Reviving the most soiled of carpets
For carpet cleaning we use hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning. Cleaning solutions are injected deep into the carpet at high pressure and are instantly extracted. This method is recommended by leading carpet manufacturers and cleaning experts alike. Dry times are kept to a minimum but can vary from carpet to carpet. Hot water extraction provides the highest quality cleaning.
