You know the saying, "you get what you pay for" This is especially true when choosing a carpet & fabric cleaning company. Clean-Rite's prices are in direct proportion to the level of quality service we provide. Most other carpet companies charge sub-standard prices for doing sub-standard work. There are several key reasons to choose our company instead of the "cheap companies"

    "Are the cheap companies invited into homes like this one?"

1. Ultimate cleaning experience : We use the most updated cleaning procedures and equipment recommended by the leading carpet manufacturers and the IICRC to insure outstanding results. We get the carpets cleaner and drier than the "cheap companies" do and your carpets will stay cleaner longer.

2. Quality people: We only hire people who we would send in our own home. All technicians must pass a full background check with no criminal records. They must pass a pre-screen drug and alcohol test and are randomly tested. Technicians are thoroughly trained for 2-3 months before cleaning alone and participate in ongoing training and trade seminars. Our technicians wear white collared company shirts.

3. We care about your home: Our technicians use extra care handling your furniture and household belongings. We are very careful working around wood, marble, glass and other delicate surfaces! We always leave your home in "better condition" than we found it.

4. Cheap companies ruin things: Our new customers consistently tell us horror stories about items that cheap companies have ruined: Carpets were overwet and saturated with lots of soap residue. Colors of area rugs have run together after cleaning. White sofas that have turned yellow after cleaning. Baseboards and walls scraped up, and so on...WITH THIS KIND OF DAMAGE, HAVE YOU REALLY SAVED ANY MONEY ?

   CLEAN-RITE'S "4 Step" CARPET CLEANING PROCEDURE (IICRC STANDARD)

Step 1 • Dry Vacuuming- We start by vacuuming the carpet with a high-powered commercial vacuum. This removes up to 79% of the dry soil (dust, pet hair, pollen, sand, dust mites, etc.) before the carpet is wet! This type of soil is not visible to your eye, but it's there!


Step 2. Detergent Pre-spray- Next we apply a heated detergent to the entire carpet! (not just to the stains and heavy areas). This step loosens embedded soil and stains and is the only time detergent is used.


Step 3. Brushing- Next we lightly brush the heavy walk paths which helps loosen the stubborn ground in soil and stains.


Step 4. Rinse Extraction- Finally, we use a hot "water only" steam rinse with powerful vacuums to remove deep down soil, stains, and most importantly, the
detergent. *We remove 95% of the water and the carpets dry quickly!

Step 5. (optional) Teflon protector- We do recommend applying a quality carpet protector to the carpet immediately after the cleaning. We offer Dupont Teflon which will help resist soil and stains making your carpet easier to clean in the future. We use a quality electric sprayer to apply the Teflon.

              **MOST CHEAPER COMPANIES "1 Step" PROCESS **

Step 1. As many as 70% of other cleaning companies use only "1 step" in their process whereby they mix the soap and water together and clean your carpet the entire time with that mixture (just like rental and do it yourself machines!). They do not use a final "water only" rinse! and they only do the fast and cheap "1 step" ...thats it !!! (some companies will use 2 steps, but both steps still have detergents in them that will leave residues!)

                          ** Four problems with "1 Step" cleaning **

1) If you don't dry vacuum first with a well-maintained commercial vacuum before it is wetted, most of the dry soils are not removed and just come back to the surface as the carpet dries. This is why when cheap companies clean carpets they look o.k. while they are wet but look awful when they dry. Also called "wicking" 

2) If you don't pre-spray the entire carpet and let it dwell for a short time before it is extracted, the detergent does not have time to loosen all of the soil and stains. Thereby doing only a "surface cleaning job!" so much of the soil and stains are not removed. Also, if you don't apply the detergent separately from the cleaning, you can not rinse the detergent out of the carpet with water only later. Detergent residue is the #1 cause of why carpets get dirty again quickly after having them cleaned !

3) The heavily soiled and stained areas of carpet need extra help in order to come as clean as possible. If you don't brush those areas prior to cleaning then the carpets will not come as clean as they could !

4) If you don't rinse out the detergent with a "separate final step" using "water only", then the detergent will be left to dry in the carpet which rapidly attracts dirt and stains, causing your carpet to get dirty twice as fast in the future !! The cheap companies will tell you that this won't happen. They will tell you that their "magical cleaning solution" will not leave a residue, but can you wash your clothes in your washing machine without using the rinse cycle? of course not! then why would you clean a carpet without a final "water-only" rinse ???

"You want to hire a company who is allowed in this type of home!"
