Hiring a Professional Carpet Cleaner In Naperville

What to Look for When You Have Your Carpets Cleaned

Rug cleaning


With the many carpet cleaning companies advertised on TV and on the internet, people often do not know how to distinguish a below-standard company from a reputable one.  Anyone can claim to be a professional carpet cleaner, but what sets a reliable and honest one from the guy who buys his detergents and cleaning powder from the local store is based on a few things. The companies that always seem to undercut the competition often hire employees with little to no background knowledge and hardly provide them with any training. Other companies clean any room for a small price, rather than by square footage (often times, if rooms are larger, the amount of cleaning chemical is decreased). Other sly companies randomly ring your doorbell or call your phone and try to upsell their brand name products and chemicals. Once you have filtered the honest ones from the bad ones, give them a call and have a technician come to your home, evaluate the status of your carpets, and quote you a price. Before signing any contract, make sure the right questions are asked:

  • What training do the carpet cleaning technicians undergo? 
  • What does the quoting price include? 
  • What type of cleaning method is used?
  • Is the business licensed and insured?
  • And the most important question: What if I am not satisfied?

               1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner guarantees any service provided in the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs will be to the customer’s satisfaction. If, for any reason, you are unhappy with the results, 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner will gladly return to your home to make sure your satisfaction is achieved.

Wondering how 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner gets amazing results and leaves competitors in the dust? Here is his 9 step process:

  • 1.      Protecting your valuables- 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner will always clean without causing any damages to your home or furnishings. We never over spray or spill. All products we use are guaranteed to be human and pet safe. 
  • 2.      We always color-test fabrics- This step eliminates bleeding or cracking of the dyes and lets us know the correct cleaning procedure to use.
  • 3.      Pre-Vacuum- This step removes almost 80% of dry particles from fabrics. Cleaning effectiveness is drastically increased when you remove dry soil prior to the wet portion of the process.
  • 4.      We treat all stubborn stains- Hard work with a gentle touch is how we remove each and every upholstery spot while preserving the integrity of the fabric.
  • 5.      We pre-treat and only use detergent- This cleans the fibers much better than just plain old extraction. We let our detergent more time to work, thur making the fabric cleaning gentle and most effective on the upholstery.
  • 6.      We extract dirt and use a special neutral water rinse- What does this mean? Well you will never have to worry about any sticky residue left behind when we leave. We use fabric fiber rinse which is an acid rinse so fabric and carpet will stay cleaner longer and spots will not come back.
  • 7.      Apply fabric protector- Fabric protector strengthens the fibers and the ability to resist future stains. This process will save you money by extending the life of your upholstery and also you won’t have to worry about having to clean your fabrics as often.
  • 8.      Speed air movers are used- Air movers protects your fabrics from water marks and staining. This step also helps to dry the fabric much faster so you can use your furniture later on the same day!
  • 9.      Lastly, we groom and set the nap- This process restores the softness in your fabric and removes any wand marks left behind from the cleaning process. Drying times are sped up and the fabric maintains an overall better appearance.


You always get a personal touch when 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner is servicing your home. Quality serviced is guaranteed and you will be satisfied every time.  Every day we work hard to be the best upholstery and fabric cleaner.

Maintaining Carpets Clean After a Pet Urine Accident

                         
Tips on Cleaning Carpets From Pet Urine

If you own pets you know how much work they are. Having a pet is just
like having a full time job. Pets require feeding, bathing, and exercising. Just
like taking care of your pets you also need to make sure you take care of
your carpeting.

Pets add additional traffic to your carpet and that can ruin the appearance of
your carpet. We know how to wipe our feet after being outside before
stepping onto the carpet but our pets do not. We know pets don’t know any
better so of course they will be messy.
Here are some tips on how your carpet can stay clean even with pets in your
house.

1. Please vacuum at least three times a week. It is a great way to remove
pet hair and keep the dirt from getting into the fibers.

2. When you have pets in the house it is likely that an accident will
occur. If your pet has an accident it is important to clean it up right
away. If you clean up the mess right away it is more likely you will
remove the whole stain leaving your carpet smelling fresh. If your pet
left a urine mess it is imperative that you start by soaking up the urine
with either towels or a wet vac. If you start with towels make sure to
push hard on the top of towel to make sure the urine gets absorbed.

3.You can use three parts warm water and one part vinegar after the
urine is removed from the carpet. Use a clean cloth and apply the
solution to the spot. You can cause further damage to the carpet if you
over saturate the carpet so be careful. Never rub a stain in the carpet.
Using clean water, rinse the spot off then use a wet vac or another
towel to dry.

