VLM CARPET CARE & FLOORING
Star Point Eco Carpet Care is focused on reducing waste and choosing sustainable practices. That’s where VLM (very low moisture) carpet cleaning comes into play. It’s a green solution, but that’s not its only benefit. Eco-friendly VLM carpet cleaning not only improves the appearance of carpets but also enhances indoor air quality and extends the life of carpets. Our VLM cleaning process has five simple steps. First, our technicians begin with a dry extraction that involves a vigorous raking of the carpet that dislodges any particles trapped at the base of the rug’s fibers. After that, a high-powered vacuum cleaner is used to remove dust, dirt, and any other debris. Once those steps are complete, any stained or soiled areas of the carpet or area rug will be pretreated with an eco-friendly enzymatic solution. This step is followed by the VLM cleanse. Using a rotary machine, our powerful dry foam cleaning solution is massaged deep into the carpet fibers. It doesn’t soak the rug as traditional steam cleaning methods do. Therefore, carpet will be dry within one to two hours of the cleaning. Finally, our technicians complete the final grooming, resetting the carpet pile back to its original height and making it refreshed and fluffy again. As the rug dries, the natural enzymes in the cleaning solution evaporate. In no time, your carpets and area rugs will be clean and fresh smelling once again. In general, the VLM method is considered a superior carpet cleaning method. This is due to its environmentally friendly processes and its effective cleaning method that leaves rugs looking and feeling revitalized. Traditional steam cleaning comes with a cost: that is, longer dry times and a greater risk of mold and mildew. If you have a serious stain (such as one involving oil or blood), our technician will be able to advise you on the best method to handle that stain. But rest assured, that the VLM method will be able to handle almost any stain. VLM carpet cleaning uses minimal water combined with the power of natural enzymes. That makes it more sustainable, more cost-effective, and quicker for the rugs to dry. Star Point Eco Carpet Care using the VLM method will be able to remove those carpet clingers, making your home smell better and leaving you with improved air quality. When you get your carpets or area rugs professionally cleaned, you’ll be able to remove dirt and debris that cause wear and tear. If dirt and dust particles live in your carpet for a prolonged period of time, they’ll rub against the carpet’s fibers, deteriorating them. Carpets and area rugs can be a big investment – so make sure you’re protecting your investment with regular cleaning. Staying on top of your carpet cleaning can save you significant money by protecting your investment. VLM carpet cleaning uses 70% less water than traditional truck mount methods. The old traditional truck mount cleaning methods use a significant amount of water and detergent, which also leads to an abundance of wastewater that is detrimental to the environment. Unlike traditional methods, VLM doesn’t rely on detergents to loosen dirt. Instead, it uses natural encapsulation chemicals that surround and capture the dirt. Because VLM carpet cleaning uses so much less water than steam cleaning does, there’s no need to suction the water out of the carpet once the cleaning project is finished. After VLM cleaning, a carpet will dry on its own within one to two hours without any harsh chemicals or sticky residue left behind. VLM carpet cleaning can help protect you and your family from breathing in harmful microbes, dust, and dirt that often take hold in a carpet’s. You’ll get the satisfaction of knowing that you chose an environmentally friendly cleaning method built with sustainability in mind. It’s crucial to use an eco-friendly VLM carpet cleaner and follow a regular cleaning schedule. This will ultimately protect the investment you’ve made in your rugs and carpets and ensure that you’re able to enjoy them.
