We have all sorts of materials in our homes. Wood, glass, tile, metal, carpet, fabrics, stone, plastics and more. They all have one thing in common. Sooner or later, they all need to be cleaned. Fortunately, even with so many materials, there are only four basic principles you need to know in order to clean any of them. Don’t shout it out… C.H.A.T. it out!
The basic principles of cleaning can be easily remembered by the acronym, C.H.A.T. The four letters stand for Chemical, Heat, Agitation and Time. Proper application of these four principles is important for effective cleaning.
Chemical-The word chemical doesn’t always mean toxic; technically, even water is a chemical. Everyone uses soap to wash themselves, shampoo to clean their hair and various detergents to clean the dishes they eat on, and the clothes they wear. All of these cleaning agents are chemicals, and properly used, they are harmless. There are different cleaning agents designed to remove a variety of soils from all kinds of surfaces. A product designed to work on tile and grout floors would likely damage carpet or wood. A wood cleaner would not do an adequate job of cleaning glass. To work well the right chemicals must be matched to surface and suitable for the soil that you are trying to remove.
Heat-Hot water cleans better than cold water. In situations where it is safe to do so, adding heat to your cleaning solution will increase chemical effectiveness, and decrease overall cleaning time. When you are dealing with heavily soiled surfaces, heat is especially helpful. Grease and oil are broken down by heat, so using hot cleaning solution and hot water to rinse will yield excellent results.
Agitation-Scouring pads, brushes, coarse cloths, and even high pressure water are some methods used to achieve agitation. Agitation helps by distributing your cleaning agent, dislodging soils from surfaces and suspending them in the cleaning solution to be rinsed away.
Time-We all know that the longer you scrub and rinse something, the cleaner it gets. While that is true, it’s not the best use of time. When you are cleaning, dwell time of your cleaning agent is important. Dwell time means that you allow the product time to work, breaking down and dissolving soils. The amount of dwell time will depend on the type and quantity of soiling, the surface being cleaned and the strength and concentration of your cleaning solution.
Easy as Pie -Think of all of the four principles (chemical, heat, agitation, time) as four slices of a pie. If you slice the pie evenly, everyone gets the same amount. But, if someone wants a bigger slice, you will have to decrease the size of one or more of the other pieces of the pie.
Here’s how it works in cleaning: If you have to use a very mild cleaning chemical, you’ll need to increase dwell time, agitation and/or temperature. If you can’t use hot water, you will have to use more chemical, dwell time, or scrub more aggressively. If you can’t use agitation, you will need more time, heat and/or chemical action. Increasing temperature by using hot water is usually the best way to improve cleaning efficiency and save time. Hot water reduces the amount of chemical you need to clean, suspends more soil, and rinses better. Temperatures over 130ºF begin to kill microbes on surfaces, providing sanitizing benefits. If you apply The 4 Principles of Cleaning, you can be more successful cleaning just about anything.
Of course, when it comes to cleaning your carpet, upholstery, rugs and tile, Carpet Cure technicians are the experts at applying the 4 principles of cleaning. That’s why we produce the best results every time, guaranteed.
All through the year we track various soils into our homes. Not only that, pollutants from car exhaust, pollens, pet and human dander, and just plain old dirt can damage surfaces in your home including carpet, tile, wood, upholstery and fabrics. Soil control is an important part of keeping your home clean and healthy
You can control soil by limiting the entrance and buildup of contaminants inside your home. The best way to control soil inside your home is to prevent its entry. They say that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; it takes 12 times more effort, time and money to remove soil as it does to prevent it from ever entering inside a structure. Remember that whatever is outside tends to come in, so consider the following: Keep walkways, steps and porches clean and free of dirt, mold, moss and algae. All through the year we track various soils into our homes. Not only that, pollutants from car exhaust, pollens, pet and human dander, and just plain old dirt can damage surfaces in your home including carpet, tile, wood, upholstery and fabrics. Soil control is an important part of keeping your home clean and healthy.
Maintain garage floors in order to prevent oil, road grime and other contaminants from being tracked indoors. Place doormats both outside and inside all of the entrances to your home. Outdoor mats should be a water resistant, synthetic, non-absorbent fiber such as olefin or polypropylene and be textured to scrape heavy soils off your shoes. Avoid natural fibers which tend to mold and rot creating a new soil source for your home.
Inside doormats should be absorbent like nylon, cotton or wool. Vacuum and wash it periodically to remove built-up soils. Remove shoes when you come indoors, but don’t make the mistake of going barefoot all the time. The skin of our feet contains oils that attach to carpet and attract soil. Instead of going barefoot, wear clean house shoes, socks or slippers indoors. Normal daily activities generate a variety of dust and residues that settle on just about every surface inside your home.
Vacuuming is the most effective way to maintain your carpets. 7479% of soil in carpet is dry, particulate soil that can be removed by vacuuming. You should also vacuum your upholstered furniture, drapery and blinds for the same reasons. When you dust your furniture, do so gently, preferably with a duster attachment on your vacuum cleaner. If you use a duster, go slow and allow dust to settle for an hour or so and vacuum the floor last. Your carpet can last a long time if properly cared for.
Annual professional carpet cleaning is recommended in most homes. Busy homes with children and pets require cleaning twice a year or more. Don’t wait until your carpets, rugs and upholstery look dirty to have them cleaned by a professional; by the time fibers have reached a visibly soiled state they are already damaged. Call Carpet Cure to learn more or schedule your next cleaning.
