Tucson Window Cleaning

We often get the question from customers about the differences between window washing and window cleaning. Our typical response is to ask customers another question in return: “Do you want streak-free windows?” Most of them reply in the affirmative.

Experience Window Cleaning the Dr. Clean Way

If you’ve never hired professionals to come and clean your windows before, then you might not know what to expect. Recognizing that window cleaning is a finer service, we’re here to help potential customers understand there are many window-related companies to choose from the Tucson metro, but these are mostly window washing companies. They don’t give customers the best experience, but we work hard to ensure that your windows are cleaned through cutting-edge techniques.

Look at the Pricing Structure of Window Washing Providers

Before you choose a window cleaning provider, be sure that you’ve been fully informed what you will receive for a particular service fee. A typical window washing company quotes customers a price per window. Unless the company has inflated rates, the price per window sounds reasonable. After all, consumers just want their windows to look nice from both the inside and out.

The Technical Difference

Window cleaning is a trade just like fixing an automobile or cleaning teeth. Many homeowners don’t realize that the number of towels required to clean windows will determine the crystal clear view that you get. As a veteran owner of a window cleaning business, I remember when we first started in Tucson. Our goal was to provide each customer with a first-rate cleaning experience. We bought a business in a box from Phil, who was selling franchises in the region. He gave business owners like me new opportunities across the U.S., making it easy to learn his trade. I had no choice but to jump in with both feet. Meanwhile, he still operated crews in Colorado and Washington, D.C., which gave us valuable insights based on his two decades of experience.

The Future Was Uncertain

Looking back, I have to admit feeling skeptical when Phil invited me to attend his apprenticeship program in Colorado. I thought to myself: “How hard could this be?” After all, residential cleaners wash windows every day. During Phil’s program, I discovered what most window washing companies were doing at the time. I recognized that his system was better, producing highly satisfied customers for many years.

Tucson Carpet Cleaning

Carpet Cleaning may be the most misunderstood service in the cleaning industry. With so many commercially available do-it-yourself carpet cleaning products, rental machines and rock-bottom ads for commercial carpet cleaning companies, it’s no wonder many Tucson residents keep putting off their carpet care.

Myth #1:

Cleaning your carpet damages your carpet. Besides, my carpets have stain protection!

I have a close friend who, for years, insisted that continual cleaning is bad for carpets. I can understand how poor cleaning techniques could give anyone that impression, but my friend was far off the mark. In fact, for nearly a decade many carpet manufacturer warranties have required regular professional cleaning by certified technicians and routine vacuuming by the property owner or tenant.

The bottom line is, dirt attracts more dirt, and regular, professional carpet cleaning revives your carpet’s stain protection by removing the buildup of oils, dust, pollen and other debris.

Myth #2:

I have more time than money. I’ll just rent a machine and do it myself.

Chemicals applied without rinsing solutions and proper spotting solutions leads to more residue on your carpet – which attracts more dirt! Rental machines and consumer-grade cleaning products are better than not cleaning your carpets at all, but not by much. Our equipment and solutions are far superior to what you can find at your local grocery store, and we use up to six different cleaning solutions according to your carpet’s specific needs, from spot and stain removal to whole floor revitalization.

We also use two different rotary machines: one which implements an agitation procedure and the other a residue and moisture retrieval system that helps preserve your carpet padding. On average, your carpet will be dry within three hours after we’re done.

Myth #3:

I’ve shopped around for carpet cleaning. Why don’t I just hire the cheapest company advertised?

We’ve seen these ads, too. For the most part, we don’t see these companies as competition. How can anyone effectively clean 3 rooms for under $100.00? How satisfied are their customers six months down the road? When we call you for a follow-up in six months, you’re likely to be amazed by how long your carpet has retained the “like new” look. The other guy? No business can lose money consistently and stay in business.

We offer custom estimates and custom pricing, because there is no accurate way to determine your cost by measuring square footage. Each household’s activity and habits are different. Do you have pets or small children? Do you take your shoes off before entering your home? What is the age, quality and prior upkeep of your carpets?

