How often should I steam clean my carpet?
When you have children you understand that keeping your home in order becomes much more difficult. Dust and dirt are a way of life in eastern New Mexico and I believe that under these circumstances carpets should be cleaned at least twice ayear. If you have pets, I think that 2 to 4 times a year would benefit your air quality and help control all the things that our pets bring inside with them.

All of our packages include moving the majority of furniture in the main living area. Most companies will charge you extra for this service. Beds, dressers, and heavier pieces are left in place under these pricing structures. Additional charges will apply to move larger/bulkier furniture.

Why is it important to have my carpet cleaned?
Bio contaminants, volatile organic compounds, combustion products, asbestos, dust mites, chemical contamination, outdoor pollutants, pesticides, allergens, grease and oil deposits, sand, soil, food particles, bacteria, and a host of other really gross stuff will make its way into your carpet. Quite simply, your carpet acts like a sink. It collects and filters all of the above mentioned contaminants. This collection and filtering process traps these contaminants within your carpet, which in turns cleans the air you breathe and allows you to live a healthier life. Hard surface floors may allow contaminants to "roam" throughout the indoor environment.
