Find out for yourself about how VLM is the most convenient way to get your carpets cleaned, both during AND after!
Here are more details and other benefits:
Your cleaned carpet is ready to walk on in as little as 30 minutes. Low moisture also means no musty smells and no mold growth.
No VOCs and no added dyes or fragrances – perfect for those with allergies or sensitive to chemicals
No open door needed during cleaning, no open door/windows or noisy fans needed for drying – unlike with steam/truck-mount cleaning
Encapsulation traps stain & odor molecules, meaning they won’t return – unlike with other cleaning methods

I specialize in very low moisture (VLM) encapsulation cleaning using an industry-leading system that has been proven over decades. As an IICRC certified Carpet Cleaning Technician (CCT), my cleaning equipment, products, and practices are designed to extend the life of one of your biggest investments.
The biggest advantage of using way less water is the quick drying time, which allows you to quickly get back to living or working instead of waiting hours for your carpets to dry after using *high-moisture spray-extraction methods or shampooing (ex. Rug Doctor).
(*Also known as steam cleaning, truck-mount, hot-water extraction/HWE)
Low moisture also means low air humidity, which means little to no frost build-up on windows, even in winter. There is often no need to open windows to dry anything; your HVAC system should do just fine.
And the self-contained equipment means there is also no need to prop a door open to drag a hose through like you would with truck-mount cleaning – perfect also in windy weather (and if you want outside things to stay there: bugs, rodents, pollen, dust, etc.).
If your space has carpets (ex. wool) and/or people that are sensitive to chemicals, most of my cleaning products have earned one or more of the following certifications. What do they mean? Click on each one to learn more:
My cleaning equipment is also CRI SOA certified, which means the toughest at getting grime out of carpets without damaging them.
If your carpet is still under warranty, some carpet companies require the use of CRI SOA equipment and cleaners or else you will void your warranty. Please check your warranty or your carpet retailer for details. Don’t make the mistake of voiding it by using a non-certified alternative!
‘Okay, I’m sold on VLM cleaning, but why choose Neat Freak?
Aren’t all VLM companies the same?’
A machine that uses a bonnet or pad cleans only the upper surface and can even damage the carpet fibers. It also doesn’t fully remove stains and odors because it doesn’t get down to their source at the carpet backing/base. Such machines are designed for hard flooring, not carpet.
My system gently, yet thoroughly, cleans right to the carpet backing, as evidenced by all the grime that gets pulled up. Then the remaining soil particles get trapped in microscopic-sized encapsulant which is easily vacuumed away once dry.
In other words, will stains re-appear after a couple of days? Or musty, wet smells (dog, urine, smoke)?
These are common complaints after the use of *high-moisture spray-extraction methods or shampooing (ex. Rug Doctor).
With proper, industry-recommended VLM encapsulation (like that done by Neat Freak Cleaning), stain and odor molecules get trapped as well. Once they’re vacuumed away, they’re gone – vanished – “outta there.”
