About You
Somehow, you’re in charge of carpet cleaning at “The Company”. You don’t know how that happened… but it did. This means that you see every dirty spot and hear every negative carpet comment. The spill in the break room… comments from your boss… and fellow workers… the smell… It’s all on you, and you are beginning to FEEL it!
Did you get any training?
A lot of people, like you, believe they have little or no knowledge when it comes to selecting a carpet cleaner. When in actuality, they know a lot more than they think!
What they know usually comes from legends stories and Urban Myths that are passed around between families and friends.
Have you thought of any of these phrases to yourself?
“It was wet for DAYS!”
“It smelled musty when they were done.”
“It smelled like a wet dog for 3 days, even with windows open.”

Turns out, there was A TON of carpet training in your life!! All those stories and phrases you heard over the years, gave you an idea what to expect when you hire a cleaning company.
Not very inspiring, is it?
In fact, it scares most people out of their wits. I mean, WHO in their right mind would want to EVER hire a cleaning company after hearing those things, over and over? Certainly NOT ME, probably you either!
But those are the things that EVERYONE hears, all the time. Everybody is skeptical when it comes to cleaning the carpet. EVERYBODY knows all those things!
Who wants to be in charge of getting the carpet cleaned? Who wants to deal with everyone judging you? …offering you advice? …adding more comments to the list? …waiting for you to FAIL?
Were you set up?!?
After hearing all that, who would EVER want to clean carpet? NO wonder people wait well beyond the saturation point and nasty visible spots. NO wonder “NEVER” is always the answer to “How often would you like to clean your carpet?”
Truth be told, there is something satisfying about watching dirty, nasty carpet, become fresh and clean again.
But how about the next morning? Is it as satisfying to come in, next day and deal with the aftermath? Damp, musty carpets …Styrofoam blocks under furniture… and “should a freshly-cleaned carpet smell that way”? Sheesh… It’s as if the things on the list are true! Would there be a list if they weren’t?
What if your carpets could stay clean and fresh all the time? Would you miss the embarrassment? The nasty smell, the snarky comments and the impromptu meeting with your supervisor? Could you convince yourself to live with clean carpets all-the-time?
Hmmm… food for thought.
You can either fret about your carpet and clean it a lot, or you can ignore it (like most people) and have a huge, looming mess to clean up when you can’t take it anymore. And, that time always comes.
Would it be easier on you to ignore the carpet AND still know that it looks good? You need to become our client.
Traditional Carpet Cleaning, like you buy from cleaning companies, can’t keep your carpet clean. It wasn’t designed to. You pay MONEY to clean carpet that only looks good for a few weeks after they leave.
No wonder you don’t like to pay for cleaning. It’s expensive, and it doesn’t last! You think you’re buying “clean” but you’re actually only buying “the cleaning” itself.
You’re paying for a service that is not timely, it’s expensive, and the results are temporary. Those outdated processes make you live with soil buildup and spills, until you spend the big money again for temporary relief.
Sounds like you need a better solution…
It can be done. And we do it on over 4,000,000 square feet of carpet every month in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area. Can you imagine? No more soaked carpets, stains and spots coming back, stressing about when the bosses are coming in to get it done, or spending a fortune!
