The Best Ways to Deal with Pet Stains on Your Carpets

by |

pet-dog-cat-urine-on-carpetPet stains can be frustrating, especially when they get on your brand new wall-to-wall carpeting in your house. The last thing anyone wants to think about when they have carpeting installed is dealing with stains, especially from pets.

From time to time, especially with young puppies, accidents will happen. Cleaning up the stain as quickly as possible is extremely important, but what you do afterward will also make a difference into the future.

First, don’t panic.

Most homeowners make a common mistake of panicking when something is spilled on the carpet or they notice their new puppy had an accident on those brand new carpets. If you panic, you’re going to make costly mistakes, such as scrubbing the stain, which only moves it deeper into the carpet pile.

Second, grab dry paper towels.

Having other towels or materials is fine, but paper towels aren’t going to cost you very much. Immediately begin blotting the stain lightly. We emphasize the term ‘lightly’ for a reason. If you press too hard right away, you’re just helping staining material, urine in this case, get deeper down into the carpet pile.

Third, continue blotting the area.

You can add water to the stained area and continue blotting it up. Water will help dilute the stain.

Some people believe adding vinegar is great for reducing the odor, but all it’s going to do is, in the long run, create a different kind of odor that will linger.

Fourth, contact a qualified carpet cleaning service.

Royal Interior Cleaning has been helping homeowners just like you for years keep their carpets protected, clean, and safe. They can spot clean a small area of your carpet at an affordable rate.

If you don’t rely on the experience and powerful equipment that a professional carpeting service has, some of that urine will remain, no matter how much you blot or scrub the carpet itself. Over time, especially during the winter when you have the windows and doors sealed tight, you’ll notice the odor due to that stain. By having it professionally cleaned, you can eliminate that problem right away.

Proper Care for Your Area Rugs

by |

persian and other fine rugsYou have some area rugs in your home. You have wall-to-wall carpeting as well. There is a significant difference between area rugs and wall-to-wall carpeting, though.

Area rugs can be rolled up and removed when needed. Wall-to-wall carpeting is fixed to the surface of your floors. Those area rugs may be placed in hallways like runners, along entryways to try and trap more debris that commonly gets tracked into the house from outside, or to help protect wall-to-wall carpet recently installed.

Caring for these area rugs is a little bit different than providing care for your wall-to-wall carpeting.

Vacuum regularly.

Just as with your wall-to-wall carpeting, you want to regularly vacuum your area rugs. It should be done at least once a week, if not more frequently than that.

However, keep in mind that vacuuming alone isn’t enough to keep your carpeting or area rugs completely clean. They still need to be professionally cleaned every once in a while, at least once a year, if not more often than that.

Rotate those area rugs.

You should get in the habit of turning the area rugs around to spread out wear patterns more evenly. If you don’t, you will begin to see wear marks in the center, alongside, or wherever people have a tendency to walk across the rug most frequently.

Move out of direct sunlight.

You should also consider moving your area rugs out of direct sunlight, as much as possible. The sunlight is going to fade the rug, especially the colors on it. If you can’t limit the amount of direct sunlight the area rug is exposed to, make sure you rotate it more frequently.

Have them professionally cleaned at least once a year.

This can include having a professional carpet cleaning service come to your home, roll up your area rugs, and take them away to have them professionally cleaned. The more you care for these area rugs, the more enjoyment you’ll get out of them as the years roll along. Eventually, though, you may need to consider replacing them with new area rugs.

The 3 Most Common Worries Homeowners Have About Carpet Cleaning

by |

Stain RemovalHiring a carpet cleaning service doesn’t have to be an overwhelming decision. It’s recommended that people get their carpets cleaned at least twice a year, but once a year at a minimum. The best way to do this is by hiring a professional and experienced carpet cleaning service.

Some homeowners have a variety of concerns when hiring various companies to perform services in or around their home. Below are the three most common worries that many homeowners have about carpet cleaning. Once you understand these and the truth surrounding them, it should make it easier for you to realize the true value of a carpet cleaning service.

Common Worry #1: Not being able to get out stains.

People look at their carpeting, especially light colored carpeting, and notice all of the stains that exist in it. They might not have noticed it for a while because they became used to it.

