The Importance: Truck Mounted Hot Water Extraction

Sean — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:38:22 +0000

Everyday, I receive calls for carpet cleaning appointments. Every so often new clients want to make sure that I use truck mounted hot water extraction. Something I want to clarify about truck mounted carpet cleaning, is that not all carpet cleaners are the same. Many use the same equipment and even brag about the power of their truck mounted cleaning system. Just because a carpet cleaner uses hot water extraction delivered via a truck mount doesn’t mean that it is a good cleaning. It is impotant to hire a carpet cleaner that follows the cleaning procedures recommended by fiber manufacturers. Following cleaning recommendations means that they use a neutralizing rinse that essentially stops the detergent from working. If the detergent is not neutralized the carpet WILL rapidly re-soil and turn hard and crunchy. If you want soft and fluffy carpets that stay cleaner longer make sure your carpet cleaner is using a neutraliziing rinse.

Today’s Topic: The Importance of Carpet Cleaning Reviews

Sean — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 08:46:05 +0000

Your home is your castle and the place you take great pride knowing it is clean for you and your family. Everyone has budget concerns when hiring a Portland carpet cleaning company. I understand the importance of receiving value for your cleaning dollars.

Tips

To help you find a great carpet cleaner in your area I am going to offer a couple tips.

To find a carpet cleaner I would recommend reading reviews from their customers. Some carpet cleaners have video testimonials that feature the carpet cleaner’s clients talking about their cleaning experience on video. You can also read carpet cleaning reviews on google reviews.

Another tip I would mention is to hire a carpet cleaner that is certified by the IICRC. A carpet cleaner who is certified is dedicated to learning how to properly clean carpet. By reading the carpet cleaner’s reviews you will most likely read about their client’s past cleaning experiences and how the carpet cleaner you are reviewing provided great service and the exact type of service he/she provided.

So when looking for a great carpet cleaner remember to look at their reviews on google. This a great source for finding the best carpet cleaner in your area.

How to Spill Proof the Carpet in Your Home

Sean — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 03:37:45 +0000

How To “Spill Proof” Your Home!

You could go through and cover your home in plastic. You know, crinkly, thick plastic just like you see some grandmas on TV shows doing. Just imagine how comfortable that would be. No way! Don’t worry today there are products available that do the same job as that plastic by putting a little barrier between your carpets/fabrics and stains. It’s invisible and you can’t feel it. But it works.

These protective barriers are usually applied to your carpets and upholstered items at the factory. But with time, wear and cleanings the protective finish diminishes and your carpets and furniture become vulnerable to stains.

As a professional carpet and upholstery cleaner in Portland I have access to the best of the best of these protective products and can properly re-apply them so that your furniture and carpets are virtually “spill proof”. I can help you to determine how long it’s been since your furniture and carpets have been protected and determine a schedule for re-applications.

“Is It Safe? How Does It Work?”

These products have been used in homes and on furniture for decades. The newest products arenon-toxic, safe for you, your family and your pets. They are CFC and solvent free.

They work by creating a protective shield around each fiber. This shield turns your furniture and carpets into stain repellers. Today’s protectants offer:

Stronger protection against oil-based spills and stains
Outstanding dry soil resistance
Excellent repellency- spills will bead up instead of soak in
They work great on all carpet fibers and most upholstery fibers
They are safe and non-toxic
Your vacuuming will be more efficient and your carpets/upholstery easier to clean
Your carpets and upholstery will stay cleaner and brighter longer

As a bonus it’s good to note that some carpet manufacturer’s will void your carpet’s warranty if it is not properly maintained and protected with the right products.

Benefits of Regular Scheduled Carpet Cleaning

Sean — Sun, 11 Oct 2009 06:55:29 +0000

Every so often I receive a call at my carpet cleaning Portland office asking how often carpet should be cleaned?

Carpet manufacturers recommend that carpets should be professionally cleaned every 6-18 months.

