A Guide to Maintain Your Carpet

• Simple Steps to Help Keep Your Carpet Clean
• Vacuum daily. 80 percent of household dirt can be
  removed by vacuuming.
• Keep dirt outside by buying an outside entrance
  rug or removing your shoes at the entrance of
  your home. You will be surprised what a big
  difference this will make.
• Avoid Spills. Keep drinks and meals on the
  kitchen table. Get spill-proof cups for your
  toddlers. It is always best to minimize the
  chance for accidents. CAUTION Food Dye can be
  permanent (Kool- Aid, fruit drinks, wine, etc.).
• Clean up spills immediately. Clean your carpet on
  a regular basis preferably by a professional
• carpet cleaning company.

• Common Mistakes that can Ruin Your Carpet
• Using Bleach, Windex, bathroom cleaners and other
  cleaning products to spot clean your carpet can
  discolor and/or leave permanent stains. Use only
  products specially made for carpet.
• One of the top reasons carpets are replaced is
  because of pets. Pets ripping and tearing up
  carpet. An even bigger problem is pet urine. Even
  a simple accident can cause a severe problem.
  Trying to treat these areas is very expensive and
  many times untreatable.
• Renting or having a small portable machine can
  help maintain your carpet. Some of the mistakes
• people are making is using more detergent than
  was asked for and not removing as much water as
  possible, ending in a long drying time. People
  also tend to use the wrong spotter in treating
  stains, which in some cases ends up making the
  stain worse.

• Carpet Stain Removal Tips
• Use spotting products that are made for carpets.
  Follow the instructions thoroughly.
• When spotting, use as little spotter as possible.
  Spot two or three times if needed. If using a
  store bought spotter always blot with a white,
  damp towel to remove as much of the spotter as
  possible.
• Surprisingly, using 1 part white vinegar to 3
  parts warm water will remove many household spots
  and will help with pet spots. For tougher spots,
  like grease, use 1 teaspoon liquid detergent
• without color brightness to 1 quart warm water.
  Again, use as little as possible and afterwards
  blot with a white, damp towel.
• Our Company sells a safe spotter, which works
  great on many tough spots.
• Food dye spots, such as Kool-Aid, fruit juice and
  orange pop, can sometimes leave permanent spots.
  A professional carpet cleaning company can, the
  majority of the time, remove these spots.

Misconceptions and Myths About Carpet Cleaning

• You should wait as long as possible before
  cleaning your carpet.
• No. Dirt is an abrasive like sand paper. When
  you walk on your carpet the dirt cuts the fibers
  causing it to wear out faster. While vacuuming
  helps, by itself, its simply not enough.
• The only reason to clean carpets is to get out
  the dirt.
• No. As you know outdoor air contains pollens,
  fungus, bacteria, air pollution and hundreds of
  other chemicals. Not surprisingly all these wind
  up in, you guessed it, your carpet.
• Professional carpet cleaning done by well trained
  technicians with the best equipment does help to
  eliminate these problems.
• One method of carpet cleaning is as good as the
  other.
• No. You can choose from two primary methods Dry
  Cleaning or Hot Water Extraction.
• Many people think that dry cleaning is like dry
  cleaning your clothing. This is not true. Dry
  cleaning is done by applying a shampoo (foam) on
  your carpet, letting it dry and vacuuming it out.
  Dry cleaning can also be done using a dry
  chemical similar to the foam. Then they set a
  large cotton bonnet on your carpet and use a
  machine that spins from side to side. When the
  bonnet is saturated with dirt another is applied.
  The third method of dry cleaning is to spread an
  absorbent mixture that looks like saw dust all
  over the carpet. Then machines brush the mixture
  into your carpet which in theory causes dirt to
  absorb into the mixture which is then vacuumed
  out of the carpet. Because none of these methods
  use a rinse there is a residue left in the carpet
  and while they do have a useful application in
  some situations we do not believe them to be as
  effective.
• Shaw Industries, the worlds largest carpet
  manufacturer, recommends hot water extraction.
  Hot Water Extraction forces a hot water cleaning
  solution into the carpet under high pressure
  which is then extracted again with high pressure
  suction. No question, the most effective way to
  clean carpet is with hot water unit mounted in a
  truck. It is the only method that thoroughly
  cleans your carpet of dirt, harmful bacteria,
  fungus, chemicals and pollens.
• Having the right equipment is all a company needs
  to clean your carpets properly.
• Not True. Many companies own good hot-water
  cleaners but a large number of employees dont
  know how to use them correctly. The best carpet
  cleaning companies are those that have been
  certified by the Institute of Inspection,
  Cleaning, and Restoration Certification, IICRC.
  The carpet cleaner must earn this certification
  through study, experience and successful
  completion of formal written examinations.
• The company that offers the lowest price is the
  company you should hire.
• Maybe, but not always! Below are two important
  points to keep in mind.
• The price you see offered may not be for the
  services you want performed. Do you just want
  some of the dirt removed or do you want
  professionally cleaned

carpets with the bacteria, fungus, and chemicals
removed which will require both hot water truck
mount equipment and well trained
technicians. o Many homeowners have learned that
the low price they saw advertised was not what
they were charged. Or you may have been pressured
into add-ons you did not want. Either way it
turns out not to be such a good deal after
all. 6. Any honest carpet cleaning company
should be able to give you an exact price
over the phone. There are many variables to take
into consideration like what type of carpet you
have and how dirty the carpet is for example.
However you should be able to get a close
estimate if you give them a good description of
what needs to be done. To conserve fuel and
manpower cost this is preferable to most
companies. Companies that insist on coming out
for an estimate feel they can pay for it in add
on sales so in the end you pay more. Either way,
be certain the technicians review the Work Order
and cost to you when they arrive to eliminate any
confusion later.
