How to Unclog a Drain

Cleaners — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:22:11 +0000

First and foremost…DO NOT pour oils, grease or fats down the drain! This is a surefire way to block a drain quickly and securely. Oils cling to the sides of the pipes and collect debris which can build up very fast to become a steadfast clog. They should be poured into a container and placed in the trash.

A strainer will help prevent clogged drains by keeping hair, food and other items from building up in the drain. First try a plunger; this often works better and faster than most chemicals. If that doesn’t work, try a combination of these following steps:

1/2 cup of baking soda, followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar.
Then cover the drain if you can, and allow the foaming pressure to evacuate the clog.
Other recipes call for 1/2 cup of salt and an equal amount of baking soda, followed by 6 cups of boiling water.
Wait for at least an hour, then right after flush with cold water.
As a last resort, get a plumber’s snake and follow the directions.

These steps will surely help with any clogging problems. You can always call us and ask for our technicians for any phone assistance or visit our website to see our services at www.carpetcleaningcalabasas.com

How to Reduce Allergies in Your Home

Cleaners — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:44:49 +0000

It is not yet fully understood why certain people get allergies while others do not. However, we do know that allergies can develop at any age and hereditary plays a key role in who will develop allergies. If one parent has allergies, the child will develop allergies 48 percent of the time, and if both parents have allergies, the child’s risk grows to 70 percent.

Indoor allergens (any substance that can trigger an allergic response) that can be found in the home include dust mites, pet dander, mold, and cockroach allergens. An allergist may recommend environmental control measures for the home depending upon the offending allergen. Complete avoidance may be difficult, but the simple steps can be taken to reduce exposure:

Lack of circulation – Use heat ad air condition to clean, circulate and dehumidify the air in the home.
Moisture – Maintain the home’s relative humidity level below 55 percent by using heat and/or air conditioning equipment consistently and using a dehumidifier where necessary.
Cleaning – Cleaning is the best way to reduce allergens.

Cleaners — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 23:36:26 +0000

For many years now, we have been asked many different types of questions about carpet cleaning and other carpet cleaning services. One question though stands out the most: “Can you remove __________?”

American Carpet Cleaning can remove any spot that is not a permanent stain. But there are conditions that permanent stains present. Through our professional carpet cleaning work and professional cleaning studies, we list the following conditions and there difficulty with a % of chance of removal.

Yellowing (50%) – Yellowing can be as simple as neutralizing the spot or area by spraying solution on it, or it can be impossible to remove. There are many unknown causes for yellowing. It is so common that we have 5 different products on our truck just for yellowing.
Blood (75%) – If blood has not been cleaned, if hot water or alkaline cleaning products have not been used, chances are good, but no guarantee.
Rust (85%) – Chances for rust removal are excellent, but no guarantee.
Furniture Stain (10%) – Almost impossible. (Bonded insert)
Coke (95%) – Usually not a problem.
Coffee (70%) – We usually have a fair amount of success although coffee, many times, is spilled when it’s very hot which can make it more difficult.
Mustard (15%) – Can be very difficult at times. Not always impossible, but many times it is.
Paint (latex) (75%) – Usually good results. Colored latex can permanently stain the carpet. Hardened latex can be impossible.

Cleaners — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 22:02:10 +0000

How long does the carpet cleaning process take?

About 1 hour per 600-900 cleanable square feet. This varies depending on soil and job.

How soon can I walk on it?

Keep pets, children and regular traffic off carpet for a period of 4-6 hours. The homeowner may use the carpet lightly immediately after cleaning by wearing white socks. Some carpets may still feel slightly damp for up to 18 hours depending on carpet and soiling condition. This is normal and will not cause any problems. For more after cleaning care solutions click here.

Do you move the furniture?

Our regular pricing includes moving sofas, chairs, tables, end tables, etc. Beds, dressers and heavier pieces are left in place under our normal pricing structure.

Can you clean carpet or rugs over hardwood floors?

Yes, we have our systems set up where the backing of the carpet or rug is not saturated; therefore, no problem with wood floors underneath. No problem with edges either. Our rinse does not affect hardwood floors, however if you prefer, we can use plastic or carpet padding under edge of rug while cleaning to prevent any solution from coming in contact with floor around edge of rug.

Improving Your Indoor Enviornment

Cleaners — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:24:59 +0000

Carpet plays a vital, positive role in indoor air quality. It acts as an environmental filter, trapping and holding impurities from the air we breathe. The EPA and carpet industry findings indicate that with proper ventilation of new carpet, carpet itself does NOT contribute negatively to indoor air quality, but the buildup of soil in carpet does. Carpet and upholstery must be cleaned to remove trapped contaminants before they overflow and are released back in the indoor air.

