themselves, they do not know about these processes. Those who do sometimes gouge customers to use these processes because they offer a low price they intend not to keep.
Step 10: Post Grooming
The pile of the carpet or upholstery should then be finished so that it dries and cures in the proper direction.
Step 11: Speed Dry
Proper drying should be insured with high velocity air movers. (As needed)
Step 12: Post Inspection
A thorough walk through should be done to insure that you are completely satisfied with your cleaning job.
WARNING: Untrained Carpet Cleaners Use 1 to 3 of These Important Steps, Over-Wet Your Carpet and Upholstery and Leaving a Sticky Residue Behind.

I been in the cleaning business since 1991 and not to many cleaners use all these steps. Its very important for the the final out come of the carpet but also as important to make sure the customers understand the difference. So as a industry the price we charge should based on what we do not on what some guy standing on a corner charge $85 for a whole house.
