The Services in which the Beverly Hills Carpet Cleaners provides have proved though the years to be one of the best quality textile cleaning services in Los Angeles. Our extensive 4 step non-toxic zero residue extraction procedures have provided the traction of our business success. The cleaning method involves removing 100% of the non-toxic chemicals which have been applied to the carpets, rug and/or upholstery by a double extraction procedure. This method is a lengthy process, which many cleaners do not implement into their procedure simply due to sole focus on time efficiency.

1-2 Reduction or Eliminating the use of toxic chemicals.
As Mentioned in the above paragraph, we offer a variety of carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning services, although all services are with 100% non-toxic detergents, following with a chemical free extraction. This extraction withdraws all and any remaining detergent residual. Also to ensure this 100% withdraw, we extractor and Dry the Area for a 4th time to ensure this guarantee.

1-3 Reduction of solid waste by reducing use of material and/or by recycling.

On this particular subject we truly offer the most efficient water and energy reduction services in the industry, to start our all out equipment I power driven not fuel driven. The “extractors” (carpet cleaning machines) all run on 10 amps or less. In early 2000, our equipment’s motors have been upgraded to a newly developed 3 stage, vac systems made by lamb industries. These innovated 3stage vacs offer 90% moisture life but operate on a top rate of 10 amps of energy at 120 Volts. This change our equipment has offered a 25% reduction on energy usage. In regards to the water usage, Unlike truck mounted extraction units, which most carpet cleaning companies run, again we have chose on the more efficient, less expensive to operate, and more economically friendly portable units. This Choice have been beneficial to us and the environment in every way – Less power, (as listed above), Less water usage (average 10Gallons on 400 sq.ft of carpet cleaning), less chemical used and less waist water.

1-4 Conserving water and/or energy by reducing use, installing efficient equipment, ect.

One main concern in the textile cleaning industry is where do you “dump” you dirty water. This simple fact is if you run truck mount equipment the water must be removed inadvertently. There are limited options for this water to be dispersed and is unfortunately often released on the curb or just about anywhere possible. To everyone’s benefit our waste water is gathered within our “portable” extractors which are brought into the clients houses for cleaning. The waste water simply releases in to the clients toilet, not on the street cussing unsafe urban run-off.

105 Exceeding standards for environmental regulatory compliance.
Our organization has reached out to multiple supplies in search of the best detergents money can buy. Our clients often disregard price, this allows us to use the best non-toxic agents money can buy, costing as high as $ 40.00 per gallon. However, we are truly honored to be able to afford the best supplies, and benefit everyone. Name of Detergents used: Prochem, Chemspec Green and Folex, (ingredient listings and supplies contact available upon request)

1-7 Fuel Conservation and Alternative transportation and ride sharing programs
Our Fleet of cargo vans all runs on 3.2 6 cylinder engines vs. 5.7 V8 engines. Our employees on most occasions use one van on partnered jobs. The fleets of corporate cars have 4 cylinders which are most often used for job bids and supply disbursement. We strive to limit the amount of gas we use and purchase lower range, smaller engine model company vehicles. Also as a company we offer free Monthly bus passes to our office employees who chose use the MTA vs. aid the increasing traffic congestion. Our employees actually exercise this free money saving alternative.
