Carpet Cleaning Tips - Stain Removal

Reduce Your Carpet Cleaning Workload and Remove Carpet Stains Immediately

It is extremely important if you want to prolong the life of your carpet and reduce your carpet cleaning workload, that you clean any spills on your carpet or rug immediately. This article discusses the best ways to remove carpet stains.

First of all it is important to have the right stain remover in your carpet cleaning supply cabinet. Years ago, there were different products for different types of stains, such as grease removers. Most new stain removers are now able to clean most stains. Just check to make sure that it is compatible with your carpet. For example, often wool carpets may require a different type of cleaner. Always spot test your product in an inconspicuous spot.

When a spill happens, remove as much excess as possible, always working inwards. If you blot the stain outwards, you could possibly spread the stain further. From there, follow the directions on the stain remover product. Some products require a drying time, and then a vacuum, others need the area to be rinsed thoroughly with water to remove all residue. Any remaining residue from the product you are using could actually contribute to further soiling, as this residue can act as a magnet for dirt.

Remember, the quicker you attend to the stain, the easier it should be to remove it. Otherwise, the stain becomes ingrained, and only a professional carpet cleaner would be able to remove the stain.

It's important to clean your carpet properly by fully removing all chemicals that was applied. If you do hire a professional carpet cleaner, it may be worth considering a stain prevention chemical being added as well. This will help make any future stain emergencies a lot easier to clean. The extra cost will definitely be worth the investment.

Hardwood Floor Cleaning

Cleaning Procedure

First I sweep your hardwood floor.

Apply Basic Coating I.F.T cleaner to your hardwood and let it sit for 5 to 10 min.

Scrub your hardwood floor with a low speed buffing machine.

Extract dirt and oils up with a high powered vacuum.

Mop your hardwood floor with a microfiber cloth and Basic Coatings Squeaky Clean.

Rinse your hardwood floor with clean water to remove all residue.

Then finally buff shine your hardwood floor with a white pad and a 175 spin machine.

At your request I can apply Basic Coating Refinisher to revitalize your hardwood flooring.  This gives your hardwood an extra coat of gloss, that makes your floor pop, and also gives it an extra coat of protection.

But first, before we apply Refinisher, we must test your hardwood floor for ACRYLIC POLISH. If your hardwood floor has acrylic polish on it from previous cleaners, the acrylic polish must be dissolved off before we apply Basic Coating's Hardwood Floor Refinisher.

Take Note: in rare instances the acrylic polish dissolver may have adverse appearance issues. In these cases your hardwood floor will need to be completely sanded and recoated.

Carpet Cleaning Tips

Carpet Cleaning Tips

 

Carpet care should involve more than just regular vacuuming and spot cleaning. Carpet absorbs more than just soil. It also absorbs oil and debris. The oils come from cooking vapors, from feet, and from pets to name a few. It is important if you want to keep your carpet fresh and clean that you follow these simple carpet cleaning tips.

Rugs placed strategically around your home will also help reduce your carpet cleaning time. Place mats outside and inside of all your entrances to catch the dirt off shoes and feet as much as possible. Also rugs in high traffic areas will help reduce the spread of dirt around the house and onto your carpet.

Regular vacuuming is also vital. Excessive sand and dirt can actually damage the fibers of your carpet. Once these fibers are damaged the carpet will actually stain more easily and be harder to clean. Regular vacuuming with a quality vacuum will help your carpet last longer and also keep dust levels to a minimum.

Attend to spills and stains as quickly as possible. Always make sure you clean the stain from the outside inward, as to not spread the stain further. Make sure your carpet is completely dried after cleaning it and that all residue is removed. Any residue left behind will only attract more dirt.

A deep clean of your carpets should be done at least once a year. If you have a lot of people living in your home, then twice a year is best. A proper clean ensures that oily film does not build up and start discoloring your carpet. It is ideal to hire a professional carpet cleaner, they will know which type of cleaning method is best for your carpet, and they also have the right machinery to get the job done right.
