Service and Location
Service: Commercial Carpet Cleaning & Sanitization
Location: Flatiron District, Manhattan, NY
Client: Alo Yoga (Fitness Studio & Retail Sanctuary)
Project Overview
NYC Steam Cleaning was commissioned to perform a deep restorative cleaning for Alo Yoga’s high-profile Flatiron location at 164 5th Avenue. As a premier wellness sanctuary featuring daily bare-skin contact during yoga, Pilates, and tone classes, the studio floors require a level of hygiene that matches its luxury brand aesthetic.
Daily foot traffic, sweat, and urban dust from Manhattan streets can quickly compromise indoor air quality and carpet hygiene. We utilized our IICRC-certified green cleaning protocols to ensure the space was not only visually spotless but also entirely allergen-free and devoid of harsh chemical residues, aligning perfectly with Alo’s holistic wellness mission.
The Process
Dry Soil Vibratory Pre-Vacuuming: Before applying any moisture, we used industrial-strength vacuums to pull deeply embedded grit, dust, and outdoor debris from the base of the carpet fibers.
EPA-Certified Green Pre-Treatment: We applied a hypoallergenic, zero-residue pre-spray designed to break down body oils, sweat, and surface oils without using toxic chemicals.
High-Heat Steam Extraction: Utilizing truck-mounted equipment, we injected $200^\circ\text{F}+$ softened water to flush out deeply set contaminants, effectively sanitizing the carpet fibers while destroying bacteria and neutralising odors.
Rapid-Dry Technology: To accommodate the studio’s strict class schedules, we deployed high-velocity industrial air movers, cutting down drying times so the studio could reopen for the next morning’s vinyasa flow.
