Begin to care for your carpet from the day it's "installed, and" you'll enjoy all its beauty for years to come. Proper care is quick, easy and inexpensive. Prevent soil accumulation, vacuum frequently, clean up spills promptly, and periodically clean carpet thoroughly.
How often should I professionally clean my carpet?
Professional cleaning is recommended once every 12 months.
Which cleaning method is recommended?
Most professionals use hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning. Other cleaning methods include absorbent pad or bonnet cleaning, rotary shampoo, and dry foam powder. Check your warranty information for further requirements.
What should my professional cleaner know?
Cleaning Solutions must have a pH of 10 or less.
Cleaning agents must not contain any cationic agent as found in many bactericides, biocides, anti-stats, pesticides, etc.
Use only enough solution to assure maximum cleaning and residue removal.
Is do-it-yourself carpet cleaning ok?
Professional cleaning is recommended. If you decide to do it yourself, please follow these guidelines.
1. Follow manufacturer's instructions.
2. Avoid excessive detergent use. Too much detergent promotes soiling.
3. Use only cleaning solutions that are acceptable for use on stain and soil resistant carpet.
4. Cationic or chemicals with a pH greater than 10 should be avoided.

SOIL EXTRACTOR is a moist
powder made up of microscopic porous particles that
work like little sponges. When brushed into the carpet
pile, the sponge- like particles absorb the soil,
along with its offensive odors, and are then easily
vacuumed away. Capture is a good maintenance procedure
between cleanings.
