Our Carpet Cleaning Steps
Pre-Cleaning Inspection
Your technician will thoroughly examine the carpet, locating areas of concern such as stains or odors.
Factors which will be considered are; carpet type and construction, overall condition of the carpet and source of the problem.
Our years or research and development help us determine the best solution for your unique situation.
Vacuuming & Spot Treatment
Vacuuming is the most important step in the pre-cleaning process because dry soil damages the fiber surface of the carpet and lint, pet hair and other debris can become deeply embedded.
This enables the spot or spill treatment to better penetrate the area of concern.
Agitate & Extract
After moving light items such as end tables, floor lamps and chairs, applying our kid and pet friendly CleaneR, we deep clean the carpet with a encapsulation extraction process.
*If needed, this is when Uh-Oh Accident CleaneR is applied.
Agitating and extracting the carpet fibers allows us to remove even the smallest of dirt and allergen particles without the use of harsh chemicals and leaves no residue behind.
Protection & Walk-through
After cleaning, you may apply a carpet protection which will increase the life and beauty of your carpet by making spots and spills easier to remove.
A final walk-through insures your 100% satisfaction.
Your technician will leave you with a free bottle of our CleaneR. (Re-ordering CleaneR is free within 1 year of service.)

"Clene Start came highly recommended by our carpet installer to take care of renovation dust and they lived up to our expectations. They were able to schedule us quickly and arrived exactly when promised. The service tech was knowledgeable, though and extremely pleasant. The cleaning went quickly and as others have mentioned we were given a bottle of cleaner, scrub brush and bag of treats for our pup." .

"I’ve used Clene Start since moving to Dawsonville in 2007 primarily to remove cat using stains and smell from carpet. We moved to Cumming 4 years ago and today is the 4th visit to our home to clean carpet and a wool rug. Their service is unparalled with me being able to schedule appointments that are convenient for me and their technician is very customer service oriented. I am a very satisfied customer and will continue to use Clene Start for my carpet and wool rug cleaning needs."

"Clene Start did an excellent job cleaning my carpets right before listing my home for sale. Not only that - but they also did a great job stretching some carpet areas and cleaning my white sectional. Everything looked sensational when the job was completed. And Britney was wonderful on the phone answering questions and scheduling everything!"

"We have used this company for over 15 years. They not only do carpets and rugs, but they will clean your dining room chairs and your other upholstered furniture. The technicians are always professional. They show up on time, they are not afraid to work with animal spot issues. They are also flexible. I will sometimes increase the scope of work while the tech is on the job. (adding a carpet or the stair runners). They never complain. We have no intention of changing companies. The rates are clearly defined and reasonable."
