Carpet Cleaning

Carpet cleaning does not need to be an endless chore. Utilizing the most advanced steam cleaning methods, Stanley Steemer of South Florida is the name to remember when it comes time to transform a dirty, dingy carpet into a flooring surface that looks as if it has been recently installed.

Carpet cleaning techniques have changed radically over the past decade. The use of highly efficient steam vacuums combined with modern detergent solutions means a cleaner flooring surface, one that homeowners will be proud to show off to their neighbors. In South Florida, residents have come to trust the Stanley Steemer name, primarily because of the expert, rapid service offered, as well as the affordable pricing.

An Advanced Carpet Cleaning Method

Carpet manufacturers favor steam cleaning because of the efficiency with which superheated water can loosen and remove dirt and stains. However, methods used in the past involved a huge discharge of water into the carpet material, resulting in a long wait before the surface was dry.

This is unacceptable to many homeowners. The dry chemical cleaning methods popularized by some cleaning specialists in the 80’s and 90’s proved satisfactory, but this type of carpet maintenance involves the use of chemicals that can actually attract more dirt.

FAQ

A: We recommend that you vacuum the carpeted area that is being cleaned. If you are unable to vacuum beforehand, the technicians can vacuum the carpet if they see fit. If the carpet does not contain a lot of loose dirt and debris, it may not be necessary to vacuum, as the equipment used in the cleaning process also serves as a vacuum.
A: Stanley Steemer does not charge to move furniture. Our technicians will safely move as much furniture as possible and put it back in its rightful spot once the carpet is cleaned. The technicians will leave protective blocks or padding underneath the furniture to allow the carpet to completely dry. Some items we cannot move are: electronics, pianos, china cabinets, beds and dressers with mirrors.
A: Time will vary based on the size of the carpet being cleaned, whether or not we need to move furniture and if the carpet requires spot-removal treatment. However, for an average-sized room that requires minimal spot cleaning and furniture removal, it usually takes about 20 minutes.
A: Yes. After cleaning with our hot water extraction method, we use powerful suction equipment that removes 95% of the moisture. Avoid walking on the carpet barefoot or with shoes that you wear outside, as this is likely to cause the carpet to become soiled or stained. Instead, wear clean rubber-soled shoes or slippers to avoid dirtying your freshly-cleaned carpet.
A: If you want to extend the life of your carpet, you should have it professionally cleaned once a year. This depends on how whether you have pets, asthma or allergies and the size of your family, as larger families will have more foot traffic in their homes and on the carpet.
