Is carpet cleaning necessary?

December 18, 2008

If you have no air exchange from the outside and no one ever walks in your home, then the answer is no – you do not have to clean your carpet. However, if you use your home to live in, then cleaning your carpets is necessary.  Dirt from the outside sticks to your clothing, hair, and especially your shoes. Everything from contributions of your friendly neighborhood doggie to chemicals that have been used on lawns or pesticides can easily be tracked from your shoes into your home…Even the dead skin cells and hair that our own bodies shed. All of these things collect in your carpet, and vacuuming alone does not remove them. High temperature water is one of the best ways to resolve these problems. A professional cleaning your carpet once a year can remove most of these unwanted accumulations. Some people choose to use a home version carpet cleaner, but these do not have the ability to reach 200 degrees or higher. Their temperatures top out at 150 degrees which is not hot enough to break down the pesticides or chemicals that you routinely track into your home.  Home version carpet cleaners us soap to remove the dirt.  But using soap causes the carpet the get dirtier quicker.  A sticky residue is left behind and causes dirt to be attracted to the carpet.  So the more you clean the carpet with home version carpet cleaner the faster it gets dirty.  This is why hot water extraction systems are the best way to keep your carpets clean for longer periods of time.  Putting runner at the entrances would also cut down the dirt that is tracked into the home

Children are parent’s number one priority, and making sure that they are living in a safe and comfortable environment is of preeminent importance. Some children are allergic to common cleansing agents that are used while cleaning your carpet. At Rich’s Carpet, we offer environmentally safe cleaning alternatives. When using a professional carpet cleaner the motor is outside of the home. It has two hoses; one has very hot water combined with cleaning solution which is sprayed onto your carpets under pressure, allowing it to penetrate deep into your carpet. The second hose is a very powerful vacuum, which takes the solution, allergens and dirt back outside to a holding tank. Since the engines are outside of the home, none of the exhaust from the engines remains in your home. 

People ask if they can clean their carpet with a home version carpet cleaner. Home version cleaners are unable to achieve the high temperatures that a professional system can – and the higher the temperature the less chemicals are needed to accomplish the same result. Since home versions are unable to reach these temperatures additional cleaning solutions are used to compensate for the lack of heat. This causes fumes to linger in your home for a longer period of time.

Why Use a Personal Injury Lawyer – Reason #3

October 14, 2008

If you have been in a car accident or have been injured due to the activities of another person you might be wondering if you should consult with a personal injury lawyer. Here is a very good reason to do just that…

A good personal injury lawyer knows Insurance Law and how it pertains to your case. There is no way you can know the intricacies of insurance law without having confronted insurance companies. Some insurance adjusters will bend or misrepresent the law as it applies to your case in an attempt to convince you you are not entitled to compensation. Insurance companies may also conveniently forget to tell you certain conditions of your policy that might entitle you to a larger compensation package. The devil is in the details in such matters, and only a good personal injury lawyer can protect you from such practices.
