Our 4-Step Steam Cleaning Process

Our hot water extraction method is recommended by carpet manufacturers and delivers superior deep-cleaning results. Here’s how we work:

1. Inspection & Assessment, we start with a complete inspection to identify stains, wear patterns, and heavy-traffic areas so we can customize your cleaning.
2. Eco-Friendly Pre-Treatment, we apply safe, biodegradable cleaners that break down tough soils, pet stains, and mud without harsh chemicals.
3. Rotovac 360i® Deep Restoration, unlike most Ames carpet cleaners who use a manual wand, we use the Rotovac 360i® Rotary Jet Extractor for 360-degree cleaning, consistent quality on every room, and restorative power that lifts matted traffic areas and “shadowing” manual wands leave behind.

 4. Grooming & Quick Drying, we groom carpets for a uniform finish and use powerful air movers for accelerated drying, typically 3–6 hours.
