Orange County Carpet Cleaning
Protect your carpet color
In addition to regular vacuuming, its essential to clean your carpet on a regular basis. Cleaning systems will remove the greasy, sticky soil that vacuums can’t take out, and will help keep your carpet looking great over time.
Cleaning methods aim at the soils that result from cooking vapors, air pollution, and tracked-in grime. The particles of greasy soil deposited on carpet fibers can cause gradual but substantial dulling of colors. The color isn’t lost, but is hidden beneath the coating. If this kind of soil is permitted to accumulate, it begins to draw and hold the dry soil.
Get on a cleaning schedule
If carpet is cleaned before it gets too unsightly, the cleaning chore will be much easier and more successful. Carpet in a average household must be cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on the amount of residents and amount of activity.
Choosing the right cleaning system is essential. A number of methods could leave residues which accelerate re-soiling and defeats the whole purpose of cleaning.

Shaws choice: Hot water extraction
Research shows that the hot water extraction procedure presents the greatest ability for cleaning. This procedure is commonly referred to as “steam cleaning,” even though no steam is actually generated. The procedure consists of applying a cleaning agent into the carpet pile and using water in the extractor to recover the used solution and soil. This can be done from a truck-mounted unit outside the residence with only the hose and wand brought inside or by a portable system brought into the home.
Shaw warranties require that the property owner be able to show proof of periodic cleaning by hot water extraction (commonly referred to as “steam” cleaning) by a certified cleaning service or do-it-yourself system, using equipment that is certified under the Carpet and Rug Institute’s Seal of Approval program. We strongly recommend cleaning techniques that have achieved the Gold Level Performance in the CRI Seal of Approval Program.
Professional advantages
Professional carpet cleaners are a great choice for your floor. Their cleaning equipment has additional extraction power than the rental units available to individuals, and the carpet should dry more quickly. True professionals also understand the equipment, know the appropriate cleaning agents for the circumstances at hand, and be familiar with the differences in fibers and carpet construction.
Locate a qualified carpet cleaner
Effective January 1, 2008, professional repair must be performed by an IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) licensed firm.** You may contact the IICRC at 1-800-835-4624 for information. This organization maintains a national directory of independent professional cleaners who are qualified and trained in a variety of cleaning specialties. Call and explain that you have purchased a Shaw carpet, and be sure to ask for a cleaner close to you who uses the hot water extraction system. If you prefer tackling the job yourself, check these do-it-yourself guidelines before you begin.
