Carpet Care Tips

While regular carpet cleaning by professionals is necessary to ensure your carpet leads a long and healthy life, additional care and maintenance on your part can go a long way. Proper care and maintenance of your carpet will extend its useful life and preserve its appearance longer. Failure to maintain proper care will result in premature wear. Additionally, clean carpets contribute to a healthy indoor environment.

Vacuum your carpets three times a week using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate) filter.
Remove stains and spills as promptly as possible. this is best achieved with Chem-Dry Professional Strength Spot Remover. Remove as much excess as possible, then apply and blot with a clean white cloth. DO NOT rub the spot as this might grind the stain in further.
Have your carpets cleaned and protected at least twice a year by Chem-Dry, or more often if you have children or pets.

Traffic Lane Gray

Like all textiles, carpets will eventually show signs of wear. The wear creates an illusion of soiling, which often causes frustration and misunderstanding between the homeowners and carpet care experts. Even though a carpet has been cleaned, it does not mean the traffic areas will look clean. Traffic areas are those places where people are constantly walking or working. This situation creates what is called “Traffic Lane Gray”.

While “Traffic Lane Gray” is an inevitable part of any carpet’s life, the process causing it can be slowed down. One way to prevent this is to rearrange the furniture in your home. By doing so, you will block old traffic areas and create new ones. By occasionally switching the flow of traffic you will distribute the effects of “Traffic Lane Gray”. You can also add area rugs to places where “Traffic Lane Gray” is unavoidable through rearranging furniture.

Trust Chem-Dry for Carpets that are Deep Cleaned

A common misconception of home owners is that carpets simply need routine vacuuming to be cleaned. While vacuuming may make your carpets appear spotless from your family’s contribution of daily activity or mishap, you must also consider the dust and particles that lie beneath the surface. A carpet should receive an annual (some experts recommend as often as every six months – others suggest every 12-18 months) and thorough deep cleaning by a carpet cleaning professional.

Choosing an environmentally friendly process of clean-up should be a top priority. After all, your aim is to remove chemical residue, not introduce more. Many commercial carpet cleaners require gallons of water, in addition to toxic soaps which leave behind volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Your Chem-Dry professional uses the core cleaning solution, The Natural®, which puts the power of Mother Nature to work in cleaning your carpets. The Natural® is non-toxic and safe for kids and pets.

The kind of fiber used to make a carpet will determine its durability, appearance, stain resistance, and its price. Most carpet is made with synthetic materials that are simple to uphold, affordable, and can be used in a variety of styles. Commonly, materials used for making carpet are nylon, polyester, acrylic, and wool. As most synthetic fibers are resistant to water, keeping carpet clean is possible. Tightly woven or tufted fibers work together at keeping stains on the surface where you can quickly attend to them. Periodic deep cleansing removes dust and dander that settle over time. Chem-Dry’s powerful Hot Carbonating Extraction process works deep for a phenomenal clean.

Vacuum Regularly

The amount of traffic your carpet receives will determine how often vacuuming is necessary. Vacuuming a few times per week reduces the dirt that is likely to end up in the roots of your carpet. Spot cleaning is also an essential part of keeping your floors clean. After vacuuming, apply a quick spray of Carpet Deodorizer (various scents available) for a pleasing fragrance, along with built-in stain resistance protection for your carpets.

Who hasn’t spilled a glass of wine, milk, or soda? Chem-Dry offers various home products to lift spots. For difficult spots, a professional cleaning application may be required. Consult with your local professional to ensure proper treatment.

Cleaning your Carpet of Christmas Tree and Sap Stains!

Chemdry — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 18:13:11 +0000

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! I hope this season is filled with joy and gladness. I will be enjoying mine in beautiful Fort Walton Beach and most likely will take a visit on one of our warm days to the beach in Destin or Okaloosa Island. Yes!

Now, unfortunately one of the “enemies” of the Holiday season is Christmas tree needles and sap. A tree skirt can most certainly help but we all know that it does not always get the job done and we are left scrubbing, scraping, and frustrated at getting one of the most difficult stains off our carpet.

One of the best ways to keep sap needles and sap off of your carpet is by watering your tree sufficiently. When you fail to keep the tree watered adequately, needles will naturally fall off and sap will run into an empty basin rather than a water-filled basin that can dilute it’s consistency. But, if you have done this before, you may know that even when keeping up with the watering, the sap can spill over onto the tree skirt and seep through into the carpet. This is no good, but there is hope!

Taking a look around the Internet I found some recommendations to getting these sap stains out with household cleaning products which is a very risky option. If you value your carpet I would stick with a professional cleaning service in the area. Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Navarre, and the surrounding Okaloosa and Santa Rosa counties have very solid carpet cleaning companies.

If you want the best service, find a local franchise with great customer service and the latest dry-cleaning technologies. Stay away from steam cleaning services, an advanced dry cleaning service will lift the stain and maintain the life of your carpet.

Hope these tips help and hope your holiday season is blessed!

How to control pet odors and keep them out of your carpet

Chemdry — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 22:59:02 +0000

For those of us who have pets we all understand the continual struggle to maintain our carpet and upholstery odors. Whether it’s urine, wet hair, or other waste, our pets are destined to “make their mark” from being a cute little puppy to a grown adult. Not only can our own pets leave a lasting stench, but even the neighbor’s or friend’s that we decide to take care of for the weekend. On top of the usual problems with pets, living in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Navarre, and the surrounding Okaloosa County area will guarantee extra sand and water in the house.

How can I prevent or rid my house of pet odor?

The best possible way to maintain the odor of your house with a pet coming in and out is discipline. That’s right, a well-trained dog is THE BEST fix to problems with maintaining your house’s odor as a result of his actions. Animals that learn to relieve themselves outside the house, on newspaper, in their litterbox, etc. will leave a much less amount of odor in the house.

Outside of disciplining your pet is going the professional route. A carpet cleaning company with effective, safe, and reasonably priced services will be capable of not only ridding existing odors but helping to prevent future odors from permeating your carpet. If you are looking for this type of service, go on Google, Bing, Yahoo! or your search engine of choice and type in “carpet cleaning fort walton beach” and choose from the first page, those will be your most reliable companies.

Hope this helps everyone, let me know what you think!

Traffic Lane Gray

There is not a lot that a carpet care expert can do with traffic lane gray. When a 10-year old carpet is cleaned, you will end up with a clean 10-year old carpet. It may not appear the way you had hoped. The easiest way to slow down this process is by rearranging the furniture so traffic areas are changed or just add area rugs.
