Summit Carpet Care

Summit Carpet Care utilizes the hot water/steam extraction cleaning process.  While this is the most effective way to clean, if not done properly you could receive less than satisfactory results.  That is why it is crucial to employ a certified cleaner.

Once we arrive we will do a walk through of the areas you would like us to clean.  This will give us the actual square footage of what we are cleaning.  We bill only on the carpet we clean.  If it is a furnished home, we take dimensions of room minus any large unmoveable items.  It also allows us to see how soiled the carpet is, and if there are any areas of concern.  We have four types of standard carpet cleaning detergents they range in ph from 8.5 to 12.0.  We also have a line of Green Certified and Organic Certified cleaning detergents.  All cleaners are non-toxic, and safe for children and pets.  In additon to cleaners we also have fourteen different spotting specific products.(coffee, food, oil, paint, wax,red stains, pet urine, etc.)

After we have determined which cleaning product is best for your situation, we will begin the cleaning process.   We apply the pre-spray to your carpet. (this is the cleaner it is designed to emulsify dirt, and soiling.)  In some cases heavily soiled areas will need extra dwell time or agitation.  Once those steps, if needed, are accomplished we then begin extraction. 

Extraction involves a 220 degree 400 p.s.i.  neutralizing rinse and powerful  vacum.  The chemistry of cleaning is:  dirt/soil is 4.5 plus or minus on the ph scale.  Cleaners are 8.5 plus or minus, this akaline cleaner will release dirt/soil from acidic carpet.  The neutralizing 220 degree rinse is approximately 6.0. on the ph scale.  Why hot water?  Well think about washing your dirty greasy hands with....cold water, it will get them cleaner; however, hot water will get them clean.

Once extraction is complete your carpet will be clean, returned to a slightly acidic (normal) condition, and damp.  We clean using an overlapping motion.  Each pass with the carpet wand, moving from left to right, has the rinse jet on moving up, and back.( The vacum is always on.)  Once we have completed a full left to right rinse pass, we then do a full right to left vacum only pass.  This ensures that we fully rinse out any cleaner, neutralize the carpet, and vacum extract as much moisture out of the fibers as possible.  In heavily trafficked areas, we clean overlapping going "north-south", and then again going "east-west".  We also double up on the vacum only passes on those areas.  This is by far one of the most important steps.  If a carpet cleaner(person) moves to quickly, they can leave cleaner in the carpet, leave moisture, and leave you un-happy.

In general our pre-spray cleaning solution gets most spots out of the carpet.  Spots will come out of carpet.  Some times there are areas that have been stained, and those areas are now part of the carpet.  We will work on all spots using one, or several,  of our 14 different spotters.  If it can come out of carpet, we will do everything we can to get a spot out.

• Our basic line of cleaners is safe for children and pets.  We also have a green certified line of cleaning products from Prochem, called Axiom Clean.  www.prochem.com  Look under Axiom Products.  We also have an organic cleaner.  In addition we use products from Masterblend, www.masterblend.com, and from Gemtek, www.gemtek.com  .  Since we are "exposed" to these cleaners every day, we use the safest non-toxic, low VOC, cleaners .
