What We Clean in Inkom

Every floor and fabric surface in your home gets the same truck-mounted system. Here is what we clean and what each service covers.

How to Prepare for Your Appointment

Clear small items off the floor before we arrive. Pick up toys, shoes, plant pots, waste baskets and anything breakable on low furniture.

We move standard furniture. We do not move pianos, aquariums, electronics or full bookcases, so clear those areas yourself.

Make sure we can park within hose reach, because the equipment runs from the van. Tell us in advance about pets, allergies, delicate fabrics or a spot already treated with something, since a previous treatment changes our approach.

Wool, Silk and Synthetic Rugs in Inkom

A rug is not a small carpet. It has different fiber and is not fixed to the floor, so dye migration and shrinkage are real risks during cleaning.

We test colorfastness before applying anything to a rug. Controlled, even drying keeps the shape intact and prevents damage.

If a rug is too fragile for wet cleaning, we tell you before the job starts, not after. You get a free quote before we begin, and we never start work without your approval.

Cleaning Tile and Grout in Inkom

Grout is porous and sits below the tile face. A mop rides over the tile and drains dirty water into the joint, so each mopping adds more soil than it removes.

Pressurized cleaning with immediate extraction breaks that cycle. We flush the grout lines and pull the dirty water out in the same pass.

Sealing afterwards slows the return of soil. Sealing must come after cleaning, never over trapped dirt, or the sealer locks the soil into the grout.

Upholstery and Furniture Cleaning in Inkom

The manufacturer's cleaning code on the tag decides whether a piece can take water-based cleaning, solvent only, or neither. Ignoring that code is how a sofa gets water rings or a shrunken cover.

Body oils are why arms and headrests darken first. They need a solution that lifts oil rather than spreading it across the fabric.

We test first, then clean to the code and dry with air movers. This keeps the fabric safe and the cleaning effective.

Drying Time After Carpet Cleaning

Expect six to twelve hours of drying time in typical conditions. Humid weather slows the process because humid air already holds more moisture, so evaporation is slower.

Drying time depends on how much water we recover, not on how much goes in. A truck-mounted unit recovers far more than a portable machine, which is why a rental leaves carpet wet for a day.

Air movers, open windows and fans shorten the drying window. We cannot promise an exact time, but we do everything we can to speed it up.

Hot Water Extraction, Explained

What is called steam cleaning is actually hot water extraction. Hot water under pressure goes in, and soil and solution come straight back out. It is not steam.

Shampooing leaves detergent residue in the pile, and that residue attracts soil. That is why a shampooed carpet re-soils faster than it did before cleaning.

Hot water extraction is the method most carpet manufacturers name in their care guidance. Our truck-mounted system heats water above 200 degrees F and delivers 400+ PSI.

Vehicle and Cabin Interiors

A vehicle interior is a small sealed space with far less air movement than a room. Anything left damp turns into odor quickly.

We use the same extraction equipment, scaled down for the space, then dry deliberately rather than leaving it to air out. Boats and RVs that sit unused develop musty odor from moisture present when they were closed up, not from dirt.

The Local Conditions We Clean Around

Inkom sits in USDA hardiness zone 6a, where typical winter lows reach -10 to -5 degrees F. From October through April, road sand and fine volcanic soil get tracked into your home.

That abrasive material settles at the base of the carpet pile. Every step grinds it against the fiber, which causes wear rather than staining, and vacuuming cannot reverse it.

This high plateau farm country has volcanic soil that is very fine and works to the base of the pile quickly, even in summer. Private wells are common across much of eastern Idaho.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should carpet be cleaned in Inkom?

Twelve to eighteen months for most homes, and six to twelve months with pets or children. The worst soiling season runs from October through April, when road sand and volcanic soil come indoors. Book once that season has passed to remove the grit before it grinds into the fiber.

Will carpet cleaning remove every stain?

No, and we say so plainly. Soil comes out, but bleach marks, dye damage, burns and some old pet stains are permanent changes to the fiber. Our walk-through sorts one from the other before you commit to the job.

Is there a discount for booking online?

Yes, 10%, applied automatically. Online booking takes about two minutes and shows your exact total before you confirm. You pick the date and time, and we arrive in that window.

How does the Inkom climate affect carpet?

Winter lows reach -10 to -5 degrees F from October through April, so road sand and volcanic soil get tracked in constantly. That grit abrades the carpet fiber with every step. Humidity also slows drying because humid air already holds more moisture, making evaporation slower.
