Three Reasons Pets Can Ruin Your Carpeting

by |

pet-dog-cat-urine-on-carpetPets can be great. Whether it’s a cat, dog, or some other animal, they can offer companionship and research studies have shown that can help alleviate significant levels of anxiety and even help people lower blood pressure. Just the simple act of petting a small cat or dog helps to soothe the person doing it.

There are many wonderful benefits to having a pet, but they can also destroy your carpeting. Here are three reasons pets can actually ruin your carpeting.

Reason #1: Urine.

When a cat is trained to use the litter box, it will generally do that consistently each and every time. However, if that litter box is not cleaned out consistently, it’s not only an unsanitary and unhealthy situation, it can also force that animal to seek somewhere else to relieve itself.

Dogs can sometimes have accidents even after they are house trained. The urine or feces can stay in the carpet, get deep down into the carpet pile, and create an unpleasant odor.

Reason #2: Shedding.

Most dogs and cats shed their fur on a consistent basis. Even though you may vacuum every couple of days, some of that fur is going to get trapped in the carpet fibers. Over time, it’s going to change the appearance of your carpeting, making it appear a bit older and dirtier.

Reason #3: Tracking in dirt and mud.

Dogs or even outdoor cats will often bring in a lot of dirt and other foreign contaminants into your house. Some of this can be almost impossible to see with the naked eye, especially if it is the same color of your carpeting. However, even if you vacuum consistently, it’s not going to get all of that dirt up.

That’s why it’s so important to rely on a professional carpet cleaning service every six months if you own a pet. That will help your home smell fresher and be healthier now and well into the future.

Why a Quick Vacuuming Is Not Getting Your Carpets Properly Cleaned

by |

tips to help keep your house looking goodYou have kids, a full-time job, maybe a couple of part-time jobs, and numerous other responsibilities going on in your life. You don’t have a lot of time to devote to cleaning in your home. As a result, when it comes to your carpets and area rugs, you may simply run a vacuum cleaner over the surface quickly.

It certainly might look as though the carpets have been cleaned well enough, but they haven’t. In reality, all you’ve done is clean the uppermost level of the carpet fibers, allowing the dirt, dust, and other pollutants to work deeper into the carpet pile. Even though you can’t see it, your carpets are not clean or providing the top level of health for you and the rest of your family.

Running that vacuum cleaner quickly over your carpeting is going to put nice lines that make it appear clean. However, dirt, dust, and other pollutants can cling to the carpet fibers which means you want that vacuum cleaner to be on top of each portion of the carpeting for an extended length of time, allowing the suction of the vacuum work its magic.

What you want to do to vacuum properly is break your room into quadrants, do one quadrant at a time by vacuuming slowly in one direction then back, and then shifting in a perpendicular direction.

You should spend a fair amount of time with that vacuum cleaner going over each room. If you have limited time to get all of this done, do a different room every day of the week. By the end of the week you should have every room thoroughly vacuumed and be ready to start the routine once again.

If you really want a clean and healthy carpet, make sure you dust consistently as well and rely on a professional carpet cleaning service every six months. It can make a world of difference for you and your family.

3 Reasons to Rotate the Furniture in Your Home

by |

area -rugYou made a significant investment in the carpeting of your home. On top of that you chose a powerful vacuum cleaner to help keep them looking their best. Maybe you even do the right thing and invest in a carpet cleaning service every six months.

Those are all great things that are going to add years to your carpeting. But there’s also something important that many homeowners overlook and that happens to be rotating the furniture in each room of the house.

The average house has limited space when it comes to most of the rooms inside. A bedroom may only be 3 or 4 meters x 3 or 4 meters. That certainly limits options when it comes to arranging the bed, nightstands, dressers, and more.

The same may hold true in a family room or living room. On top of that, in a home office or family room where there’s a TV, the cable or phone line that comes into the house to provide the signal for the television stations may be along one wall. It may not be practical to move everything to a different wall.

However, if you want to keep your carpets looking as well as possible for as long as possible, it’s a good idea to rotate the furniture. Here are three reasons why.

Reason #1: It allows the carpeting to breathe.

