Every day wear and tear forms a build-up of pollutants and stains on carpets, affecting not only how the carpet looks, but also how long it lasts. Leading carpet manufacturers recommend professional carpet cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Professional carpet cleaning removes deep-seated dirt, lengthening the life of the carpets while maintaining a clean working environment.

Alpha Cleaning Company uses the Hot Water Extraction method for deep-cleaning and rinsing carpets, as recommended by leading carpet manufacturers. Contrary to popular belief, hot water will not shrink or damage carpets, and in fact, Hot Water Extraction is a far more efficient cleaning process. The use of hot water not only properly extracts dirt and pollutants from your carpets, it rinses the dirt away properly too. Think of it as the difference between a bath and a shower. In a bath, you are using dirty water to rinse, whereas a shower uses clean, hot water to effectively remove all the dirt. With carpet cleaning, the same principle applies. Rather than leaving a carpet to dry with the dirty water still in it, hot water rinsing effectively eliminates all the dirt. This method also removes all traces of cleaning products, preventing future problems such as sticky residues and stains.

Our carpet cleaning service commences with an on-site inspection carried out by one of our trained and certified technicians. This allows us to identify problem areas such as stains that may require specialized treatment prior to the overall cleaning. The first step in our carpet cleaning procedure is vacuuming with a powerful commercial vacuum. This removes all loose surface dirt, after which a special cleaning compound is sprayed on the carpet. This compound loosens any stubborn dirt in preparation for the next step. Using a rotary machine, detergent is massaged into the carpet fibers. The rotation and massaging maximizes the efficiency of the chemicals by distributing them evenly throughout the carpet.

The hot water extraction method is used to thoroughly rinse the carpet, flushing out all the dirt, sanitizing and deodorizing it at the same time. We use our specialty spotting techniques to treat any stubborn spots or stains that may remain, and then commence the final step – drying. We use high velocity fans in our drying process to speed up the drying time and ensure that your offices are back in operation as soon as possible.

We use a similar process in our professional upholstery cleaning process. At the pre-inspection, the type of fabric will be checked and the treatment selected that is most suitable. Once again, the hot water extraction process provides a more thorough deep clean, adding to the life of your upholstery.

Alpha Cleaning Company uses non-toxic chemical solutions, but should you have any concerns regarding allergies or safety during pregnancy, please raise them with the technician at the on-site inspection. The health and safety of our customers is of utmost importance.
