Oil, grease and ground-in grit in high-traffic hallways crush wool or nylon pile, leaving dark “traffic lanes” and accelerated fiber wear. Coffee spills and ink blobs can wick into backing, triggering mold if moisture isnt flushed out. We tackle these issues with targeted pre-conditioning: an alkaline spray to emulsify oils, pH-balanced detergents to break down organic spots, then a high-temperature hot-water extraction that lifts contaminants without overwetting. Rubber heel marks and rust stains get a dedicated solvent application and agitation with nylon brushes, while encapsulation polymers lock fine dust for easy post-vacuuming. A final low-moisture rinse removes any residue, shortens drying to six hours and prevents re-soiling. Our Riverside, PA crew ensures each carpets texture and color are fully restored—no sticky films, no hidden grime.
