Here are some tips to Avoid Carpet Cleaning

Carpet Cleaning League City TX : Tips to Avoid it!

Carpet Cleaning League City TX : Tips to Avoid it!

Your conscious of it but you ignore it, more cleaning in one way or another. Let’s prevent a bunch of spring cleaning, save you money, and make your floors last a long time.

We all know that once in a while our floors need some very serious attention. The attention usually means one of two things: lots of effort to clean your floors or money to pay a good League City carpet cleaner. This information will help you reduce the amount of attention your floors require and make them last a lot longer.

The most important thing you can do to make your carpet last a long time and stay fairly clean is to vacuum it. That’s correct. You know that but how often do you do it? How often and how much effort you put into cleaning makes a huge difference in the long run. Here is some guidance on the subject. First you should find yourself a good vacuum. Click to learn how to choose the right vacuum for your carpet type. If you already have a vacuum that you love or want to stick with, make sure it’s working properly. This means cleaning the vacuum brush bar, verifying that the tubes on it are clear of obstruction, making sure your drive belt is not busted, and the recover tank or filter bag are replaced when filled.

Now let’s get down to business. With regular traffic in a home, every two weeks is the appropriate interval for vacuuming. If you have kids and pets (high amounts of traffic) then vacuuming once a week is more appropriate. Say it’s just you and your spouse that live in the home and you don’t do much running around, then vacuuming intervals should be more like once a month. A good rule of thumb when vacuuming is to overlap by 50% to cover each area at least twice. Another option is to cover each area twice from different directions. If vacuuming your home fills up your recovery tank or filter bag more than once, you should be doing it more often.

The second most important thing you can do to prevent ‘carpet cleaning League City TX from being your next search phrase is place a rug near all entrances to your home or establishment. As a professional floor care expert we are taught that the rug should be approximately ten steps long. I, personally, keep a ten foot by two foot rug at my front door because my entry way is narrow. If you have a large entry way that splits into multiple directions, a larger rug would be more appropriate, either that or more rugs.

These rugs at your entry points will allow most dirt and gunk from the bottom of your shoes to be tracked onto them instead of your actual flooring. These rugs may also need more attention than the rest of your home. You should consider vacuuming them twice as often as the rest of your living spaces.

The third most important factor for preventive maintenance has to do with your local cleaner. Now is the time to hit the web searching for ‘carpet cleaning League City TX’ and get a good cleaner. Verify that they cover all of the professional steps of hot water extraction and offer a carpet protector such as Scotchgard Carpet and Upholstery Protector.

A lot of modern carpet comes from the factory with a protective Teflon coating on them. With time that coating wears off, usually it doesn’t take more than a year (at least for the traffic areas). Then after the protective layer is worked through, the fibers start becoming damaged. Having a fresh layer of protection applied with every regular cleaning helps keep that shield active. It also makes vacuuming and cleaning spills much easier. Carpet protection is a preventive maintenance step that most of my clients decline. This is how I put it, “Take care of it and have it last you 25 years or neglect it and pay to replace it every 8 years.”

I assume if you’re reading this that you live in the Southeast Houston bay area. For those of us who do, we are very aware of the terrible allergy problems. For those of you outside the area, I’m sure you have your fair share of pollen problems. To keep those problems out of your home its best to hire a great carpet cleaning League City TX company about once a year and to keep the dust swept up from your tile. Because particulates fall these are the places allergens are most likely to settle.

Tip for tile: Vacuum the edges of the room where most dust and soil settles before sweeping. This will prevent the really light dust from being swept back into the air and catch it in the vacuum instead.

Kids and pets are the number one source for dirty carpet and floors all together. We love them all though they cost us dearly. Children may get a hold of the wrong markers and permanently stain areas. With all the sports and activity every one of us tracks in dirt and grass now and again. Pets have accidents one time or another and may even bring in soil after using the bathroom outside. Then we deal with hair loss whether it be from one of us or our pets. Over time that hair piles up and is not to visible on carpet until you run your hand across the floor. Run a lint roller across your carpet and just see what you pick up.

Much of the soil and debris in carpet can be removed with a household floor vacuum. Vacuuming high traffic areas at least once a week can really extend the life of your carpet. Letting a few weeks pass give the debris time to settle into the bottom of fibers making it very difficult, if not impossible, to get out. Consistent vacuuming will also keep the fallen hair from piling up. This means that when you have a carpet cleaning Webster technician visit you, you get better results.

