The CitruSolution Process
The CitruSolution Carpet Cleaning Process begins with a complete pre-spray of the carpet with our exclusive citrus solvent based product. We then use a rotary brush system to clean the carpet, and finish with a complete vacuuming with an Lindhaus Vacuum. The key to this cleaning process is in the remarkable cleaning ability of the citrus solution that repels the dirt and most stains from the carpet fibers without using soaps, shampoos, or harsh chemicals.
CitruSolution is a dry cleaning fluid process with a twist of lemon, orange, and grapefruit! Our cleaner is powered by citrus cleaning agents extracted from citrus peels. You take your fine clothes to the dry cleaner to avoid damage caused by soap and water; the same should be true when cleaning your carpets.
Cleaning your Carpet
First, we spray the carpet with a light mist of the CitruSolution - enough to make the carpet fibers slightly damp. It takes approximately 1/2 to 3/4 of a gallon of the CitruSolution to clean a normal-sized room.
We use an industrial buffer with a circular brush and a cloth pad under the machine to brush the carpet. This brush circulates at 3 revolutions per second and ensures that all the carpet fibers are covered with the CitruSolution. While the fibers are being brushed, the cloth pad is constantly wiping the carpet fibers and picking up the dirt and stains that are being repelled by the CitruSolution. The buffer is very heavy and the weight of the buffer presses the brush into the carpet fibers to remove any deeply embedded soil, dirt, and hair. The weight of the buffer (about 100 pounds) is an important key to extracting the dirt from the carpet.
After the carpet is brushed, the CitruSolution actively works to brighten the carpet to its original color. The carpet is still slightly wet, but will dry quickly. Note: The carpet pad is not wet - only the carpet fibers that required the cleaning.
After a few minutes, we vacuum the carpet with a commercial vacuum cleaner. This vacuum cleaner is very powerful and ensures that all the loose dirt and hair is removed from the carpet. The carpet is now clean and will dry very quickly. Most carpets are dry within two hours, and the room will retain its citrus fragrance for several days. For a normal-sized home with six to eight rooms, we will use 3 to 5 gallons of CitruSolution, and it will evaporate with a matter of hours.
The CitruSolution process does not leave any residue in your carpet, unlike other carpet cleaning services which use water extraction to remove a portion of the soap solution used on your carpet. They are never successful in removing 100% of the soap solution. Because this soap solution is not completely removed, dirt will immediately begin to adhere to the carpet fibers. The CitruSolution is constantly repelling the dirt from the carpet fibers. With a weekly vacuuming program, your carpet will stay cleaner, longer.
Cleaning Your Upholstery
Your upholstery is cleaned using the same CitruSolution used in cleaning your carpet. First, we apply a light spray of the CitruSolution to the fabric. Then, we hand-rub and use a hand buffer on the furniture. The CitruSolution is essentially repelling the dirt from the fibers, and the cloth removes the repelled dirt from the surface.
Cleaning the furniture this way is insures that it is clean and safe from any chemical residue. Normally, it will take about a half hour to completely do a sofa, and in the process, we will use about a half-gallon of the CitruSolution. The furniture is now clean and slightly damp, but will be dry in a matter of 1-2 hours.
