How we restore
your home. Not just
clean it.
The equipment, chemistry, process, and guarantees behind every Velvo job — and why carpet manufacturers recommend exactly what we do.
“Clean enough to sit barefoot.”
Paulo & Digiorgia — Fort Mill, est. 2024About Velvo → How We Work
Barefoot Clean
Protocol™
Five steps. Two owners. Every home. The same protocol Shaw, Mohawk, and Stainmaster warranties require — executed without shortcuts regardless of job size.
-
01
BCP Inspect™We walk every room with you, flag fiber types, identify problem zones — red clay, pet stains, traffic lanes, delicate fibers — and tell you what we can and cannot fix before equipment touches the carpet. No surprises. Realistic outcomes discussed upfront.~15 min
-
02
BCP Extract™Commercial-grade HEPA pre-vacuum lifts dry soil, pet hair, pollen, and dust mites that household vacuums miss. About 75% of carpet weight is dry debris. Removing it first prevents moisture from driving it deeper during extraction.~20 min
-
03
BCP Treat™Zone-based pre-treatment: acidic spotting agents on red clay mineral zones, enzymatic solutions on pet and organic zones, traffic lane degreaser on entrance areas. The right chemistry per zone — not one product across the whole floor. Eco-friendly, low-VOC, kid and pet safe.~25 min
-
04
BCP Restore™200°F hot-water extraction. One pass: rinse, lift, remove, recover. The manufacturer-required method for Shaw, Mohawk, and Stainmaster carpet warranties. 99% moisture removal. Zero soap residue — residue re-attracts soil and is the primary cause of carpets looking dirty again within weeks.~45 min
-
05
BCP Certify™Pile-set rakes lift the nap. High-velocity air movers in traffic lanes and doorways. Walkable in 6–10 hours. Move-out documentation provided on request for property managers and closing attorneys across all service areas.~15 min
The method manufacturers
actually require.
Most “carpet cleaners” use bonnet pads or shampoo — a cosmetic treatment that pushes oils deeper and leaves soap residue. Mohawk, Shaw, and Stainmaster warranties require hot-water extraction. That’s all we do.
