Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning

Carpets and upholsteries are great collectors of dust, dirt and allergens - luckily, so are we! 20th Century provides carpet and upholstery cleaning for Edmonton clients. As a flood and fire restoration company, we know how to bring carpets and upholstery back to life!

If you're a homeowner or business owner, carpet and upholstery cleaning in Edmonton not only helps your place look great, but it can also improve your health.

Our Process for Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning: Edmonton

We bring this by breaking up substances that have become worked into the fibres by using a

pre-wash spray that is safe for humans and the environment. The safest, most effective way

to clean and sanitise it is through a steam clean extraction method. Our truck-mounted, steam

cleaning system heats up to around 125 degrees Celsius. Backed by 500 pounds per square

inch of steam, this deep, steam clean kills bacteria, pulls out stains and neutralises odours.

We can clean and sterilise approximately 1,000 sq ft per hour effectively.

Stain Guards for Fabrics

Following the steam clean and extraction, we can apply a fabric stain guard, which will help

prevent future staining problems.

Odour Control

Even if an area is spotless, a lingering odour may still be present. For these tough jobs, we

use an ozone and fog process to neutralise the odours. Ozone works by attaching extra

oxygen to the odour’s molecule chain, thus neutralising the smell.

With our years of experience, 20th Century can effectively neutralize and remove the source of mold.

This is done by:

• Creating negative air pressure

• Installing air scrubbers

• Testing air quality

• Mitigating mold-damaged areas

• Building containment structures

• Removing mold-damaged materials off-site

To limit the risks posed by mold, call 20th Century to schedule an inspection.

Stop Mold Before it Begins

Within as little as 72 hours after a flood, mold and mildew can form in carpets, upholstery, and paper materials such as photos. Once mold has formed, it can be difficult to remove.

Mold will remain intact even after the moisture has been removed. The tiny spores are

much like seeds; they can lie dormant for long periods and only begin to grow with

the introduction (reintroduction) of moisture. Therefore, it is essential to remove the mold and

its spores to prevent future problems.

Mold Testing

If the importance of the type of mold is a factor in your home or office, testing can be done

to determine this. For your safety and that of the occupants, all samples are handled with

the assumption that the mold is toxic. This extra precaution helps prevent further

unnecessary contamination. Much like a dandelion, mold spores can move great distances

with only a slight passing of air; therefore, we install air scrubbers to minimize the risk of

airborne mold exposure.

Mold Testing & Removal Services

With the right knowledge and the right team, you can avoid the risks associated with mold

exposure. One of the most talked about forms of mold, Stachbotrys chartarum, commonly

known as “black mold,” has been blamed for causing symptoms of fatigue, headaches, as well

as irritation to the lungs and mucous membranes. If you suspect mold contamination,

best to have a test completed as quickly as possible.

Asbestos Abatement Services

The team at 20th Century is comprised of highly certified, trained and experienced technicians who are here to help you in instances of flood, mold, fire or asbestos. Whether you require our 24-hour flood clean up, mold, or just a mold test, our clients know they can count on the professionals at 20th Century.

Generally, structures built during the 70s and up into the 90s have a great possibility of having the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs). Asbestos fibers are very small, and the hazard is that if these fibers become airborne, they can have the opportunity to become lodged in the lungs, and they do not dislodge.

Some ACMs include: stippling on ceilings, drywall joint compound, VCT tiles and vermiculite insulation.

Specialized technicians who are trained in the removal of ACMs should be contacted to do so. They know the procedures that must be followed as well as the equipment and personal protective equipment to do the work safely.
