Our 12-Step Carpet Cleaning Process

1. Pre-Inspection

Our technicians will walk through your home with you to visually inspect the carpet. They will identify potential permanent stains and give you an evaluation of expected results, as well as listen to any concerns you may have. 

2. Commercial Pre-vacuum

Dry soil is removed by thoroughly commercial power vacuuming. Removing dry soil is one of the most vitally crucial steps in any cleaning process.

3. Furniture Moving

Our regular pricing includes moving basic furniture and smaller items. Beds, dressers, and heavier pieces cost extra to move. One of our consultants can quote the exact cost to move any heavier pieces.

4. Pre-Spray

A preconditioning agent is applied to dissolve and break down traffic area soil and general spots for a more thorough cleaning. 

5. Pre-Spot

Difficult spots are pre-treated with special solutions to increase the chances of removal. 

6. Pre-Grooming/ Agitation 

A professional carpet groomer or rotary brush is further used to loosen the soil.

7. Soil Extraction and Rinse

The carpet is then thoroughly rinsed using a powerful extraction cleaning system without overwetting the carpet or leaving a sticky residue behind. 

8. Neutralizer

Every carpet that we clean is pH balanced afterward so that there is no sticky residue left behind. This also leaves your carpet soft and fresh. 

9. Post Spot

Any spots or stains still remaining will get extra treatment with our many specialty spotting solutions. 

10. Post Groom

Your carpet is groomed with a professional groomer, so the pile of your carpet is standing tall when we leave. Post grooming helps the carpet pile dry faster and in the right position. 

11. Speed dry

High-velocity air movers are placed on the carpet immediately after cleaning to promote faster drying.

12. Post Cleaning Inspection

Our technicians will walk through your home with you to point out the cleaning results to ensure that you are completely thrilled with the job.

 FAQs

  • How Do We Maintain Our Carpets Between Professional Cleanings?

    We recommend vacuuming at least once a week, addressing spills immediately with a mild detergent and blotting (rather than rubbing), and keeping shoes off carpeted areas when possible. Regular light care helps prolong the time between professional cleanings and keeps your space looking fresh until our next visit for carpet cleaning service near Potomac, Rockville, and Bethesda, MD.

  • What Can We Expect During a Professional Carpet Cleaning Visit?

    When we arrive, we’ll inspect your carpet for areas of concern, protect nearby furniture and zones, apply the appropriate cleaning method, rinse thoroughly, and begin extraction. Then we’ll walk you through care tips and estimated drying time. With our carpet cleaning service near Potomac, Rockville, and Bethesda, MD, we aim for minimal disruption and maximum results.

  • Are We Equipped to Handle Pet Stains and Odors?

    Yes. We have trained technicians and specialized equipment to tackle pet accidents and odor removal. Our process includes identifying underlying damage, treating stains and odors thoroughly, and ensuring your carpet is refreshed. If you’re looking for a carpet and rug cleaning service near Potomac, Rockville, and Bethesda, MD, that handles pets, we’ve got you covered.

  • How Often Should We Have Professional Cleaning Done?

    For most homes, a professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months is ideal, though high-traffic areas or homes with pets may benefit from cleaner visits every 6 to 12 months. Our local carpet cleaning service near Potomac, Rockville, and Bethesda, MD, can tailor a schedule based on your usage and carpet type to optimize appearance and lifespan.

    Richard and his company did a terrific job stretching and shampooing all the carpet in our house prior to listing it for sale. It looks fantastic! Richard was a dream to work with — very reasonable prices and very responsive. I would highly recommend him.

    They are wonderful. They did my whole house and it looks great. Some pet stains didn't come out so they came back to treat with something different.  Very knowledgeable and courteous.  I've been using them for years.
