White Cleaning Services uses truck-mounted hot-water extraction, commonly referred to as "steam cleaning."

Even though vacuuming can remove most soil, it is also necessary to clean your carpet on a regular basis to remove the oily, sticky soil that vacuums don't remove. The particles of oily soil deposited on carpet fibers can cause dulling of colors. The color isn't lost, but is hidden under the film. Steam Cleaning removes this film.

Carpet should be cleaned every 12 to 18 months, depending on the amount of activity.

Choosing the proper cleaning system is important. Some systems may leave residues which accelerates re-soiling and defeats the whole purpose of cleaning.

The Experts Speak -
"Research indicates that the hot water extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning. The process consists of spraying a solution of water and detergent into the carpet pile and recovering the water and soil with a powerful vacuum into a holding tank. This can be done from a truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and wand brought inside or by a portable system brought into the home.
