Carpet Cleaning Packages

In all cases where practical, our technicians use the Rotovac 360 for the ultimate in power extraction carpet steam cleaning. Unlike traditional carpet cleaning companies who rely solely on a steel mechanical wand, we utilize the Rotary Jet ExtractionTM of the Rotovac 360 which thoroughly cleans the carpet fiber from all directions to produce superior carpet cleaning results… every time!

In addition to the Rotovac 360 we incorporate the Rotovac Spray Crevice Tool for optimum cleaning results around carpet edges and baseboards.
Many carpet cleaners neglect to use crevice tools in an attempt to save time and increase profits. At Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care we take the extra time to do the job right the first time.

Light furniture, coffee and end tables will be moved free of charge. Large pieces of furniture such as china cabinets, entertainment centers, pianos, etc. or electronic equipment of any kind must be moved by the customer prior to cleaning or our technicians can work around them.

Due to the high quality of equipment and chemicals we use, coupled with the power of our truck mounted equipment, over 95% of all stains are removed during the cleaning process. Difficult stains that can not be removed without specialty chemical mixtures and man hours will be pointed out to the customer in advance and will require an additional charge.

Professional carpet cleaners will be happy to discuss carpet cleaning methods with you and explain each step in their process.

1. Preconditioning Step: During preconditioning a chemical designed to emulsify, saponify, and suspend the oxidized oils and soils is applied to the carpet. Mechanical agitation must be applied either by a grooming rake or carpet brush. Note: The chemist definition defines saponify as to hydrolyze lipids into an acid and alcohol as a result of being treated with an alkali. ie. use chemistry to convert grease and oils into soap. Carpet cleaners who use cheap or inferior pre-conditioners on customers carpets are unable to thoroughly break down spots, oils and ground in grime.
    
2. Extraction: The oils and soils oxidized, emulsified, saponified, and suspended by the preconditioning step can now be extracted with the equipment. The use of a detergent during this step of the carpet cleaning process ensures the removal of the oils, soils, and preconditioning chemicals. Some carpet cleaners fail to use detergent in the extraction process and settle for straight water as a cost saving measure. At Tru-Clean Carpet & Tile Care we NEVER sacrifice quality in an attempt to bolster profits and we utilize Bridgepoint pre-spray's and detergent on each and every carpet we clean.
    
3. Fabric Softening Neutralizing Step: This is the step in the carpet cleaning process where the neutralizer is applied to the carpet. Agitation is again required either by a grooming rake or a carpet brush to ensure even distribution of the neutralizer which leaves the carpet pH balanced, soft to the touch, and ensures color fastness.
    
4. Re-application of Stain Protection: Even though the pile fibers of today's carpet have been designed to be stain resistant much of that stain resisting ability is removed by the deep cleaning of hot water extraction. Stain protection must be reapplied after every carpet cleaning in order to ensure the carpets stain resistant ability and maintain manufacturers' warranties.
