Missouri Carpet Cleaning Service

When Quality Counts… Is that a spot or a stain on my carpet?

A spot is a discoloration from a dissolvable (or removable) substance that is lying on or adhering to your carpet fiber, but has not affected the fiber or dye. While a stain is a discoloration from any substance that has adversely (sometimes permanently) affected the fiber or dye.

Affordable Clean Carpet Service preconditions all of the carpet and extracts the water and contaminants using a neutralizing fiber rinse. Just like washing laundry you wouldn’t skip the rinse cycle would you? So you wouldn’t want to skip that when having your carpets cleaned! We include general preconditioning and disinfectant and finish with a fiber rinse. Our aim in cleaning your carpets is to restore it as close to its original condition as possible. Our cleaning methods include a pretreatment, spotting and steam cleaning. If there are heavy traffic lanes or areas that need extra attention, we will scrub to ensure the best carpet cleaning possible. (Scrubbing is an additional charge).

This step is most important to a leaving your carpets clean. Regardless if carpet is only slightly dirty or has not been cleaned for many years, pre-conditioning your carpet is extremely beneficial because we apply solutions that will break down carpet dirt and stains.

Full Carpet Cleaning

During this process, we primarily use commercial water / cleaning solution application and extraction. Our expert technicians will continue this process until they are satisfied that your carpet is thoroughly clean.

Rinsing & Disinfectant

This is a critical step because it serves two purposes –removal of the dirt, stains and odors from your carpet and it ensures that no residue of the cleaning solution remains on your carpet. If carpet cleaning solution residue remains, your carpet is likely to attract dirt quicker because cleaning solutions act like a dirt magnet.

Carpet Protection

Although this is an optional process, we highly recommend it after carpet cleaning. A thorough application of a product like Scotchgard to your clean carpets makes the carpeting resistant to future soiling and staining
