People are often aware of “high traffic” areas in their home, such as a hallway, stairs, or living room that is commonly used. But what about the high traffic areas in commercial buildings? One area of flooring that gets a very large amount of traffic is the entrance to a condominium or apartment building, with residents going in an out all day. Though tile is often a good choice for flooring in this area, it gets very, very dirty!
Below is a video of the tile floor in an entrance to a condo building in Edmonds, WA that we recently cleaned. It had only been two years since we last cleaned this floor, but you can see the heavy build up of soil that happened in that short amount of time. You can see details of our thorough tile cleaning process here.

This is a question we get asked very often by our carpet cleaning clients. Due to our state of the art cleaning process, we can remove virtually any spot from carpet…except for bleach. Unfortunately, the bleaching effect isn’t actually a stain- in fact, it’s actually a removal of dye from the carpet fibers. So rather than cleaning a spot out, there’s nothing there to clean, the color is just gone! So whether it’s carpet, upholstery or area rugs, the bleach is there to stay.
This is one part of our service that exemplifies our commitment to transparency: we will spend as much, if not more, time telling you what spots we can’t clean out of your carpet, upholstery or area rugs than we will telling you what we can get out. This is because we don’t want to over promise how amazing your carpet will look (even though it will if we clean it), we want to give you realistic expectations and an honest assessment.
However, even if we can’t get all the bleach spots out, we can still vastly improve the look of your carpet (see the photos below from a recent job we did in Seattle!). This was a rental house where the tenants got the carpet extremely dirty, but thanks to our high end carpet cleaning process with hot water, we were able to get just about every spot out! Our client is thrilled that she doesn’t have to spend money replacing the carpet now that they are back to an acceptable state for her next tenant. Clean carpet is very important when moving into a new home, so we want to ensure our clients can offer that at an affordable price.
We’ve all been in that position- down on your hands and knees, scrubbing the grout lines of our kitchen or bathroom floor with no end in sight. Sure, it might look decent when we are done, but is it really worth spending a weekend or entire evening doing this? Not only is it exhausting, but it’s also never going to look as good as hiring a true professional!
So what is a true professional? Someone, like us, who has powerful and state of the art truck mounted hot water extraction cleaning machines. These units are mounted inside of a van and provide superior heat, pressure and extraction power to the smaller portable units that some companies use. So rather than just applying a solution, scrubbing, and wiping it up, machines like ours will truly pressure wash and thoroughly extract all the dirt, grime and soap scum from your tile and grout. We use up to 240 degree water, along with 1000 psi pressure, and extraction power that is 4x more powerful than a high end Shop Vac! Whether it’s soap scum build up on shower tile, greasy kitchen grout, dirty outdoor tile on a patio or walkway, or virtually any other tile and grout combination, our machine can handle it.
Our process isn’t just the machine though! It’s the powerful, effective, AND non-toxic products we use. Just like with carpet cleaning, we have spent many hours researching and testing different products. The ones we have landed on are safer than what the competition uses, as well as more effective! If you are looking to save money by not buying new tile and grout, but also save time by not doing it yourself…that’s what we are here for. Our tile cleaning photos speak for themselves- just see below!
Many of us have been faced with this dilemma. Whether it’s a spill from Gatorade, Kook-Aid, or another brand, red juice stains are often though to be permanent. We have good news for you though- they’re not! We have a very effective process for getting red juice stains out. In fact, we have never encountered one that we did this process on that wouldn’t come out!
In order to remove red juice stains in carpet, we have to do something different than our normal hot water extraction process. We use a product that actually alters the dye to make the red dye unstable, then we apply a damp towel and a hot iron. Checking about every 30 seconds, we watch as the red stain transfers into the towel and disappears from the carpet. It’s an amazing process to watch, and you can see our great results from a cleaning we did in Sammamish below.
Sometimes you don’t notice something needs to be done until someone points it out for you. We were in a client’s house to clean the couch the other day, and asked if there’s anything else they would like done while we’re there. They said, “Well, I suppose these chairs could use some freshening up.” Little did they know we could get them looking so much better (see below)!
First of all, we will never pressure a client to have us do more than they want to. We don’t “upsell” and we don’t use any high-pressure techniques to get you to spend more money. It’s your money, your home or office, period. Not ours.
That being said, we always will make suggestions based on our expertise and professional experience for what would be best to protect your investments and keep your home or office clean and healthy. Whether that’s cleaning a couch, chair, carpet, tile, or hardwood, every place is different. Our cleaning services are customized just for you! Perhaps our morning client in Edmonds just needs carpet cleaning, our Lynnwood upholstery cleaning client wants a little tile cleaning done also, and our afternoon client in Shoreline needs a professional hardwood floor cleaner.
This is a commonly asked question in our industry, yet it’s no that should not have much debate around it. Many times, tile installers will not seal the grout because it’s not technically part of their job and is perceived to be a waste of time. However, sealing grout is extremely important, and there are a few helpful details to know.
The first thing we should get out of the way is epoxy grout. Epoxy grout is not very common because it is very expensive and very difficult to install. However, the benefit of epoxy is that it never needs to be sealed! It’s essentially impenetrable, much like ceramic or porcelain tile.
When it comes to common grout types, sealing the grout, especially after cleaning, is very important. The most common type of grout is called cementitious grout. As the name suggests, this grout is made up of cement, as well as sand. Over time, acidic soils (especially around men’s toilets) will eat away at the grout and cause permanent damage. However, if a proper sealer is applied every 1-3 years, depending on use, the life of the grout can be prolonged exponentially. If you hire a professional to clean and seal your grout, make sure they are using a high quality sealer that protects from the inside out, rather than leaving a film on top.
With natural stone, such as marble, travertine or others, it is very important to also seal the tiles in addition to the grout, since the stone is porous. With ceramic tile, it is only necessary to seal the grout lines.

As much as we love our pets, I think I speak for all of us when I say that I hate finding dog hair all over my house. It gets embedded in the upholstery, hair balls pile up in the corner, and it gets all over my kids!
When it comes to keeping the carpet clean, pet hair can be a challenge. Even if you have a higher end vacuum like a Dyson, Shark, or otherwise, some hair (and other soils) get so embedded into the carpet that they can be extremely difficult to remove without proper equipment.
Here’s a trick some homeowners don’t know about: go to a carpet cleaning supply shop, or go online and find a carpet rake (pictured below). You can use these before vacuuming to pull the deeply embedded hairs out of the carpet!
In order to remove even more hair and debri from carpet, we use a counter rotating brush machine. This tool has spinning brushes that penetrate all the way to the backing of the carpet and pull deeply embedded hair and soils out. The picture below is just after using our counter rotating brush machine on the carpet in two rooms at a home with two small dogs…and that’s also after vacuuming! Sometimes you can’t even see all the hair and dirt that’s deep down, affecting the air quality in your home.
If you are having trouble keeping up with your pets, let us come in to do a deep carpet cleaning and improve your air quality!
