Carpet Cleaning We offer 2 types of carpet cleaning: Truck Mounted Hot Water Extraction (BEST) Recommended by most carpet mills. Carpet is treated with an alkaline pre-spray, worked into the fibers with a grooming rake, then given a few minutes for the enzyme to do its job ... release the soil. While this is going on we vacuum along the base board. The released soil is then extracted with a super heated “clear water rinse” ... no chemicals. We then do a final grooming with a brush to eliminate marks from the cleaning wand and make sure the fibers are all laying in the same direction. That is our basic cleaning. Most everyone will vacuum the carpet before we arrive but we provide that service when needed, as well as 3M Scotchgard protector. Bonnet Cleaning A low moisture system using a floor machine and a buffer pad. Not as thorough a cleaning as with our truck mount but an excellent surface cleaning. when quick drying is a necessity. Upholstery Cleaning We will test any fabrics that might result in color bleeding before attempting to clean with water. Protecting your investment is our priority. Depending on the fabric and the soiling condition, we pre-treat with either a “dry foam shampoo” or a pre-spray similar to what we use on carpet. The hot water extraction system will then remove the released soil. 3M Scotchgard protector is also available. Carpet Sales We’ll bring samples to your home or business. If you see a carpet you like elsewhere let us know as we have access to most carpet mills. Unlike some retail stores that may push what they carry in the store and, for fear of competition, sell only “price”, our position has always been to help educate our clients so they can make an informed intelligent decision. We have no allegiance to any carpet mill or any product – only to our client! Carpet Installation Even if you purchased your carpet elsewhere we’ll install it. All work performed in accordance with the Carpet and Rug Institute “Carpet Installation Standard.” (CRI 104 & 105). The practice of some installers has been to take short cuts and go to the next job. Not here at AJAX. We’ll never compromise quality and our work is guaranteed for 1 year. Carpet Re-Stretching & Repairs This is our favorite. While every carpet installer is required to guarantee their work for 1 year, I have heard horror stories from customers who said the installer would not respond when a problem arose. Also, a wrinkle or seam problem might have occurred after the obligatory 1 year period. Or perhaps Fido may have been left in a closed room and tried to crawl under the door, shredding the carpet in the process. When problems like these, as well as other problems, do arise many consumers become frustrated because it’s very difficult to find a carpet installer who wants to bother with these “little jobs.” Here at Ajax -- “No job is too small if it’s important to you.” WE ALSO FIX SQUEAKY FLOORS. Don’t call a carpenter who might ruin your carpet to get at the squeaks. Call us and we’ll take care of the whole job in one day. On top of that we’ll clean the carpet at the same time. Three jobs in one - Fix the floor, Re-install the carpet, Clean the carpet. How’s that for customer convenience? I call it the Ajax Hat Trick. We love problem solving and, oh yes, we’re very good at it too. Repairs is our favorite service because it is gratifying to see a relieved customer knowing their problem has been solved, not to mention saving them money! Odor Control Malodors can be present from many sources; some unknown. We have been able to solve those issues. But in most homes it is the result of pet accidents. Our 3-step process can solve the problem in most cases. However, som...
One thing leads to another and I did some independent carpet inspections for carpet mills, had the good fortune of touring two carpet mills, including a nylon making plant. That was fascinating. My favorite part of being a carpet installer has been doing repairs and re-stretches. Taking care of a problem is very rewarding. Along the way I met a man (owner) whose business was supplying carpet cleaning chemicals, supplies, and carpet cleaning trucks. Owner used to say to me, "When are you going to buy a truck mount?"
Upholstery Cleaning
In addition to carpet sales and fitting, we specialize in carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, odor control, carpet re-stretching and all kinds of repair work.
Stain Removal
Another unique approach by professional carpet cleaning companies is to offer a stain removal only service. Here, customers pay only for the stain removal and not an entire carpet cleaning. Your professional carpet cleaner may offer an annual cleaning package, where entire rooms are cleaned at a low price throughout the year. While you might have to move furniture yourself and vacuum before the carpet cleaning technician arrives, the low price may offset any minor hassles.
Carpet Repair
Carpet is not like a slab of steel. It is a textile product. Similar to your clothing, it can expand and contract. It can also wrinkle and tear, which can create a tripping hazard. Here is what your four legged furry family member can do to carpet. This was at the edge of a well used family room, butting up to a tiled flooring. Tripping hazard - gone. And the patch blended in real nice. Kudos to the installer. lol.
Steam Cleaning
Hot water extraction is also known as steam cleaning. A pre-spray releases the soil from the fibers and breaks it down into smaller particles. High pressure is used to force the heated water into the carpet fibers, essentially flushing your carpet clean, as soil and water is removed by the vacuum system. Done properly this is the most effective method to thoroughly clean your carpets. Hot water extraction (HWE) cleaning can remove more soil than any other method.
Deep Cleaning
Accidental spills or overall general use can soil and wear carpets beyond the cleaning ability of household products. A professional deep cleaning can make carpets look as if they were new and can add years to the life. Also, allergy and asthma suffers can benefit tremendously from periodic cleanings.
Carpets cleaned professionally with truck-mounted HWE systems are usually dry to the touch in a few hours and completely dry within 12-24 hours. Most carpet manufacturers recommend hot water extraction and some companies will actually void their warranty if any other method is used.
