The carpet cleaning business has been in Appleby’s blood from the time he was born. His father, Seymour, started a rug carpet plant in 1955 that originally resided in Russell City, now Hayward, before it was lost to fire. Subsequently, Seymour started an on-location carpet cleaning business, but in late 1970s, he wanted a career change and began pursuing a law degree.

Vacuuming
Does it work? Of course it does. That’s why most textiles have protector on when you buy them. After cleaning, we will reapply these stain blockers to continue protecting your carpet, rugs and upholstery from harmful spills and accidents. We only use DuPont Teflon. This non-stick technology will make your vacuuming more effective too.
Dusting
All our rugs are assessed, tested for cleaning, logged and photographed. We begin the process by using a large dusting machine to remove the sand and many other dry particulates. Every rug is then hand washed and cleansed until the water runs clear. The rug is then placed in a centrifuge where it is spun and rinsed again. Clean rugs are then hung over night in our temperature regulated drying room. Any final touches are finished the next day.

Our large vacuum is specialized for air duct cleaning and contains all the dust including very small particles, like pollen and mold spores so the process is very clean.
