Cleanable Solutions, Skokie

Before any job, Cleanable Solutions' technicians take the time to explain exactly how they're going to un-soil carpets, de-grime marble and tile, remove pollutants from air ducts, and restore homes damaged by water. Using eco-friendly cleaning products and high-tech equipment—such as carpet extractors, floor buffers, and power vac air-duct-cleaning truck mounts—they make homes look spiffier than a penguin in a bow tie.

All of Cleanable Solutions' technicians have their diploma from the IICRC, a nonprofit that sets inspection, cleaning, and restoration standards.
