The key to cleaning in the deep south , and particularly Brunswick and Saint Simons area is to keep hydrated, and to eat lightly during working hours.  While cleaning carpets or upholstery, extra dry strokes can greatly reduce drying times, even in the most humid environments.

Just as painting the outside is important in protecting  your home from the elements , taking care of the inside ,in particularly the carpets , isn’t just about appearance sake .  Cleaning your carpet on a regular basis can also  remove  dirt and sand  that can prematurely wear your carpets.   It can also improve your indoor air quality .

Proper carpet cleaning always starts with thorough vacuuming .  Vacuuming removes the loose soil , dander and dust  that gets tracked in and can by carried throughout your home via your central  air systems .  This is a step of preventative care that will prevent buildup of dirt and grit  and keep your carpets in good  , maintained condition .

Carpet cleaning  should be scheduled  every 6 to 12 months , depending on  the amount of traffic.  Oily spots can be removed with proper spotters , and soiling can be removed with proper detergents.  Color loss associated with bleaches or harsh cleaning agents can most of the times be corrected and matched up to the correct shade and color.

One important thing to remember is , don’t wait until the carpets looks soiled ,it can be holding up to 3 pounds of dirt per square yard , which can put extreme wear on your carpet .  So schedule timely cleanings, and vacuum regularly .

All carpet should be installed with a power stretcher . A knee kicker is mainly used for small areas that a power stretcher cant get into , like a closet or a small hallway. If your carpet was installed with just a knee kicker , it could also void your carpets warranty . So if your installer gets out the truck with  just a knee kicker , send him packing if he doesn’t have the required tools.

Step two is very important. Most folks will grab any kind of cleaner from under the sink. STOP! You want to use the safest , mildest detergent available, and whats more gentle than what you put your hands into every time you wash your dishes ? That’s right , dish washing detergent.  Put a few drops on a clean , damp rag and then work it into the remaining spot.Never put any detergent directly on the spot , because you will put too much down and it is very difficult to remove all the cleaner.  Don’t scrub , gently work in until the spot disappears.  Go on to step 3 .

Now its time to remove the excess detergent we used to clean the spot. Failure to remove the excess detergent will result in left over residue that will attract more soil and cause the spot to reappear . Use a damp rag and try to blot up as much of the detergent as possible. Repeat until it feels like it is all gone.   Take a dry rag place it over the clean spot , blot again , and you are all done !
