Wow! Did we ever make a difference in this home! Interior pictures before/after weren’t taken with sufficient light, but cleaning the carpet and two staircases was like painting an in finished wall. VERY AWESOME.
A lot of the traffic areas had been heavily soiled AND abraded (scratched). Now there is no way to repair damage to fiber from a abrading, but, as in this case, using “Scotchgard-like” protectors can often make them fully disappear…
Jobs like this always help the old carpet cleaners self-esteem. :-).
It is sure nice when jobs show a stunning difference in appearance after we are done… not so much that the homeowner sees as much difference, but when it is awesome to us as the technicians as well!
Want one sure fire way to help select a great Doctor-Dentist-Chiropractic-Health service? Look at their facilities! Ever notice how professional services keep up their offices, exam rooms, reception areas? You can almost always count on the care shown to cleanliness reflects the goals they have in patient care.
When you walk into this dentist office, you will know this professional cares about the details!
We are in many offices every single month and the fabric floor coverings/upholstery prove the results.
So, when the concern is something as important as your health… don’t just call the office! Stop by in person to set the appointment! A quick look around will answer more questions than any phone call…
And no, we don’t clean all the health facilities in Fairbanks :-(… And, yes, even though it pains me to suggest it… there are other companies that can keep fabric floor/upholstery coverings in as good of shape as we can? :-).
Wish I had the time to take pictures of all of the birds!
Because birds are so sensitive to almost any cleaning products, our company is the obvious choice :-).
What Personality! These guys seem to love to pose for the camera!Birds and cleaners don’t usually mix! You need to be careful! Their tiny systems are very sensitive.These guys are busy moving little eating and, well, er… evacuating the food machines :-). Have birds? Call us and let us get you on a regular schedule.
Birds can make a mess!
If I had known how much personality they had when they were being photographed I would have done this with dozens… My blog will have more soon.
You probably wouldn’t think of it, but many Fairbanks area homes have some pretty unique pets. Many times these pets are very sensitive to harsh cleaning products.
How would you feel if you were just finishing a beautiful multi-million dollar building and found this repeated down 150’+ feet of hallway? Yes, it was a ‘bummer’…
Trying to go above and beyond “the extra mile”, this construction crew laid down a terrific protective covering for their beautiful newly carpeted floors: Tyvek. It was awesome except for the dyes that were transferred (process called “crocking” where dyes are essentially rubbed into a fabric)… The markings repeated as if they had run the carpet through a printing press, blue “Tyvek” follow by red “logo”. Very discouraging to the folks that had gone to such a great extent to prevent any soiling… Would be so simple to have made this error.
Anyhow, with multiple dry and damp processes… And lots of hours:

Yes, this was rewarding. Very neat to have it work out so well. There ended up being zero damage to the fabrics and no discolorations… and we have a very happy customer.
Well, another carpet slated to be replaced was saved! At no risk to the landlord, we quoted the salvage and took the risk that if our salvage cleaning didn’t renew the carpet, our cleaning was free.
What a great way to check the winter tires! New snow and lots of driving….
One layer at at time, this this carpet came perfectly clean. The landlord was thrilled to pay my salvage cleaning costs and save a few thousand dollars.
Picture with us already about an hour into the job… One layer at a time. This is yet another rental where the carpet “had” to be replaced…. We repaired burn spots, removed embedded chewing gum and asphalt, repaired dye spots, removed a heavy soil load and “Trinity Renewed” all the fabric floor coverings.
Nice building, quiet, clean …
Other than needing multiple vacuuming passes, this Moose Creek unit cleaned spectacularly and now is in perfect condition to show and rent to the next resident.
Well laid out floor plan with soon to be “Pristine Cleaned” floor coverings.
This one was destined for the trash can: our favorites! Of course there are limits, but seldom do our management companies ever need to replace a carpet anymore prior to it’s expected life.
Why replace when you can “TrinityRenew” your floors! Picture one of several in the process of renewal cleaning
Upon arrival
Removing the soiling a layer at a time and ‘hiding’ damaged fiber (scratches) as able by filling them in with an encapsulant fiber guard.
