    Why Professional Cleaning is Worth the Investment

    Save 6-8 Hours of Your Weekend

    Spend your time on things you enjoy, not on backbreaking carpet cleaning labor. Our team handles everything from start to finish.

    Protected by Insurance

    If anything goes wrong, you're covered. DIY cleaning puts all risk on you - damage, water marks, mould growth, odour and discoloration.

    Professional Results, Guaranteed

    We stand behind our work. If you're not satisfied, we'll make it right. No such guarantee with rental equipment.

    Results Last 3-6x Longer

    Our deep extraction means carpets stay cleaner longer. DIY leaves residue that attracts dirt within weeks.

    Better Long-Term Value

    Professional cleaning every 6-12 months costs less than multiple DIY attempts plus your time investment.

    Superior Equipment = Better Clean

    Our truck-mounted system delivers 12x the power of rental machines. You simply can't match professional equipment.
