AQ's Cleaning Process & Procedure
AQ has a 5 step cleaning process procedure.
1. First we start with a walk through evaluation of all areas or items to be cleaned will be looked at carefully. Then a written estimate will be explained to you to make sure you understand the work that is being performed.
2. Pre-vacuum areas or items to be cleaned to rid of dry soil contaminates. Dry soil contaminates include: small particles of sand/gravel, leaves, pine needles, animal dander and hair, dead skin cells and the most common, DUST. Now the areas/items are ready for pre-treatments which aid in braking down the rest of the soils in your carpet or upholstery.
3. Pre-treatments are usually a high traffic lane cleaner or an organic based cultured enzyme to break down organic proteins that reside in your carpets or upholstery. All pre-treatments are agitated and groomed into the pile to ensure that all the soil will be suspended for extraction. Grooming will also help matted high traffic lanes to stand up again, making cleaning more efficient.
4. The extraction process is the next major step. Once the pre-treatments have set-up, we remove the cleaning solutions and all of the soils from deep down in the fibers of your carpet or upholstery. This step is an Absolute Quality service and is where the most time can be spent to make sure the very best result is obtained.
5. Now that everything is all clean and soil free, AQ will make sure your happy with the service performed and then go over the fibers with a pile or nap grooming process to help the drying time. Usually at this time it is recommended to apply a scotchguard or teflon treatment. This will seal and protect your fibers from wear and tear damage and major straining.
AQ promises to get your carpets as dry as possible while in your home or business and can guarantee a 12 hour or less dry time with your help after the cleaning. Cool air circulation is mandatory for the best dry time. By placing fans out, or using the fan setting on your furnace and/or open windows for cross-circulation.
