1.) What method do you use for cleaning ?
The method we use for cleaning is hot water extraction commonly referred to as steam cleaning using powerful truck mounted units.
We also offer deep cleaning for heavily soiled and stained carpets which have to be pre-treated with enzymes that will breakdown the soils from the carpet fibers to loosen dirt and oils that vacuum cleaners cannot remove. base on the type of carpeting you have, we'll often use a teflon-rake to agitate the pre-spray into your carpet fibers. Your carpets will be cleaned down to the backing and will also remove deep down bacteria, pollens and any residue.

2.) What cleaning products do you use?
We use top-of-the-line cleaning products consistent with industry standards and manufacturers recommendations. All products are 100% eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning products safe for you, your pets, and the environment.
3.) Do I need to vacuum before the crew arrives?
A light vacuuming in the traffic areas is recommended but not required. If needed, the crew can pre-vacuum the area to be cleaned. Also, the equipment is vacuuming the entire time we are cleaning.
4.) Do you move furniture?
Our regular pricing includes moving light furniture such as sofas, chairs, coffee tables and smaller items. larger and heavier pieces such as beds or dressers are left in place.
5.) How long will it take to clean my carpets?
On average, it will take approximately 20 minutes per room. This time can vary greatly depending on the cleaning method, size of the rooms, amount of furniture to be moved, how soiled the carpet is, and any necessary spot removal treatments.
6.) How long will it take for my carpet to dry?
The standard drying time is 6 to 8 hours. Carpet in some areas will remain damp into the second day depending on how soiled the carpet was and how well ventilated the house is. Open windows and fans greatly reduces the drying time.
You may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but avoid wearing street shoes, as they may re-soil your carpet. We suggest wearing clean white socks. Be especially careful when walking from damp carpeted areas on to non-carpeted areas to avoid slipping.

7.) How often should I have my carpet cleaned?
On average household carpets should be cleaned every 6 months to a year. In some cases (pets, children, allergies) carpets may require more frequent cleanings
8.) Why Do Carpets Need to Be Cleaned Regularly?
It’s easy to think that the only reason you need your carpet clean is so it looks nice, right? That is certainly one reason to schedule regular carpet cleaning; however, it’s important to remember that carpet cleaning is also an investment in your health. Carpets, whether in your home or in your office, can quickly collect dirt, bacteria, dust mites and allergens. Though not always visible on the surface, these contaminants can actually pollute the air quality that you breathe every day. Carpets that often appear clean may, in fact, be much dirtier than you think!
Think of your carpet as a type of air filter in your home. When things like dust, dirt, bacteria and dust mites collect on your carpet, in time you will start to breathe in that buildup. Merely using household carpet cleaners to remove dirt and spills is not enough to ensure the air you’re breathing is as clean as possible. By investing in services like Elite carpet care, you can rest assured that our commercial grade, advanced equipment will give your carpets the deepest and most thorough cleaning possible.
