1. What method of carpet cleaning do you use?

   We offer two low moisture cleaning systems. Certain carpets are better serviced with one cleaning method over the other. Our expert staff would be glad to recommend the process that best fits your individual situation.

   Young’s Chem-Dry’s Patented Hot Carbonating Extraction System: is applied using a low pressure applicator, using only 65 psi, that applies millions of microscopic carbonating bubbles deep into the base of the carpet, then the power of carbonation literally explodes the dirt, grime, bacteria, and pollens off of the fibers and up to the surface. Next, everything is extracted and swept away forever. This process leaves your carpet in a drier, cleaner, healthier state than does steam cleaning.

   When using our hot carbonating extraction system we use a machine called the Powerhead. This machine uses five vacuum slots and five spray jets turning at 130 rpm that sprays and vacuums simultaneously on the carpet which produces a tremendous deep cleaning action. This machine makes 650 cleaning passes per minute, clearly a superior process compared to regular steam cleaning which uses a single pass wand and makes approximately 20 to 40 cleaning passes per
   minute. The drying time for our system is two to three hours, leaving the carpet soft and fluffy, with no dirt attracting residue. We offer a 100% guarantee with this system when choosing the Healthy Home Premium and Stain Fighter Packages!

   Young’s Chem-Dry basic cleaning package: This cleaning system uses a patented carbonating cleaner called the Natural. Applying cleaner to the carpet releases millions of carbonated bubbles which emulsify the dirt and grime. The cleaner effervesces, lifting the soil to the surface and is extracted with a bonnet. This low moisture system dries in one to two hours, leaves no dirt attracting residue, and is recommended for moderately soiled carpets.

   This is the original Chem-Dry system that has been used to clean thousands of carpets for over twenty five years!

2. Should I hire the cleaning company that offer the lowest price?

   Let’s see… It’s amazing how hard it can be to choose the right carpet cleaning professional. There are so many companies and types of cleaning methods available. You can get confused just looking at the Yellow Pages. Who can you trust? How much will it cost? Will they damage your expensive carpets?

   Choosing a company solely by price does not work! The truth is, when we invest wisely we get what we pay for. Call the cheapest company and you’ll get a big sales pitch with a little bit of cleaning.

   It only makes sense that the cheapest company has to cut cost by using cheap cleaning agents, cheap cleaning equipment and low paid personal who spend as little time as possible cleaning your carpeting.

   Is this type of “quick-cheap” job going to remove all the contaminates, oils, dirt and soil from your carpeting? If not, then the lowest price company is really no bargain at all. Do you have to pay the highest prices to get the best service? Not when you hire our company… Our pricing is reasonable.

3. Should I wait as long as possible before I have it cleaned?

   No… Dirt is an abrasive-like sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into the carpet fibers. This cuts your carpet, just as if you had used a knife. Causing it to wear out faster. Vacuuming helps, but by itself, it’s simply not enough. The longer you wait to have your carpet cleaned, the more damage you do and your carpets wear out faster.

4. How do I take care of my carpet?

   Carpet Care Tipes

   Proper care and maintenance of your carpet will extend its useful life and preserve its appearance for years and years. Failure to take care of it will result in premature wear. Additionally, clean carpets contribute to a healthy indoor environment. Dirty carpets can be unhealthful indeed.

   Save yourself money and maintain a healthy home by using the following simple carpet care tips:

   • Vacuum your carpets three times a week using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate) filter.
   • Remove stains and spills as promptly as possible. this is best achieved with Chem-Dry Professional Strength Spot Remover. Remove as much excess as possible, then apply and blot with a clean white cloth. DO NOT rub the spot as this might grind the stain in further.
   • Have your carpets cleaned and protected at least twice a year by Chem-Dry, or more often if you have children or pets.

   Traffic Lane Gray

   Like all textiles, carpets will eventually show signs of wear. The wear creates an illusion of soiling, which often causes frustration and misunderstanding between the homeowners and carpet care experts. Even though a carpet has been cleaned, it does not mean the traffic areas will look clean. Traffic areas are those places where people are constantly walking or working. This situation creates what is called “traffic lane gray”.

   There is not a lot that a carpet care expert can do with traffic lane gray. When a 10-year old carpet is cleaned, you will end up with a clean 10-year old carpet. It may not appear the way you had hoped. The easiest way to slow down this process is by rearranging the furniture so traffic areas are changed or just add area rugs.
