Tips for Pet Odors

The summer is upon us finally.  With the added heat and humidity we have been receiving many calls on pet odors in carpets and flooring.  Educating our customers is very important to us.  Here are some of the ideas and procedures that we recommend.

The first steps should always be the preventive steps.  Here are a few preventive steps to follow.

1)     Make the area as unavailable or unattractive as possible.

2)     Make the area where they should go more attractive.

3)     Research potty training techniques or even retrain your pet.

4)     Support your pet in a positive manner as you train.

Steps to follow if you have staining or odors.

 1)   Always remember to saturate the area through the carpet fibers, through the carpet padding and into the sub flooring.

2)   Always use an enzyme based product for best results.

3)   Mix proper ratios of product and water, treating the area at least 2-3 times.

4) Do not use vinegar and baking soda.  These will change the    PH balance of the stain.

5) When all else fails, call a professional like Green Clean.

 

ConGRADulations!

Spring is not only a traditional time of year to clean your house, but also a time to celebrate young graduates from high school and college. As you prepare your home for the many guests you anticipate attending your child’s graduation party, remember one of your home’s largest thriving environments for dust, bacteria, and other allergens-your carpet.

In Minnesota, we have the wonderful opportunity of enjoying all four seasons. With that, we get to spend many hours indoors throughout the harsh cold temperature and snowy blizzards. Come springtime, Minnesotans enjoy opening the windows and cleaning the house top to bottom. After all, we have just spent the last 4 months in a home that has accumulated allergens and bacteria, thus reducing indoor air quality.

Regular vacuuming is highly recommended to maintain your carpet’s appearance. Because you have made a large investment in your home with your carpet, it is important to have your carpets professionally cleaned by IICRC Certified technicians every 12-18 months. Regular carpet maintenance increases its longevity, your indoor air quality, and the happiness of your mother-in-law when she comes to your son or daughter’s graduation party.

 

Why Professional Cleaning?

Oftentimes people are unaware of the benefits in having a professional carpet cleaner restore homeowners’ carpets. This brief message will inform you about the differences between professional carpet cleaning and do-it-yourself carpet cleaning.

A professional carpet cleaner has the knowledge and experience to ensure appropriate cleaning methods used with powerful equipment designed to perform quality carpet cleaning. A professional carpet cleaner understands the difference in carpet construction and fibers and the best cleaning agents to support and protect them. At Green Clean, we provide eco-friendly solutions with our Dual Process Cleaning Method, providing homeowners with quality services and carpets that stay cleaner, longer.

If you choose to clean your carpets yourself, take the time to research different equipment. Most rental carpet cleaning units will not provide you with the outcome you are hoping for. Oftentimes, carpets are not thoroughly cleaned and may even become damaged. It is important to understand the maintenance required to increase the longevity of your investment in your carpets, whether you have them professionally cleaned or you decide to try yourself.

 

Ice Dams-What to do if you see water stains on your ceiling

Water damage can be the devastating result from neglecting your home or business. During the winter months, ice dams have the tendency to accumulate on roof eaves and therefore must be knocked down in order to prevent dislodged roof shingles, sagging gutters, damaged insulation, and water stains on ceilings and walls inside your home, just to name a few effects. If left untreated, your home may become vulnerable to mold and mildew issues. If you are noticing ice dams, we have a trusted company we would be happy to refer to you to remove ice dams. In the unfortunate event of water damage in you or your friend or neighbor’s home, Green Clean is qualified with the proper knowledge and equipment to assess the damage and attend to all of your home’s needs.
