Last #carpetstain #cleaningprotip of the week is about tackling those red wine (and even juice) stains.

Our go-to remedy is the #clubsoda method: Blot the area with the soda on a cloth. If that doesn't work, mix one-part white vinegar with one part water and pour it into a handheld sprayer. Spray the solution on the entire stained area and let it sit for 10 to 15 minutes to soak in. Then, press a clean sponge onto the area to soak up the solution and the stain. You may have to repeat this process to eradicate the stain.

Once the stain is gone, rinse the spot with warm water. Use your hand to brush the carpet strands into their natural direction. Finally, lay white paper towels over the area and weigh them down with something heavy, like a phone book. The towels will absorb the dampness from the carpet. Leave the towels in place until the carpet is dry, usually about one day.

Cheers! 🥂🍷

Quarantine stain #ProTip 2 of this week is about pet accidents (which can happen with not only young pets, but also with older companions -- especially when their routines are switched up!).

Our go-to method for eliminating all traces of urine is with: Hydrogen peroxide (16 ounces) + Liquid dish soap (1 teaspoon) + Baking soda (1 tablespoon). Mix these ingredients, and soak the stained area with the solution. Leave until completely dry, and any resulting white residue can be vacuumed or brushed away.

If walls (or carpets) could talk...we’re guessing they’d spill some interesting dirt (pun intended). Surfaces in our homes are seeing a lot more love than they’re used to while we are sheltering in place!

#ProTip: The best carpet cleaner for general stains is ordinary shaving cream. Apply it directly to a stainand let it set for about 30 minutes. Once the shaving cream has set, blot it away with a dry white cloth. Finish by spraying the area with one-part vinegar mixed with one part water and then wiping away the solution with a cloth.

If you find yourself bored, go ahead and rotate your oriental rugs. Especially in high traffic areas, they really should be rotated every couple of months! Consistency/even wear-and-tear is key! #WisdomforyourWednesday

We've noticed that many smart fitness centers and other membership-driven organizations are taking this time to deep clean their facilities in a way they never have before. Corporate businesses should be doing the same thing!

Before we know it, people will be returning to the office -- hopefully with a renewed sense of purpose, and DEFINITELY with a heightened sense of health and germs. Get your office space cleaned and properly sanitized to give your employees the kind of work environment they deserve ... and one that they look forward to coming back to when #COVID19 is behind us!

We posted this message almost exactly a year ago, when cold weather was being stubborn. These days, even though it may feel like spring outside, we know everyone needs a little encouragement. Hang on! "Warmer" times are ahead in more ways than one!

Even though so little feels "normal" these days, spring still managed to arrive! Hopefully this means we're all spending more time outside. Which begs the question...what is everyone getting into? Literally - what is your puppy traipsing through on these warm unstructured days?

You'll probably find out when it lands on your carpet. No need to stress, though. ReClaim-It Puppy Program to the rescue!

According to the U.S. Department of Labor statistics in 2018, the average full-time employed person spent about 2.9 hours per day working at home, remotely. Needless to say, less than two years later, amid this crisis, our floors are getting far more traffic!

Keeping in mind that you should clean your carpets at LEAST every two years (see: https://www.angieslist.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-carpets.htm), iit's likely time for you to start thinking about tackling this right about now -- especially with a company that adheres to social distancing and keeps a layer of protection between themselves and your carpeting. #foodforthought

Just like the CDC recommends, we use EPA-registered disinfectants -- including our proprietary antimicrobial formula -- for carpet and upholstery cleaning and spot treatments.
Our cleaning methods involve truck-mounted hot water extraction, using water upwards of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, which modern-day experts say is the most effective way to remove dirt and other bacteria. #standinguptocovid19

03/22/2020

It's important to put some things on hold right now, but #springcleaning is NOT one of them. While viruses are most commonly spread through human contact, CDC Global research suggests that "novel coronavirus may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials." So... cleaning and disinfecting carpeting and uphostery is part of mounting an adequate at-home defense against COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses.

Contact us today to see why professional, high-heat, high-intensity methods are the best!
