Services
Carpet Cleaning
Professional carpet cleaning removes embedded dirt, allergens, and pet stains using truck-mounted extraction systems. Our technicians apply pre-treatments for spot removal, followed by hot water extraction that reaches deep into carpet fibers. This process extends carpet lifespan while improving indoor air quality. Commercial-grade equipment ensures faster drying times, typically 6-8 hours, with minimal disruption to residential or business environments.
Furnace Duct Cleaning
Furnace and duct cleaning removes accumulated dust, pet dander, and wildfire smoke particles from HVAC systems. Using industrial vacuums and rotary brushes, we clean supply and return ducts, plenums, and registers. This improves heating efficiency by up to 23% in mountain environments, reduces allergens, and lowers energy costs. Recommended every 1-2 years for properties with pets or frequent occupancy changes.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Professional dryer vent cleaning eliminates lint buildup in residential and commercial laundry systems. Our technicians use specialized rods and high-powered vacuums to clear obstructions from transition hoses to exterior vents. This reduces fire risk by 90%, improves drying efficiency by 15-25%, and extends appliance lifespan. Annual cleaning recommended for multi-occupant properties and large households.
Tile Grout Cleaning
High-pressure tile and grout cleaning removes embedded grime using 1000psi extraction systems. We apply pH-neutral cleaners, agitate with nylon brushes, then extract contaminants while protecting surrounding surfaces. Post-cleaning sealing options extend cleanliness by 6-12 months. Effective for ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone flooring in kitchens, bathrooms, and entryways.
Upholstery Cleaning
Upholstery cleaning restores furniture appearance and hygiene using truck-mounted steam systems and fabric-specific detergents. Our process removes pet dander, food stains, and mountain dust from sofas, chairs, and mattresses. Low-moisture techniques allow furniture use within 2-4 hours. Recommended annually for high-traffic areas and pet-owning households to maintain indoor air quality.
