3 Reasons Improving the Curb Appeal of Your Home May Actually Help You Keep It Cleaner

by |

Welcome matYou’ve been trying to figure out how to keep your home cleaner. But nothing you do seems to make a difference. Sure, you have kids and that’s always going to be a challenge, but there has to be something you can do to make a difference.

There is. Aside from the obvious, improving the curb appeal of your home may actually help you in the fight to keep your home as clean as possible. Below are three reasons why this might be something to consider looking into, either right now or for next spring season.

Reason #1: Installing good walkways.

When you focus on improving the curb appeal of your home, you will likely pay attention to the walkways. Right now you may have people just walking on the grass up to the steps. If it’s raining or snowing outside, odds are that’s going to be filling the tread of their sneakers or boots with the mud.

Guess where that’s going to go. If you install a smooth, clean walkway, there’s a lot less risk of having mud and dirt tracked into your house.

Reason #2: Make the entryway neater and more inviting.

When people see a dirty, unkempt house from the outside, they are less likely to care about whether or not they’re tracking in dirt. If, on the other hand, guests approach your home and see how well kept it is on the outside, they will be more conscientious about taking care of it on the inside.

This will likely lead to more people removing their shoes without even being asked to.

Reason #3: You can offer a landing to wipe/remove shoes.

If you have a beautiful entryway and a nicely maintained walkway, and then it has a bristle brush for shoes or a mat with a couple of shoes already on it, people will get the hint. They will take their shoes off before evening entering the house.

All of these things can help keep your carpets more protected and cleaner throughout the year. Still, that doesn’t mean you won’t benefit from a professional carpet cleaning service at least once a year.

Prepping Your Home for Sale: When to Call in the Pros

by |

5 dirty little secrets homecleaningYou’re selling your home. Maybe you haven’t listed it yet and you’re trying to get everything organized. Perhaps it’s already on the market you haven’t had any serious offers just yet.

Whatever the case may be, you should consider a professional carpet cleaning service, even if you only have a few area rugs in place.

Present your home in the best light.

Any experienced realtor is going to tell you to not only minimize the furniture you have in the house and remove any personal mementos, such as pictures, jewelry boxes, and other such knickknacks, but to also make sure it’s as clean as possible any time a prospective buyer comes to see it.

For some, that means basically sweeping and mopping the floors and running a vacuum cleaner over the main portion of the wall-to-wall carpeting. That’s not going to do the job.

You want full, natural light coming into your house. You want a prospective buyer to feel like it’s a warm, inviting place to live. However, if you don’t hire a professional carpet cleaning service, what those prospective buyers are going to see is a host of dust particles flying through the air every time somebody begins walking through each room.

Prepping your home for sale requires effort on your part. It’s an investment you’re making to ensure your home is viewed in the best manner possible. When you have a home that is clean, smells refreshing, and is invigorating just to step into, you’re going to attract more people want to live there.

The more people who want to make your home theirs, the more offers you’re going to receive. The more offers you receive, the higher your sale price and the quicker it sells. Now, isn’t that a good indication it’s time to call a professional?

3 Tips for Hiring a Carpet Cleaner

You’ve made an important decision for your home. You’re going to hire a carpet cleaning company. You just don’t know where to start or what company to hire.

Here are three tips that should be of help as you narrow your choices down and, ultimately, make the best decision for your home, family, and budget. Keep in mind that the better a carpet cleaning service is, the higher the quality work they will provide, and that will have an impact on not just the cleanliness of your carpets, but the overall health of your home environment.

Tip #1: Do your homework.

There are numerous carpet cleaning companies operating throughout the Greater Toronto Area. Doing a simple search will return a list of possibly dozens of companies and individuals.

Do some homework. Find companies that have been around for a while. Put them at the top of your list. The longer a company has been around, the more likely they’ve been doing things right from the start. You don’t survive long in any business between customers poorly or ripping them off.

Tip #2: Speak to someone directly on the phone.

More and more carpet cleaning companies offer online booking and reservation systems. That may seem convenient at first, but it’s best for you to speak to somebody on the phone.

