10-Step Eco-Friendly Carpet Cleaning
Our state-of-the-art truck-mount steam cleaner and purified water system removes the buildup of abrasive soils, bacteria, pet dander, and other contaminants.
Your uniformed tech arrives on time and performs a pre-cleaning inspection with you to evaluate carpet soiling conditions, odor sources, any potential permanent stains, and expected results. We do only the job you ordered — no upsells, hidden costs, or surprises.

We install a temporary door seal around our access door to your home to maintain your indoor temperature and prevent pets from escaping. We also install protective guards and cotton floor covers to protect flooring while we work.
At the technician’s discretion, smaller furnishings, such as chairs and end tables, will be carefully moved out of the way as we clean. Using protective tabs underneath, we replace them when finished.
We apply our patented green pre-cleaner Procyon® to the carpet surface to emulsify and break down embedded soil, spots, and odor sources for a more thorough cleaning.
When necessary, we use a professional carpet groomer to loosen embedded soil and spots on matted walk areas or collapsed pile.
Our water purification system boosts our zero-residue deep rinse process to deliver the best deep cleaning results on even the most heavily soiled and stained carpets. It even removes harmful toxic residues left behind by the last carpet cleaner. Every carpet we clean is left pH-balanced to ensure no sticky residue is left behind. This leaves your carpet feeling softer and smelling fresh when dry.

Carpet cleaning alone at any temperature does not kill or remove all bacteria, allergens, mold, or other contaminants. Improper carpet cleaning is known to cause health problems in people and pets. That’s why on every carpet we clean, we apply a liberal post-cleaning application of our eco-friendly bio-disinfectant and green deodorizer to ensure a complete deep clean, total bacteria and allergen kill, and odor elimination.

We then liberally apply our Green Guard soil encapsulating stain protector. This enhances vacuuming between cleanings, protects against permanent stains, helps keep your carpet cleaner longer, and lengthens your carpet’s life.
Once the carpets have been thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, deodorized, and protected, we use a professional pile groomer to raise the carpet pile, as needed.
Finally, our technician walks through your home or business with you to discuss the results. We provide you with waterproof shoe covers, an aftercare cleaning and spotting guide, and a complimentary bottle of our Home Pro Green Carpet Stain Remover for any “uh-oh” moments between professional carpet cleanings.

*Please Note: Your carpet will not be soaking wet. It will be damp to the touch. Dry time is approximately 4-6 hours except when treated for pet stains and odors. Pet treatments may take several days to completely dry as the products continue to work.
Add-On Professional Residential Carpet Cleaning Services
- Pet Urine/Vomit/Fecal/Unknown Odors/Stains: Odors and stains of a known or unknown origin — whether of a human, animal, or environmental origin — will be assessed during service. We will perform a forensic UV light inspection during your walk-through to determine if treatments outside of our 10-Step Cleaning process are required; if so, we will apply additional charges determined by how much product, time, and labor is needed to remedy the issue.
- Restoration Cleaning: Blackened walk areas and excessive staining require more time and products, and this will incur an additional cost. While every attempt is made to fully remove stains, certain stains may wick back up after drying.
- Setup Fee: If your home or business is an extended distance from where the truck-mounted equipment is set up, you may be subject to an additional charge of $75. This includes but is not limited to apartments/condos on the third floor or higher of the building; townhomes or properties that sit farther than 150 feet from parking/truck setup; and locations requiring our truck to be set up and moved two or more times at the same location.

FAQs
To clean carpets, we use a truck-mounted hot water extraction (steam cleaning) method. This ensures the most thorough spot and dirt removal from your carpets. Using a specially designed water purifier on our trucks, the hot water works with the eco-friendly pre-spray to lift the toughest stains and deepest dirt. Then, using the truck’s engine to power it, we suction out the dirt, allergens, and 95% of the moisture.
Truck-mounted steam cleaning is the only cleaning method recommended by carpet manufacturers and approved to keep your carpet warranty intact.
We charge by the number of areas to be cleaned, including rooms, hallways, and staircases. Our all-inclusive pricing includes the following: our 10-step cleaning, disinfecting, deodorizing, and stain protection process, and a bottle of our Home Pro Spotter, for easy spot removal in between professional cleanings. We are upfront about our pricing from the beginning to the end. There are no hidden fees or up-selling.
These stains are commonly referred to as filtration or draft stains. They are caused by the dirt and dust settling around the edges of a room where there is little to no traffic. We will do our best to remove them fully during the first cleaning. However, depending on the severity and length of time between professional cleanings, they may not be fully removed. At a minimum, these stains will be lessened in appearance and will continue to lift after each professional cleaning.
We cannot guarantee that all spots or stains will be removed from your carpets. Some substances, such as bleach, red dyes, and oil, can permanently discolor carpet fibers. Other factors can affect stain removal, such as age and material of the carpet, age of the stain, products used to clean the stain previously, and source of the stain. During the initial walkthrough, our technician will try to determine the likelihood of specific spot removal and let you know the expected outcome. Most spots do come out with our carpet cleaning process, but if some do not, their appearance will at least be lessened.
Although we do our best to remove most spots from the carpet, sometimes you may notice spots reappearing during the drying process. This is referred to as wicking; this happens when a substance is removed from the carpet pile but comes up from the carpet backing as it dries. Unfortunately, since we cannot see through to the carpet backing and pad, we cannot guarantee this will not happen.
