The Attachments You Should Add When Buying a New Vacuum

by |

vacuum-Purchasing a new vacuum cleaner for your house can sometimes be a bit exciting. It’s a new opportunity to try a newer model, something different, and maybe learn mistakes from your previous purchase. A lot of people try to save as much money as possible and go cheap, but they quickly realize that you really do get what you pay for when it comes to a new vacuum cleaner.

Whatever type of vacuum cleaner you are going to get, make sure you have the right attachments. There are five key attachments every homeowner should have for their vacuum cleaner that will help them not just keep their carpets and other floor surfaces cleaner, but make it easier to keep up with the cleanliness inside the house.

Make sure it has a brushroll/beater bar.

Believe it or not, not every vacuum cleaner has a beater bar. Some are specifically intended for hardwood or tile floor surfaces. A beater bar is essential for area rugs and carpeting. If you don’t get one with the beater bar, your carpets will not get clean.

Make sure it offers adjustable height.

Unless every room in your house has the same surface, such as all hardwood or tiled floors, you’ll want to have an adjustable height. You should adjust height for deep pile carpet, area rugs, and hardwood floor surfaces. Whatever is recommended for the specific surface, use those recommendations. Don’t try to vacuum at the same height because it just won’t produce good results.

Consider a telescoping wand.

This can help you get cobwebs along the ceiling and where the ceiling meets the walls, and also help you keep the drapery, blinds, and moldings clean.

A retractable cord.

If you have to constantly roll up the court manually, you will be far less likely to pull the vacuum cleaner out for a simple quick vacuum job in any room. That could lead to more dirt building up over time.

Consider a crevice tool.

Getting into those nooks and crannies throughout your house doesn’t have to be frustrating and challenging, at least when you have a crevice tool. When you consider these attachments, it will help you narrow your focus and ultimately help you keep your carpets a bit cleaner.

Is Water Enough to Thoroughly Clean Carpets?

by |

Spilling a Bottle of Water isn’t always ‘Harmless’ to CarpetingIt’s a common question that many homeowners have when they are considering hiring a carpet cleaning service. Most homeowners don’t contact a professional carpet cleaning company until they had their carpets for at least a few years and they begin showing signs of age.

Those carpets begin looking haggard and old.

They might have stains. They might look dirty. Even though the homeowner is vacuuming every week or even every couple of days, it doesn’t seem to be enough. The carpeting continues to collect dirt and dust and other particulates and even the most powerful residential vacuum cleaner is not strong enough to get them all out. The deeper they work into the carpet pile, getting caught in the fibers, the harder and more stubborn they become to remove.

So, these homeowners contacted a professional carpet cleaning service and if they have never had an experience with these providers before, they may be skeptical. After all, they assume that all this company is doing is using truck mounted equipment, spraying water along the carpet, and then sucking up whatever dust and dirt is absorbed into the water.

Is water enough?

In most cases, no. There will be stains and other issues that need to be cleaned with solutions. Most highly experienced professional carpet cleaning companies will provide options. They may have incredibly effective cleaning solutions that might not be considered environmentally safe. They will also have a wide range of environmentally sound and safe cleaning solutions that can also be incredibly effective.

What does this cleaning solutions do?

Mostly they attack the foreign contaminants, whether it’s pet urine, spaghetti sauce, grape juice, dirt, or anything else and begin to break it down, weakening it, and helping it to pull off of the carpet fibers. Then, the water, from an incredible suction off of truck mounted equipment, is pulled back out.

For those who are only interested in water and suction and want nothing to do with cleaning solutions, they will see an improvement, but it won’t be nearly as effective as if they had used some type of cleaning solution.

When Vacuuming Never Seems to Be Enough

by |

vacuum-It’s frustrating. We’ve all been there. You try to keep up with the cleanliness in your house, and whether you have children or not, dust and dirt always seem to build up. Maybe you live alone and can’t believe just how dusty the shelves, entertainment cabinet, and floors get within a week or two.

Keep in mind, most of the dust is not actually dirt.

