Residential and Commercial Cleaning Services

Most manufacturers of carpet recommend cleaning at least once per year and in fact, most require you to clean your carpet every 18 months by a professional carpet cleaning company that uses hot water extraction, or your warranty will be voided.  Today’s carpets are engineered to capture and hold particulate soils that may not be visible but can damage carpet due to their abrasive nature. Your carpet actually performs as a very good filter removing particulates from the air so that they do not become airborne. Just like any other type of filter, carpets need to be cleaned or a buildup of soil will occur.

Commercial carpet receives many times the traffic of typical residential carpet. The first critical component in programmed maintenance and cleaning is routine vacuuming coupled with rapid response to spots and spills. Carpet serves as a "sink" or collection point for everything that is tracked in or settles out of the air. Qualities such as sound absorption, slip resistance and soil-trapping ability makes it the most desirable floor covering in most buildings. Ultimately, however, even the best maintained carpet must be thoroughly cleaned to empty the "sink."

RestoreMAX Service Professionals follow the Institute of Inspection Cleaning & Certifications (IICRC) standards for Professional Cleaning Services, which involve six steps:

1. Pre-Vacuuming
2. Application of a detergent pre-spray that will suspend the soils from the carpet fibers
3. Agitation of the pre-spray so that the detergent actually contacts the soils
4. Hot water rinsing using a high-efficiency, truck-mounted cleaning system
5. Grooming of the carpet fibers (if applicable) to provide for a uniform look
6. Drying – Carpets take up to 1 to 3 hours to dry completely, depending on the degree of soiling and type of carpet RestoreMAX uses high speed air movers to dry your carpet in minutes.

RestoreMAX uses the latest residential and commercial carpet cleaning technology.  Watch the video of our RX-20 carpet cleaning extraction tool which comes with 3 spray jets, matched with 5 vacuum slots.  The RX-20 makes over 650 cleaning passes per minute.  This incredible scrubbing action releases soils while fluffing up and restoring carpet life.

3M Scotchgard Overspray Protection

You might remember when your carpet was new that any type of spill beaded up on the top of the carpet. You might also notice now that in the traffic areas of your carpet, spills no longer bead up and they tend to just soak through. This is happening because the mill applied oversprays that will wear off with foot traffic. This is why most manufacturers recommend a protective overspray be applied after cleaning to replace whatever has been taken off with wear.   In addition to protective oversprays resisting spills, they also help prevent the carpet from wearing. The majority of soil found in your carpet is known as particulate soil which would have been tracked in from outside. These soils act as sandpaper on your carpet fibers, causing them to abrade and wear out.

Protective oversprays provide a coating that helps resist this type of staining. RestoreMAX uses 3M’s Scotchgard™ which is the most recognized fabric protector available.

Spot and Stain Removal

Today’s carpets have built-in protection against most spots and stains, making cleanup easy and quick. As a carpet ages, this protection wears off, making removal of spills more difficult.  Some spills, such as hot drinks or pet urine, can break through the protective finishes on brand new carpets, causing stains that are difficult to remove. Color-added spots such as Kool-Aid™, mustard or red wine can actually dye your carpet fibers and are very difficult to remove.  RestoreMAX Service Professionals are IICRC trained in spot removal and have a full arsenal of spot removal products to assist in removing even the most difficult stains. 

Area Rugs

They tend to be made of more delicate fibers, questionable dyes and woven constructions that can easily be damaged by do-it-yourself procedures or even professionals without adequate training and experience.

RestoreMAX certified professionals are trained to recognize different fibers, constructions and types of rugs, along with their potential problems. They are able to respond with custom cleaning techniques and procedures that minimize problems on area rugs before they arise, while returning them to the clean, sanitary state that enhances the interior decor of any home or office.

Odor Control

Odor in homes and buildings arises from many sources that may include animal urine, disaster contaminates, moisture problems or just plain soil. The majority of odors that we are asked to remove are a result of pets that stay indoors. Today, it seems that homeowners leave their pets inside more then ever before. The severity of these odors is often underestimated by homeowners as they become somewhat desensitized to the smell over time. However on humid days or when there is an attempt to sell the home, the odor may become very apparent. RestoreMAX routine cleaning packages assures automatic removal of sources of general soiling odors. Pet urine decontamination normally requires more specialized deodorizing techniques. To remove musty odor associated with moisture, ultimately it's important to identify and correct the moisture (high humidity) intrusion problem. Odor associated with disaster contaminates (smoke, trauma events) requires highly specialized procedures and techniques.

Odor removal involves four general principles:

1. removing the source as possible;
2. cleaning affected surfaces and materials;
3. recreating the conditions of penetration with appropriate counteractants, and
4. sealing restorable surfaces as necessary.
   

