How Important Are the Cleaning Solutions Used for Carpet Cleaning?

eco-friendlyWhen some people call on carpet cleaning services, they’re more concerned with the end result than anything else. Yet, the cleaning solutions used by carpet cleaning companies can have a direct impact on not only the cleanliness of those carpets, but also the health and safety of everyone in the house.

Some cleaning solutions are hazardous.

Many cleaning solutions come with warning labels about the dangers of ingesting them, being exposed to the fumes, and much more. It’s important to heed these warnings, but what does that mean for a carpet cleaning company? Some companies that are more focused on the end result, making sure their clients are satisfied with how their carpets look at the end of the day, may use what are considered unsafe or harsh chemicals.

In reality, there are plenty of environmentally safe cleaning solutions available to help get your carpets looking their best.

How to ensure you get the right company using the right cleaning solutions.

When you are concerned about what is brought into your home, you want to make sure you hire a company that is only going to use environmentally safe cleaning solutions. Are they as effective? Absolutely, but as long as the company uses the right cleaning machines.

For example, a small, new, startup cleaning company may not even on their own machines yet. They may rely on renting those machines, and they’re not nearly as powerful as truck mounted equipment. As a result, they may have a tendency to rely on harsher chemicals that can get the carpets cleaned more effectively.

Don’t expose your family or yourself to any unwanted chemicals or other cleaning solutions; hire Royal Interior Cleaning instead.

3 Tips for Properly Cleaning Your Leather Furniture

keeping leather cleanWhen you have leather furniture in your home, it can be a great feeling. You can ease back into it and feel that soft comfort envelop you.

Over time, though, if you don’t properly care for it, it can become worn out, dry, and look and feel old.

Below are three tips that can help you properly care for your leather furniture.

Tip #1: Keep it moist.

It’s important to provide nourishment for the leather. Even though it’s an inanimate object, it comes from rawhide and it’s a vital to make sure it stays moisturized properly.

Just like your skin, if you don’t properly moisturize it, it will dry out, become cracked, and won’t be quite as comfortable as it once had been. It’s a good idea to use linseed oil with white vinegar, two parts to one, and apply it to the leather.

When you apply this, allow it to soak in for 10 minutes and a buff it with a soft cloth. You might need to buff more than once to get the job done right.

Tip #2: Rubbing alcohol.

If there are stains that occurred in the leather furniture, you can use rubbing alcohol with a light cotton swab. Rub the alcohol over the area lightly and then use a blow dryer on low or no heat to dry the area.

If the stain is significant, you may want to apply a thick coat of a non-gel, non-oily cuticle remover. Allow this to set in overnight and then wipe it off with a damp cloth the next day.

Tip #3: Removing darker stains.

If there are darker stains, you can use one part lemon juice and one part cream of tartar. Make a paste of this and then apply it to the area of the leather furniture that is stained. Allow it to set in for 10 minutes and then apply another layer of paste. Use a damp sponge or other damp cloth to wipe it off.

If these tips don’t work for your particular leather furniture, whether because you waited too long to moisturize and it’s become worn out or the stain has set in, call Royal Interior Cleaning and one of our experienced professionals will come out your home, inspect the furniture, and advise what steps can be taken next to get them looking their best.

5 Signs a Carpet Cleaning Company Is Good

checklistOnce you realize the value of a quality carpet cleaning company, you want to choose one that’s going to treat you right, get the job done in a timely manner, and be affordable.

Below are five signs of a good, quality carpet cleaning company. If you find all of the signs in the company you choose, you’ll know you’re going to get a great job at a great price.

Sign #1: Experience.

The more experience a company has, the more likely they’ll be able to handle just about any job, from getting out stubborn stains to helping older carpets look as good as possible.

Keep in mind that any company guaranteeing your carpet will look just like brand new again, regardless of its age, is trying to pull a fast one. That’s a sign you should look the other way.

Sign #2: Responsive.

