Why Our Cleaning Process Works So Well
Our 9-step method isn’t just about cleaning. It’s also about deep restoration. A huge part of our success stems from the tried and tested products we use. One of our secret weapons is Grease Eater 2X. Full disclosure, the manufacturer of this product was Dan Anderson’s, owner of Anderson Certified, first instructor when he entered the business over 20 years ago. (Dan is not paid for endorsement, unfortunately).
Why We Use Grease Eater 2X in Our Prespray
Every time we clean synthetic carpeting, we add Grease Eater 2X to our prespray because it’s an absolute game-changer. It’s especially powerful on our commercial jobs, where carpets get hit with oily, greasy traffic lanes that regular cleaners just can’t break down.
- Suspends soluble dirt and lifts grease and grime from deep within carpet fibers
- Works fast – We often see bad stains disappear practically on contact
- This product allows for longer dwell time – We use Hydro Force and Blast Away for extended dwell time, letting enzymes break down grease even further
- Surfactants help distribute enzymes evenly – This means less scrubbing and better results
Why Our Process Works So Well
Our 9-step method isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about deep restoration. A huge part of our success comes from the products we use. One of our secret weapons? Grease Eater 2X.
This highly concentrated cleaning solution requires just 1 oz per gallon and features a pH of 10 for rapid neutralization. Its advanced formula acts to quickly loosen dirt with a citrus-based cleaner (D-limonene) that breaks down oil-based stains on various fabrics. Oxygen works to eliminate organic stains like coffee and urine, while heat-distributing salts ensure even cleaning performance. Additionally, naturally grown enzymes effectively digest protein-based stains and odors, all enhanced by a pleasant fragrance and crystallizers that help maintain cleaner carpets. Developed by an IICRC-certified expert, this product is engineered to cut labor costs and excel in challenging cleaning environments such as restaurants and apartments.
The best part? It’s eco-friendly and safe for families and pets. Unlike harsh chemicals that just mask odors, Grease Eater 2X breaks down grease molecules at the molecular level, making extraction easier and more effective.
The 9-step Process
If you’ve ever tried to clean your own carpet, you know it’s not just about running a vacuum over it and hoping for the best. At Anderson Certified, we take a professional, thorough, and results-driven approach to carpet cleaning. With two decades of experience cleaning carpets in both commercial and residential settings, we’ve perfected a 9-step cleaning process that ensures your carpet gets the deep clean it deserves.
1. Pre-Inspection – Identifying the Problem Areas
Before we even touch a machine, we start with a detailed inspection of your carpet. We check for stains, pet urine, high-traffic areas, and any problem spots that need special attention. Every carpet is different, so this step helps us determine the best plan of action.
2. Pre-Vacuuming – Removing Loose Dirt and Debris
A lot of people skip this step, but we don’t! Vacuuming before deep cleaning ensures we remove loose dirt, dust, and debris that would otherwise turn into a muddy mess when mixed with water. This improves the effectiveness of our deeper cleaning steps.
3. Pet Hair Removal – No More Embedded Fur
If you’ve got pets, you know the struggle of dealing with embedded pet hair. We use specialized tools to extract pet hair trapped deep within the carpet fibers so that it doesn’t interfere with the cleaning process.
4. High-Traffic Area Pre-Treatment – Breaking Down Built-Up Grime
Hallways, entryways, and living rooms take a beating from foot traffic, leaving behind stubborn dirt and grease. We apply a powerful pre-treatment solution to break down the buildup before we begin extraction.
5. Deodorizer – Making Your Carpet Smell Fresh
No one wants a clean carpet that still smells musty or stale. That’s why we apply a deodorizer that neutralizes odors instead of just masking them. This leaves your space smelling fresh and clean.
6. Stain Treatment – Lifting Tough Stains
Got wine spills, coffee stains, or pet accidents? We use targeted stain-removal treatments to lift and break down stains, restoring your carpet’s original look.
7. Steam Cleaning – Deep Extraction for a True Clean
This is where the magic happens! We use a hot water extraction method (a.k.a. steam cleaning) to pull out dirt, allergens, and stains. This sanitizes your carpet while removing everything that doesn’t belong there.
8. Additional Stain Removal – Tackling the Toughest Spots
Some stains are more stubborn than others. If any stains remain after the initial cleaning, we go back and treat them again to ensure the best possible results.
9. Final Inspection – Ensuring Perfection
Once we’re done, we do a final walk-through to make sure everything meets our high standards—and yours! If anything needs a touch-up, we take care of it before we leave.
