Achieve a Deeper, Healthier Clean for Your Floors
Your carpets are a central part of your home’s comfort and appearance, but keeping them truly clean in a place like Boise can be a challenge. From dusty summer winds to muddy spring thaws, our floors endure a lot. While regular vacuuming helps, it can’t remove the deeply embedded dirt, allergens, and grime that accumulate over time. Many homeowners believe DIY rental machines are sufficient, but not all cleaning methods are created equal. For a truly restorative clean that protects your investment and your family’s health, truck-mounted steam cleaning stands alone as the superior professional solution.
What Exactly is Truck-Mounted Steam Cleaning?
Unlike portable units or store-rented machines that you have to fill with lukewarm tap water, a truck-mounted system is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade cleaning plant on wheels. Housed within our specialized service vehicle, this equipment gives us the power to deliver results that are simply unattainable with smaller devices.
The system works by heating water to temperatures between 190-200°F, creating powerful steam that is applied deep into your carpet fibers at high pressure. This process effectively dislodges stubborn dirt, oil, and allergens. Simultaneously, a powerful, 300-horsepower vacuum extracts the hot water, steam, and all the loosened contaminants, leaving your carpets cleaner and drier than any other method. Because the entire power source and waste tank are contained within our truck, there’s no mess, no fuss, and no risk of spills inside your home.
The Unmatched Benefits of Professional Steam Extraction
Superior Cleaning Power & Stain Removal
The combination of extreme heat and high-pressure application allows us to break down tough-to-clean substances like grease, oils, and ground-in dirt that portable cleaners leave behind. This process doesn’t just clean the surface; it restores the carpet from the base of the fibers up. It’s especially effective on tough spots and high-traffic areas, revitalizing the look and feel of your flooring. When dealing with difficult marks like pet accidents, this deep-cleaning power is essential for effective pet stain and odor removal.
Significantly Faster Drying Times
One of the biggest drawbacks of DIY cleaning is overly saturated carpets that can take days to dry, creating a musty smell and providing a breeding ground for mold and mildew. Our truck-mounted system’s industrial-strength vacuum is powerful enough to remove over 95% of the moisture used during the cleaning process. This means your carpets are typically dry in a matter of hours, not days, allowing your family and life to get back to normal much faster.
A Healthier Home Environment
Your carpet acts like a giant filter, trapping airborne pollutants like dust mites, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria. Over time, this filter becomes full. The high temperatures of steam cleaning kill bacteria and neutralize allergens on contact. The powerful extraction then removes them completely from your home. This process drastically improves indoor air quality, which is especially beneficial for children, seniors, and anyone suffering from allergies or asthma. A clean carpet is the foundation of a healthy home.
Extends the Lifespan of Your Carpet
Dirt and soil particles are abrasive. As you walk on your carpet, these tiny particles grind against the fibers, causing them to break down and look dull. This premature wear is what forces many homeowners to replace their carpets sooner than necessary. Professional steam cleaning removes this abrasive grit, protecting the fibers and preserving the carpet’s integrity. Regular professional cleaning can add years to the life of your investment, saving you money in the long run. The same deep-cleaning care can be applied to your furniture with professional upholstery cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?
Most carpet manufacturers recommend professional deep cleaning every 12 to 18 months. However, for homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic, cleaning every 6 to 12 months is ideal to maintain carpet health and appearance.
Is steam cleaning safe for all types of carpet?
Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) is safe and recommended for most synthetic carpets like nylon, polyester, and olefin. For delicate natural fibers like wool, our technicians adjust the temperature and pressure to ensure a safe and effective clean. We always assess your carpet type before beginning.
How long will it take for my carpets to dry?
Thanks to our powerful truck-mounted vacuum, most carpets are dry to the touch within 4 to 6 hours. Drying time can vary slightly depending on the carpet’s thickness, humidity levels in your home, and air circulation.
Do I need to move my furniture before you arrive?
We recommend moving small, fragile, or valuable items like lamps, plants, and electronics out of the rooms being cleaned. Our team can typically clean around larger items like sofas and beds, or we can move them, clean underneath, and place them back on protective pads. Please let us know your preference when scheduling.
