Carpet Cleaning Service
Our process is probably quite different from anything you have experienced before. We describe our process on THIS linked page.
If you live in Chesapeake, Norfolk, or Virginia Beach, VA., you are in our primary service area. We also serve Suffolk, Portsmouth, and Hampton, VA., but scheduling is more restrictive (a consequence of longer transit times from our Virginia Beach, VA base.)
Your carpets are expensive. Getting the most out of your carpet also means extending its appearance life. Frequent vacuuming, prompt spot removal, regular. professional cleaning, and the timely application of a quality carpet protector such as Dupont Teflon Advanced® will prolong the life of your investment. Your carpet should be vacuumed once or twice each week, and professional cleaning should take place before the carpet has visible soil.
The IICRC created this chart as a guide for how often to clean your carpets
IICRC S100 STANDARD AND REFERENCE GUIDE FOR PROFESSIONAL CARPET CLEANING
The following chart from the IICRC S100 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Carpet Cleaning serves as a guideline for recommending cleaning frequencies for carpet. They consider traffic, soil rating, vacuuming schedules, spot cleaning schedules, and professional interim and restorative cleaning.
