In short
What Is the Downey Double Clean?
The Downey Double Clean is the carpet cleaning process at the center of every Downey Clean carpet visit, for homes and businesses. It has three stages: a specialty cleaning agent that preconditions the carpet, a scrub with a counter rotating brush machine, and a clear water rinse with a High Flow Extractor. That rinse removes the residue that steam cleaning alone leaves behind, and residue is what makes carpet get dirty again quickly.
Why the Rinse Matters
Steam cleaning alone removes soil, but it cannot remove all of the residue. Residue is what makes carpet get dirty again quickly.
That is why the Double Clean ends with a clear water rinse. It is the step that makes the Downey Double Clean different.

Inspection and Evaluation
Your technician walks through the property and looks at problem areas. Each stain is different, so the technician chooses the treatment and cleaning agent that will give the best result for it.

Preconditioning and Spot Treatment
Technicians apply a specialty cleaning agent to precondition the carpet and treat spots.

Agitation
A counter rotating brush machine scrubs the carpet. A brush loosens ground in dirt, the same reason you reach for one on any tough cleaning job, and it lifts the fibers back toward the way they looked when the carpet was new.

Clear Water Extraction
A High Flow Extractor rinses the carpet with clear water and pulls out the loosened soil and the cleaning residue. This rinse is the key to the Downey Double Clean.

Downey Double Clean FAQ
What is the Downey Double Clean?
The Downey Double Clean is the core of every Downey Clean carpet cleaning visit. It has three stages: a specialty cleaning agent to precondition the carpet and treat spots, a scrub with a counter rotating brush machine, and a clear water rinse with a High Flow Extractor. The rinse removes the residue that steam cleaning alone leaves behind.
How is the Double Clean different from steam cleaning alone?
Steam cleaning alone removes soil but cannot remove all of the cleaning residue, and residue is what makes carpet get dirty again quickly. The Double Clean adds a brush scrub to loosen ground in dirt and a clear water rinse to remove the residue, which helps your carpet stay clean longer.
How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?
After a Downey Double Clean, carpet dries in 12 to 24 hours.
Will the Double Clean remove every stain?
Many stains come out, but results depend on the stain and how long it has been there. Some stains are permanent, so we cannot promise complete removal. Your technician inspects problem areas first and chooses the best treatment for each stain.
Do you use the Double Clean on commercial carpet?
Yes. Commercial carpet cleaning follows the same 5 step process as residential carpet, with the Downey Double Clean at its core.
What add ons do you recommend?
We recommend two add ons. Our enzyme powered Carpet Deodorizer (Pet Odor Eliminator) goes after the sources of odors. Carpet Protector restores the carpet's protective coating so the cleaning lasts longer and home cleaning is easier.
Can you clean carpet upstairs?
We clean up to the second floor of a home. We cannot clean above the second floor, and our truck needs to park within 30 feet of the home.
How much does a Downey Double Clean cost?
Residential carpet cleaning is quoted with a free estimate based on the number of rooms or square footage, the condition of the carpet and any add ons. Commercial carpet is priced by the square foot.
