Experienced Carpet Cleaning Professionals Have the Best Technique

onedirectionTechnique is incredibly important when it comes to many cleaning services. When you’re talking about carpet cleaning services, the technique the individual uses to help get those carpets clean can be just as important, if not more so, than the actual equipment or cleaning solutions they use.

An inexperienced carpet cleaning professional may approach the cleaning process in a similar fashion to vacuum cleaning at their home. It seems to make sense, and it is a far too common mistake among many new, inexperienced carpet cleaning companies and professionals.

Cleaning in one direction.

This is one of the most common mistakes most carpet cleaning professionals who have just started doing this work make. They only clean in one direction. In reality, the carpet can appear to be matted down in every direction, but in most cases the carpet fibers will likely fold one way or another.

It’s similar to mowing the grass and ‘training’ the grass blades to lean a certain direction. That’s what creates the various colored texture of lines in a well maintained lawn.

In order to thoroughly clean carpet, it’s important to vacuum or use the carpet cleaning machine in two directions. Relying on a perpendicular set up, it helps to maximize the efficiency of the carpet cleaning machines to get the most dirt and debris out of the carpet fibers.

Also, going slow is essential. A person who moves too fast won’t allow the carpet cleaning machine to either inject the right amount of water deep into the carpet pile or the suction to draw it all back out, bringing along with it most of the dirt, dust, and other pollutants.

When hiring a carpet cleaning service, make sure to ask about the level of experience of the people who will actually be doing the work. With quality experience, your carpets can look almost like new, regardless of their age.

Clutter, Carpet Cleanliness, and Keeping Everyone Safe at Home

The Second 3 Steps to Get Your Home Ready for a Summer PartySafety should always be a top priority for everyone in your household. Whether you have small children, seniors, or some friends staying with you for an extended period of time, it’s far too easy to get caught up in daily life and the hustle and bustle of shopping, working, and preparing meals and forget to focus on the cleanliness of your home.

Clutter can be a major problem for people, especially when they live in the same place for many years. Clutter is basically a collection of items, which could be furniture, books, boxes, or anything else, that takes up space and isn’t put away in an appropriate location.

The more clutter that builds up around your house, the more dust and dirt is going to collect on various surfaces and it will also make it much more difficult for you to keep your home clean and healthy for everyone.

How does clutter affect carpet cleanliness?

The more items you have in any room of the house, the more items you have to vacuum around when it comes time to clean for the week. When you have an incredibly busy schedule, you’re much less likely to take out the hose attachment and try to get as close to all of the items as possible. That allows dust and dirt to build up, especially in close proximity to all of those items.

Also, when there’s more clutter, there’s more temptation to avoid taking the simple steps that would improve cleanliness throughout the home. That can include removing shoes when you step into the house, not eating food in the living room or family room on top of the carpet, or even cleaning up a spill or mess thoroughly.

Spring is a great opportunity to thoroughly clean your house inside and out as well as de-clutter it. It’s also a great opportunity to call on the services of the carpet cleaning company to help you start fresh and feel great. It can also have a positive influence on the overall indoor air quality and, ultimately, health of everyone in the house.

3 Tips to Finding the Best Carpet Cleaning Service

carpet cleaning tipsYou’ve made a decision to hire a carpet cleaning service for your home. It’s a great decision and one that’s best when you have somebody come out at least twice per year. It’s important to choose the right company, though, because the wrong one can leave your carpets not looking as clean or fresh as they possibly can.

Here are some tips that can help you find the best carpet cleaning service in the area.

Tip #1: Look at experience.

A company that has been around for quite some time is going to have gained a lot more experience than a new company, especially one that is run by a relatively young individual.

It doesn’t necessarily take many years to gain quality experience, but technique, choosing the right equipment, and using healthy and safe cleaning solutions all comes over time.

Tip #2: Consider the equipment they use.

