How Old Is Too Old for a Vacuum Cleaner?

by |

tips to help keep your house looking goodThere is no right or wrong answer for this question, at least not with regard to the actual number of years a vacuum cleaner has been used. When you’re talking about a residential vacuum cleaner, there are some models that didn’t cost a lot that can hang around for 10, 15, or even 20 years or longer.

It basically comes down to a number of factors to determine whether or not the vacuum cleaner you’re using in your house at the moment is worth keeping or whether it’s time to make a new investment.

The quality of the vacuum is certainly going to make a difference. Higher quality vacuums will generally be constructed using higher quality parts. These parts are less likely to break or break down as compared to a much cheaper vacuum cleaner.

The overall use will also have an impact. If the vacuum cleaner is being used to pick up pennies, paperclips, and a host of other junk, including cat litter, rocks and pebbles, and more, it’s most likely going to break down much quicker.

Just because the internal components are spinning, it’s making noise, and is still sucking objects up doesn’t mean the vacuum cleaner is doing the job it was designed to do. A simple crack that leads to a break in the frame around the beater bar can affect the suction. This can make it much less effective at getting dirt and dust out of the carpet pile.

If you have any questions about the viability, strength, or durability of your current vacuum cleaner, it’s time to consider getting a new one. Even so, a new vacuum cleaner isn’t going to be enough to improve the cleanliness of old, worn out carpets. Only a professional carpet cleaning service can help in that regard. Still, once you have your carpets professionally cleaned, you want the right type of vacuum on hand to maintain it as well as possible for as long as possible.

The One Place Dirt Loves to Hide in Your Home (That You’re Already Likely Cleaning Regularly)

by |

Carpet WarrantiesYou vacuum once a week. It’s a good habit to get into, especially if you have wall-to-wall carpeting. Even if you only have some area rugs, vacuuming can be a great way to help get some dirt and other debris up, but it’s not enough.

Dirt loves to hide in the carpet fibers. You may have a deep pile carpet that looks clean, and even after you vacuum, the container or bag doesn’t seem to fill up nearly as quickly as it used to.

That doesn’t mean the carpet is completely clean, nor does it mean all of that dirt is out of it. In most cases, dirt, dust, allergens, and other pollutants can get caught in the carpet fibers. Once they pass a certain point, it would require an incredibly strong vacuum cleaner, usually far stronger than most residential cleaners, to get any of it up. With every step and disturbance of the carpet itself, that dirt and other pollutants are getting deeper and deeper into the carpet pile.

That means regular vacuuming is just not doing as much as you probably thought it was. That’s why it’s such a good idea to call on the services of a professional carpet cleaning company.

What professional carpet cleaning does.

Using a combination of water and extremely powerful machines, along with some natural cleaning solutions, if you hire the right company, it helps to trap and remove the maximum amount of dirt possible from the carpet itself.

Truck mounted equipment is the best type of equipment any carpet cleaning company can use. A company that carries in the equipment with them and doesn’t have truck mounted equipment on hand is not likely the kind of company you want to hire.

Experience is also essential. The more experience a person has professional carpet cleaning, the more likely they’ll be able to get the maximum amount of dirt out of your carpet, leaving your home looking, smelling, and feeling as clean as possible.

5 Spring Cleaning Tips That Truly Make a Difference

by |

carpet cleaning torontoWinter is now in the rearview mirror which means spring cleaning is probably at hand. Millions of people all across the country take to spring cleaning as a way to help clear out the stale air from the winter, start fresh for the spring months ahead, and feel rejuvenated at last.

Spring cleaning can be a number of small projects or a major one that everyone in the household can enjoy working on together. In order to get the most out of this opportunity, here are five spring cleaning tips you might want to keep in mind.

Spring Cleaning Tip #1: Start at the top.

The ceiling, crown molding, corners and edges where the wall meets the ceiling, and ceiling fans and lights should all be cleaned first. When you start from the top and work your way down, the dust that gets disturbed first will eventually settle onto the floor, furniture, carpeting, and other surfaces that you will clean later.

Spring Cleaning Tip #2: Break large jobs down.

It’s easy to be ambitious, especially when the weather finally gets warm, but when you start with large jobs and they don’t get finished within a few hours, it’s easy to lose interest.

