A Few Useful Tips to Help Protect Leather Furniture

The Most Harmful Germ Factories in Your Home (that You Didn’t Even Think About)Enjoying leather furniture can come at a price. Not only is “price” in the amount of money it will cost you to purchase the leather furniture, but also in how quickly it can deteriorate over time, become dirty, cracked, dried out, and old looking, if you don’t care for it properly.

Maintaining your furniture is just as important as paying attention to the cleanliness of your carpeting. If you don’t make the proper investment in time, energy, and effort to protecting your furniture and carpeting in your home, it will have a direct impact on your overall enjoyment of being home.

Here are a few simple but useful tips that can help you better protect leather furniture moving forward.

Useful Tip #1: Condition the furniture.

If you don’t know what leather comes from, it’s the hide from cattle. It was formerly part of a living creature and just because it’s the covering on your gorgeous leather furniture, that doesn’t mean it won’t dry out. Just like your skin needs moisture, leather furniture does, too.

Make sure you condition the leather regularly so the material will remain soft, plush, and completely comfortable. This will also reduce the risk of scraping and cracking.

Useful Tip #2: Wipe down your leather furniture occasionally.

It’s a good idea to get into the habit of wiping down your leather furniture with a soft, damp cloth that mixes in a small bit of mild detergent. Doing so will help keep it looking great for a while.

Useful Tip #3: Consider a professional cleaning.

Unless you have a lot of experience with leather furniture, it’s a good idea to get in the habit of having a professional cleaning service come out your home and work on those leather furniture items as well as your carpets. Not only does it help protect it for a much longer period of time, it also makes it much more comfortable and enjoyable for you to be home.

Why the Vacuum Cleaner You Buy, Matters to Your Home’s Cleanliness

tips to help keep your house looking goodHow important is a piece of equipment? You wouldn’t ask that about a heart monitor if you were going in for major surgery, would you? Most people wouldn’t, so why do you think it’s no big deal to choose a cheap vacuum cleaner when you had new carpeting installed relatively recently?

It should always matter.

When you’re talking about a simple piece of equipment such as a residential vacuum cleaner that’s intended to be able to get your carpets as clean as possible, as well as the rest of the floors in your home, you either try to save as much money as you can and just choose one that is basic, lightweight, and won’t cause you a great deal of distress or you go with one that has a lot of power that may cost several hundred dollars.

Most people have a tendency to go somewhere in between. But why?

Why would someone who has invested thousands upon thousands of dollars in brand new carpeting and hundreds of thousands of dollars in their home, who honestly cares about the health and welfare of their family, including children, only choose a vacuum cleaner that is ‘middle of the road?’ They shouldn’t.

They may argue it’s about saving money. No one wants to throw money away and when you have a choice between a $200 vacuum cleaner and one that cost $500 or $600, you may not see the value in the much more expensive version.

You might have a tendency to claim you don’t have the extra money to spend on it, at least not right now. So, you choose the cheaper one and it seems to do the job okay. In fact, you’re happy with the results at first.

Then, something interesting happens.

As the months roll on, you begin to realize your carpets are not getting as clean as they could be, dust keeps flying through the air every time somebody walks through the room, and the vacuum doesn’t seem to be doing the job you remembered it doing in the beginning.

The suction power and ability to get deep within the carpet pile is important. You’re only going to get true power from a residential vacuum cleaner that will cost you more. It’s a better investment, but that still doesn’t mean you can ignore the importance and value of professional carpet cleaning services.

When you want cleanliness, choose the better vacuum cleaner, regardless of price. When cleanliness is still vital to you and your family, make sure you get a professional carpet cleaning service at least once a year if not more often.

Yes, Carpet Cleaning Services Also Work Wonders for Upholstery

Upholstery Cleaning TorontoYou have a lot of wall-to-wall carpeting in your home. You also have a lot of upholstery, from the cloth couch and recliner to the curtains and other drapery, bed linens, and so on.

You vacuum your carpets regularly, but you may only give a light glance over with the vacuum hose attachment to the upholstery. You just don’t see them as requiring that level of care.