We quote our services only after a site visit. In the end, we may save you money, as companies offering quotes by phone often end up tacking on additional services when they are able to visually assess your carpet’s condition.

We focus on quality, not quantity. It takes our technicians an average of 3.5 hours for a thorough restorative Tucson carpet cleaning. The average carpet cleaner takes a single hour, and most customers aren’t happy with the long term outcome. We may not knock out as many customers each day as the less expensive companies, but our time is better spent.

Our clients understand that their carpets are an investment in their home and health, and know that quality service and customer care include professional pricing. We’ve been in business since 2005 thanks to satisfied, repeat customers and our investment in high-quality equipment and employee training.

Call us to help you preserve and make the most of the life of your carpet. We look forward to meeting you and performing a thorough examination of your carpet and flooring needs.

Flood Restoration/Recovery Services

Everything we love about Tucson—the mountains, the amazing thunderstorms, the wildflowers in the arroyos—is balanced by the risk of high water in monsoon season. We embrace that risk because life in southern Arizona is worth it. Some risks, like improperly restoring water damage in your home, aren’t worth taking.

Do you have a plan for cleaning up your home if you’re hit with flooding? What will you do if a plumbing appliance breaks, causing water damage to your floors, walls, and ceilings?

Prepare for flooding of any type with these three steps:

• Know how and where to shut off your water main.

• Know where to shut off your main electric breaker.

• Keep a wrench, your insurance agent’s contact information and our phone number handy. Call us at 520.245.3284 as soon as possible after a flood so we can help you minimize the damage.

If you’ve recently had flood water enter your home or water damage due to plumbing problems or defective appliances, it is imperative to find all of the moisture trapped within floors, walls, and ceilings as soon as possible. The first few hours are absolutely vital as mold can quickly become a significant problem if left untreated. According to the EPA, after a flood “it is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours to prevent mold growth.”

The Hidden Costs of Flood Damage

Mold and bacteria from flooding cause serious health issues, including asthma, allergies, skin and eye irritation, and can cause serious complications in pregnant women. Other health issues associated with mold include headaches, respiratory infections, chronic fatigue. Infants, the elderly and those with pre-existing allergies or asthma are at higher risk of these issues when mold is present in the home.

Unchecked moisture, fungus, and mold slowly destroy the structural integrity of your property. Water damage affects framing, insulation, drywall, wiring and the metal hardware that keeps it all together. In addition to warped wood floors and soaked carpets, water left behind after flooding or inexperienced cleanup efforts rots subfloors and load-bearing joists. Water damage prevents doors and windows from operating properly and can undermine your foundation.

Vents and ductwork become the perfect incubator for fungus and mold spores if they’re not cleared of residual water and condensation. Moisture left behind by non-professional cleaners allows odors and mildew permeate the rest of your belongings, including your clothing and furniture.

Unabated, water damage will ruin more than your health and home; it will affect your peace of mind as you worry about developing issues in places you can’t see.

At Dr. Clean, our goal after a flood is getting your family back into a clean, safe and healthy home. Dr. Clean will inspect your property and install drying and odor control units, monitoring affected areas with your safety as our highest priority.

What sets Dr. Clean apart?

When timing is critical, we will get it right the first time, saving you money down the road. Our focus is attention to detail and customer care. We provide the necessary follow-up to ensure our comprehensive mold and moisture abatement processes have been successful, and we guarantee our work. Trust your family’s health and the preservation of your home to a professional. Don’t mess around when it comes to mold and water damage.

Our commercial-grade equipment works harder and faster than consumer-grade fans and dehumidifiers, and our carpet cleaning equipment effectively draws moisture from flooring, padding, and underlayment.

We are trained professionals in water removal, and we know which spots are often overlooked or inaccessible to homeowners and less experienced commercial cleaners.

We help clients who need to keep their recovery cost low without sacrificing quality workmanship. In addition to moisture abatement and cleanup, we can repair water damage to your floors, walls, and ceilings.
