Our
Exclusive Process
The
CitruSolution
Carpet Cleaning Process
uses a citrus-based solvent cleaning solution that is
manufactured exclusively for us. This outstanding formula eliminates
the residual problems caused by steam, shampoo, and Chem-ical
cleaning, so your carpets stay cleaner longer. We begin with
a pre-spray of the entire carpet with the CitruSolution using
a 5-gallon backpack sprayer. We then use a rotary machine with
a dirtnapper system. This bonnet and brush system cleans the
carpet fiber and wicks up debris from deep with in the carpet.
We finish by using a Lindhaus
vacuum to dry vacuum the carpet. We use a Lindhaus because of
what it picks up as well as how well it keeps dirt and particulates
in it’s filtration systems. We clean this way because it Cleans
Better, Dries Faster, Stays Cleaner Longer, and Smells Great!
Why
Citrus? We
believe our citrus solvent cleaner is a healthier, more effective
way to clean and protect your carpet and furniture. It has the
ability to maintain the appearance of carpet and furniture,
and at the same time minimize allergens in the carpet. The CitruSolution,
when combined with an antimicrobial, has provided relief from
allergy symptoms for many of our clients. Mildew problems can
be reduced, and reactions to dust
mite residue will be lessened. You take your fine clothes
to the dry cleaner to avoid damage caused by soap and water.
We use CitruSolution for the same reason. The citrus is
very effective against grease, soils, pet stains, and fights
yellowing and oxidation that can dull your carpet. CitruSolution
cleans and treats you carpet without leaving a sticky, soapy,
or chemical residue. If you think soap or chemicals are good
for your carpet, the next time you shampoo your hair, don’t
rinse and see how well it works!!
How does the citrus clean?
CitruSolution is a dry cleaning fluid process
with a twist of lemon, orange, and grapefruit. Our cleaner is
powered by Mother Nature. It is a citrus solvent extracted from
citrus peels called d-Limonene.
What
is d-Limonene?
It is a major component extracted from citrus
rinds. The rinds and pulp are sent to an evaporator and the
d-Limonene is steamed out. It widely known for it’s pleasant
scent and degreasing properties. d-Limonene is currently being
used in many applications such as chlorinated solvent replacements,
hand cleaners, and sewage treatments.
The
environmentally safe solvent.
Since d-Limonene solvent is extracted from natural
resources (i.e. orange, and lemon peels), the solvent does not
add any materials into the environment than what would occur
naturally. Therefore, it does not contain any ozone depleting
chemicals. Using naturally derived solvents such as cleaning
agents, is an excellent source of ozone reduction. D-Limonene
is biodegradable too. An important issue to water treatment
plants and everyone who drinks water.
How
often should I clean?
We recommend cleaning your carpets at least once a year. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends having them
cleaned every 6 months if you have pets, small children, or
spend a lot of time on the carpet.
Is
my carpet dirty?
Carpeting
is beautiful and beneficial, but it also collects pollutants
very effectively. This unhealthy material enters our homes in
the air or clings to our clothing, fur, or feet. It settles
into our carpets and onto upholstered surfaces just like a furnace
filter collects dust and airborne particles. Once saturated,
our furnishings start "spilling" contaminants back into our
indoor environment. The fact that our homes today are tightly
closed, highly insulated environments adds to the problem. We
end up thoroughly exposed to unhealthy contaminants. You may
have noticed a dark line around the edge of your carpet? That’s
mildew and other contaminants building up. Only CitruSolution
can stop, and often times remove this build up. In addition,
there are organic materials in our carpet that can affect those
of us who suffer from allergies. Organic deposits found in our
carpets can include food crumbs, beverage spills, dead skin
cells, hair, dead insects, insect droppings, residues from heating
and cooling, pet soil, and other "biogenic" wastes. This biological
debris provides a breeding ground for microorganisms like bacteria,
viruses, fungi, dust mites, and mold. Regular cleaning reduces
and controls biocontaminants. The next time you see a carpet
installer, ask him how much dirt he cleans up after he takes
out the old carpet. On average, the old carpet will be one
pound heavier per square foot! That additional weight is
the soil that is migrating through the fiber and backing.
