Find out why we been asked to care for some of the

largest & most heavily used carpets in Winnipeg.

Our Stadium, (Yes, a Nylon carpet) is pounded by very large football players, monster trucks & by hordes of rock concert fans. Below you will see some of the approximately 2,000 browns stains that Clean & Tidy sucessfully removed from this carpet.

Winnipeg's Casinos and shopping centres are in almost constant use.

We have the right equipment for some of the dirtiest walk off mats in town.

We do several bars where the mugs just never seem quite large enough.

Retail stores where there is constant foot traffic and a few spills.

We have the expensive & powerful equipment these challenges require.

Why pay contractors (who have not invested in the right equipment) to put soil attracting soap into your expensive carpet investment like this:

These pictures illustrate just how much soil attracting soap can be left in a carpet by small portable equipment . This major Winnipeg Mall had paid 'professional cleaner's to fill their carpets with soap. We are regularly asked by carpet Mills to correct carpet complaints caused by poor maintenance.

Don't take our word, check the carpet manufacturers and warranty holder's web-sites..for example:

3M ( source: http://www.mmm.com/carpet/scthgrd2.html )

Carpet featuring Scotchgard protection should stay clean 2 to 3 times longer than similar untreated carpet; providing a better appearance with less cleaning. Professional hot water extraction cleaning is the preferred method because it leaves the least amount of detergent residue. If you choose to do-it-yourself, DO NOT use wet shampoo equipment. Shampooing can leave a soap residue in the carpet, which masks the Scotchgard protection & attracts & holds dirt. Frequency of cleaning The warranty requires your carpet to be hot water extraction cleaned at least once every two years by Certified carpet cleaners. Reapplying Scotchgard protector always enhances the amount of protection. It is important that you retain your cleaning receipts in the event that you need to make a warranty claim. Areas of higher traffic & soiling should be hot water extraction cleaned more frequently.

Do-it-yourself methods. Proper carpet cleaning requires experience & special equipment. Most rental or home cleaning equipment is unable to extract thoroughly the water & detergents they put into the carpet. Left in the carpet, the detergents attract more dirt, causing rapid re-soiling & the need for re-cleaning. Professional hot water extraction is the method 3M requires for your carpet. Hot water extraction This is the best method for deep-cleaning most carpets which requires the use of a machine which sprays cleaning solution into the carpet pile. Chemicals attack the soil and greasy build-up on the carpet fibers. A powerful vacuum then extracts the solution immediately. For optimal soil and stain protection, 3M recommends that Scotchgard protector be reapplied after every hot water extraction. 3M recommends using a reputable professional cleaner.

( Don't guess about who is reputable, ask any carpet dealer) - our addition.

Commercial carpet requires regular maintenance to provide a healthy environment for a long time.
