For each carpet or upholstery cleaning, Checkmate uses a 12 step cleaning process to make sure your items are not only clean, but are not damaged in the process. There are more steps included with a pet odor treatment or flood damage repair cleaning to ensure that you get the best professional cleaning possible. Checkmate is also knowledgeable in how to clean those delicate oriental rugs you cherish without causing any damage to the items.</p>
<p>Checkmate is one of the few  IICRC certified professional cleaning service in the Portland/Vancouver area. The professionals at Checkmate are certified for all of the following:  carpet cleaning, water damage, odor control, upholstery cleaning, repair re-installation, color repair, master textile, master restorer and senior practicing carpet inspection. With expertise like that available, why would you want to take a chance with an non-certified cleaning group?</p>
<p>Checkmate is committed to great service for all its customers in the Portland and Vancouver area. If you&#8217;re a first time Checkmate customer, you&#8217;ll receive one room cleaned free with the purchase of 3 other rooms. Checkmate doesn&#8217;t forget repeat customers either. With the new gold member program, being a devoted Checkmate customer really pays off. Customers who have worked with Checkmate for a year automatically receive a 12% lifetime discount as well as a free Checkmate Spot Cleaner with every cleaning.</p>

<b><em><a href="http://www.detailsbymark.com" target="_blank">Portland's Finest Auto Detail</a></em></b>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Portland&#8217;s Finest Auto Detail</h2>
<p><a href="http://nwbusinesslinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/logo2.png"></a></p>
<div id="attachment_97" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 257px"><a href="http://nwbusinesslinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/logo.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-97" title="Details By Mark" src="http://nwbusinesslinks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/logo-247x300.jpg" alt="Details By Mark" width="247" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Infinitely Better Than the Rest</p></div>
<p>There are very few businesses that do what Mark does so consistently.  Mark leads his industry in quality, service and depth of knowledge.  It&#8217;s his detailed understanding of what it really takes to rid your vehicle of filth &#8211; smells, stains, and debris &#8211; that allows him to offer so much more than his competition.  Not only can he take care of any auto pet odor or auto pet damage, but he can rectify the issues resulting from non-friendly animal auto damage including mice and skunks.  In fact, he is very likely the only person in town to see when you have one of those issues.  This is of course on top of the average food crumbs, pet hair, and other things that get into the crevices in your automobile.</p>
<h2><a title="Portland Auto Restoration" href="http://detailsbymark.com/restoration.htm" target="_blank">Portland Auto Restoration</a></h2>
<p>But he doesn&#8217;t stop there.  New or old, classic or just your personal favorite, he can take any automobile in any condition and restore it to <em>brand new</em>.  This is the truth, and this is why his clients love him!  Just look at the <a title="Portland Auto Detail Comments" href="http://detailsbymark.com/comments.php" target="_blank">portland auto detail comments</a> page on his website to see testimonial after testimonial, unedited and uncoached: the raw appreciation is unmatched.</p>
<h2><a title="Auto Mold Mildew and Flood Damage Repair" href="http://www.detailsbymark.com" target="_blank">Auto Mold, Mildew and Flood Damage Repair</a></h2>
<p>The Northwest is home to many of nature&#8217;s wettest unleashings which can result in significant auto issues.  Body shops and auto repair companies often don&#8217;t want to deal with auto mold, mildew or flood damage repair &#8211; even though it&#8217;s often covered by insurance.  The reason is the extent of the damage, and the detailed focus it takes to repair that are too much &#8211; but not for Mark.</p>
<p>Take our word for it.  Take his clients word for it.  Mark is a professionaly auto detail and restoration expert, and no one will beat his quality of work or service.</p>
<p>Call him any time and make sure to let him know you found him on <a title="Northwest Business Links" href="http://nwbusinesslinks.com" target="_blank">Northwest Business Links</a>!</p>
