Our Seven Step Carpet Cleaning Process

1

A professional, courteous, educated and informative technician will provide you with a written, no obligation estimate before we get started on our multi-step cleaning process.

2

Pre-treat all carpeted areas to be cleaned, paying special attention to areas with excessive soil conditions, highly traveled areas and specialty spots.

3

An edging tool is used around doorways and baseboards to remove the embedded, hard to reach debris and soil.

4

Your carpeting is cleaned using a state of the art truck-mounted hot water RX20 extraction cleaning system for excessive soil conditions.

5

If purchased, we will apply a protective coating treatment to your carpets to protect the fibers, aid in preventing future permanent stains and prolong their life. We use a carpet groomer to ensure even application throughout.

6

Our experts block and tab your furniture to protect your carpeting from stains and your furnishings from moisture.

7

We install high-speed air movers to promote faster drying while on site.

Our Five Step Upholstery Cleaning Process

When you entrust American Rug Laundry to clean and restore your furniture and fine fabrics, our professional service technicians take the following steps:

1

Pre-inspects your upholstery, completes a fabric analysis, explains our recommended cleaning procedures, and fully answers all questions, providing a written, no-obligation estimate.

2

Brushes your fabric with a natural fiber brush to remove both loose and ground-in soil and debris.

3

Pre-vacuums to help remove loose contaminants released by the brushing.

4

Pre-conditions fabric, usually by applying a light mist of fine fabric cleaning solution or by hand-application of fine fabric shampoo. This emulsifies, lifts, and suspends embedded soil and debris.

5

Rinses fabrics with a rinsing agent to remove suspended soil, leaving them clean, fresh, and free of any residues.