Starting to prepare the carpet for cleaning…
Salvage work often requires a lot of steps and time; almost always saving the landlord thousands of dollars in replacement cost, lost rental time, etc.
Removal of the first layers
The Trinity machines often bring soil up from down deep in the fibers rather than washing them deeper from over-wetting, our final steps of drying, grooming and vacuuming again removes those previously embedded soils (mostly insoluble).
Above: after soil removal and visually improving the abraded (scratched) fiber.
As long as dyes are not set (chemically, heat, time), they can often be removed without replacing the damaged section of carpet. The same with cigarette or other burns.
Above is the entry into the next bedroom before
Drying, grooming and vacuuming done! Bleach stains explained below.
Above is the same entry after (the bleached areas could be repaired by cutting them out/inserting a matching piece of carpet, but not worth it to the owners in this case/situation)
Like the above bedroom, this required a lot of hands/knees work to prep the carpet for salvage cleaning
Hallway before
After drying, grooming and vacuuming. This apartment was rented shortly after we finished. Happy carpet cleaner, happy landlord, happy new resident.
There we are happily cleaning a large store this morning….
Business carpet cleaning in Fairbanks is a great way to start your day :-). We arrive before the bulk of your customer traffic arrives. We can come early or late… who wants sleep when they can clean carpet with us???Yes! Can it get much better? Local businesses provide great parking for those pesky customers to walk in from … bringing asphalt oils, gravel, ice melt and all kinds of wonderful things… ALL for us!
… Then! Poof! The manager arrives in a very nice vehicle with a new 1/2 gallon of dairy creamer poured into the back seat!
Nothing quite like trying to remove dairy products from upholstery fabric and cushions… It was very handy to have us at the right place at the right time :-).
In order to solve a problem like an organic material fabric saturation like this, it takes a lot more than cleaning the surface. In fact, cleaning wouldn’t really remove or solve this spill as we don’t have access to all areas of contamination.
Just another great way to start your day as a carpet cleaner in paradise :-)!
Yes, you are correct, we fight gravity to solve almost all our fabric floor covering/upholstery covering problems. This is an example of where, without the help of an upholstery shop, the end of our “cleaning limits” is reached and we have to look to other solutions to “remove” soiling conditions.
This particular problem was solved by saturating the affected areas with bacteria that removed the soil/organics from the fabric for us… even where we couldn’t see them. Yes, we did win in this case: odor lets you know within hours/a day what was missed, if anything :-).
We are always looking for ways to improve our service, the quality of our cleaning and the security/comfort of our customers. A fellow named Stryder working at the Fairbank’s FedEx Office on 3rd street went above and beyond to help us add personal photo ID badges for all of us working in the field. Unbelievably helpful individual!
Of course I tried to hire him! Service and concern for the customer like this is more and more a rare find… Watch out FedX! He is obviously one of our coworkers displaced working for you folks! We want him back!
Here he is with our first four employee ID photo badges.
No, Styder isn’t working with us yet :-). I’ll keep you updated !
Update!!!! One of my badges was starting to separate and we had new ones to update (9/2014) AND YES! Stryder is still there!
Right away in the interim, in order to expedite things and allow me to search for the earlier thumb drive he provided us, he without hesitation grabbed the failing badge and repaired it/trimmed it, arraigned with me to solve all the issues and again provided detailed instructions that were easy enough for a carpet cleaner to understand!!
It worked first time!!!!! And now we have updated/new badges that are beeeeeeeaaaaaaaauuutiful once more!
THANK YOU STRYDER! (and, I guess FedX too :-)).
THANK YOU AGAIN STRYDER! This guy is awesome! And no, he STILL doesn’t get excited about cleaning carpets with us … bummer.
Ok, so I’m really working on becoming a computer guru!
Thank You TRSOrg.com for the training videos!

Since taking the videos, I’ve learned more specific details regarding the building use. The retiring business owner had been there for over 27 years running a fleet auto mechanics/repair business without ever cleaning the carpet. When we started, the carpet fiber was barely visible above the layers of oil, grease, etc ground into it.
We were able to salvage the carpet and the building is once again leased.