How are you treated? Do they treat you respectfully? Are they willing to answer your questions, no matter how mundane or insignificant they might sound to them?

How you’re treated on the phone will give you some indication about how you’ll be treated once those professionals show up at your house.

Tip #3: Ask about the equipment they use.

Many smaller, newer carpet cleaning companies use rented equipment. That is, until they are able to purchase their own carry in equipment. You don’t know what the rented equipment was used for and anything handheld or portable is not going to come close to comparing to the power of commercial cleaning equipment.

You should always choose a company that relies on professional cleaning equipment to get the cleanest carpets possible.

A Quality Carpet Cleaning Service Can Also Clean Other Surfaces

Bed Bugs Don’t Just Breed in Mattresses: They Can Also be Hiding in Your Carpeting and FurnitureIt’s easy to assume a professional carpet cleaning service is only going to be cleaning carpeting. After all, when you look up ‘carpet cleaning company’, whether it’s in Toronto, the surrounding area, or somewhere else, isn’t that what you expect?

Of course. And while there are many carpet cleaning services out there that only do carpets, a more experienced, reliable company is going to have the tools and know-how to clean some other surfaces as well.

Carpets and rugs are not the same.

Remember that wall-to-wall carpeting is not the same as an area rug. The pile on each is completely different. With your traditional wall-to-wall carpet, you’ll have a deeper pile. That means it becomes much easier for dirt and other foreign contaminants to get deep down into the carpet pile to make the carpet look less appealing, dirtier, and less comfortable.

Area rugs have a tendency to be short pile and that means dirt may get through them much more quickly, leaving a layer of dust underneath the rug itself. However, in both cases, it’s important to have a professional clean them every once in a while to get the maximum amount of dirt out of them.

What about the upholstery in your house? That couch, recliner, and even your dining room chairs have fabric on them. Fabric, like carpet, is going to trap dust and dirt. A reliable and quality carpet cleaning service should also be able to clean the upholstery in your home.

What about drapery? Will they take care of the drapery? You could certainly remove the drapery and run it through the washing machine and dryer, but that exposes it to some potential damage.

You may also be surprised to learn that some carpet cleaning companies can clean marble surfaces. If you have marble or granite countertops in your kitchen and they haven’t been thoroughly cleaned in a long time, now is the time to get it done. Believe it or not, those hard surfaces are extremely porous, which means flour, chicken juice, and a host of other food particles may have already worked deeper into those porous surfaces. A professional cleaning can help restore them to like new condition.

Why Choose Natural Cleaning Products for Your Home?

5 dirty little secrets homecleaningWhen it comes to the cleanliness of your home, you have plenty of options. People have a tendency to assume they can do a good enough job keeping their home clean. They vacuum, mop the floors, dust every once in a while, put the laundry away, and make sure their children are keeping up with their own rooms.

What about the cleaning products you use?

Have you ever thought about the potential hazards some of those cleaning products can cause? Do you think about what it could be doing to your son or daughter? What about the rest of your family or anyone else who comes into your home?

If you hadn’t yet, it’s time you did. It’s time to begin thinking about natural cleaning products for your home, whether it’s the dishes, mopping the floor, or even deep cleaning your carpeting.

You may be tempted to purchase or rent a carpet cleaning machine in order to avoid the expense of hiring a professional carpet cleaning service. You grab this carpet cleaning machine and go out and get the strongest, industrial-strength cleaning products you can find. You test it in an inconspicuous area of the room to ensure it’s not going to cause any discoloration or damage to the carpeting, and when you notice things look alright, you go ahead and clean all of the carpeting in your home.

What you may not realize is what those cleaning solutions could be doing to you and everyone else in the house. They aren’t going to be removed by the vacuum cleaner. At least not completely.

Your children, you, and even others may lay down on the carpeting for one reason or another. With your face that close to the carpeting, it would be like removing the cap of those cleaning products and taking a nice, deep breath. That’s just one good reason why you should consider only natural cleaning products for your home.

As for getting your carpets as clean as possible, nothing can match the quality professional carpet cleaning service.
