If you’ve been shopping around for carpet cleaning companies in Austin, you have likely noticed that many tout “IICRC-certification” on their websites, social media profiles, and marketing materials.
You may be asking yourself: Should IICRC Certification be a factor in choosing a company to clean my carpets?
Our answer: Absolutely! IICRC is an acronym for the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. Globally, IICRC’s best practices are the gold standard in the professional carpet cleaning business. The organization currently counts over 60,000 cleaning techs and 6,000 certified businesses among its membership.
K&M Steam Cleaning is IICRC certified as a company and our cleaning technicians are certified as well. Choosing an IICRC member is the best way to get the highest possible level of carpet cleaning and restoration. IICRC’s core values are respect, responsibility, integrity, excellence, and expertise.
After learning the steam cleaning business working for the Steam Team in Austin, Ken Moncebaiz (pronounced mon-se-BYE-ez) ventured out on his own and founded K&M Steam Cleaning in 1996. He started out as K&M's only employee with just one cleaning van and a dream. Over the years, Ken’s devotion to his customers and pursuit of excellence fueled K&M Steam Cleaning’s growth into one of the premier carpet cleaning companies in the Austin area. Ken says that treating every customer’s home like he would his own mother’s, and training his entire team to do likewise, has been the “secret” to the company’s continual growth. Today, the company has grown to operate a continually expanding fleet of cleaning vans performing residential and commercial disinfecting, carpet cleaning, carpet repair, air duct cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, stone counter cleaning & restoration, stone floor & surface cleaning, Saltillo tile restoration, furniture & upholstery cleaning, dryer vent cleaning, pressure washing, and maid/janitorial services.
