Hotel Carpet Cleaning Essentials


Hotels are your home away from home. Companies know this and do their best to meet customer needs. The best way they do this is through cleanliness. A top rated hotel company knows carpet cleaning is the best way to maintain the quality of the hotel.

Hotels receive a lot of foot traffic at all hours of the day. This means there is a large accumulation of dirt in the carpet. Entrance mats make a huge difference since they capture bulk amount of rain and dirt. They keep it from reaching the building extremities. Professional hotels should have interior and exterior entrance mats.

Most hotels use regular vacuuming on the carpets. This is often done late at night when there is less people or early in the morning. Vacuuming should be done slowly several times over each section of the carpet. This optimizes dirt uptake and prevents it from spreading to other areas of the hotel.

All carpets require professional carpet cleaning once a year. This means the carpet is washed using pressurized hot water extraction. This provides deep cleaning to the carpet and also renews carpet material. Dry cleaning methods can be used in between to absorb surface dirt.

5 of The Dirtiest Things In Your House


You need a clean dwelling to keep your home and its inhabitants happy and healthy. However, there are items that we often forget about. These forgotten areas are either hard to reach or take a long time to even appear dirty. Others can only be cleaned seasonally. Here are prime examples about the chores we frequently forget about.

Carpets
Dark carpets are especially hard to see dirt on until there is a large amount of it. Dirt settles at the base of the carpet where it is hidden from view and goes beyond our notice.

Windows
Windows often get overlooked because the dirt build sup gradually and we don't look outside the windows every day. In addition you can only properly clean the window during the summer.

Under The Bed
It's usually hard to clean underneath the beds. Often the bed frame doesn't allow for convenient cleaning  and we end up skipping this chore. As a result there is a lot of dust, hair and fiber build up.

Cobwebs
Cobwebs can occur anywhere in the house but the stairways and windows are the popular spot for them. Often the spider has left and there is just the dead bugs and spider web to clean up.

Air Vents
Dust builds up gradually from a variety of different sources. It will settle on all the furniture and appliances. The main source is from the air vents and you will require ducts cleaning to eliminate thsi issue.

1 Landscaping
The base essentials of the yard have to be done. This includes mowing the lawn and removing twigs and branches. Any clutter of tools should be removed.

2 Carpets
It may be high time for carpet cleaning. Clean carpets make a good impression on your home and won't ruin any pictures taken.

This a must since a large number of people will have to use the facilities during the course of the event. This area can become a health hazard if it isn't cleaned properly.

4 Front Entrance
Aside from being decorated, the front area of the home should be well kept. It probably just needs a quick sweep and unnecessary items should be moved or set aside elsewhere.

Pets Gone Wild - How to Clean After A Nightmare Tenant


Renting out space is a great idea. However, there can be a big problem for you to clean after a horrible tenant. Essential the tenant will have left a big mess or let their pets make a mess as well. There can be everything from poop, urine, pet dander, feathers, hair balls, fur and more.

If this has accumulated for several years it will be highly problematic. There are ways to clean it up effectively but you have to be methodical in your approach. Here are key items.

Carpet
If possible you should replace the carpet and the carpet under pad. This is the only way to effectively remove the pet urine and poop that has settled in. The floor underneath must be properly sanitized.

Walls
The walls need to be washed. Synthetic material can be easily washed. However, there are limits to sanitization with porous material. In a bad case you may need new dry wall.

Furniture
Again synthetic material is the only material that can be properly sanitized. Fabric material may be too soaked and stained with pet urine that it will have to be thrown out.

Pets, Your Carpet and the Mating Season


Mating seasons come and go for your pet. However, during this period of time they may cause damages to your carpet. They are just doing what they are biologically intended to do in the wild. This will mean you need to adequately clean up the pet urine.

The main issue with pet pee from dogs and cats is that it contains foul smelling hormones. This is thankfully only during mating season. One option is getting your pet spayed and neutered. Some of us don't have the luxury of this option so the next best idea is proper cleaning.

It's highly recommended that you use a professional carpet cleaning service. They will have the equipment and carpet solutions to remove the pet urine and help deodorize the carpet. However, keep in mind that there is a problem with removing female cat pee.

The smell cannot be removed completely and often requires harsh carpet chemicals. These chemicals may damage the carpet and not remove the smell completely even after that. Ammonia is often used but it is one of the worst chemicals to use for carpet. Ammonia is not eco-friendly nor does it smell friendly.

We clean carpet in Toronto, Markham, Vaughan, Thornhill, Mississauga, Etobicoke, East York, Woodbridge, Maple, Richmond Hill and the entire GTA.

Food Colouring - The Reason Permanent Stains Occur


Many people don't realize that it's not food itself that stains carpet, furniture and clothing. It is in fact that food colouring that these foods contain. You would be surprised just how many foods contain food colouring. These dyes have passed food and safety regulations so they are safe for consumption.

You may wonder why food colouring is even used. Psychologically we look for the brightest colours since they indicate ripeness. For example bright colourful berries are ripe for picking and taste great. This same concept is applied to commercial food and drinks. The brighter the colours that more delicious the food appears to be.

Now we know why foods such as tomato sauce, soy sauce and  sports drinks stain. It's the dyes. The only way to efficiently prevent carpet stains is by dealing with the spill when it's fresh. This prevents the carpet from dye from setting into the carpet fibers.

Common foods with dyes in them include: ketchup, soy sauce, decaffeinated coffee, tomato sauce, pop, sports drinks, meat slices and more. The better way to avoid food colouring it to buy organic foods. These generally don't have added preservatives or dyes. Otherwise always check the labels.

5 Ways Unprofessional Carpet Cleaning Can Cost You


For any service we want the best price possible. However, this can end up costing you in the long run. Here are common ways low priced carpet cleaning can cost you.

Re-cleaning
Improper carpet cleaning doesn't get the job done. It's common that you need to re-clean your carpets with a professional carpet cleaning service. So in the long run you will end up paying more to get the carpet cleaning done right.

Skipping Steps
Many unprofessional carpet cleaners skip essential steps. This includes small things such as vacuuming the carpet before hand to maximize dirt removal. The cleaner may also skip on the extraction process and leave the carpet susceptible to mold.

Resoiling
Improperly cleaned carpets will have carpet cleaning solutions left in the fiber. Without proper extraction the cleaning detergents remain and attract dirt. This causes rapid resoiling and your carpet will soon look horribly dirty.

Mould and Bacteria
Without proper carpet cleaning extraction too much moisture is left in the carpet. This impedes drying times and can potentially attract pets such as mold and bacteria.

Damage
Your carpet can be damaged by unprofessional carpet cleaners. Damages include bleaching, fading, bleeding and damage to the carpet fiber.
