We charge on a square foot basis ($0.50/sqft) and per step on stairs ($5/ea) only charging for the areas we clean. If you do not want furniture moved, we measure around it and only charge for the exposed areas. This rate includes everything we do in our 10-step cleaning process from pre-vacuuming to setting up air movers to start the drying.
Certain care procedures are recommended for enhancing the beauty of your carpet so that it provides years of service. A proper care plan is divided into preventive care, daily care and regular cleaning.
Preventive Care:
Includes anything attempted to reduce the amount of soil brought into a home. Eighty percent of the soil brought into a home is tracked in on the soles of shoes. Entry mats are one example of a preventative care measure.
Daily Care:
Includes spot removal and vacuum cleaning. Carpet should be vacuumed a minimum of twice weekly. Traffic lanes and areas near exterior doors should be vacuumed daily with multiple vacuum passes. These areas are where the bulk of household soil is trapped. Vacuuming is by far the most important activity that can be performed, but it is rarely performed frequently enough or with the type of zeal necessary to effectively remove soil. This makes regular cleaning by a professional the next important step in maintaining your investment.
Regular Cleaning:
All residential carpet should be cleaned a minimum of every 12 to 18 months. Consult the carpet manufacture to determine the recommended cleaning schedule.
Carpet Protectors:
These are chemicals used to coat the carpet fibers to repel water, oil and soil. They provide better cleaning both during regular cleaning as well as spot removal. Most new carpets come pre-treated with carpet protectors but you might have to reapply the protector after 2-4 years of usage in high traffic areas and every couple of years thereafter.
Carpet protection helps to minimize oily and dry base soils from adhering to the carpet fiber. Carpets treated with protector are not only more stain resistant. They are easier to clean and look cleaner longer (they last longer too!). Keeping your carpet protected will save you your harder dollars in the long run.
If anyone in your home or office has breathing difficulties, such as asthma, allergies, or emphysema it’s a good idea to regularly clean your ducts. Also, before moving into a new or preowned home, whenever you notice discolored areas around your vents, when you notice excessive dust on your furniture, if unusual odors are present when the furnace or air-conditioning is running, after a fire, water, loss or flooding and after remodeling or construction it is a good time to clean your ducts. Beyond that, general/maintenance cleaning is recommended every 3-5 years.
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems have been shown to act as a collection source for a variety of contaminants that have the potential to affect health such as mold, fungi, bacteria, and very small particles of dust and debris. The removal of such contaminants from the HVAC system, and home should be considered as one component in an overall plan to improve indoor air quality.
