Carpet Cleaning in Manhattan Beach, CA

Most of it, yes. Dry beach sand is the main soil we deal with in Manhattan Beach. It doesn't sit on top of the pile the way ordinary dirt does. It works down to the base of the fibers and collects at the stair nosings, where feet land hardest. That grit is sharp, so it cuts the fibers a little more every time someone walks on it. We do a slow, repeated dry pass with a strong vacuum before any water touches the carpet, and we spend extra time on the treads and the edge of each step. Hot water extraction then pulls what's left. If your carpet has already been walked on with sand for years, we can remove the sand but not restore fibers that are already abraded. We'll tell you honestly which rooms are which.

Two reasons that are specific to living this close to the water. First, salt aerosol settles indoors and leaves a residue that's slightly tacky and attracts soil, so a carpet that looks clean picks up dirt again quickly. Second, if a previous cleaning left detergent behind, that residue does the same thing and compounds it. We rinse thoroughly and keep the cleaning solution light so we're not adding to the problem. Where re-soiling has been an ongoing complaint, we can talk about a protector on the high-traffic runs. Keeping shoes and beach towels off the upper-floor carpet helps more than anything we can do.
