Carpet Cleaning Benefits
Carpet cleaning can present many benefits to occupants. The first benefit of having your carpets cleaned by a professional is the fact that odors are removed.

This is used to agitate the carpet fibers and remove any surface stains after a spray solution containing the detergent is applied to the carpet. This method is usually used as an interim method of carpet maintenance, as it results in quicker dry times.
Dry Compound Cleaning

This solution creates a foam on the carpet. The foam is then agitated with a spinning brush. This process loosens dirt from the carpet fibers once complete the foam is left to dry and later vacuumed away. Removing all soil from carpet.
