Experience superior results with interim cleaning.

The Science of Interim Cleaning

Interim cleaned carpets are up to 21 times visually cleaner than when vacuuming alone.

The key to beautiful, long-lasting carpets is expert cleaning and maintenance. Don't let appearance be the sole factor in your carpet's lifespan. Our guidelines ensure that your carpets remain fresh, clean, and in top condition, regardless of foot traffic or pet activity.

Recommended Cleaning Frequency

Our soil measuring system provides comprehensive solutions to all your carpet cleaning needs. /\E is a numerical measure of the total color difference between a new carpet and a soiled carpet. By measuring this, we can determine the ideal cleaning frequency, procedures, and accountability. As soil accumulates on your carpets, the color gradually changes, and /\E helps us track this change to identify the saturation point. By these measures, we recommend these cleaning frequencies:

  • Vacuum | Daily for firms; At least weekly for households

  • Interim clean | Recommend at least 3 per year but varies depending on number of persons and/or pets in home or office.

  • Deep clean | Annually for most firms; At least every 2-5 years for households.

Interim Cleaning Cost Savings

Carpet life is generally determined by how quickly a carpet visually deteriorates.

For this illustration, the value of carpet A for firm is estimated at $160,000 ($3.20 per SQFT x 50,000 SQFT). Assuming AK is cleaning once per month with regular vacuuming 5 to 7 days per week, savings based on a 12 year depreciation vs. a 5 year depreciation was greater than $104,000.

Furthermore, after restoration cleaning using hot water extraction equipment, the recovery of the carpet regularly maintained with interim cleaning is significantly better than that which does not have had interim maintenance.