You want a company that’s going to be responsive. That means, when you call them and even if you have to leave a message, someone will get back to you in a decent amount of time. That means even if there’s an emergency, you’ll know someone from the company will get back to you as soon as possible, and with the right company that will be usually the same day or within 24 hours, as long as it’s not on the weekends.

Sign #3: Reviews.

The reviews a company receives from previous clients online can tell you a lot about them. It can tell you about their professionalism, quality of work they do, and their experience.

Check out some of the reviews of various carpet cleaning companies all throughout the Greater Toronto Area and you’ll notice one thing becomes clear: Royal Interior Cleaning is one of the best.

Sign #4: Professionalism.

A good company will have professional, courteous, and knowledgeable providers who come into your home to do the work. Professionalism means respecting you and your personal space as well as any special requests you might have.

Sign #5: Great equipment.

Carpet cleaning equipment can range from carry in devices to truck mounted equipment. Always rely on companies with professional cleaning equipment to get the job done right, every single time.

Those Walkways Leading to Your Home Matter When It Comes to Clean Carpets

Welcome matYou may be doing your best to keep your carpets clean, but it seems that no matter what you do, dirt and other debris keeps getting tracked in. You may have everyone in your house remove their shoes the moment they step through the door, and whether or not that’s successful, you still notice dirt getting tracked in.

Believe it or not, the walkways that lead to your home can have a direct impact on the cleanliness and condition of your carpets inside the house. That’s because leaves, dirt, and other items will collect on the surfaces. When people are walking through leaves and dirt, it’s getting caught on the soles of the shoes, but it can also be kicked up and caught in their socks and even sift down into their shoes.

In that short amount of time from the walkway to just inside the front door where they remove their shoes, they could already be tracking in dirt and other contaminants. Also, when people take their shoes off just inside the front door or other entry door, they have a tendency to remove them right where they stand before placing them on a mat or cubicle, for example.

As such, the dirt that gets knocked off from their shoes on the foyer is now getting tracked in by their socks.

The best way to help reduce this problem is to keep up with the cleanliness of your walkway. If you have a small blower, use it every three days to keep the walkway clean.

You may also want to consider having people step onto a mat, remove their shoes, then step off the mat without having their socks make contact with the mat.

When you do this you may notice an improvement in the cleanliness of your carpets, but nothing you do is going to completely eliminate dirt from getting tracked onto it. That’s why a professional carpeting service is invaluable at least once a year.

3 Tips to Help Preserve That Persian Rug Longer

persian and other fine rugsA Persian rug is an incredible investment. Even if you purchased it used, you likely spent several thousand dollars on it. Higher quality Persian rugs can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Just as with most other things, they can wear out over time, even if they are not being walked on. Persian rugs that are hung on walls as decorative art can become worn out, frayed, and require some repair in time.

If you have a Persian rug, it’s a good idea to call on an experienced and professional carpet cleaning service to have that rug also cleaned regularly. Once a year is minimal, but twice a year is optimal.

In the meantime, here are three tips that can help you preserve that Persian rug and allow it to last as long as possible.

Tip #1: Have it professionally cleaned regularly.

As noted, when you have a professional cleaning service come in and clean your carpets and area rugs twice a year, it helps to remove the dirt and other contaminants that can degrade color, texture, and quality.

Tip #2: Keep the rug out of direct sunlight.

If that’s unavoidable, consider replacing your older windows was something that has low-e film coating on it. That cuts down on the sun’s ultraviolet radiation that penetrates into your house that will fade, dry out, and destroy furniture, rugs, and other items in your home.

Tip #3: Change the wear patterns.

People have a tendency to walk down the middle of the hallway or along one simple path in any number of rooms in your home. If you have a Persian rug in the entryway to your house, pay attention to where people walk across that rug. If they walk on the left side more, turn the rug completely around every six months so the wear pattern is spread more evenly about. If possible, try to place the rug where people are much less likely to walk over it, especially without thinking.

When you follow these tips, it should help your Persian rug, that investment, last longer than you thought possible.