People often come to us with questions regarding their hand made area rugs and we are always happy to share our experience and reputation with everyone. This morning, we were asked about a fading appearance on a particular rug. After sharing insights with her about what this phenomenon is and what causes it, we decided it was worth recording a short video to share it with our web audience. Enjoy!

Often times when
professional carpet cleaners are called upon to take care of stains or spots in
carpets the first question will inevitably be “can you get it out”? If the
first response out of the tech’s mouth is a resounding “yes”, then you might
want to look into hiring someone else. The truth of the matter is not all
stains are removable. We always have a “let’s take a look at it and if it can
be removed” mindset. If it can be removed, we have what it takes to get it
out”.
Sugar
and oil-based stains.
Most dark colored,
brown or black, spots are sugar or oil based. These can be removed 90% of the
time. Stains in this category include colas, tea, coffee, and non-red juices.
With cola stains, a traffic lane cleaner is usually the way to go and will take
care of the problem almost always. Tea and coffee are sometimes a little more
difficult and may require an acid rinse in conjunction with the traffic lane
cleaner. Juices like apple or orange are relatively easy to get out. The
problems occur when you get into the red juices such as grape or cranberry,
especially on light carpets. Red juices fall into the red dye category and
sometimes the only way to get those out is a heat transfer dye process. This
process is usually reserved as a last resort and even then there are no
guarantees.
Body
fluids.
So what about stains
such as blood, vomit, and urine? Well these, like all stains, need to be
addressed quickly. The sooner you get them removed the better. The trick with
blood is to not clean it with hot water or alkaline cleaning products. You
might think you’re helping the carpet tech out by trying to remove some of the
stains yourself but these treatments will actually set the blood into the
carpet. Your best bet is to leave it to the professional. Vomit and urine are
similar in that they are removed through a process. And it is very important to
get urine up as soon as possible. The longer it stays the more it will continue
to deteriorate the carpet. These types of spots are usually removed by
utilizing a pre-treatment that breaks down the stain. Then the spot is
thoroughly extracted. These steps will be repeated as necessary and afterwards,
an enzyme is sprayed that will continue to break the spot down.
Mystery
stains.
Sometimes you can get
stains through no fault of your own. These would include stains from yellowing,
water rings, and filtration soiling. Yellowing is one of those stains that can
either be easily neutralized or impossible to remove. It is very common and can
be treated with citric acid or an acid rinse. Water rings are also sometimes
hit or miss. They are treated with traffic lane cleaner or an acid rinse.
Filtration soiling is usually found in hallways near air conditioning units or
where the carpet meets the baseboards. These are black lines that are caused by
the carpet “filtering” soil. Getting rid of these stains requires using a
special spotter and manually scrubbing the area with a towel. Due to the extra
labor involved, this process may cost a bit more than you would like.
Remove
it FAST!
The bottom line is
that there are no guarantees with spot removal. What seems like an easy to
remove stain could prove terribly difficult, and vice versa. But SPEED is your
friend. Remove spots and stains FAST and you’ll have better luck in removal.
You vacuum twice a week, like clockwork. You ask everyone to take their shoes off at the door, leave your muddy shoes on the garage stoop, and toss your throw rugs in the washer every weekend. You do your level best to keep dirt outside where it belongs and pollutants inside your home to a minimum.
But no family is perfect.
Despite your best efforts at keeping spaghetti in the kitchen and dirt in the garden, no matter how careful you are, sooner or later it will happen. Someone will spill food or drink onto your carpet. You may see it the second it happens, or you may not spot it until it has dried and set. Either way, you will panic. You will fear that your beautiful carpet is ruined forever.
And you will wonder what to do.
What you need to know is that whether a simple spill comes out or becomes a permanent stain depends just as much on what you don’t do as what you do. Here are a few recommendations to help increase your chances of a successful stain treating outcome:
DO NOT rub or scrub the carpet with a towel or brush. This will distort the face yarns and cause permanent damage to the surface, which will only amplify the look of any stain.
DO pick up any chunks and then remove the excess liquid by gently blotting or scraping up as much of the spill as you can. If it is a liquid, such as coffee, wine or soda, use a white towel and blot up as much of the spill as possible. Keep blotting until your towel stops absorbing liquid.
DO NOT spread the spot. When scraping up thick spills, such as spaghetti sauce, work gently from the outside edges of the spot toward the middle. Scrape up as much as possible before using any spot cleaners.
DO call a reputable professional cleaning company as soon as possible. Experienced carpet cleaners will have a specialty spotter for just about any type of spill. In addition, they will have the equipment to promptly remove the stain and flush it with fresh water. Prompt professional attention is your best chance to remove spills without damaging the color or texture of your carpet.
DO NOT use cleaning agents from the grocery store. Most often, these products are low quality and ineffective. But even high quality products still need to be used carefully. A cleaning product must be carefully chosen for the type of spot and the kind of fabric that your carpet is made from. If you try to use the wrong product, or use it incorrectly, you may make the spill more difficult or even impossible for even the most experienced professional to remove.
While nobody can guarantee that every spot and stain will come out, by following these tips you will make cleaning up spots and spills much easier. You will be more likely to remove the stain completely, leaving your carpet looking good and helping your carpet to look good for years to come.
