Can you protect my wood floor when carpet cleaning

Protecting the floor when carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and tile and grout cleaning is just this easy. Putting down a floor runner, tarps, blankets and towels really helps on a rainy or snowy day. This way you are not dragging in all the weather from outside into your home. Even on a nice day it is just the right thing to do. Sometimes it is just the little things we do that make all the difference. Hardwood floors are sensitive to moisture damage, staining and dents.

It is also a good idea to seal off the front door when carpet cleaning on a cold, rainy or snowy day. This way it stays warm and dry inside your home and our air movers will work better to dry the carpet that we just finished cleaning.

How to get magnet slime out of the carpet

When you are trying to get magnet slime out of the carpet, first you should use a volatile solvent and then heat up the product with a carpet steamer. Then when the slime is not hard anymore and it is soft use a non volatile solvent to rinse it all away. Solvent gels work very well. Sometimes there is a dye stain left behind and when that happens you have to use some Red Relief and a steamer to get the color out of the carpet. Then we rinse it all out with our powerful truckmount carpet cleaning equipment. This process takes some time but works well if done right.

Our kids spilled a big batch of ‘Slime’ on the carpet, and it hardened and we couldn’t get it out. We called, and they were there within the hour. They got the slime out, and went above and beyond in cleaning additional areas. A+++++++ We will definitely be using them in the future.

We are using a floor runner to protect the wood floors. This floor runner is absorbent on top and waterproof on bottom. We are also using corner guards to protect the walls in this home. On the picture below we are using floor runners to protect the wood stairs and huggers to protect the wood railing.

Using a seal-a-door in the winter time helps keep the cold weather outside and makes it so our airmovers work better to dry the carpet, when we are done cleaning. So you do not have to heat outside of your home. In the summer time it keeps the pets in and the bugs out and makes it so you do not have to let the cool air outside .

Should I clean or stretch the carpet first

I think you should have the carpet stretched first. It is important to get the carpet stretched so the backing does not seperate where the wrinkles are in the carpet. When you do have your carpet stretched make sure they are using a power stretcher. Pulling the carpet from one wall to the other with poles. After the carpet is stretched , if it is done right the carpet will not wrinkle after getting your carpet cleaned. Where the wrinkles were the carpet will have dirty and worn areas where the bumps were from people dragging their feet over the bumps. Then the carpet cleaner will try to make it look even again, this is why you should get the carpets stretched first. A lot of times there is a bunch of loose carpet fibers all over the carpet after the carpet layers are done and the carpet cleaner can make sure to pick up all of the loose fibers with their vacuum cleaner. The carpet cleaning should always be the last thing done to make sure the carpets look, smell and feel great, ready to get back to living in your home. When you are ready to have your carpets cleaned give us a call 801-756-2275 the Jeff and Judy team, a husband and wife team that care about your home and carpet.

How often should I get my carpets cleaned

Here is a link on Stainmaster carpet saying how often you should get your carpets cleaned and how to take care of your carpets.

Stainmaster carpet

If you go to Stainmaster website it says you should get your carpets cleaned every 18 months or it will void the warranty of the carpet. So in that case, I think you should get your carpet cleaning done every year. It is just fabric like your clothes they just need to be washed once in a while if they look dirty or not. They still need to be cleaned, because some of the odors and small dirt you might not see, but getting them cleaned every year will keep your carpets healthy and make them last much longer. The best thing you can do is vacuum your carpet regularly to get all the dry soil in the carpet that might scratch and damage the fibers of your carpet. The carpet in your home is the biggest filter in your home and it helps with the air quality by not allowing the pollen, mold spores, dust and dirt floating in the air of our home. Regular vacuum cleaning and carpet cleaning will keep your carpets healthy and safe for you and your family