Instead, break the large jobs down into a number of smaller tasks that can be handled in a relatively short amount of time.

Spring Cleaning Tip #3: Use natural cleaning solutions.

Some of the harsh cleaning solutions are not only bad for your health, they’re also bad for the environment. Focus on natural cleaning solutions instead, such as orange enhanced cleaners and other similar products.

Spring Cleaning Tip #4: Get everyone involved.

If you live alone, call on some friends or family members to help out, especially when you’re doing a major, thorough cleaning of the entire house from top to bottom. If you have a spouse and children, make sure they are involved in this spring cleaning project. When people are invested in the cleanliness of their home, they will do more to help keep it clean moving forward.

Spring Cleaning Tip #5: Hire a professional carpet cleaning service.

Once everything else is cleaned in your house, a professional carpet cleaning service can be a great asset. This helps to get all of the last dust, dirt, and other allergens and pollutants out of your home.

That will allow you and everyone in your family an opportunity to breathe fresh air and enjoy the new feel of your home.

Choosing the Best Vacuum for Your Home’s Environment

by |

tips to help keep your house looking goodYou just had brand-new carpeting installed in your home. It feels great, you love the smell, and especially love the feel of it under your feet or when you lay down on it. It’s a great feeling to have brand-new carpeting installed in your home.

It invites in fresh air, can inspire more cleaning and a new interior decor. In order to keep that carpeting looking it’s best, you need to vacuum on a consistent basis. You should also plan on having a professional carpet cleaning service come in and clean those carpets at least once a year, but it’s best to have it done twice a year, usually in the spring and fall.

The type of vacuum cleaner you choose can have a direct impact on how well you maintain your carpeting. Choosing any old vacuum or the cheapest one you could possibly find is not going to do you any favors. Here’s what you should look for in a quality vacuum cleaner.

Power.

The stronger the vacuum, the more likely you’re going to get the maximum quantity of dirt, dust, and other foreign contaminants out of the carpet pile. However, no matter how powerful a vacuum cleaner is, some of it is going to get caught in the carpet fiber and work its way a bit deeper into the carpet pile.

That’s why it’s such a good idea to have them professionally cleaned with a company that relies upon truck mounted equipment.

HEPA filters.

It’s a good idea to invest in a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA filter. This helps to trap the maximum amount of foreign particulates, especially microscopic particulates that float through the air. This will reduce the impact of allergies, colds, and other health issues.

The right attachments.

You should choose a vacuum that has easy to use attachments for upholstery, baseboards, and corners. If you have to struggle to connect these items you’ll be less likely to use them. Yet, you should be using these every single time you vacuum.

You should be vacuuming your couches and other furniture, along the window treatments, in the corners, under furniture, and everywhere else you can reach. Having the right attachments will make that job much easier.

Checking in On Your New Carpet

Bed Bugs Don’t Just Breed in Mattresses: They Can Also be Hiding in Your Carpeting and FurnitureYou had brand-new carpeting installed recently and it looks great. You’re thrilled with your choice and you’ve done everything you can to make sure you’ve protected it for as long as possible.

You might have two or three children running around your house on a daily basis, and even more on the weekends when they bring their friends over. You make sure they remove their shoes and only walk on the carpet with their socks. You also make sure nobody brings food into any of those rooms that have that brand new carpeting in it.

After a few months, how do you know if everything is going well and your carpets are truly being protected? If you have kids, a husband, or some other people in your house who are there when you’re not around, there is always a possibility they don’t quite listen to the instructions given, especially when it comes to food and beverages in those rooms.

You may want to move your furniture to check the carpet for stains. There may have been a little bit of grape juice or something else spilled near the couch but it was covered up. There may have been crumbs dropped that were kicked under an entertainment center. Over time, this can affect the condition and quality of your new carpeting.

Even though you had brand new carpeting installed recently, it’s a good idea to have it professionally cleaned at least once a year, or more depending on the wear and tear it receives.

Researchers indicate that the more often you have your wall-to-wall carpeting professionally cleaned by a quality company, the more years you’ll get out of it. That can save you a tremendous amount of money over time.

If you notice the new carpet smell is no longer present, potential stains or other issues, or anything else that causes you concern, call Royal Interior Cleaning today.
