Carpet, Rug and Tile Cleaning Tips by the Expert in Twin Falls

 The American floor covering industry argues that the difference between a “rug” (related to the words “rag” and rough”) and a “carpet” is strictly a matter of size. Any piece smaller than 40 square feet is considered a rug while anything larger is a carpet. Today, however, the term rug is most commonly used to distinguish an area rug from wall-to-wall carpeting or broadloom .

General cleaners not specifically formulated for natural stone or tile are never recommended. These can breakdown the sealer, thereby removing its protective properties and making the stone and tile grout susceptible to stains. Worse yet, many cleaning products, including those that contain lemon, vinegar, bleach or ammonia can etch away the polish, discolor the surface, or even scratch your stone.

• Blot up spills immediately.
• Dust mop floors using an untreated mop and proper wood floor cleaner.
• Use door mats and walk-off mats whenever possible to keep dirt and grit off the floor.

 Dust mites thrive on the skin flakes we shed every night. The recommended service interval is once every year unless you suffer from severe allergies then more often.

No, it doesn’t offer any cure, but it will help to reduce the severity and frequency of allergies. Many of our customers have found that their particular allergy disappears altogether and in the case of asthmatics, about 85% of sufferers are allergic to House Dust Mite droppings, so the chances of us helping an asthma sufferer is very high.

Most of us are not equipped with sanitary skills. If you choose to clean your carpet yourself make sure you choose good carpet cleaning supply. Because using products that are not of good or high quality can destroy your investment. Of course ruining it is the worst case scenario. Sometimes there is a  problem when the product you bought does not do a good job of cleaning your carpets. Or even worst leaves a residue behind which make your carpeting track up faster and look dingy.  It might not remove all the dirt or bacteria. Another thing is it may not be able to remove all the pet hairs that accumulated on the carpet.  So always try to hire a certified professional that is equipped with knowledge and technique to receive maximum results.

Flokati come from the greek word “floko” meaning strand. The rugs are made from New Zealand wool yarn that is spun on special spindles which produces the loose fluffy texture. They have the look of an animal skin without the skin.

Steam cleaning when done by a professional “clean trust (aka IICRC)” certified technician with education and proper equipment is the method of cleaning most carpet manufactures recommend. It is the deepest, most sanitary method  of cleaning in the industry.
