Professional Carpet, Rug and Upholstery Cleaning

With each year that passes, as Houston grows and expands, carpet and upholstery cleaning companies continue to pop out of the woodwork. The variety can make it difficult for consumers to be certain the company they choose doesn't take them to the "cleaners."

Experts suggest only working with businesses certified by organizations such as the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). This group helps consumers choose services ranging from water extraction to carpet cleaning to mold and microbial remediation. More than 30 years old, the IICRC is a nonprofit certification body founded to set standards for the inspection, cleaning and restoration service industries. IICRC certified firms must show proof of insurance, provide ongoing education for their workers and stay active in their industry by attending seminars, workshops and conventions.

Another consideration is the age and experience of the company. Always look for an established company with plenty of experience cleaning carpets in your area. Be sure they are bonded and insured, and, if possible, check references.

MBM has been in business since 1998 and is certified by the IICRC in carpet cleaning and restoration. Our technicians and cleaners have proof on hand of licenses, certifications, insurance, testimonials, etc. We use the industry's most advanced truck-mounted carpet cleaning system, specially engineered for unrivaled cleaning power and deep-down suction to remove ground in soil and revive the appearance of your carpet, upholstery and rugs.

 

Cleaning Procedures

Please have all furniture removed from the rooms you need to have cleaned prior to our arrival to speed the cleaning process.

Carpeting, rugs and upholstery to be cleaned are inspected to identify potential problems including pet stains and microbial contamination (mold and mildew).

All cleaning steps along with additional recommended procedures are reviewed with you including the initial agreed upon price and the price for the recommended procedures. We will not clean or charge you for anything you do not initially agree to and sign for before cleaning begins.

First we commercially pre-vacuum to remove as much dry dirt and particles as possible.

Everything is then pre-treated with special emphasis on spots and spills. This will emulsify foreign particles and aid in cleaning.

Then we steam clean with our truck mounted, deep steam cleaning process. The thorough rinsing action flushes foreign particles out of your carpet, rug or upholstery. We regulate the pressure so as not to over-wet. Hot water is kept between 180 and 220 degrees, to aid in sanitization.

Your cleaned carpet will take from two to five hours to dry. It is recommended you wait the minimum of two hours before moving any furniture back in. The use of coasters under your heavier items also aids in drying and adds to the life of your carpet.

Carpet Stretching and Repair

A poorly stretched carpet wears faster than a flat, properly stretched carpet. Wrinkles and waves also contribute to tripping and falling accidents in your home. By having your carpet professionally stretched, you add years to the life of the carpet and increase the safety of your home. MBM also repairs ripped seems, worn spots, torn areas, and exposed or fraying edges.
