We have been serving the East Lansing area for over 24 years. I've been in the carpet cleaning industry since 1984. Since that time I have had a passion for providing the absolute best carpet, floor and upholstery care to the best people in East Lansing and I would love for you to become part of our family.

I am a Certified Master Cleaner with the IICRC. (This institute is designed to improve carpet cleaning standards, and to help eliminate unethical carpet cleaning companies.) The IICRC provides continuing education for carpet cleaners and keeps us up to date on the latest technology.

The IICRC does not allow its members to use unethical "bait and switch" advertising. This is also against the law, but very few carpet cleaners ever get prosecuted. That's why we fight them. That's why I need your help. You may not know this, but not all carpet cleaners are the same. Not only because some of them use deplorable advertising, but there is a big difference in how they clean. I use only hot water extraction. This is the method required by Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer. The other methods are either too harsh on the carpet, or they just don't clean well.

Excellence In Cleaning Guaranteed

I've cleaned hundreds of carpets and my most important objective has always been client satisfaction. I take great pride in my work and make certain we do everything exactly right on every job.

I've even satisfied the self-proclaimed "Pickiest Customer in the World," who prefers to remain nameless. In fact, several of her neighbors have also called my company, because they said, " If you can make her happy, you can make anybody happy."

If I can please her, I'm confident that we can please YOU. When we get done beautifying your carpet, If you see anything more we can do, just tell us and we'll make it right. I want to make friends as well as longtime clients. I have clients whose children I have seen grow up and we now clean for them. I'm not like most carpet cleaners who just come clean your carpet, and then as fast as can be, they're on to the next job. I want to be your personal carpet, floor and upholstery cleaner for years to come.

This is a commonly asked question. I have had people say that they have not had their carpets cleaned in 10 years or more because they have relied on myths and misconceptions. The fact is that cleaning extends the life of your carpet and saves you the tremendous amount of money required to replace prematurely worn carpet. Carpets cleaned on a regular basis provide a healthy, safe living environment for you and your family at the same time adding years of life to one of the larger investments in your home. So the question is, how often should they be cleaned? The answer can depend on several factors. The chart below taken from the IICRC Reference Guide for Professional Carpet Cleaning can assist you in answering this all important question.

RESIDENTIAL CARPET CLEANING FREQUENCY CHART

Did you know that according to the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration (IIRC) you should have your carpets cleaned AT LEAST 1 TIME PER YEAR depending on the amount of traffic? The IIRC is a professional association that trains and monitors cleaning technicians throughout the United States. To help you decide how often your carpets need to be cleaned, I have included a graph from the IIRC S100 book, 2002. These standards provide the guidelines used by the carpet industry to give your carpet the longest life possible.
