Most upholstery can be cleaned in the house using water-based or approved cleaners, especially for W-coded fabrics, as long as you follow proper blotting and drying techniques. However, for stubborn stains, delicate fabrics, or large sectional pieces, many people choose to hire professional cleaners or use a specialized cleaning service to ensure the fabric isn’t damaged.

Both
we clean many in the homes, but if we have to take them out, we charge much more and we flood them.
.50 a square in the house 3.00 -3.50 a square foot if we take them out.

Well Stanley, the companies who have done rug thelongest have a special table and use a chlorine bleach solution. We use bleach or Rx or H2O2or a shampoo. The first three cannot be used safely on most hard floors or broadloom. We do about 50 area rugs a week there big shot. Your "soap" can't do the job thats needed in most cases, guaranteed. |

| Stanley; You seem to flip flop alot. One day you do the next you don't one day you are for the next you are against. One thing you are consistant who ever looks like they know what they are talking about you try to hang onto their shirt tale. Why with a tm and tide would you reccommend sending anything out? Are you not the MASTER STEAMER?? |

I post a lot of things...really I want to see who really knows what they are talking about...I could be on any side...I could be pro...I could be con.. I will say one thing.... I ain't AFRAID TO TELL THE TRUTH... I'm not some dumb carpet cleaning hick....What ever I post here I've looked into...it's tried tested and proved.. Why do you all feel treated by me...I take more attacks than anyone...I don't put down the way you clean...I just tell you what I know to be possible... You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink... Why are you not will to see what I tell you is true..... Yes it's true...I don't like to clean area rugs in the house.....there is more to it than just soap steam and water....most area rugs are not your everyday nylon...most are wool..with fringes...some cost in the 10 thousands...better to send it out for a much better job I'm sorry my post do not conform to the text book... I'm sorry I like to look for alternative soaps, and not named brand But Most of all I'm sorry for all the people that are not open minded to all methods of cleaning and cleaning solution... Don't knock it until you've tried....If you truly haven't tried it then I don't think you have the right to comment until you do ------------- People & Standards You Can Trust |

Regular office carpet cleaning is necessary to protect your team’s health, extend the life of your carpets, and keep your workplace looking sharp and professional. Carpets act like giant filters — trapping dust, allergens, bacteria, spills, and dirt brought in from daily foot traffic. Over time, this buildup reduces indoor air quality, triggers allergies, and creates stubborn stains or odors that make even a well-organized office feel unclean. |