4. Another cleaner you can use is baking soda. Baking soda
can help if there is still an odor in the carpet. On the spot put some
baking soda down and let it sit for a bit then vacuum it up. If you
have a dog they tend to have sensitive noses. So you need to remove
the entire odor from the carpet.

5. To remove the entire smell you need to dust your carpets with baking soda regularly. It is important to do this if you have a dog in your house that isn’t use to your carpet.
It is important to housebreak your pets. Pets will have accidents at first. If
you clean them up right away it can prevent further accidents.

6. There are some sprays that have scents that dogs do not like and these are sold in
pet stores and you can spray this on the carpet and it will work as a
repellent to keep the dog from having an accident on the carpet.

PLAINFIELD Pet Stain removal Service

odor removal


PLAINFIELD Pet Stains

As much as we love our pets, their normal functions can decimate our home’s furniture. Whether you own cement, wood, tile, or carpet flooring, urine odors will penetrate down to the floor. Even as urine dries and the liquid evaporates, the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simply cleaning the stained area will not remove this odor. In fact, the urine crystals are reactivated by moisture.  On top of the odor, urine can also permanently damage the color of your floor. The urine does this by either adding color by dying the carpet fibers or removing color by releasing carpet dyes. In the only way to save your flooring and remediate the odors is through professional cleaning. Using our deep steam and ozone combination system, 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaners offers the most extensive extraction process to assure that your flooring and upholstery is restored to like-new condition. So don’t live another day with the stains or odor, and call Plainfield’s best carpet cleaners today.

How to Clean Your Own Carpet

“Is ‘removing the worst of the dirt’ what you actually want? or do you want a ‘full clean’ ?”
A ‘Maintenance Clean’ is where a cleaner does the bare minimum to remove ‘the worst of the dirt’ and nothing else.  Carpet Cleaning  is cheaper than a full clean, because it involves a lot less work and really is only half a job. Problem stains such as Oil & Grease, Chocolate, Red Wine, Coffee, Food Colouring, Ink, Make-up and the dark ‘soot’ type dirt you get around carpet edges are not removed with a maintenance clean.

Each of those different types of stain have to be treated individually by hand, which is why using a carpet cleaning machine on it’s own will not work. You remove Red Wine for example by using an alkaline based solution, where as to remove Mascara you have to use a citrus based gel.

If a cleaner doesn’t state that they’ll do individual stain removal in addition to using their machine, then you will by default, get this inferior ‘Maintenance Clean’. 


Customers are often left disappointed with the results, because they thought they were simply getting a bargain. It’s only a Full Clean which thoroughly washes deep down into your carpets and removes ALL the in-grained dirt, pollens, fungus, allergens, smoke, fur, hair, bacteria and

“Be aware of low price ‘deals’ and offers that appear too good to be true”