Making a call at least once a year to have your floors professionally cleaned is a great idea. You may try or have tried a do it yourself machine from the local grocery. If you have then you will be amazed by how much better the professionals can do. Though you may vacuum regularly as suggested, accidents will happen and over time soil will build up in your traffic areas. We suggest having an expert cleaning before traffic areas get really bad, hence, at least once a year.

People need professional carpet care to be much better than a do it yourself product. You have some dirty carpets on your floor and you live near the water in a very humid area. Cleaning the floor with rental machines such as Rug Doctors just doesn’t cut it for most. The vacuum recovery on the machine just isn’t enough to prevent a musky smell from forming.

That’s actually what got me to writing this. I got a call a few days ago from a lady in Friendswood TX. She was telling me how she used her rental carpet cleaning machine. She told me how it sort of cleaned the carpet but after a day the carpet was still wet and now a musky smell remained in the home. She wanted us to come out and get the smell gone, carpets dry, and actually clean them. Of course that was no problem for us but unfortunate for the lady.

Not only has our caller put in a lot of time and effort into half cleaning a floor but now it remains wet for too long and the house stinks.

Now she has to spend more money and time calling out a professional carpet cleaning Friendswood TX. If only she started with the right call, less time and money would of went down the drain.

Living in a high humidity area makes it really hard to get things air dried. Because of this I have implemented the use of high velocity air movers in my company and WOW it makes a difference.

Now, a lot of people believe it’s best to open the windows and let the fresh air in. That’s a great idea for anyone in a dry environment. In our case, after carpet cleaning Friendswood TX, its best to use the air conditioners dehumidifying ability to remove the moisture from the air. Keeping the windows closed and AC on with as many fans moving as possible is the best way to get your wet carpet dry. And if you want a real cleaning, call a professional the first time.

Carpet Cleaning League City TX : How to Avoid Bad Service

If you’re reading this then I’m sure you’re looking to find some information about carpet cleaning League City TX or how to avoid bad service providers. Really, what I’m going to talk about applies to most fields of home services. Though you will find many more keys or tips, I’m going to cover a few off the top of my head.

Start with reviews. It’s really easy to find reviews of a company on the World Wide Web. If a company has completed a few bad services someone will post something about them on the web. The companies that are doing good will have just the opposite, good reviews or postings about them. Google maps may have some reviews, Angie’s List is a good place to look, and then you have Yellow Pages, Facebook, and a ton of other service listing companies that I’m sure have reviews.

Before and After during carpet cleaning League City TX

Once you have found a few that are acceptable give them a call. Ask questions, listen for professionalism, and avoid anyone trying to rush you into an appointment. Asking questions to verify what kind of services they can provide is important because its lets you know how much they know about their field of expertise. If they cannot answer your questions very well or honestly they it’s likely they are hiding something or do not know the business to well. Neither of these things is positive. If you find a company, or whoever may answer the phone, trying to push you into an appointment it’s likely that it will be even worse when they are on the job. With carpet cleaning League City TX you may have someone pushing carpet protector onto you. With a remodeling company you might have someone pushing you to have the marble counter top they have in the shop when you want something else that actually matches the kitchen.

Now you have probably found the right company you want to go with. It may have been the first call you made or your third call. Now is a good time to schedule someone to come out and evaluate your home or area that you need services. Most service companies around League City provide free estimates or quotes. In my field and area, carpet cleaning League City TX, quotes and evaluations are free of charge. Sometimes we do the cleaning right then and there, other times our clients schedule for a more appropriate time. Now you have the employee in your home that’s been filtered via the previous suggestions. This is the last test or examination period to really decide if this is the right company for you.

What to expect from any professional when they clean your carpet at no extra charge. 

By now you should know who you have decided to have service your home. Do all of us a favor and do not schedule an appointment with a company you don’t feel comfortable with. Firstly, you should not be providing work to unsettling companies. When you are comfortable with the one, schedule with them. Please, do not cancel without notifying them. It is one of the most aggravating things for the service industry, for someone to reschedule or cancel at the last moment. And after using the company, leave a review to let us all know how they did.
