We use the hot water extraction method commonly known as steam cleaning. This method of cleaning carpets has been proven over and over as the most effective way to clean carpet and upholstery.
How does your equipment differ from the other guys?
Most of the other companies use the classic truck mounted units. These machines are powered by the van engine to supply power to run their equipment. Also their vans have a large water tank inside to provide the water needed and a large disposal tank for the dirty water. While the truck mounted units do a good job of cleaning, the vans engine is continuously running during the entire process spewing CO2 directly into the atmosphere. According to Environment Canada an idling engine produces 2.5 Kilograms of CO2 for every litre of gas consumed. Think of how much that adds up to in a year. Then they have to dispose of all that dirty water in the huge disposal tank. Where do you think the waste water goes?
By contrast our machines run on green electricity with ZERO EMISSIONS. And our dirty water is disposed of directly down the toilet receiving full sewage treatment. And best of all because we don’t burn all that gasoline we can do the job for much less and pass those savings on to you. Everybody wins! You can be green and save money at the same time.