Many small, new startup cleaning services rely on carpet cleaning machines that they carry into your house. This may seem reasonable, but there are two major problems with this issue. First, do you know that they own the equipment or are they renting it per job? If they’re renting the equipment, you have no idea who used it before them and for what purpose. It could have been used to clean up toxic materials or human waste.

Second, truck mounted equipment is far more powerful than anything that can be carried into your house by hand. Only truck mounted equipment is truly going to get your carpets as clean as possible.

Tip #3: Look at reviews.

The Internet provides an opportunity for any business to be reviewed by customers or clients. Take a look at some of the reviews of the company you’re considering hiring to determine what others have said about them in the past.

Chicken Slime, Kitchen Counters, and Keeping Everyone Safe

Proper Care for Granite Kitchen Countertops that Can Keep them Looking Great for YearsChicken. It’s one of the several foods that can cause a lot of harm to people if not cooked thoroughly. In fact, the internal temperature of chicken should be a minimum of 74°C, otherwise somebody could become extremely ill as a result of eating raw or not thoroughly cooked chicken.

Most people who have any type of experience in the kitchen already know this, but what they fail to realize is that in preparing a meal that contains chicken, there could be some of the juices or ‘slime’ from the chicken that gets spilled onto the countertop.

Using a cutting board, preferably a wooden cutting board, is an ideal situation for helping to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria and other diseases from poultry, but even that can’t completely prevent chicken juice or other substances from getting spilled onto the countertop.

If the countertop is granite or marble, it can certainly look great, but it’s also porous. That means liquid can become absorbed deeper into the pores of these stone surfaces. That makes it exceedingly difficult to thoroughly clean those countertops.

If anything is left behind, bacteria can fester on the surface. Even though the countertop looks clean and everything smells fine, setting a glass down on the countertop while pouring water into it, for example, can help to transfer the bacteria onto that glass and then to other parts of the house.

When that happens, other surfaces become contaminated as well. Bacteria, as it moves throughout the house, increases the risk of spreading to other people. Some bacteria can survive for 24 to 48 hours without a host. That’s plenty of time for people to become ill, all from an innocent mistake.

It’s important to make sure all countertops are cleaned thoroughly after preparing a meal, whether it’s pork, poultry, fish, beef, or any other type of protein. Using the right cleaning materials and solutions is key to helping you maintain a happy and healthy home.

Why the Cleanliness of Your Bathroom Affects the Rest of Your House

5 Commonly Overlooked Areas of Your Bathroom that Aren’t Clean!The bathroom. It’s one room in the house that everyone uses every single day. The same doesn’t necessarily have to be true of every other room, but that bathroom can see quite a bit of use, and abuse.

While it’s easy to get caught up in everyday life and let certain things slide, it’s important to not allow the cleanliness of your bathroom to slide. That’s because how clean your bathroom is (or actually, how dirty it gets) can actually have a direct impact on every other room in the entire house. Here are some reasons why that happens to be the case.

First, bathrooms hold a lot of germs.

It’s not just germs, but also bacteria. These germs and bacteria can form along the sink, on the floor around the toilet, in the shower or bathtub, and elsewhere. The ceramic or linoleum tile floor surface is not going to allow those germs or bacteria to disappear.

They can get tracked out onto other surfaces, including onto wall-to-wall carpet, area rugs, and hardwood floor surfaces.

Second, most people will head to the bathroom first thing in the morning, even before they put on socks or slippers. Even if they have slippers and socks on, they will be tracking those germs, bacteria, and other pollutants throughout the house.

Just because you don’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen or exist. When you have your carpets professionally cleaned, they are brand new and have just been installed, or you want to create a healthier environment for your entire house, even though you’d love to have your kids keep their bedrooms clean, keeping that bathroom clean is going to have a direct impact on the health and well-being of your entire household.

So, the next time you call on a professional carpet cleaning service to come out to your home, make sure all of those bathrooms are cleaned thoroughly to prevent the spread of germs and bacteria elsewhere throughout the house.
