Townhouse Carpet Cleaning- Open House

7/10/2013

 
Today was an interesting day. I had a local real-estate agent ask me if I could clean the carpet of a 2100 sqft townhouse in Port Moody. She explained to me that the house was going to be put on the market by weeks end the carpets were in desperate need of a  steam cleaning cleaning. I had another real estate agent use the analogy of selling a car to illustrate  the point that home should be in tip top shape prior to being put on the market. The logic is that a person would be less willing to pay top dollar for a used car if it was dirty.  This makes sense.  The asking price for the 3 level 4 bedroom townhouse is over $800,000.

The total amounts of areas that needed carpet cleaning in this Port Moody townhouse was 11.  One of the worst areas in the house was the carpeted dinning room. Why builders continue install carpets in adinning area is beyond me.

As you can see by the pictures,  this carpet did need a professional carpet cleaning. The worst areas were directly in front of the kitchen. Because of this I decided to use a enzyme based pre-spray. Enzyme pre-sprays are excellent for food based stains, oils and greases. I also added a oxygen booster to my pre-spray because of the white carpets. An oxygen booster really makes the white in the carpet pop. 

I pre-treated some of the other spots and stains with Avenge Legendary Spotter. After I had pre-vacuumed, I pre-sprayed the entire area. I let the solution dwell for around 15 minutes. I then used my Rotovac 360i to extract with an acid rinse. As you can see, once I started cleaning my Rotovac  360i cut through the dirt and grime like a hot knife through butter!

My operating temperatures during this process was at 220 degrees and the PSI was set at 400. As is always the case,  I was sure to do many dry passes with my Rotovac 360i to ensure that the carpets would be dry within a couple hours. 

The carpets turned out great and the listing agent was happy. As an added bonus the neighbour booked me to clean her townhouse the following day.
