Have you ever had your carpets cleaned and noticed the same stains appear shortly after? This phenomenon is called wicking. It happens when stains are deeply embedded in the padding or when carpets were not dried properly. While wicking is the culprit in most cases it can also be caused by excessive cleaning agents that were not properly extracted or rinsed.

Our process and RO technology allow us to use half the cleaning agent that is recommended. This coupled with our pure water technology leave carpets in homes cleaner than expected. The most noticeable differences are:

The proper method for cleaning carpets is a five-stage process. Paneless Home Services takes a comprehensive approach to cleaning. This means we will not skip steps and will not underestimate with the intention to upsell each step needed to properly clean. We take our time to deliver quality and do not operate with a business model of low pricing and high volume. We love to educate on how to maintain cleaning results and how our process saves money because cleaning is required less often. Due to trade secrets, we can only detail our entire method with a consultation.
Sometimes the pets we love so dearly can leave behind a not so pleasant smell. Has a carpet cleaner ever taken the time to show you how many spots your pet has left? Moisture meters and urine detection equipment are used to identify the areas of concern and prove the results after treatment. Enzymes and a controlled flood method are used where appropriate to treat not only the carpet but the padding for odor removal. We carry a wide variety of solutions for stains and odors and have successfully cleaned blood, urine, and paint out of carpets. This is not always guaranteed as it is highly dependent on what products have been used and how the stains were handled prior to our arrival. However, we take pride in knowing that stains other companies have left behind, we were able to permanently remove!
Protect Your Investment
After cleaning, treating carpets with a protectant is recommended. Protectant first works to repel spills so they remain on the surface, and then helps resist dirt so that it does not adhere to the carpet and protects the fiber from top to bottom. Protectants have long been used to prolong the life of carpet and now many manufacturers treat carpet before it is purchased. However, it does break down with heavy traffic and even during a proper steam cleaning. It should be reapplied occasionally for maximum protection of your investment.
Paneless is concerned with providing sanitary and safe floors for children and pets. We have invested in the best equipment and certified technicians to clean, rinse, and extract properly.
Wondering how often you should have your floors professionally cleaned? What about the maintenance in between services? The following cleaning tips and tricks should help you avoid common pitfalls caring for all types of floor surfaces.
Hardwood, Engineered Wood or Laminate Wood Floors
For wood floors, use a light mist of water and flat mop with a micro fiber pad to clean for routine maintenance.
Stay away from any products that mention “leave a shine” on the label; these products leave coatings that embed dirt on floors and can open doors for expensive refinishing.
Schedule a professional cleaning once a year to prolong cleanliness and healthy floors. Be sure to perform routine maintenance to prevent dirt and particles from scratching the floors.
Place furniture protectors on the feet of all heavy furniture so if it’s bumped or scooted across the floor no damage will be done.
Keep rugs at doorways to help protect floors from grit and debris.
Carpet
For carpet, the recommendation is to vacuum once a week per person in the household to maintain floors. Ex: A family of 4 should vacuum 4 times a week.
Use a company that does a steam cleaning and extraction for carpet cleaning. Most manufacturer warranties require a professional cleaning at least once a year.
For spills, blot the affected area with water only. Don’t use over the counter stain removal products.
Keep a damp towel on a stain until a professional can arrive, it will keep the stain from setting.
Apply carpet protectant at least once every year to keep it protected and preserve the life of your carpet.
To remove candle wax, place a paper towel over the wax, and place a warm iron on top of the paper towel. The wax will melt into the paper towel. Repeat with clean paper towels until the wax is gone.
Tile & Grout
Don’t over use mop bucket water, it just spreads and leaves soil deposits. Always rinse with plain water to clear up any soap residue.
Steam clean at least once a year to keep floor and grout lines looking their best.
Seal grout lines to protect from staining every three years.

RO technology is reverse osmosis water that is filtered through a five-stage process. This process removes all total dissolved solids and chlorine that cause water to spot or dry hard because of minerals. Since the water is pure, it acts as a cleaning agent itself. Water loves minerals so when we remove those minerals, it wants them back. We refer to it as thirsty water. So ask yourself, what is in soil? Minerals. Now you have water that wants minerals. So we use this RO water to adsorb the soil on a window or floor surfaces. This RO water is incorporated into the majority of the services we provide.