You might be able to take the curtains and drapes down every so often to throw them in the wash, and while that may be decent enough, what about the couch or recliner? What about those other upholstery items, including the formal dining room chair, area rugs, and everything else that can collect dust.

The upholstery, the fabric you have, can attract a lot of dust and dirt. If you want to see just how much collects on the surface, throw open the window shades, shutters, or blinds and allow the sunshine to pour through at a decent angle. It’s best to do this early in the morning or later in the afternoon or evening when the sun is at a lower angle in the sky.

Once you open the windows, pat the couch or recliner or even the drapery. You don’t have to do it much, just a few pats will do. Step back and notice the sunshine pouring into your room. How much dust and other particulates are now floating around that you can readily see?

It could look like a verifiable blizzard inside your home. That’s what’s happening every single time you or somebody moves throughout the house, sits down, or opens the curtains.

When you hire a professional and experienced carpet cleaning service, they should have the ability, equipment, and know-how to also properly clean the upholstery throughout your house. When you have that done, you won’t see nearly as much dust kicking up into the air every time you sit down.

Don’t Toss That Old Persian Rug Just Yet! It Could Be Saved!

persian and other fine rugsYou have a gorgeous a Persian rug. At least, at one point in time it was gorgeous. Now it seems like nothing more than a glorified rag sitting on your floor.

Maybe you didn’t purchase this Persian rug yourself. Perhaps it was left behind by the previous homeowners. Maybe you bought it many decades ago or it was a hand-me-down from your grandparent or some other family member or close friend.

When you go out shopping, you probably see carpet and rug stores that have so many similar looking rugs out for sale, usually at special discounted rates. When you continually think about those types of rugs, it’s easy to lose sight of the value of a true Persian rug.

A new, genuine Persian rug today might cost $1,000, $10,000, or even more. They cost that much because they are handmade works of art that take many months to make. They are not to be taken lightly.

Classic Persian rugs can be even more valuable, which is why you should avoid the temptation to simply roll up that rug and toss it out in the garbage. Contrary to what you might assume, it may be salvageable.

It could have a lot of problems with it. You may have left it in the same place and there are wear patterns across it. It could have become threadbare in parts.

The frill at the edges may have come undone and you may have pulled out loose ends and tossed them in the garbage through the years. There’s no guarantee that your particular Persian rug is salvageable, but when you rely on an experienced company, a carpet cleaning service that also provides care for Persian rugs, you might be surprised by how amazing that Persian rug could look with a thorough cleaning and some basic rejuvenation.

Spot Carpet Repairs: A Great Reason to Save Some of That ‘Extra’ Shag During Installation

Bed Bugs Don’t Just Breed in Mattresses: They Can Also be Hiding in Your Carpeting and FurnitureYou’re about to have brand new wall-to-wall carpeting installed in your home. It can be exciting. You just can’t wait to see how amazing they look. Perhaps you’ve had new carpeting installed in the past and remember that unique aroma that fills the house.

When the installers arrive to put the carpeting in, there will certainly be extra sections left over. They estimate just how much carpeting they’re going to need, and since they don’t want to run short in any room, they usually have a bit extra.

Ask if you can keep some of that extra shag carpet. As long as you paid for it, it’s yours and they should more than readily offer it to you.

Why would you keep this?

Keep those extra patches of carpeting in a safe, dry area. On a shelf in a closet or even on the floor of the closet, under a couple of boxes, may be an ideal location. Avoid keeping it in a damp, soggy basement or anywhere where mildew is present.

You may never need this extra patch of carpet, but in the event serious damage is caused to your new carpeting, you have a section to replace it with.

Most stains can be removed by an experienced and professional carpet cleaning service that has the right cleaning solutions and truck mounted equipment, which is the most powerful and able to get deep down into the carpet pile.

Some stains, though, could become permanent, especially if they are ignored or you don’t even know they happened. The longer a harsh stain is allowed to set in to the carpet, the more likely it becomes permanent. Burn marks can also be a reason to have to replace a small section of the carpeting.
