Questions and Answers
How does your carpet cleaning method differ from traditional steam cleaning?
We use a proprietary Hot Carbonating Extraction process that requires 80% less water than steam cleaning. This means your carpets dry in a few hours instead of a day, and the non-toxic solution removes 98% of common allergens like pet dander and dust mite matter. It’s safe for kids and pets to walk on as soon as it’s dry.
What should I do if I have water damage from a burst pipe or water heater leak in my San Jose home?
First, turn off the water source and call us immediately. We have advanced IICRC certifications in complete structural drying and hold a General Contracting License, so we can extract standing water, dry the affected areas, and handle any necessary repairs. We serve homes across San Jose, including areas near Santana Row and the Alameda, and respond quickly to prevent mold and further damage.
Do you clean area rugs and upholstery, and is the cleaning process the same as for carpets?
Yes, we clean area rugs and upholstery using the same gentle, low-moisture method that’s safe for fabrics. For area rugs, we can either clean them in your home or at our facility, depending on the size and material. Upholstery cleaning removes allergens and dirt without soaking the cushions, so they dry faster and stay fresh longer.
