Low Moisture Encapsulation
As a CRI Approved Service Provider, we are not only focused on the use of environmentally safe and “green” cleaning solutions, but the use of the best vacuums, extractors, and cleaning equipment to effectively clean carpet. One of the primary cleaning methods we utilize is a low moisture encapsulation cleaning method made by Whittaker.