But I don’t SEE
any dirt?
The indoor air is chocked full of harmful pollutants, 200% to
500% higher than outdoors! Dust-mites thrive in this filth deep
down in the carpet. It is invisible to the eye but very visible
to the arteries and lungs. Every time someone moves across the
carpet they stir up these pollutants into the air, and can stay
there for an hour or more. The average active home will always
have these particles in the air, which is especially harmful
to people with asthma and allergies, but not good for anyone,
allergies or not! During cold seasons this helps keep people
sick. As we all know your kids spend a lot of time on the carpet.
This is why we believe carpet cleaning is foremost a health
issue and secondarily an appearance issue.
Do you only do laundry, or have your teeth cleaned when
you SEE something?

Possible
Problems with other Carpet Cleaning Services:
BAIT & SWITCH
How many times have you been quoted one price over
the phone only to have it change when the carpet cleaner arrives
because of spots, or heavily soiled areas? Or maybe because one
of the members of your family has four legs? Or have you been
sold extras only to be disappointed with them? Have you noticed
a carpet ad where a company has one price, but has six or seven
different prices IN THEIR AD? Did you have a coupon or special
for the entire house for $50.00, only to be charged two, three,
four, or more times that? When you ask for an estimate you are
allowing the company to charge you whatever they want. All you
asked for was an estimate, or about what it would cost. CitruSolution
of Suwanee donsn't give estimates. We give EXACTIMATES! If you
choose a company other than CitruSolution, and you are concerned
about pricing. The only thing you can do is once the technician
arrives, walk them through your home. Show them all the areas
you want cleaned, and tell them, "I was quoted $$$.$$ over
then phone, so I'm going to make out the check before your start."
That is PROBABLY the only way you will be able to avoid getting
charged more.
---> Unlike the some, CitruSolution honors
its pricing policy and phone quotes. Once you've decided how
many areas you want to clean you can make your check out before
we even arrive. Ask other carpet cleaners if you can do that for
them!
OVER-WETTING
Molds are always present in the air and typically grow and flourish
in damp, warm, poorly lighted areas, or where air circulation
is poor. Using a “truck-mounted” wet, soapy process can cause
mildew. If you had a hole in your roof that let as much water
in as traditional carpet cleaning does, you’d be calling your
insurance agent. Truck mounted cleaners are injecting up to ten
(10) gallons of water into your carpet and at most are only able
to get out about eight (8) gallons. That’s a lot of water left
in your carpet!!
---> The CitruSolution cleaning process only uses the amount
of water Mother Nature intended within the solvent extracted from
citrus peels.
RAPID RE-SOILING
Shampooing or steam cleaning carpet is like shampooing your hair
without rinsing! Does that sound like a good idea? Think about
it. When you get soap in a sponge, does the soap rinse out easily?
You generally have to hold it under running water, and squeeze
it several times. Your carpet is now covered in a soapy, sticky
residue that traps dirt, dust, pet dander, dead skin cells, and
thousands of other particles (allergens, dust mites, etc.) This
is one reason why your carpet re-soils so quickly. Another reason
is the water that was left in your carpet wicks up as it dries.
This wicking process brings to the surface the stains/spots that
were forced deep into the carpet within about two (2) weeks.
---> The CitroSolution process is not a shampoo and uses
a minimal amount of water.

Helpful
Tips
Dust
mite allergens can affect us all. They can be harmful to the young,
old, infirm, and everyone in-between. Major universities, health
organizations, and the EPA warn us against the harmful effects
of exposure to dust mites, and their allergens. Dust mites have
a significant role in many asthma cases, and are a factor in hay
fever and various other allergic ailments. Most people in homes
across America and the world share their environment with common
house dust mites. They are microscopic Arachnids, and members
of the same family as spiders and ticks.
