Services
Commercial Carpet Cleaning
Our commercial carpet cleaning service utilizes portable equipment and bonnet cleaning methods for high-rise buildings and office spaces. We employ eco-friendly solutions that maintain workplace safety while achieving deep cleaning through 200F+ water extraction. Clients benefit from minimal downtime and improved indoor air quality through our non-toxic approach.
Pet Stain Removal
Specialized pet stain and odor removal combines enzyme-based treatments with hot water extraction to eliminate organic matter at its source. Our non-toxic process safely addresses urine, feces, and other biological contaminants while protecting flooring integrity. The multi-step system prevents recurrence and restores hygienic conditions without chemical residue.
Air Duct Cleaning
Professional air duct cleaning employs negative air return systems to capture 99% of airborne contaminants. Our process improves HVAC efficiency by removing dust buildup while enhancing indoor air quality. The service includes filter inspection, vent cleaning, and system sanitization using environmentally responsible methods that reduce allergens and respiratory irritants.
Tile Cleaning
High-pressure tile cleaning (200-1200 psi) with heated water breaks down grime while preserving surface integrity. Our biodegradable cleaning agents and sealing process protect against future staining while maintaining slip resistance. The service removes mold and mildew from grout lines, restoring original tile appearance with child-safe products.
Area Rug Cleaning
Specialized area rug cleaning adapts pH-neutral solutions to specific fiber types, including wool and cotton blends. Our low-moisture extraction process prevents shrinkage while removing embedded soils. The service includes edge-to-edge cleaning, spot treatment, and protective finishing that maintains rug texture and color vibrancy without chemical residue.

Questions
What makes your carpet cleaning eco-friendly?
We use Bio-Kleen products with natural citrus extracts and 200°F+ water extraction that leave no chemical residue. Our system avoids VOCs, synthetic fragrances, and harsh solvents while maintaining EPA-compliant waste disposal.
How does your pet stain removal work?
Our three-step process combines enzyme treatment to break down organic matter, hot water extraction for complete removal, and pH-neutral rinsing. This eliminates both stains and odors at the molecular level without toxic chemicals.
Do you service commercial properties?
Yes, we handle offices, medical facilities, restaurants, and government buildings using portable equipment and bonnet cleaning methods. Our non-toxic approach meets OSHA standards while minimizing business disruption during service.
What areas do you service?
We operate in Portland Metro, Vancouver WA, and select locations in California and Hawaii. Our mobile units cover Tigard, Beaverton, Gresham, Hillsboro, Aloha, Clackamas, and surrounding communities within 50 miles of our main offices.
Can you clean upholstery?
We clean all fabric types including microfiber, wool, and cotton blends using low-moisture recirculation tools. Our process removes stains without over-saturation, achieving 1-3 hour drying times while preserving fabric integrity with natural cleaning agents.
Are your services child-safe?
All treatments use non-toxic, hypoallergenic ingredients that meet EPA Safer Choice standards. We avoid allergens, synthetic fragrances, and VOCs, allowing immediate reoccupation of cleaned areas by children and pets without health risks.