Over-the-counter products that are sprayed or sprinkled onto the carpet will usually only mask the smell for a short period of time. These odors can successfully be removed; however, it takes professional-strength products to counteract the odor. In severe cases, the backing of the carpet has to be treated along with the sub floor.

Upholstery Cleaning

Homeowners often do not look beyond their carpet when it comes to maintaining interior fabrics. Upholstery and draperies are often never cleaned because they don’t look visibly dirty. However, the same soils that fall out of the air and onto the carpet and other horizontal surfaces in your home also fall out onto the upholstery and are filtered through the draperies.

To keep your furniture clean, it's necessary to conduct routine maintenance (e.g. vacuuming, immediate attention to spills), coupled with periodic cleaning by a Certified Service Professional every 12 to 24 months. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until severe soiling occurs before cleaning because the greater the soiling, the less the likelihood of restoring the fabric's original color, appearance and texture; and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental quality. Some upholstered fabrics can easily be wet cleaned whereas other more delicate fabrics must be dry cleaned.

Regular cleaning of fabric and leather furnishings by a trained, our RestoreMAX Service Professionals help restore your furniture's appearance, extend its life, and keep it looking like new. Moreover, our certified professionals can offer simple suggestions to maintain a clean and healthy home or business environment overall.

Leather Cleaning

Many agree that leather is one of the finest seating surfaces known to man. There are several types of leathers and finishes and no two should be treated and cared for in exactly in the same manner. Leather types ranges from pigmented leathers with a very durable finish to Nubucks that are incredibly soft and many other categories in between. Most do-it-yourself or over-the-counter cleaning products can create problems with leather. This fact, combined with the numerous types and sub-types of leather being used on leather furniture, may create cleaning and care issues for consumers and professional cleaners without proper training.

RestoreMAX Service Professionals are trained to recognize different types and sub-types of leather. They are able to respond with custom cleaning techniques and procedures that minimize problems before they arise, while the leather furnishing to a clean, sanitary state that enhances the interior decor of any home or office.

Mattress Cleaning

Sooner or later, almost every mattress ends up with a stain. While it's true that only the person who changes the bed will see whether or not the mattress is stained, ignoring the stain won't make it go away.  In addition, mattresses collect thousands upon thousands of mites, bacteria, and tiny micro-organisms that can only be seen under a microscope. RestoreMAX can help you get rid of those, and help you, get that new mattress good night’s sleep once more!

Tile and Grout - Steam Cleaning

When cleaning ceramic tile grout, the option to steam clean may be the most appropriate choice to consider A distinct advantage to steam cleaning may be the simple fact that your hands, and other areas where skin is exposed, do not come into contact with any chemicals or oxidizing agents. Using only water and high pressure, steam cleaning has great potential to restore and disinfect surfaces which have been dulled by the presence of biological stains. Many allergens and pathogens can be eliminated too, due to the high temperatures it creates on the surface of ceramic tile floors. It may be best, in some cases, to rent a steam cleaner instead of buying one if your cleaning requirements are for less frequent intervals. When using a steam cleaner in either case, it is wise to read the manufacturer’s instructions for the most effective, and the safest, method of use. This is also true when choosing any of the products outlined above.  RestoreMAX uses HYDRO-FORCE SX12 - The latest technology for cleaning tile and grout!  The SX-12 blasts soil and dirt from tile, grout, and smooth or rough hard surfaces.  The rotary arm spins to create amazing soil blasting power working from 700 to 2,000 psi, while the vacuum ports pick up all the waste. 

Marble and Stone

Natural stone is a creation of nature. Like so many natural formations, every piece is unique and matchless.  They can provide you with a lifetime of beauty and pleasure, provided it’s properly cared for Within each piece of stone also lies the history of one particular place on our planet. RestoreMAX Service Professionals understand stone is unique and unlike any other surface, why it requires special care, and how to care for it properly.

Although we usually think of stone as "hard," it is a porous material. Natural stone has varying degrees of porosity depending on the type of stone. If left unsealed, spills and everyday messes can easily penetrate the surface. The liquid eventually evaporates but the stain is left behind.  Highly acidic substances such as orange juice, coffee and wine will also etch acid sensitive stones and leave a dull mark. Acid resistant stones such as most granite, slate and sandstone will not etch.

Benefits of Protecting Stone

The best way to prevent stains is to treat the surface with a protective sealer. The sealer fills in the pores and repels spills on the surface, allowing you time to completely wipe it away.  Stonetech Fluorochemical technology is the most advanced technology available, providing the ultimate shield against both water and oil-base stains. The micro-molecular formula actually bonds with the stone surface to deliver wear resistance and durability.

RestoreMAX Stone Service Professional is passionate about natural stone. We believe that stone is a precious material and should be treated with the utmost care. We believe that stone can transform environments and create lasting beauty and pleasure, provided that the stone is properly cared for.   Proper care means understanding different kinds of stone and how they’re used, and then matching the stone to the right products and care regimen.
