How to Avoid Carpet Wear and Tear Steam Clean Express, April 2017... When buying a good, quality carpet, you are making an investment. Whether you purchased for monetary and/or aesthetic reasons, it is important for you to keep your new carpet looking plush and fresh. Please consider the following tips: Rotate (replace or turn your carpet) at least four times a year to distribute the wear on your carpet Place your rugs and carpets to one side of the room and avoid putting them in front of high traffic areas, such as doorways. Carpet protectors, made from heavy woven canvas or plastic strips. Keep in mind that this method can be a tripping hazard. Do not walk on your carpets wearing heels, specifically stilettos, as they can pierce holes in the carpet, causing extreme damage. Reposition your furniture often and use castor cups beneath your heavy furniture to avoid permanent indentations from the fiber being crushed. Avoid keeping your carpet in direct sunlight. Sun damage causes fading, premature aging, and can cause the carpet to become lighter in certain areas (particularly when your rug is dyed with natural substances). If you cannot avoid this, rotate your rug at least twice a month. This will not stop the fading process but will instead create more even, unvarying colors as it fades. When neglected, a dirty rug will show signs of untimely wear from dirt on the surface of the rug settling down into the pile and accumulating. To prevent lifting damage and the spreading of dirt, vacuum in the direction of the pile. Take special care when vacuuming the edges, particularly the fringe (though we recommend you do not vacuum the fringe area), and do not use the brush or beater bar attachment. These attachments can tear away loose fibers and/or worsen previously damaged/threadbare areas. To straighten tangled fringe, flip the rug by taking hand of one end of the carpet and walking it over to the other, leaving the rug upside down and the fringe straightened. Do not brush or comb the fringe if some remain twisted; rather, gently shake the rug. Your Antique Carpet Antique carpets are more often than not made from wool or silk and are susceptible to insects. At least twice a year, check under your carpets and rugs and inspect thoroughly for holes, webbing, and insect droppings. If any of these problems are found, carefully vacuum both sides of the carpet, using the upholstery attachment with the nozzle covered with a piece of nylon stocking; repeat once or twice a week for at least six weeks and for safetys sake, inspect other areas of the house. Steam Clean Express is fully insured and bonded and only uses certified technicians to do the actual carpet cleaning. We are locally owned & operated, and have been doing business in Red Deer for 23 years.

Rugs & Moth Damage: What to Look For Flying moths do not eat at rugs but just one female moth can lay hundreds of eggs these eggs hatch into larvae and these pests consume the wool and silk fibers of your rug. Moths and their larvae thrive in darkened and undisturbed areas where a rug gets very little traffic and is not often cleaned. An infestation often involves more than one rug and can spread from woolen fabrics and furs in closets or drawers. A bad infestation sometime...s leaves a cobweb-like covering in the damaged area, along with fine, granular remains this damage isnt difficult to repair but reweaving a large area of the rug can be quite costly. Bare Spots in the Pile Interestingly enough, Generally moth larvae will prefer the taste of one yarn color over another, therefore the bare spots may involve specific colors being eaten away. Broken/Loose Piles This damage is due to the larvae having chewed through yarn overcastings or bindings. Cocoons Long, lightly fuzzy cylinders that are often the same color as the rugs pile due to larvaes habit of camouflaging their cocoons to blend in with the colors of the wool that surrounds them. Larvae in Pile White, slender, worm-like larvae can often be seen just after hatching, before theyve built their cocoons, and they are responsible for eating at the wool. Sand-like Particles These particles can be found down in the pile of the rug and has a tan or brown color. They have a granular look, are regular in size, and is the excretion of the larvae. Webs White, silky strands covering patches of the rugs pile, indicating a bad infestation.

This isnt mold, its just mildew. Or this mold isnt the toxic mold. Mold and mildew are the same thing. Mildew is often the term used for mold growth on clothing or fabric. If the mold is not Stachybotrys, it is safe to clean it myself. When doing any kind of mold abatement, it is necessary to take steps to limit exposure, no matter what type of mold it is. This includes wearing gloves, coveralls, and respiratory protection. Mold levels can increase up to 10 to 100,000 time...Continue reading

Carpet Cleaning Magic: Before and After ABOVE: Here is just a small sampling of the high tech... carpet cleaning difference. On a beautiful late spring afternoon, just a couple years ago, two areas of carpet lay next to each other. They were very much alike, these two areas of carpet. Both had been soft and comfortable under foot, and both were subject to the normal use and abuse that carpet is known to experience. Recently, I was asked to come over and take pictures of these two areas of carpet. They were still very much alike. Both were still quite soft under foot. Both were still showing their original patterns. Both, it turned out, had experienced approximately the same amount of use and abuse at the hands of the owners and their family, and their pets. But there was a difference. One area of carpet looked brand new, while the other area of carpet looked 10 years old. What Made The Difference Have you ever wondered, as I have, what makes this kind of difference in people and their carpets lives? It isnt always a location, or a brand. Most brands of carpet are quite good these days. It isnt necessarily what you do to put wear and tear on your carpet either. The difference lies in whether the areas of carpet have been properly cleaned and maintainedor if they havent. And that is why I am writing to you today. For that is the whole purpose of my company, Steam Clean Express: To give home owners like you a properly maintained and cleaned carpetone that will last you for many years to come. To ensure all carpets are cleaned to an optimum, Steam Clean Express use only truck-mounted steam cleaning systems operated by certified carpet cleaning technicians.

It is quite relaxing to be in the home once we arrive from work or when our children arrive from school. Due to tiredness sometimes we cant even go to our beds to rest. We just love to sit or lie down on our carpets and relax and watch television or listen to our favorite music. The question is how sure are we that the carpeting is clean and that it has no bacteria in it? Studies show the standard homeowners carpet contains about 200,000 bacteria in every square inch, about...Continue reading

Water Damage Cleanup - Mold Remediation / Removal Mold growth in the home or office can have a range of negative effects. Accordingly, its important to have an effective strategy in place to remove mold and prevent it from coming back. Steam Clean Express can help customers in Red Deer and Central Alberta to fight mold wherever it might be found. The staff can also address a variety of issues, from water damage cleanup to fire restoration. This is made possible by compreh...ensive training as a well as a real dedication to meeting customer needs. What Is Mold Remediation? Addressing mold in the home is a multi-tiered problem that entails a comprehensive strategy. Remediation involves knowing where moisture tends to accumulate, assessing just how many areas need to be treated, and finally formulating a plan of attack. Water Damage Cleanup is also crucial to the remediation process, as is controlling the source of the initial water damage. Health Risks Associated With Mold Along with damage to your property, mold can also have a serious impact on your health. People with sensitivities to mold may experience a number of symptoms, such as red and irritated eyes, congestion, headaches, and itching skin. Its also possible to have more severe reactions if mold allergies are present. These can include shortness of breath and continual cold and flu-like symptoms. Removal Vs. Remediation While mold remediation involves keeping mold levels at a minimum, removal of any affected materials may also be necessary. Mold can infiltrate the deepest levels of porous materials, and as a result it may return over and over. While cleaning can be beneficial in some instances, areas more prone to the growth of mold should undergo removal and replacement by a water damage cleanup company. Call Steam Clean Express if you experience any mold issues in your home. Our certified technicians are well trained and gladly assist you.
