About Dan
A true master of his craft, Dan takes pride in helping improve the health and appearance of homes throughout Chicagoland. Dan has been in the trade for 40 years with a true passion and expertise in carpet repair, installation, and cleaning. DTC uses the innovative, 100% environmentally safe HOST dry carpet cleaning system to transform the look and cleanliness of homes. The HOST cleaning system is the only deep cleaning system that does not use water, which means there is no dry time so you can enjoy your clean carpeting the same day.
With the inspiration of his father, Dan started his career as an expert in carpet installation; an esteemed installer that was in charge of some of Chicago's biggest installation jobs. The question he most frequently encountered in his trade was, "how should I clean my carpeting?" Throughout his experience, he found that water based cleaning systems did the most damage, reducing the durability and overall longevity of carpet. After years in the industry, Dan was introduced to the HOST cleaning system by a top industry expert. After the discovery of this innovative solution that does not use water, chemicals, or soap to deep clean carpeting, he wanted to recommend HOST cleaners to his customers. However, Dan found a shortage of HOST providers and thus, "Dan the Carpetman," was created. In 1981 Dan went through Host® Training School and joined the Host®Professional Cleaners Association, adding Host® Dry Extraction cleaning to his business. The HOST cleaning system has given Dan the ability to guarantee his carpet installations for 10-years!
Host is a all natural, 100% biodegradable substance made from small sponge particles. Just like a kitchen sponge, the moist cleansing particles scrub, remove, and absorb dirt and bacteria trapped in the carpet fibers. Because no water is used, there is no risk of mold or mildew growing beneath the carpet backing, yet bacteria and dust mites are extracted with the HOST machine. The HOST machine uses spinning brushes to work the HOST solution deep into the carpet while lifting the carpet fibers to create a plush, like-new-feel. More importantly, host removes the dirt and bacteria with the HOST powder; unlike water based cleaning solutions, which leave the carpet wet along with the dirt and bacteria that is still trapped with the water in the carpet. Additionally, soap based solutions pose the risk of a residue on the carpet. Soap residue is similar the residue left behind by tape; dirt and bacteria stick to the residue, making the carpet appear dirtier in less time.
A truly passionate entrepreneur, Dan takes pride in taking on the toughest jobs and creating amazing transformations. From removing gum, to nail polish, and of course the layers of dirt and grime, there is no job that he cannot take on. The time and pride he puts into every job is what really sets him above the rest, and he assures his customers will be happily amazed by the results.
