Why Clean?

Benefit

Life of Your Carpet

Dirt and grime are destructive to carpets.
These agents act like sandpaper and wear down the fibers of your
carpet faster than it should.
Albemarle’s cleaning services will clean
your carpet in accordance to industry standards specified by
all carpet warranties. Extend the life and look of your carpet.

Health

Remove Pollutants. Carpeting and fabrics
not cleaned and properly maintained have the potential to cause
a variety of health problems inside the home and workplace.
Your carpet is gently but thoroughly deep
cleaned with our rotary scrubbing and state of the art truck-mounted
cleaning equipment to leave your carpet investment clean, spotless,
odor free and healthy again. Healthier indoor air quality.

Appearance

Maintain and protect the original look and
luster of your carpet with regularly scheduled cleanings and
repairs. Save time and money.
Albemarle’s goal is to make your carpets
look and stay vibrant as long as possible, while using cleaning
agents that are safer for you, your carpet, and the environment.

How often should I have my carpets cleaned?

Most carpeting manufactures recommend a professional cleaning every
12 to 18 months depending on the type of style and warranty requirements.