When furniture is placed in one spot on the carpet for the duration of many years, that carpeting beneath it is not getting an opportunity to breathe. It’s not allowing certain allergens or other pollutants to be removed from the carpeting itself.

Reason #2: It evens out the fading.

When the sun enters your home, its ultraviolet radiation is going to fade furniture and carpeting. When you don’t rotate furniture, the fading is not going to be consistent. By rotating the furniture, it helps to even out the color of your carpeting.

Reason #3: It can offer a refreshing change.

When you rotate your furniture you can feel like you’re in a new room every few months. You don’t have to rotate your furniture all that often, but every six months is a good gage to coincide with how often you should have your carpets professionally cleaned.

Before and After the Holidays is Ideal for a Carpet Cleaning Service

by |

carpet cleaning tipsWhile you may be skeptical about hiring a carpet cleaning service every six months, but there are plenty of good reasons to do this. You made a significant investment in the carpeting in your home and when you have them professionally cleaned on a consistent and regular basis, it can add years to the carpet’s life.

When you consider spending $5,000 or even more on wall-to-wall carpeting throughout your home, it stands to reason that investing once or twice a year in a professional carpet cleaning can extend the length of that carpeting by three or four years, and even more in many cases. It’s a worthy investment.

While the holidays may be over, you probably entertained guests at some point during the holiday season. Whether it was family coming over for Christmas, Hanukkah, or some other celebration, or you’re hosting a New Year’s Eve party, it’s time to have your carpets professionally cleaned.

It’s a good idea to have them cleaned before a major special event as well as afterward. Why beforehand? It allows the carpets to be looking as great as possible.

When people come into your home and see your carpets looking amazing, it’s going to make the entire house look even better. It doesn’t matter how much you dust or clean all of your furniture, if the carpets are dirty, dingy looking, and old looking, it’s going to make the entire house appear that way as well.

As for after the holidays, people are often walking around your carpets without taking their shoes off. It can be an inconvenience to request people remove their shoes, especially for having numerous guests visiting. You want everyone to feel comfortable, but at the same time they have tracked in dirt, pebbles, and other foreign contaminants. If they were eating snacks or even a full meal, food particles likely dribbled down from the plate onto the carpet. You can certainly vacuum and get a lot of it up, but nothing is going to clean those carpets thoroughly like a professional cleaning service.

That’s why it’s a great idea to hire Royal Interior Cleaning this January.

A Great Strategy for Properly Vacuuming Each Room in the Home

by |

tips to help keep your house looking goodKeeping your carpets looking as good as possible and lasting for as long as possible is a matter of regular cleaning and doing what you can to help protect them. Many people require that their children, guests, and anyone else entering the home remove their shoes before stepping on carpeting, especially when that carpeting is installed brand-new.

It’s certainly beneficial to rely on a professional and experienced carpet cleaning company to come in and clean them with truck mounted equipment every six months, but in between those regular cleanings, vacuuming is essential.

However, recent studies have indicated that the vast majority of people don’t know how to vacuum properly. They have a tendency to move the vacuum cleaner over the carpeting quickly and in a haphazard fashion.

Here is one strategy that can help you vacuum each room more effectively.

Begin with quadrants.

A quadrant is basically one quarter of the room. By breaking down each room into four quadrants, it can allow you the opportunity to vacuum those floors as efficiently and effectively as possible. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a bedroom, living room, or even a family room.

Most rooms have furniture and other items along the floor. Large furniture items will not be practical to have them moved. Instead of moving them, you certainly want to use the hose attachment and vacuum along the edge of the furniture to get up the debris that the beater bar on the vacuum is not going to reach.

Start with one quarter of the room, clear away whatever movable items there are, and vacuum there. Make sure you get along the baseboards, on heating registers, and in other hard-to-reach areas. Vacuum that quadrant of the room moving the vacuum slowly across the surface of the carpeting to give the machine enough time to suction out as much dirt and debris as possible.

Once you’ve finished vacuuming that quadrant in one direction, do it in a perpendicular direction. When you have finished with that quadrant, move objects off and adjacent quadrant and do that. Continue this until the entire room is vacuumed and you will have a much cleaner and healthier carpet.

Just don’t ignore the benefits of a professional carpet cleaning every six months.
