Steam Cleaning Hazard

Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning) is a great method, but unfortunately, most cleaning companies apply too much water leaving you with a potential health hazard. So many steam cleaners think they’re doing you a favor by applying extra steam-water. They don’t realize that they’re allowing that extra water to absorb into the sponge-like pad below your carpet! Your carpet may feel dry soon after, but the pad and subfloor can take weeks, even months to dry out! This can lead to mildew odors and carpet mold below your carpet!

Why Choose the SaniVive Method

SaniVive combines the benefits of steam cleaning and dry carpet cleaning, but without either of their liabilities. Steam cleaning can leave carpet and pad dangerously wet. Dry carpet cleaning can leave a lot of dirt behind. Our exclusive SaniVive method cleans your fibers twice using Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning) and dry-pad absorption (dry cleaning). And with our oxygen additive, your carpet will look cleaner, brighter while eliminating common carpet stains and odors. SaniVive is the smartest, safest method available.

SaniVive Method

Steam carpet cleaning’s strength can be its weakness. Wetting the carpet fibers with high pressured water can leave carpet thoroughly clean. However, it can also allow water to pass through the primary backing and into the carpet pad and subfloor below. Because carpet pad is made from the same sponge material we wash our cars with, the pad can stay wet for days, even months while the carpet fibers feel dry. This can cause carpet mold and hazardous indoor environment.

Dry carpet cleaning’s weakness is its strength. Because the carpet is dry in only two hours, that means some soils remain. Post vacuuming does remove many of these soils, but without actual water extraction, it is not as thorough of a method.

SaniVive offers the benefits of steam cleaning and Very Low Moisture (VLM) cleaning without their respective downfalls. Similar to steam cleaning, SaniVive extracts soils by wet-vacuuming the carpet. After we hot water extract your fibers, we scrub the moist carpet with dry pads for additional soil and moisture removal. Once your carpet is completely dry, if any soils remain, they’re encapsulated in our natural salt-based cleaning solution. The encapsulated soils becomes a harmless white powder that is dry extracted out of your carpet when you vacuum. SaniVive cleans your carpet three ways for safe, ultra clean results without the fear of carpet mold.

DIY Home Rental Carpet Machines

We experience at least a few calls each month from people complaining about mold and mildew odors after they’ve cleaned their carpet using a home or rental carpet cleaning machine. Unfortunately many people go overboard with how much water should be applied, which leaves their carpet soaked for days if not weeks. We unfortunately cannot help them at that point and have to refer them to a water damage restoration company, mold remediation specialist, or a carpet store.

Best-Worst Way to Clean Carpet

While most people request the “best cleaning possible,” they don’t realize the liability that’s involved. How we clean area rugs at our facility is the best way to clean any textile: Soak it with water, lather it with plenty of soap, thoroughly scrub it, and completely rinse it with plenty of water. Then vacuum the excess water out and hang it to dry with speed-dry fans. This would be the best way to clean carpet if it were not permanently installed in your home.

Cleaning carpet how we clean rugs would leave it incredibly clean, but full of mold and mildew in just a few days. Installed carpet sits on top of a carpet pad constructed by recycled mattresses from the hotel industry. Yes, that multicolored pad is made from recycled beds, shoes and furniture. Once wet, carpet pad can take weeks, even months to dry out, and that’s without mentioning the wood or concrete subfloor that can hold water for over a year!

While we are not mold experts, it’s commonly known that mold favors organic material in a dark area that has been moist for greater than 48 hours. Simply put, steam cleaning is a fantastic way to clean carpet; however, if done unprofessionally, it can lead to detrimental health hazards in a home.

How the SaniVive Method Works

Hot water is one of the best cleaning agents, and the hotter the better. While we don’t use extremely hot water, we use water hot enough to allow the excited water molecules to loosen the soils attached to your fibers. We also charge the water with a completely nontoxic, soap-free cleaning agent that removes soils, oils and grime on the molecular level.

Once our cleaning solution has loosened the soils from your carpet fibers, we extract it back out with a powerful vacuum system that not only removes the soils but most of the water as well. At this point your carpet is still moist. We then scrub your carpet fibers clean with dry absorbent pads that collect additional soils and moisture.

By the time we’re done with the SaniVive process, your carpet is only an hour or two away from being completely dry. Our SaniVive process cleans your carpet both wet and dry with up to 70% less water than steam carpet cleaning! This ensures your carpet is not only clean, but that your pad stays dry and free from carpet mold.

Three Benefits of the SaniVive Method

SaniVive offers the best cleaning results because it eliminates carpet mold while delivering thorough results and faster dry times.

  1. Thorough Results: SaniVive cleans your carpet twice, both wet and dry. We first apply hot water charged with a safe, molecular cleaner before vacuuming it out with our powerful, truck-mounted system. While the carpet is moist, we scrub your carpet fibers clean using dry, absorbent pads that collects moisture and any remaining soils. You can also add our natural oxidizing sanitizer for brilliant, high definition results.
  2. No Carpet Mold: SaniVive eliminates the possibility of carpet mold, which steam cleaning often creates! Sanivive uses up to 70% less water than steam cleaning, keeping the pad beneath your carpet dry and mold-free. SaniVive cleans your carpet twice, both wet and dry, for thorough, clean results without the danger of mold growth under your carpet.
  3. Fast Dry Time: With the wet soil extraction and dry pad absorption, your carpet goes through a series of cleaning cycles that leaves your carpet thoroughly clean and nearly dry when we leave. Your carpet is dry within an hour or two after our SaniVive carpet cleaning. No more walking on towels or in plastic bags. You can stretch out on your freshly cleaned carpet just hours after our SaniVive service.

SaniVive takes the worry out of keeping not only your carpet clean and mold-free, but less emissions in your neighborhood. Sanivive uses All-Spray carpet pre-spray, a nontoxic, soap-free detergent that is free from solvents, VOC’s, sticky soap residue, fragrance and dye-free. Plus, All-Spray is also completely pet safe.
