Cleaning BY THE BOOK! IICRC S100 Standard and Reference Guide for Professional Carpet Cleaning
There are currently five methods of carpet cleaning available. We are knowledgeable in all methods of cleaning. We have found the Hot-Water Extraction method, also known as Steam-Cleaning, to be the most thorough process of removing contaminants, and this is the primary method of cleaning that Steam A Way chooses.
To achieve maximum cleaning, certain procedural guidelines must be followed. That is why there are industry standards. Unfortunately, many companies avoid the necessary steps in the cleaning process because they are always in a hurry to arrive at their next scheduled appointment. Steam A Way never overbooks a job, so that the necessary time and care is taken at each home or office to ensure the highest degree of soil removal.
We believe that each step in the cleaning process is as important as the next one. In fact, cleaning by the book will keep your carpet and furnishings cleaner longer than what other cleaning companies offer. This is what separates Steam A Way from its competitors.
"I just want a BASIC steam-cleaning!"
Sorry! Nowhere in any IICRC Standards does it reference the word "Basic" Steam-Cleaning. This word has been misused and misrepresented over the years by coupon-cleaning companies that use "low-ball" prices to get you, the consumer, to call them first! Then they raise the price of cleaning when they arrive. Regardless of whether you agree or not to the price increase, the level of service is always very poor.
"Normal" and "Restorative" are the terms used in the IICRC Standards, and indicate a very different meaning to the definition of clean.