For a healthier indoor environment, the IICRC recommends:

VACUUM FREQUENTLY – A vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency filtration bag removes soils and bio-contaminants from carpet and upholstery and reduces the release of breathable particles into the air. These bags are now available for the most models of vacuum cleaners at retail stores.

PERIODICALLY HAVE PROFESSIONAL CLEANING – Thorough cleaning removes soil and pollutants to improve indoor air quality. Use an I.I.C.R.C certified professional trained in the proper use of cleaning agents and equipment.

CONTROL THE RESOURCES – Entrance mats halt tracked-in soil and contaminants. Tobacco smoke, which is trapped in carpet and upholstery fabric, is a major source of indoor pollution.

INCREASE FRESH AIR FLOW – Our ancestors knew what they were doing when they opened windows to air out buildings.

CLEAN FOR HEALTH – Carpet and upholstery fabric hides soil. Don’t just clean for appearance when the accumulation of soil becomes visible.

Carpet Maintenance – Carpet Cleaning

Cleaners — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 00:16:19 +0000

When it comes to maintaining your carpet, one of the most critical areas of focus is the traffic area. If ground in soil is not removed on a regular basis, the traffic areas will begin to wear excessively. The dirt is extremely abrasive against the fibers of the carpet as you walk back and forth on it.

The second area of focus, of course, is sport removal. You must react to “danger” spots immediately. Red wine, red beverages, urine, blood, etc. can cause a permanent stain if not treated immediately. Below is a list of what you must do to properly maintain your carpeting.

1. Vacuuming

2. Professional Cleaning

3. Stain Resist Warranties

4. Spot Removal

5. Protective Coatings

These are just a few steps! If you need further assistance in how to maintain your carpet, please feel free to contact us. No strings attached. No pressure to use our carpet cleaning services. American Carpet Cleaning is more than happy to help you to live a healthier and eco-friendly lifestyle. We also do professional service for tile and grout, upholstery cleaning, rug cleaning, drapery cleaning, hardwood refinishing, water damage and much more.

What to do when your carpet is cleaned?

Cleaners — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:20:28 +0000

After Your Carpet Is Cleaned…

1. Be careful walking from carpet to hard surfaces. Floors can be very slippery.

2. Keep pets and children off carpet for at least 6 hours.

3. Remove blocks and tabs from underneath furniture 24 hours after carpet is cleaned.

4. Vacuum carpet anytime after 24-hour period.

WARNING!

YOUR CARPET NEEDS PROTECTION!

Regular foot traffic removes much of the protection from your carpet! Leaving it unprotected could allow permanent stains, premature wear and a lower appearance level.

Having a PROCHEM FourGuard applied today will:

1. Prevent many permanent stains.

2. Assist in resisting traffic area damage.

3. Make future cleaning more effective.

Unlike some other cleaners, American Carpet Cleaning uses only the highest quality carpet protector, uses a dedicated applicator, mixes and applies at the proper rate, and grooms it into the carpet for better penetration.

You will save money on spot cleanings, your carpet will look better every day, and will last longer.

Locating Urine Odor

Cleaners — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 22:04:51 +0000

Recently we read an article, “Locating Sources of Urine Odor” written by Scott Warrington, who explains how and with what we can track down the smelly odors we sense. Your nose, moisture detectors, ultraviolet lights and eyes are your friends when it comes to detecting what the smell is. For the most part, what stains your carpet, leaves an odor and contaminates your carpet is: urine.

What is important to do is to educate you on the issue at hand. Some customers think the solution to removing urine stains in your carpet should be a simple spraying of some magic solution that can get rid of the bad odor. Our job is to successfully locate the entire odor. One useful tool the article talks about and that we use is ultraviolet (UV) light. The article explains:

“Urine residues will fluorescence, or glow, under UV light. Ultraviolet lights in several intensities are available to help you locate urine deposits. Urine is not the only thing that will glow under a UV light. You will recognize urine by the shape of the spot and by its characteristic yellow (from dogs) or greenish (from cats) glow. ”

American Carpet Cleaning wants our customers to live a healthier life. Removing a urine stain is one step towards leading you a healthy life style. We offer a FREE UV light inspection. We detect the source and remove not just the stain but the urine odor as well!! www.carpetcleaningcalabasas.com
