Charity Raffle
This year we have partnered with The Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursey for our Charity Raffle with hopes of helping them reach their goal of purchasing new carpet cleaning equipment for their Minneapolis location!
Jesse, a local customer and volunteer with The Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery, will be on-site on Friday, August 9th to represent the Crisis Nursery at our raffle booth.
About the Crisis Nursery:
“For 40 years, we have focused on preventing child abuse and neglect by providing free, voluntary services to support families in crisis. Many families face multiple obstacles like poverty and homelessness reducing their connection to much-needed resources and support.”
The Nursery supports families by providing:
24-Hours Crisis Helpline: Trained advocates provide crisis de-escalation and referral services every hours of every day.
Overnight Care: The Crisis Nursery cares for children, newborn through age six, for up to 3 consecutive nights while their parents address a crisis in their lives.
Home Visiting: Social workers provide intensive, in-home supports to families facing multiple barriers to stability.
Mental Health Services for Parents: Licensed master’s level clinicians support parents along their mental health journey. They assist with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, and other diagnoses related to their own childhood trauma.

*This class can be live streamed, please clarify if you want to take this class in-person or online.*
The IICRC Carpet Cleaning Technician (CCT) course is designed to teach the art and science of carpet cleaning to professional service providers, as well as others in related industries. Emphasis is placed on practical application; identifying fiber, yarn and carpet constructions, style types and finishes, soiling conditions, cleaning science and methodology, and other issues and concerns faced by individuals who maintain and clean installed broadloom carpet. Coupled with on-the-job training and field experience. Students should be adequately prepared to perform carpet cleaning techniques and procedures. They also should be adequately prepared to accomplish further training in other IICRC-approved courses, which require CCT as a prerequisite. The course is designed to cover pre-inspection, fabric identification, basic cleaning chemicals and equipment, and proper cleaning techniques and procedures with a residential and light commercial emphasis. (2-day course; 14 hours, not including exam time, lunch and breaks)

Introduction to Carpet Cleaning.

The Appearance of Clean Carpet and Removing Soil.
The Science and Chemistry Behind Cleaning.
Key Safety and Environmental Regulatory Compliance.
Equipment and Supplies.
13 Point Process of what to do on the job.

Why Is Attending Carpet Cleaning School Beneficial?
There are thousands of restoration services throughout the country, and those looking to improve their skills should look into carpet cleaning school. Courses and seminars can benefit a technician and prevent costly mistakes. Most courses are only one to two days long, and the information they provide is invaluable. With the availability of the internet, just about anyone can learn tips and tricks on how to clean something, but certified technicians will offer the best results.
But what makes carpet cleaning school so beneficial?
People who reach out to a cleaning service do so because they are afraid of making the problem worse. Technicians who take a course will learn the science behind carpet fiber types, cleaning agents, and equipment needed to tackle various situations.

Why Is Attending Carpet Cleaning School Beneficial?
There are thousands of restoration services throughout the country, and those looking to improve their skills should look into carpet cleaning school. Courses and seminars can benefit a technician and prevent costly mistakes. Most courses are only one to two days long, and the information they provide is invaluable. With the availability of the internet, just about anyone can learn tips and tricks on how to clean something, but certified technicians will offer the best results.
But what makes carpet cleaning school so beneficial?
People who reach out to a cleaning service do so because they are afraid of making the problem worse. Technicians who take a course will learn the science behind carpet fiber types, cleaning agents, and equipment needed to tackle various situations.