By seeing all of the stains, they don’t see the possibility that any carpet cleaning service, no matter how powerful the equipment or the cleaning solutions they use, is going to get those stains out. An experienced carpet cleaning company will have truck mounted equipment and the best cleaning solutions, as well as technique, that can get out just about any stain.

Common Worry #2: It won’t be safe for their family.

Every carpeting company is different, so it’s a good idea to ask what types of cleaning solutions they use before hiring them. You should choose a company that only uses environmentally safe cleaning solutions.

This means it will be safe for adults and children and the more information you provide to the carpet cleaning representative, especially about any allergies, the more likely though be able to determine the best solutions to use in your particular home.

Common Worry #3: Damage.

Many homeowners worry about damage that can be caused to the furniture and other items in their home. A carpet cleaning service that has been around for many years will likely have a great reputation for providing the best service while also taking care of their clients’ home when they are working there.

A company like Royal Interior Cleaning will bring a great deal of experience, professionalism, reliability, and integrity to every job. When you hire them, you won’t have to worry about these other issues.

Properly Prepare Your Home for a Carpet Cleaning

by |

5 dirty little secrets homecleaningThe moment you hire a carpet cleaning service, you may have a lot of questions. You might be wondering how you can properly prepare for this carpet cleaning. Keep in mind that, depending on the company you hire, these professionals may not be able or willing to move some large pieces of furniture, especially something like a china cabinet that has delicate items on the shelves.

If you want to every corner of the rooms in your home cleaned thoroughly, there are some things you should do before your scheduled carpet cleaning service.

Move all fragile items.

If you have a china cabinet, entertainment center, or anything else that has picture frames, trinkets, glassware, or anything else that could fall over if rattled, these should be moved.

You can place these safely and boxes, in the kitchen or some other room that won’t be cleaned by these professionals, just to make sure there are no mishaps.

Move small furniture items out.

You should remove all small furniture items out of each room. This can include coffee tables, end tables, lamps, and maybe even recliners or other chairs.

It’s not practical to remove couches, cabinets, bookshelves, or anything else like that. However, if you want the carpets under the surface is cleaned, it’s a good idea to remove as many items from them as possible. The carpet cleaning professionals can certainly move these out-of-the-way to get behind and under them, but if you have books on those bookshelves that weigh it down, and if it becomes too heavy, it won’t be moved.

Get animals safely out of sight.

Cats and dogs can pose unique challenges for professional cleaning services coming into your home. Make sure these pets are secured in a room that will not be cleaned that day. A bathroom, the basement, or some other area of your property is best to ensure safety for everyone.

When you follow these simple bits of advice, you’ll have your home properly prepared for carpet cleaning. The entire process will go more smoothly and you’ll be ecstatic with the results.

Common Questions People Have About Carpet Cleaning Services

by |

ask a questionHaving your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year will not only increase their longevity, thus saving you money over time, but they can also create a healthier environment within your home. When you have less dust, dirt, allergens, and other pollutants getting kicked up every time somebody walks across the carpeting, they will be breathing in fresher, healthier air.

People often have a lot of questions about carpet cleaning services, though, and we felt it was a good idea to lay out some of the most common questions people have asked over the years.

Common Question #1: How much do you charge?

To answer that is virtually impossible without seeing the carpeting, the type of carpets or rugs, and the size of each room. Every home is different, every room is different, and asking the company to give a general quote is a bit unfair.

Yes, once you lay out the number of rooms, the general size of the rooms, and other factors, a quality and experienced company will be able to give you a rough estimate on how much they may charge.

Common Question #2: Do I have to be home for this?

A reliable, honest, and experienced company will tell you that you don’t have to be home for their workers to get the job done. They will simply ask that you move any furniture or other items out of the way, especially delicate items you don’t want damaged.

Larger furniture items can be moved by professional and experienced carpet cleaners, and some items may not be touched due to their sheer size, weight, or the delicate nature of items that may be on their shelves.

Common Question #3: Can I get the carpet cleaning for a special party?

Yes. Even though it’s recommended that carpets be cleaned at least twice a year consistently, if you never do that, you can still get a professional carpet cleaning in preparation for a major party or other event in your home.