In most cases I would recommend having your carpets cleaned at least once a year. To help my great Portland carpet cleaning clients take the best care of their home I offer specials to get their carpets cleaned twice a year.

The advantages to regular cleaning is that it maintains your carpet manufactuers warranty, keeps filtration lines in check, improves in-door air quality, and much more.

It feels really great when I can go out and clean some really dirty carpet and make it look like new again. Hey, I haven’t developed a great bag of magic cleaning tricks for nothing.

Wool Carpet Cleaning Advice and Story

Sean — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 05:07:48 +0000

The other day I received a call at my Carpet Cleaning Portland office by a new client that had some carpet in need of a thorough cleaning. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more about the carpet. We discussed previous incidents that happened to the carpet. I learned that there had been previous pet issues and the occasional spills. To my surprise she mentioned that the carpet was wool Berber. Usually, Berber is made from olefin. Hey, I learned something new today! I explained the extensive cleaning process that I could provide to get her carpet as clean as possible. I explained each step in detail and pointed out some facts about her wool carpet. Then I learned something shocking! The carpet was wool and it was spot cleaned with an oxygen cleaner. You know one of those “As Seen On TV” miracle cleaners. Yes, they are great but why is this shocking you wonder? Usually cleaning agents that say oxygen on them are actually a form of bleach. That’s right, bleach!!!

Okay, when spot cleaning wool carpet is it not a good idea to use oxygen based cleaners, because this has a major chance of pulling the color out of the carpet.

Make sure to use specialized cleaners designed to work with wool when spot cleaning them. If you cannot remove a spot from your wool carpet then, please give me a call at 503-922-4875 or 360-901-8686 or visit my website at: www.seanscarpetcare.com

What Causes So Many Spots to Return After Carpet Cleaning?

Sean — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 15:25:30 +0000

You thought that with having your carpets cleaned you would get rid of those annoying spots. The carpets looked great right after the carpet cleaner finished, but to your surprise many of the spots came back a few days later. You searched hard to find a great carpet cleaner in Portland and wind up receiving the same disappointing service as the time before. According to one of my friends at Las Cruces Carpet Cleaning, he says you are not alone. His clients who call him at his carpet cleaning Las Cruces, New Mexico office complain of the same problems everyday.

We have had discussions about the reasons why spots return. Emilio at Fibercare says one of the reasons why spots return after cleaning is because most cleaners only provide a surface cleaning. Residue down low in the carpet pile is not removed with a service cleaning. The minimal water from a surface cleaning does not flush out the residue and only provides an excellent highway for that residue to wick to the top of the carpet. As Emilio at Las Cruces carpet cleaning states, “Everything dries upwards.” Surface cleaning occurs when the carpet is cleaned rapidly.

One way to help reduce the re-occurance of spots after carpet cleaning is to hire a carpet cleaner that uses Rotary Jet Extraction carpet cleaning. This process uses hot water extraction with a rotary extraction tool that completely flushes out the carpet.

If you are looking for a carpet cleaner that combines hot water extraction with rotary jet extraction then give me a call at 503-922-4875 / 360-901-8686 or visit my website at: www.seanscarpetcare.com

If you are in El Paso or New Mexico and need a great carpet cleaner then contact Emilio Martinez at FiberCare.

Soap Free Carpet Cleaning Portland, OR?

Sean — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:09:30 +0000

How many times have you seen carpet cleaners in Portland, OR or others areas of the country promote themselves as “Soap Free” carpet cleaners?

The truth is that all carpet cleaners can promote themselves as soap free. Yes, it’s true!

Any carpet cleaner that is using regualr carpet cleaning detergent is soap free. The cleaning solution used is actually detergent. What is the difference you ask? Detergent is a synthetic cleansing substance that acts similarly to soap but is made from chemical compounds rather than fats and lye.

So the next time you meet a Portland carpet cleaner that is promoting “Soap Free” carpet cleaning you will be ready to pin them on the spot.