Dust
mites main diet consists of human skin that we all slough off
naturally every day. Dust mites live in our carpets, clothes,
furniture and bedding. Most homes have literally millions of these
creatures, both alive and dead. So it's not surprising that most
household dust consists largely of human skin, living and dead
dust mites, old dust mite skins, and dust mite feces. UGH!
What can we do about it? There are many steps we can all take
to help eliminate dust mites, and make our homes healthier places
to live.
· Clean your carpets! CitruSolution is a natural anti-allergen.
CitruSolution contains d-Limonene, a naturally occurring extract
of citrus peels. d-Limonene has been proven to destroy Dust Mites
and many other common allergens that cause respiratory distress.
· VACUUM, VACUUM, VACUUM. We can't stress this enough. When you
vacuum your carpets you remove live and dead dust mites, and also
their source of nourishment - dead skin.
· Reduce the humidity in your home. Dust mites cannot drink, so
they can only live in humidity higher than 50%, and they thrive
in humidity over 70%.
· Clean your bed linens often - in hot water - at least once a
week.
· Vacuum your kitchen and hard surface floors at least once a
week.

Benefits
When your carpets are cleaned using the CitruSolution
Carpet Cleaning Process they are more than just clean. Our cleaner
contains a natural occurring citrus product extracted from the
peels of oranges, lemons, and grapefruit, d-Limonene. D-Limonene
has been proven to destroy dust mites and many other common allergens
that can cause respiratory distress.
THE
EPA LISTS INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ) AS THE
4TH LARGEST ENVIRONMENTAL THREAT TO OUR COUNTRY.
Most Americans spend 90% of their time indoors. Levels of pollutants
may be 200% to 500% higher indoors than outdoors, even in cities
with a lot of air pollution. The indoor air is full of harmful
pollutants. Dust mites thrive on the gunk deep down in the carpet.
It is invisible to the eye, but very apparent to the lungs. Every
time someone walks across the carpet, the pollutants are released
into the air. It can stay airborne for an hour or more, so that
the average home will always have these particulate in the air.
This is especially harmful to those with allergies. This is why
we believe carpet cleaning is foremost a health issue, secondarily
an appearance issue.
Is your house making you sick? If you suffer from allergies,
colds and flu-like symptoms more often than seems normal, try
this simple test. The next time you leave your home for a few
days, keep a diary describing how you feel. Monitor your physical
condition for several days before, during your absence, and after
you return. If your symptoms abate while you're away, but reoccur
upon your return, you may have issues with indoor air quality.
Dust mites, allergens, and other irritants can be pervasive in
all homes, and you need to develop a comprehensive strategy to
maintain your home's healthy environment. Daily vacuuming and
timely carpet cleaning can be part of your overall defense against
indoor irritants.
YOUR
CARPET IS A GIANT AIR FILTER, AND IT NEEDS TO BE CLEANED.
According to the Allergy and Asthma Foundation of America (AFFA),”the
role of carpet has been scientifically proven to trap many of
the allergens which trigger allergies and asthma and keep them
out of the breathing zone to help alleviate problems for those
who suffer from these conditions...” CitruSolution creates a citrus
barrier between those allergens in the carpet and the clean air
you should be breathing.
Looks are deceiving.
A U.S. Government website states, “Clean for health and safety
first, not just for appearance. Appearances can be deceiving.
Dirt, film, grime, and other contaminants that can’t be seen should
nevertheless be cleaned because pollutants will migrate within
the building and diminish indoor air quality.”
Allergies & Asthma. The AAFA also states that
“…one in every 5 adults and children suffer from allergies.” Learning
how to control your home’s environment and reducing allergen levels
are important in managing these increasingly common conditions.
By having your carpets professionally cleaned by CitruSolution,
you are taking an important step towards reducing these allergens!