It’s dead skin cells. In fact, more than 70 percent of the dust inside your house is dead skin cells. Your skin cells slough off every 7 to 10 days. They are so light they will float up into the air and ultimately settle down on just about any surface in your home, including your couch, tables, and more.

They also settle into your carpet fibers.

You vacuum. Perhaps you vacuum every couple of days. It certainly helps you feel better, but believe it or not even the most powerful residential vacuum cleaner is not strong enough to get all of the dust and dirt out of the carpet fibers. Some of that dust and dirt gets trapped and over time works its way deeper down.

That’s why a professional carpet cleaning service is important.

Never underestimate the value of a professional carpet cleaning service. When the company comes into your house and uses truck mounted equipment, they will apply cleaning solutions and use a high-powered system to wash and draw out the water, along with most of that dust and dirt, into those machines.

When you vacuum and clean regularly, you want your home to look, smell, and feel great. However, over time, your carpets and area rugs will begin to show their age if you don’t keep up with deep carpet cleaning regularly.

How often should this be done?

Ideally, to protect indoor air quality, maximize longevity of your carpets, and help them look their best, it is recommended that you have a professional carpet cleaning every six months. Once a year is okay, but when it’s important, rely on those recommendations.

What One Thing Should You Look for with a Carpet Cleaning Service?

by |

tips to help keep your house looking goodThe moment you decide to hire a carpet cleaning company to come into your home and evaluate the situation, clean some of the stains, and maybe even restore the carpet to as close to new condition as possible, you may not have a clue what to look for.

Below are several things you should consider when hiring any carpet cleaning company.

Experience.

Make no mistake about it, experience is essential. The more experience a company has, the more effective they will be at cleaning carpet, including getting many stubborn stains out. They will also likely understand the importance of toxic free chemicals and other solutions you might not want inside your house.

Equipment.

The type of carpet cleaning equipment the company has makes a difference. For example, if a relatively new company only uses consumer-type machines, they won’t be nearly as powerful as professional cleaning equipment. On top of that, if you aren’t certain whether these are machines they own or they rent them on a per diem basis, as they get work, you could do the same job by renting one of these machines at your local hardware or home improvement store.

Reviews.

Online reviews are extremely helpful at helping customers determine which companies would benefit them. Check out the reviews previous clients have left for any potential carpet cleaning company you want to hire. Avoid the reviews on their own website; these can be easily manipulated.

Instead, look to Google reviews, Yelp reviews, and other review sites.

When you begin looking at what previous clients have to say, it should give you an overall idea about whether they have the experience you want, whether they will provide the results you expect, and if they are worth the investment.

Staging Your Home for Sale: Start with a Carpet Cleaning

by |

carpet cleaning tipsYou’re planning to sell your house. You may be looking to move away from the area, you’re tired of your home and simply want a fresh start, you’re getting a divorce, the children are now out of the house and you no longer need so much space, or some other reason. In order to properly prepare for selling your home, consider a carpet cleaning service.

Staging is highly recommended today.

Proper ‘staging’ of the house can have a significant impact on potential homebuyers. Real estate professionals recommend a home be properly staged, with limited furniture, well lit rooms, the right lighting, and more.

Staging also includes having everything clean.

Included in staging should be carpet cleaning services. If you have wall-to-wall carpeting in all of the bedrooms and maybe the family room, vacuuming is one thing, but it’s not enough.

Only a professional carpet cleaning can make them look their best.

Some people have a do-it-yourself mentality. These men and women may rush down to their local home improvement store to rent a carpet cleaning machine. That may sound fine, but what they fail to realize is those machines are not regulated; they can be used to clean up just about anything, from bodily fluids to harmful chemicals.

When you bring one of these rental machines into your home, you are bringing along with it whatever was cleaned the last time somebody used it.

On top of that, these handheld machines simply don’t have the kind of power that a truck mounted carpet cleaning machine does. They will not get as deep down into the carpet pile as a truck mounted machine will, and that means the carpets simply won’t look as good as they could with the right service.

Get your home looking its best with a carpet cleaning service.
