One of the  IICRC six requirements prior to carpet cleaning is vacuuming. This is due to fact 90% of the soil composition  in your carpets or upholstery is dry dust. Since many of the cheap cleaning companies have 9 to 10 cleaning jobs on any giving day, they don’t have the time to vacuum. Most of them don’t even carry a vacuum cleaner on their truck. When scheduling your appointment they will usually remind you to please vacuum the carpets before they arrive.  Here at Carpet Cleaning San Diego we will vacuum all edges, door jams, and all open areas. The video below actually shows 5 canisters full of dust in our vacuum cleaner, this house actually took us 1 hour to vacuum the 2500Sqft.

>>Please note when the carpets are not professionally vacuumed prior to cleaning,  the filters in the cleaning machines will quickly fill up (see picture below) and common sense dictates a loss of vacuum which mean your carpets will not be properly cleaned <<

Here is an inline filter when the carpet have not been vacuumed!

How can you have 100% vacuum if the filter is plugged!
