EXPERT ADVICE

Why Professional Cleaning Beats DIY

Rental machines seem like a good deal, but here's why professional truck-mounted cleaning is worth every penny.

10x More Power: Truck-mounted systems extract deeper dirt
Hot Water: 200°F+ kills bacteria rental units can't reach
Fast Drying: 3-6 hours vs. 24-48 hours with rentals
No Residue: Professional solutions don't attract more dirt
Expertise: Trained technicians know how to handle all stains

When to Call a Professional

Some situations require professional expertise. Don't wait if you notice:

1
Persistent odors that won't go away
2
Visible stains that DIY methods can't remove
3
Carpets looking dull or matted down
4
It's been 6+ months since last cleaning
5
Allergies or respiratory issues worsening
6
Water damage or flooding occurred
