Truck-mounted carpet cleaning in Toronto

Truck-mounted carpet cleaning in Toronto houses, with the machine parked in your driveway. Availability is very limited and repeat customers come first, but when a spot opens up, we’re glad to take new clients.

Houses

Truck-mounted cleaning for your house

The machine stays outside. The hoses come in.

If you live in a house, in most cases we can clean your carpets with our truck-mounted machine. It’s the most powerful equipment we own, and when it’s parked in your driveway, your carpet is getting the deepest clean we can give it.

Truck-mounted cleaning pairs steaming hot water with strong extraction, which means a deep clean and a carpet that dries efficiently. How far it reaches depends on the layout of the house, and any area the hoses can’t get to is cleaned with our portable equipment instead.

Professional carpet steam cleaning that brings quality and a bit of comfort back into your home.

The equipment

Industrial cleaning equipment

What makes a truck mount different.

Truck mount carpet cleaning in Toronto needs more than a van: equipment like this is built into a commercial truck or a trailer, and it takes a good deal of training to operate well. Ours is industrial-grade and custom built inside our own truck, and our steam cleaning staff are trained to run it. It also needs special storage and regular maintenance to stay in top shape.

What it can do

Hot-water extraction

Our steam cleaning process

Hot water in, dirt out.

Despite the name, truck-mounted steam cleaning doesn’t involve steam. It’s pressurized hot-water extraction, the only method we use on wall-to-wall carpet, in houses and condos alike.

Hot water is mixed with cleaning solution and sprayed into the carpet under pressure. Heat is what gives it the extra cleaning power, dissolving far more dirt and salt than cold water, and an industrial-strength vacuum then pulls the dirt back out.

If your carpet only needs a good vacuum, we’ll say so.

Condos and apartments

When we bring portable equipment

Where the truck can’t reach.

A professional portable machine is an effective way to get carpet clean too. We use ours wherever the truck can’t go: condos and apartments, the upper floors of some houses, and any other spot the hoses can’t reach. It also steps in whenever the truck-mounted equipment can’t be used, for whatever reason.

Our portable unit is a powerful professional carpet and upholstery cleaning machine: carpet gets a deep clean, and its vacuum pulls out enough water for fast, efficient drying. In houses, the truck-mounted machine goes a step further still, with even better cleaning results and quicker drying times.

Questions

Truck-mounted cleaning questions

The questions we’re asked most often, answered the way we would on the phone.

Can new customers book truck-mounted carpet cleaning?

Sometimes. Wall-to-wall carpet cleaning has very limited availability, so repeat customers come first. Whenever there’s a cancellation, or a spot opens up some other way, we can take on new clients. Call (416) 939-7571 to ask.

Why is it called steam cleaning?

Mostly because of what you see on the day. Pressurized hot-water extraction pushes the water through heating elements until it’s very hot, then into the carpet under pressure, and water that hot gives off a visible steam as it works. The name stuck, but it’s the hot water, not the steam, that does the cleaning.

Do you bring the truck to condos?

Usually not. For condos and apartments, and anywhere else that’s hard to reach, we bring our portable carpet cleaning equipment instead. It cleans by the same hot-water extraction method.

Can I see the result before you do the whole carpet?

Yes. We always start with the worst area and show you how it turned out. If you’re not happy with that first area, we stop there and you pay nothing. Rayon and viscose carpets are not included.

Will every stain or smell come out?

Not always. On wall-to-wall carpet we pre-treat stains and can deodorize, but we can’t promise that every stain or smell will come out, which is exactly why we show you the worst area first. Our stain and odour promises are for area rugs cleaned at our facility: see Our promises in detail.
