Carpet Cleaning photos from last couple of weeks.


It's been a while since we've blogged about carpet cleaning jobs we've been doing.  I finally have a camera that takes video.  So, even though I have no editing software yet, I am posting two carpet cleaning videos of me doing two rooms with the RX-20 cleaning tool.  I'm so glad to have the RX-20 for cleaning carpets that have severe soiling in the traffic patterns.  The RX-20 tool helps me achieve the best cleaning results possible.  I'm also posting the "after" photos of the rooms to show what they look like when all the cleaning steps are complete.  This particular job shows a peach/coral colored carpet that was installed in 1999 and last cleaned on May of 2006.  Even though the traffic patterns were extremely soiled, it turned out remarkably well.  The customer was thinking they were going to have to replace the carpet, but after cleaning, they decided it would be more than suitable for at least another couple of years.  I'll post the other photos and video below.

Another fine carpet cleaning

Enjoyed getting up this morning to clean another carpet.  The carpet cleaning job this morning made for another photo opportunity.  The last two weeks I've cleaned mainly white to off-white carpets.  Sure separates the effective cleaners from the non-effective.  It's helps to love what you do, and the results show that I do.  Enjoy spring!

Cleaning a 15 year-old carpet

This afternoon I worked for one of my returning customers.  Their white nylon carpet is now fifteen years old and still looks so nice after cleaning.  They were thinking of replacement, but are so happy to have the carpet looking clean again.  Two weeks ago I cleaned all their tile and grout.  It was the job where I mentioned I forgot to take before/after photos.  The tile and grout looks new.  A great deal of satisfaction comes from a job well done.

Handmade Braided Rugs

Today I cleaned two unusual items.  My first customer had two braided rugs that she made many years ago.  It was common to make braided rugs out of scrap clothing and rags in times past.  I've been privileged to clean several handmade braided rugs over the years.  It's remarkable to see the designs each person incorporated into their creations.  These are heirloom rugs and I'm happy to have been able to refresh them for their owners.

My last customer today has a plush, long napped carpet.  The nap on this carpet is 1.5 long.  Makes for a challenge, especially to get it clean in front of the two recliners.  The photo shows the cleaning in process.  This time we used the RX-20 on the traffic area in front of the recliners.  This is the fifth time we've cleaned this carpet and it turned out wonderful again.  It's so nice to have loyal repeat customers.  Thanks!

Tar Removal From Carpet

Was able to get the culprit out of the doghouse.  The tar, tracked from the front door through the living room toward the kitchen, is now just a memory.  Makes me feel good to remove that black stuff from the carpet.  Tried taking a photo but the file wouldn't save for some reason.  Would have made a great photo though because the carpet was an off-white nylon with lots of black tar spots.  Another fun day cleaning carpet.

Carpet Cleaning maintenance

Yesterday's carpet cleaning customers were some of our favorites. These customers adhere to a good maintenance cleaning schedule to extend the life of their flooring investment. While photos don't show an impressive before/after difference, there is still a great deal of satisfaction derived from keeping these carpets looking their best for many years. I appreciate these customers loyalty and trust in our ability and efforts to keep their rugs looking great for so many years. They are like old friends... the best! Maybe I'll start taking photos of the results of these jobs just to show how good well maintained carpets can look over the years.

One of the jobs scheduled today has tar tracked across the carpet from a roofing job.... Oops. I'll try to take some photos of our efforts to fix that problem and get somebody out of the doghouse!

Carpet Cleaning


Carpet cleaning job in Prescott Valley income property today.  When we arrived the carpet had loads of pet hair, stains and excessive soiling present.  Took a photo with my cell phone to show the before and after results.  It sure is nice having the right equipment for this challenging job.
