Carpet Cleaning Demonstration

Carpet Cleaning Minneapolis Networking GroupWe recently had the opportunity to give a carpet cleaning demonstration for a local Minneapolis business group.  Live demonstrations are a special thing and we hope it shows you never should have to endure unsightly carpet stains in your home or office.

On average, we see and clean around 8-10 different carpet types each month.  For this demonstration, we included two common carpet types, an olefin berber and a polyester cut pile.  The carpets were soiled liberally with mud stains, soda pop, and ashes from the BBQ and the stains were given a chance to set.

Pre-treatment for carpet cleaning involves application of Bio-Kleen, an all natural traffic lane cleaner.  Once pre-treated, a professional grade shampooer lifts the dirt out of the deep spots in the carpet.  Next, the carpet is thoroughly rinsed clean using truck mounted steam extraction, leaving it free of any residue. The high powered vacuum keeps contact of water with the carpet to a minimum.

Some stains we encounter are tougher to remove from the carpet.  In these cases, extra passes with the equipment and specialized cleaning solutions are used and most stains we are able to remove.  Depending upon humidity and airflow, carpet typically takes between 4 and 10 hours to dry completely.  See the photos below for the final result of the demonstration.

Pet Stains and Odor Removal

Having pets is fun and enjoyable, but they can have accidents and leave odors and unsightly stains and spots. Green Clean offers in-home pet care services for these incidents.  We respond quickly to remove spots and odors providing a fresh clean home for you and your pets.  Many pet odors can be treated and eliminated, including areas with damaged carpet, baseboards or walls, or if the odors have permeated the flooring beneath the carpeting.  With Green Clean’s Dual Process Cleaning Method, many pet odors and stains can be treated and reduced or even eliminated.  Green Clean also offers water claw treatments – a fast, cost-effective treatment that eliminates the need to pull back or remove carpeting or pads.  This process involves complete pad saturation with a germicidal solution.  Our Clean-Trust certified technicians are always readily available to assist you in your pet odor and stain needs.

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.
