Utah County carpet cleaning service, Urine damage 801-756-2275

Utah County carpet cleaning service, When we are dealing with urine damage in the carpet , we can use a water claw and a urine treatment to flush out the urine in the carpet and the pad.  We pour the solution on the carpet and our water claw can suck right through the carpet to retrieve the solution that is in the pad. This way we can flush out all the urine in the carpet and the pad.  When you are just cleaning the carpet you are only just cleaning the face fibers and the urine damage is not just in the top of the carpet but it is also in the pad.  There is not always an easy way to replace the pad so sometimes this is a good option . These are two size water claws a small and a spotter and in the bucket I have the urine treatment.  This works very well when we are dealing with pet problems in the carpet

CARPET CLEANING AND RESTORATION IN ALPINE UTAH

My Cleaning Business History

In 1986 I started cleaning carpets part time with a portable for a small company. While working for Ralphs Grocery Co. in California at night, I soon was able to buy my own equipment-a Century 400 with a 200 psi pump and two 2-stage vac pumps with a 12 gal. clean water tank and a 10-gal. waste tank. I cleaned after work and on the weekends for three years at $10 a room. 

In 1991 I moved to Utah from Southern California where I was born and raised. I started my business in 1994 cleaning again with my portable. In 1995 I bought my first truck mount; it was from Bridge Point in Salt Lake City.

1998 was a good year when I married my sweetheart, Judy. We had a son, C.J., in 1999 who periodically works with me after school. Judy is the bookkeeper for the business and sometimes helps me with the carpet cleaning. In 2001 we were blessed with a daughter, Baylee, and in 2005, a son, Bobby. We love boating and ice fishing as a family. 

Our expertise in doing big commercial jobs allows us, often, to work with other carpet cleaners that are owner/operators -this leads to sharing ideas and work with other carpet cleaners, it has been helpful over the years. In addition, we work with general contractors when doing a water loss.

Vendors that sell the equipment and chemicals provide a partners-in-service situation that enables valuable learning tools. For example, it is important to know the ingredients in the chemicals and how the chemicals work. Bridge Point, now Interlink Supply, helped me learn how to use all their chemicals and equipment. When I had a problem, I could call them and they would help over the phone or come out to my job site to help me. I have even called Pro’s Choice, and they would help me over the phone. Now, sometimes I call John at Superior Cleaning Solutions in Orem, UT. He is very helpful.

I have taken classes in carpet cleaning, tile cleaning, carpet repair and reinstallation, odor control, water damage restoration and upholstery and fiber identification from Pro’s Choice. Also, spot and stain cleaning classes from Bridge Point.

1994-2004 I worked at Smith’s Food and Drug at night and cleaned carpet during the day. Resigning from Smith’s in 2004, I started working at my own business full time.

I bought all truck mounts from Bridge Point:

1995 Pro Chem 100A

2001 White Magic Pro 1600

2005 Hydro Master 427, and started using a RX20

2006 Van 4.7 Hydro Master PTO unit

2008 Blue Line Thermal Wave II HP

2012 Pro Chem 405 Performer

2006 Silver Eagle pressure washer on a trailer

From 2001-2005 many customers had asked me to help them with their water loss problems. In 2005 I started buying different types of fans and Dehues, and I took a three-day class in water damage.

In 2001 I started stripping and waxing VCT tile floors. I learned the details and procedures from a janitorial crew. However, businesses are leaning towards polished cement, now. There is still some VCT tile out there, but not much.

In 2006 I bought my Silver Eagle pressure washer. It is a heated unit with 4,000 PSI at 6 GPM. A 24-inch Whirly Bird, 500 gallon water tank, 50 gallon propane tank, 30 gallon pre-spray tank with 200 psi pump.

Over the years I continue to buy equipment. I think I own one of everything that Interlink Supply sells and have tried all of their chemicals. Every spot in your carpet needs a different chemical to get it out. There is not one chemical to get out all the spots.

I do more water damage in the winter and more carpet cleaning in the summer.

I would  like to do more pressure washing and flood work.

When I get called to clean, you get me, not just some person or employee just learning. I have been cleaning for the same people for the last 15 years- they know me and my family and they trust me. When I get to a job, they often say, “Hi Jeff, the check is on the counter, lock it up when you are done, say Hi to Judy.”

Part of our expertise is teaming up with other owner-operator carpet cleaners to do carpet cleaning jobs or water damage jobs. This way I can compete with the big water damage and carpet cleaning companies. If needed I can show up with 6 trucks or more. I have made a lot of friends in the business over the years.

Carpet Cleaning and water restoration has been a rewarding journey for me and my family.

Right now, in my box truck, I am running a Pro Chem 405 Performer and in my van, I am running a Blue Line Thermal Wave HP II.

CARPET CLEANERS IN UTAH COUNTY

If you live in Utah County, give us a call, we will make sure that your carpet is being cleaned right.

If you have dog(s) or cat(s) in your home and there is a lot of animal hair in the carpet, the hair weaves in and out of the carpet fibers. Using a pile lifter is a good way to get the animal hair out of the carpet. We would do this before carpet cleaning. 

According to IICRC standards, pre vacuuming the carpet before you start carpet cleaning is important because you need to get all the dry soil out of the carpet before get the carpet wet so you don't make mud.

It is important to pre spray the carpet to suspend the dirt and break apart the oily substance into a liquid form, so when you wash the carpet, it will make it easier to rinse away.

After you have pre sprayed the traffic areas in your home brushing in the pre spray with a carpet cleaning brush will add some agitation to break apart the soil from the carpet fibers.
