Many of us spend a solid amount of our paycheck on nice leather furniture only to find that in a couple of years the once beautiful and soft leather has become cracked, rough, and faded.  Here in Fort Walton Beach, FL, the effects of humidity, the intense Emerald Coast sun, and sand being tracked into the house can speed this process up.  Naturally, we all want to know if our expensive investment can be restored…

Because leather is an organic material like wood, it naturally breaks down BUT it can also be restored!!!  Each piece of furniture is unique as the properties of each type of leather will determine the effectiveness of restoration.  Now, you can try household leather restoration products if you so dare, but we would recommend leaving it to the professionals at Chem-Dry by the Emerald Coast if you want the BEST results.

Give them a call today and get your furniture or carpet back on the road to recovery!

Snow is falling, family and friends are gathering, fireplaces are aflame, wallets are emptying, and carpets are receiving much love from soles.  Holiday season is in full swing and I hope all carpets and their owners are having a merry time.  Do not forget to take off your shoes, put on some comfy socks or slippers and give your carpet the gift of a pleasant treading.

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to all, may your life be filled with love, joy, and peace!

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!

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!

Do you have leather furniture?  Is it stained, dirty, cracking, or fading?  If so, take a look at some of the reasons why your valuable furniture has depleted over time:

Oils — Oils from both humans and animals work their way into leather with ease. Hair and hand oils are easily, and unattractively embedded in the head cushions and arm rests of the furniture and cause serious damage to the protective finishes found on leather.

Common Soils — Children, household pets, or your Saturday project will consistently track in dirt from the outside along with sand and fibers from plants. This debris quickly depletes your leather quality and is one of the most effective means by which nature deteriorates its comfort and value.

Dye and Ink — Newspapers, denim, leaky pens, and many other sources can easliy transfer dyes and inks permanently onto your beautiful leather furniture. Leave it to Chem-Dry to to get rid of those stubborn stains!

Chem-Dry by the Emerald Coast provides the most effective leather cleaning and restoration in Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Navarre, Crestview, and the surrounding Emerald Coast area.  If you want to save money in the long run by saving your furniture investment through restoration or preventative maintenance, give Chem-Dry a call or visit them online!

We all want to sleep well and a majority of Americans have the luxury of laying down on a comfortable, soft, dust-mite filled, allergenic mattress.  Not the typical idea of your mattress?  Though we may want to think different, the realty is that without regular upkeep our bed is filled with unhealthy bacteria, dust, and micro-organisms that will hurt us more than help us.  Here are a few tips on how to keep your mattress clean and your sleep full of bleating sheep!

1)  Turn your mattress – Once or twice a year flip your mattress over in order to even out wear and tear.

2)  Cover up your mattress – If you don’t have one already, buy a mattress cover that is washable.  With a cover you will be able to greatly reduce the amount of allergens and dirt, especially if it is washed regularly.

3)  Remove dust from the mattress surface – Though your mattress might be covered, dust and allergens will continue to collect on its surface.  When the cover is being washed, give the mattress a nice vacuum or dusting with the upholstery attachment.

4)  Professional mattress cleaning – If you’d like to go a step further and make certain your mattress is thoroughly cleaned, contact a local upholstery cleaning service like Chem-Dry.  A professional service like Chem-Dry by the Emerald Coast can produce results that will leave your mattress looking and feeling as good as new.  For those who have invested much of their paycheck into a mattress, this option is very attractive as it will prolong the life and freshness of your mattress!
