Your Carpets May Not Be as Clean as You Think

Your carpets are a haven for fleas, allergens, dust mites, pet dander, and even human dander. This means that your carpets become a resting place for hundreds of impurities brought into your home from places you visit.


Consider this. Your carpet is only as clean as the last restroom you walked out of. Unwanted “guests” including chemicals and critters, come from our gardens, our pets, our garage floors, public places we’ve been and even from the food and drink we allow to find its way into our carpets. Pet owners’ carpets are great candidates for many of these “guests”.


Many people think that vacuuming carpets religiously will solve the problem of maintaining a safe and clean environment for their families. Diligent vacuuming will definitely extend the life of your carpets considerably, but you need to consider the overall cleanliness of the carpets you walk on each day.

Professional carpet cleaning is the one way to rid carpets of all the above mentioned “guests” in your home. The best results come from a non-residue cleaning process and utilization of a low moisture system that avoids flooding the carpeting with excess water, which can actually create additional problems.


A clean, healthy household or business can be achieved with the proper carpet cleaning system, which will help keep your unwanted “guests” at bay.

Toxic mold in the home can be a serious issue and may have negative effects on your health and the structural integrity of your property. Here are some important points to consider if you suspect or have identified toxic mold in your home: The first step in mold remediation is identifying the affected areas. Mold can grow on various surfaces such as walls, ceilings, floors, and even within hidden spaces like behind wallpaper or under carpets. Look for visible signs of mold, including discoloration, musty odors, and water damage. In some cases, professional mold testing may be necessary to determine the extent of the infestation and identify hidden mold sources. We offer a no obligation FREE mold inspection for your home or office. Call us. We can help. After identifying the mold, assess the extent of the damage. Large-scale mold problems or cases involving toxic molds, such as black mold, (Stachybotrys chartarum), often require the expertise of certified mold remediation professionals. Remember, the color of the mold doesn’t indicate if its toxic or not. Only an air quality test can tell for sure. Mold thrives in moist environments, so it is essential to identify and address the underlying moisture source. Repair leaks, improve ventilation, and reduce humidity levels to prevent future mold growth. Dehumidifiers and proper airflow can aid in moisture control. Regularly monitor the previously affected areas for any signs of mold recurrence. If you notice new mold growth, act promptly to identify the source and address it. Implement preventive measures such as regular cleaning, adequate ventilation, and maintaining a dry living environment to minimize the chances of mold reappearing. Mold remediation is a vital process for ensuring a safe and healthy living environment. By following these effective techniques, you can address some mold problems efficiently and reduce the risk of health hazards associated with mold exposure. Remember, for severe or toxic mold infestations, it is best to consult professional mold remediation services to ensure the complete eradication of mold and safeguard the well-being of your property and its occupants. We offer a FREE no obligation mold inspection. Why not have us come out to check and make sure you are being safe before starting on these procedures. We are always happy to help.

Vacuuming your carpet is the best way to extend the life of your floor covering. Dirt and debris migrates down through the carpet and the pad onto the subfloor. Vacuuming on a regular basis will stop this migration and extend the life of your carpet.
