THE CERTACLEAN DIFFERENCE
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROFESSIONAL Carpet CLEANING SERVICES
Many homeowners don’t realize that carpets serve as filters in the home, trapping dead skin cells, body oils, pet dander, odors, household allergens, dust, dirt, and other contaminants. When carpets aren’t cleaned regularly, these particles build up, compromising indoor air quality and potentially leading to health issues. Maintaining clean carpets is essential for promoting a healthy living environment.
Regular carpet cleanings significantly extend the life of your investment. When dirt and grime accumulate, carpet fibers weaken as each step becomes an abrasive action against the fibers. This leads to premature wear and damage. Professional cleaning can restore the original color and texture of your carpets. We recommend a thorough cleaning at least once a year, depending on usage and living conditions, to maintain their longevity and appearance.

Five Star Carpet Cleaning Process
Our carpet cleaning process has been perfected over the years through continuous education, research, and hands-on experience. Our primary method for residential carpet cleaning is hot water extraction (steam cleaning), which provides deep, effective results. However, we also offer low-moisture bonnet cleaning for situations where steam cleaning isn’t feasible, such as in high-rise apartments or condos.
Residential Carpet Cleaning
INSPECTION
Upon arrival, we’ll begin with a thorough walk-through of the areas to be cleaned. During this time, we’ll ask a few questions and gladly answer any concerns or inquiries you may have. If there are areas that need special attention, this is a great time to point them out. If you’re aware of the cause of any spots or stains, sharing that information will help us treat them more effectively. After the inspection, we’ll provide a clear, final price before any work begins. With us, you can expect transparent pricing, no high-pressure sales tactics, no hidden fees or bait and switch practices.
Vacuuming
We recommend vacuuming your carpet before our arrival. However, we will also vacuum the carpet as our first step, regardless of if you were able to or not. Carpet cannot be vacuumed “enough”! Regular vacuuming helps prevent dirt buildup that can wear down the fibers through abrasion. So by vacuuming first, we ensure we remove as much dry particulate soil as possible. This allows our cleaning solutions to work more effectively, breaking down the remaining soils that have bonded to your carpet fibers for a deeper, more thorough clean.
Spotting
Next, we’ll carefully treat any tough spots or stains using our spotting agents. We have a high success rate in removing common stains like soda spills, grease, oil, paint, Kool-Aid, wine, and other typical carpet mishaps. After that, we’ll apply our soap-free carpet cleaning solution to the high-traffic areas and walkways. *Note: If you’ve used any store-bought products to try and remove stains, please inform our technician. It may affect the way we approach the spot or stain for the best possible outcome.
Steam Cleaning
Our fourth step is to rinse the carpet using our powerful truck-mounted equipment. Our carpet cleaning machine produces water temperatures over 200 degrees, effectively breaking down stubborn soils and contaminates in the carpet. The cleaning tool immediately extracts the loosened dirt and cleaning solution, sending it to a holding tank in our vehicle, leaving no residue behind! We then perform “dry strokes” to remove as much excess moisture as possible. If your carpets are heavily soiled or contain pet hair buildup, we’ll use our counter-rotating brush machines to mechanically scrub the fibers before rinsing, ensuring the deepest, most thorough clean possible.
Speed Dry
After the steam cleaning step, we place floor fans in the cleaned areas to speed up the drying process, allowing you to use the areas sooner. Until the carpet is fully dry, we recommend using caution when transitioning from damp carpet to hard surface floors such as tile or wood, as it may be slippery. Typically, carpets dry within 3-6 hours, but on rainy days or in high-humidity conditions, the drying time may be extended.
Groom & Protect
If you have opted for carpet protection after your cleaning, this is when we’ll apply the protector and carefully groom it into the fibers. Please allow for some additional drying time, as the product needs to air dry to ensure proper adhesion to the carpet fibers for maximum effectiveness.

Maintaining a carpet can be difficult. Here are some practical tips to help you keep them clean:
Regularly vacuum your carpets to remove dry particulates and solid debris. Daily vacuuming is ideal, but a minimum of weekly vacuuming is highly recommended.
Avoid wearing shoes indoors. This is to minimize the amount of dirt and debris brought inside.
We strongly discourage our customers from using store-bought carpet cleaners. Different carpet materials require different cleaning methods. Count on a professional to make these decisions for you.
