Frequently asked questions (FAQS)
DOES THE CARPET COME WITH A PROTECTOR?
A dry soil protector comes in most carpets from the manufacturers. This is a product with wear date and is eliminated over time with daily traffic. Carpet manufacturers recommend that this protector be reapplied this protective once a year, and perhaps more often in areas of intense traffic.
HOW DOES YOUR DEODORIZER WORK TO ELIMINATE ODORS?
San Diego Steemer uses a natural bacterial enzyme action to digest the sources of organic odors such as vomit, feces, urine, milk, blood, etc. This product eliminates the organic odors with which it comes in contact. It also uses a neutralizer to give immediate relief from any odor while the enzyme is working. The key to complete the elimination of an odor is that this product must reach all contaminated surfaces. If the source causing the odor has penetrated the backing and possibly the filling, we can not guarantee the complete elimination of odor.