DIY-Cleaning your carpet right  *By Steve Samoska
If you want to clean your home or business carpet or furniture and you cannot afford a professional steam carpet cleaner with a truck mount unit follow these rules I made to insure you won’t create a bigger mess on your carpet or upholstery.
Also don’t forget that to make sure your warranty (upholstery, carpet) you must clean with a  Professional Certified Carpet Cleaners at least every 18 months with how water extraction (steam) same thing.
1. Take your time thoroughly vacuum Make sure your vacuum filter is clean and vacuum is working properly! Many people vacuum fabrics and the vacuum is not working properly this is a common thing. Vacuum the carpet and upholstery all areas you want to clean- make sure you take your time doing it.  Most of the soil on carpets is deep down soil, dander, and pollen.
2. Place all furniture and small belongings off the carpet if you want to do the proper job. Unless your cleaning the upholstery You can leave heavy stuff and focus on the traffic patterns.  I don’t recommend this because carpet is used as a filter for dust in your home in you will still have a ton of dust in your carpet or upholstery best to move everything if you want the job done right.
3. Pre-treat the areas with detergents traffic lane cleaner. Do not use soap or shampoo products PERIOD! Your carpet or upholstery will get 10 times faster soiled and 99% of the time the spots will come back.  I always say use a couple teaspoons on powder tide no liquid ever! that is soapy. You can use your shoe to kick the spots out don’t use brushes or scrub this breaks down the fibers and wears the carpet out this will cause the stains to be set in also later if you call a professional to get them out. This is very common. When I go to a house
4. After spraying you want to leave the product dwell at least 15 minutes which should be a detergent remember those soap or shampoo products this will only damage the carpet or upholstery and cause it to wrap it re-soil and 95% of the time the spots usually come back.
5. Heat up boiling water and rinse the carpet thoroughly with the boiling water and your machine remember only use water as hot as you can get it. If you are using this to clean upholstery you can use warm to hot water that boiling thiswill make sure you have no shrinkage of material and no colors bleed. If the upholstered fabric is a woven fabric or micro suede you can use the hot water steam boiling and you won’t have to worry.
6. Make sure you start from the back cleaning the carpet and work your way out of the room this way carpet is not walked on in the fiber stand up as they dry which will make the drying time a lot quicker especially if you put fans down when you’re done which is important when you’re cleaning yourself with a smaller machine because this machine does not have the vacuum left to extract the water that is put into the carpet or fabric when cleaning your furniture or upholstery you should always make sure that you do the corners edges and round areas around arms back some couches which a lot of times this is where the damage occurs because the tools that they give you when you rent the machine do not suck the water out thoroughly and usually cause water rings that do not come out of most furniture fabrics.  
8. Make sure you use fans to dry these fabrics this is one of the most important steps. If you can borrow fans or rent them to dry your fabrics and carpet can even borrow them from family members and friends or neighbors. This will make sure the carpets don’t turn brown from being wet too long or get a mildew smell. Also this will make sure your furniture does not have water rings all over them or color bleeding this is one of the most important steps when you’re cleaning your own carpet yourself or upholstery.
Please feel free to call me if you have any questions for you need some help I would be gladly able to walk you through it.

#1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner - Pet Accident Stain Removal in Naperville, IL

carpet cleaning


We are Naperville's top carpet cleaning and pet stain removal company. 

1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner has over 20 years of experience in the fabric cleaning business. With all the self-proclaimed companies out there that claim to send “trained technicians” to your home, can you really trust each and every one of them when their training only lasts two weeks? 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner strongly believes that the only true training you can get comes from years of experience.

Pet stains and odor removal is one of the biggest markets and it’s unfortunate to say there is maybe only 3% of carpet cleaners out there that are using the right products and taking the right steps to treat the fabric or carpet so the odor is removed the first time. 1 Chicago Carpet Cleaner wants to make sure that the consumer is not throwing away their money towards a cover up job. When a carpet cleaning company uses products with high fragrance smells, the odor-causing bacteria as well as the bacteria from pet stains are still present in the fabric, carpet, and rugs. This is very dangerous to you, your family and your surroundings!

As the proud owner of my carpet cleaning company, I am only writing this because I am tired of hearing from my customers that they have had carpet cleaners arrive with empty promises and leave with thousands of excuses as to why they could not resolve the issue. What’s worse is that my customers pay big bucks to have their problems resolved! Where have all our good quality companies gone? Bottom line: greed, sales, training tactics and the like are the cause of the problem. Nowadays, every sales tactic is based on quantity rather than quality. I hear about companies sending “seasoned technicians” on 6, 7, even 12 service stops a day and I just think to myself; “I have been doing this far too long to know there is absolutely NO WAY you can honestly say you did your best job on each and every one of them!!” Half the time, the techs will spend the same amount of effort on all of those jobs because all they have on their mind is getting home because they are not getting paid enough to work these crazy 12-15 hour shifts, 6 days a week.

The owners of these companies know this but all they think about is hitting those big jobs for the week. Even if the customer complains, you’ll be lucky if they send someone out to redo the job at no extra charge because they truly didn’t do a great job the first time for a reason. Worst of all, if they send someone back for free, that technician won’t really take care of their customer because they’re not making a penny off of you, and they still have 10 other jobs for the day.


  1. Make sure they have over 15 years of experience minimum.
  2. The company must be owner-operated.  This is very important because owner operators want you to be a satisfied, repeat customer, and they want you to tell your friends & family and keep your business for a lifetime.
  3. No soap or shampoo products (this is cover up products period)
  4. Use detergents and rinse carpet with a rinsing agent
  5. Look for companies that have truck-mounted units, not portables! These truck-mounted units put out 220 degrees of true steam constantly! This will clean your fabrics unlike any other equipment and bring it to another level of clean!
  6. They explain to you the exact process on removing and treating the odor   
  7. They guarantee that if there’s still an odor, they will come back and redo the job, and if they cannot get it out, you will get a full refund.
