Carpet : The latest carpet
fibers are designed to look better longer, but no carpet is completely
maintenance free. Keeping it looking and performing great requires the
right kind of care, including :
1.
Frequent vacuuming;
Non-traffic areas- once a week
Light-traffic areas- twice a week
Moderate to heavy- two to five times a week
2.
Periodic professional cleaning- At least once a year
Hot
water extraction method ( steam cleaning) is the
preferred method. We can do this for you, give
us a
call
to set up an appointment.
3.
Spot Cleaning- If spot
removal is needed, we carry an
excellent biodegradable, odor-free spot cleaner.
4.
Repairs- We can
perform various carpet repairs:
Re-stretching- If a carpet over time has a bubble or a
raised area, we can stretch it flat.
Seam repair- If a carpet seam comes loose or opens
we
can usually re-seam the old carpet.
Sheet Vinyl : Vacuuming or sweeping
at least once a week is sufficient. If needed, occasionally clean with a
cloth or mop (micro-fiber or terrycloth) slightly moistened with a mild
detergent. We also carry various manufacturer brands of rinse-free vinyl
cleaners.
Laminate Floors: Follow the same
instructions for sheet vinyl.
Wood Floors :
Vacuum or sweep regularly. The vacuum head must be a brush or felt type.
Never mop or
flood your floor with water or other products. Use the
manufacturers recommended products in conjunction with a micro-fiber swifter
mop.
