Hot Water Extraction
Clawes Carpets uses the Hot Water Extraction method for cleaning carpets. Research indicates that the hot
water
extraction system provides the best capability for cleaning. The process consists of applying a cleaning
agent into
the carpet pile and using water in the extractor to recover the used solution and soil. This is done from a
truck-mounted unit outside the home with only the hose and wand brought inside or by a portable system
brought into
the home. Our cleaning equipment has more extraction power than the rental units available to individuals,
and the
carpet dries more quickly.
Most all warranties from the leading carpet manufacturers such as Shaw and Mohawk require that the homeowner
be able
to show proof of periodic cleaning by hot water extraction by a professional cleaning service or
do-it-yourself
system.
Our carpet cleaners are certified by the Carpet and Rug Institute.
What’s the difference between steam cleaning and hot water extraction?
People often confuse hot water extraction with steam cleaning and there is a big difference. Hot water
extraction
cleans deeply and effectively without damaging the carpet and the water is heated to 212 degrees. It is
much more
effective than steam cleaning as it gets the most amount of dirt and soil out.

Testimonials
I needed the carpet in my whole house cleaned. I contacted Clawes
Carpets based on the recommendation of my daughter. The cleaning was scheduled four weeks in advance to
accommodate my wife and my busy schedule. The two-man crew arrived at 1:00 PM and proceeded to
pre-treat the more pronounced spots and tackle the very large job. The truck mounted steam machine made
it look easy although it was a lot of work. The results were quite remarkable and my wife and I were
very pleased. They took the time needed to do an excellent job and I recommend Clawes Carpet Cleaning
without reservation.”
Fairfax, VA
We contacted Clawes to replace the carpet on the whole upper 2
levels and to stretch and professionally clean the basement carpet. The quote we got from Roy was very
competitive and the whole experience was a very pleasant one. The installers did a phenomenal job and
arrived as promised despite the 14 inches of snow we got the previous day. The furniture was put back
exactly as it was before and the installation and stretching/cleaning was done very beautifully. We are
totally satisfied with Clawes Carpet and would highly recommend to everyone shopping for flooring
installation for their homes.”

I had them perform extensive carpet cleaning in my condo. It was a
white carpet with no pet stains, but some ground-in stains. It was great. They were responsive on the
phone, they were on time, and the price was fine.”
