MISCONCEPTION #4 Having the right equipment
is all a company needs for cleaning carpets properly.
Not true. Many companies in the
carpet cleaning field are untrained. This is an unregulated industry so you must be wary of the individuals you allow to come
into your home and the chemicals they may be using.
Certification is important, as is belonging to nationally recognized
associations and attending their educational courses. This shows the consumer that the company values technical training and
continually updating their knowledge of the latest technology, techniques and safest solutions. The best truck mount carpet
cleaning equipment with a untrained carpet cleaner behind it can lead to expensive errors and safety issues, so be certain
to check for verification that the individuals you are allowing into your home are trained.

MISCONCEPTION #3 Only one method
of carpet cleaning is the best.
No. There are multiple methods of cleaning by the IICRC - the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. Depending on the living
situation (a high-rise versus single family home), or the level of soiling, or the method required by your carpet warranty,
or the specific needs of the occupants- it is the professional cleaning technician who is trained to choose the best method
for the results you and your home requires. A thorough Carpet Estimate by a certified technician will present you
with all of your options, and all costs associated with the method they recommend for your floor coverings. Serving Draper,

MISCONCEPTION #2 The only reason to
clean carpets is to get out the dirt.
No. Outdoor air contains pollens, fungus, bacteria,
air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust and hundreds of other chemicals. When you and your family members come into your
home, those pollutants are carried in usually end up in your carpet.
If you have allergies, asthma, emphysema,
or other breathing problems--one major source of your problem could be pollens, fungus, pet dander or urine and chemicals
in your carpet.
So why not tear up the carpet and just have hard surfaces? A study was done in Switzerland where they
tested this theory and actually found symptoms got worse, Why? Because your carpet is a giant filter or "sink" that
traps these pollutants and stops them from entering the environment. Once this sink is full call a quality carpet cleaning
service that uses a truck mount steam cleaner for the best results. Portable carpet cleaning units only get 50% of these pollutants
out when cleaning carpet so when you use this process expect to pay less. So why do we use these portable carpet cleaning
units? Commercial cleaning, high rises, banks (security), restaurants, and anywhere our truck mount carpet cleaning unit can
not get within 100 feet of the building. Max hose length we will use on our truck mount carpet cleaning unit is 350 feet after
that a portable carpet cleaning unit will be more effective. Remember we specialize in carpet repair,

MISCONCEPTION #1 You should wait
as long as possible before cleaning your carpet
No. Sandy soil is an abrasive - like
sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into your carpet fibers. This cuts your carpet, just as if you
had used a knife, causing it to wear out faster. Vacuuming helps, but by itself, its simply not enough. The longer you wait
to have your carpet cleaned, the more damage you do to it. Find a carpet cleaning service that uses truck mount carpet cleaning
equipment or a steam cleaner known to the professionals as hot water extraction.. A carpet cleaner that uses portable equipment
is only getting 50% of the soil that our truck mount carpet cleaning equipment does. Remember we specialize in carpet repair, stretching, pet urine removal and service Cedar Hills, Pleasant Grove, Lindon, Orem, Highland, Alpine, Lehi, American
