Modern carpet has been engineered to hide soil so well that if one
waits for the carpet to ‘look dirty’ before cleaning, it is beyond
maintenance and into restoration. Some damage from abrasive soil may
have already accrued and cleaning will be of little help. With today’s
cleaning systems, it is best to clean soon and often in order to prevent
the level of soiling from ever reaching that ‘dirty look’ that would
force professional restorative cleaning. Eighty five percent of soil is dry soil that can be removed by vacuuming (and by pile lifting on commercial carpets only) an-add on service that Cope's Carpet Cleaning recommends. Vacuuming is the first step. We recommend a dual-motor vacuum with a beater bar (for carpets with padding). Using an H.E.P.A. filter is also recommended. Pile lifting is then used to remove the deep down grit and soil that abrades the carpet fibers and prematurely destroys the carpet. This process also ‘sets’ the carpet pile for cleaning. Fifteen percent is oily soil and can only be removed by professional cleaning. For both deep down cleaning and superior results we use the ‘Hot Water Extraction’ method to clean your carpets. We can use either portable or truck-mounted equipment for your convenience. First we apply a traffic lane cleaner or TLC for all traffic areas, then we custom select the best cleaning agent for your carpet and level of soiling and apply it via Hot Water Extraction cleaning. Cope's Carpet Cleaning can then provide protection for your carpets with a variety of carpet protectors including 3-M’s Scotchgard or DuPont’s Teflon® Advanced. How to Contact Us
