The results that this Hot Water Extraction machine offers are amazing, to say the least. The benefits of using very hot, 250º + softened water on your carpet will become very apparent when you see how long our cleanings last. The Vortex utilizes the largest vacuum system in our industry, which enables us to clean further away from our truck then any other company in town. We also guarantee that we will leave your carpets cleaner and dryer than any other company in town.
 
We are pleased to offer the use of all biodegradable and allergen free cleaning solutions upon request.
 
We also offer the very latest in low moisture (Dry) cleaning technology. If you have a business that needs frequent cleanings or touch ups, you'll love our results.

Or let us combine the two methods to restore your extremely soiled carpets to "like new" again.

We also offer the use of our extremely powerful Room Drying fan for those areas in your home or business that need to be dry as soon as possible. Most rooms are dry to the touch in under twenty minutes when this fan is used.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning in Santa Cruz

As well as offering How Water Extraction to our commercial clients we also provide the very latest in Low Moisture Encapsulation cleaning. Encapsulation blends the better of two worlds; chemistry and physics. Encapsulation is a perfect choice for customers in high-traffic or large commercial settings with the need to clean their carpeted surfaces in an on-going manner. The results are nothing short of amazing and the costs are typically lower than HWE.

How does encapsulation technology work? First we emulsify all the oil and physical contaminates within your carpeting, surround each molecule with an acrylic-polymer barrier that prevents it from reattaching itself to the fibers while drawing it to the surface using controlled evaporation. This immediately allows the carpet to return to its original orientation so that it looks its best, not just after cleaning, but between cleanings. Approved by all major carpet mills, encapsulation cleaning could be the perfect option for your commercial grade olefin, polyester or nylon surface. Give us a call if you would like to learn more about Encapsulation and you'll be amazed to find out that you didn't need to settle for the results you're used to.
 

"For years I have tried different carpet cleaning services with mixed results until I had Connoisseur Carpet Cleaning Service. My carpets look better than new and they are dry almost immediately without odor. Mike Pailliotet can be counted on to be there on time, perform the most extensive cleaning with the latest technology, (you need to see his truck), and his prices are more than fair for the quality of his service. If you want the very best, call Mike at Connoisseur"

"In 30 years with a retail store, I have used a dozen carpet cleaners.  Connoisseur has been my exclusive carpet cleaning service since 2001.  I have no worries about leaving Mike with the key, to work his miracles on the ice cream, gum, sand, grease, all the things beachgoers leave behind.
 
After 15 years, four dogs and a dozen grandchildren, we thought we would need to replace my mother's white, wall- to-wall carpet.  In the first cleaning, Mike got all the rust and stains out.  By the second cleaning, the carpet looked as good as new.  I wouldn't use anyone else.
 
Whether it is to schedule a regular cleaning or emergency clean up, Paula and Mike are always professional, always do their best to meet my needs."
