Carpet or Upholstery Cleaning 701-838-4504 The Carpet Nitty Gritty Winter 2018 www.mainplusclean.com Vol. 12, Issue 1 It’s Easy Being Green! Green cleaning means the use of those products and services that have a lesser or reduced impact on human health and the envronment when compared with competing products or services that serve the same purpose. This includes cleaning your carpets/ upholstery and ductwork on a regular basis. Of course, the performance of cleaning products is critical to maintaining a safe and healthy indoor environment. More importantly the principle purpose of cleaning is to protect human health. We have been offering green cleaning chemicals since 2012. When we are cleaning carpet, we are improving the indoor air quality of your home. The largest air filter in your home is your carpet. The cleanest air in your home is 12 inches off the floor, above your carpet. We recommend that you have your carpets cleaned on a regular schedule of at least 1 time per year for low traffic areas and up to 4 times a year for high traffic areas. If you are interested in having us use green cleaning chemicals ask our friendly and knowledgeable staff when you schedule your next carpet cleaning. It is always a pleasure serving you, Tim Rostad Certified Carpet Technician 20 years P utting off carpet cleaning is costing you with damaged traffic lanes, spots becoming permanent, delicate fibers breaking down, soil grinding in… the list goes on and on. Until now you may not have had any reason to clean before spring. So to help you save your carpet, here are a few reasons why you should choose to get them cleaned this winter. 1) In the winter, drying time is quick- er. Opposite of what most would think, the lack of humidity allows moisture to evaporate quickly mak- ing your carpets dry faster. Clean your carpets in the winter for convenience! 2) Contrary to popular belief, your carpet may stay clean longer in the winter. In the spring and summer, dust pollens and pollutants are blown into your home through open windows resulting in an unhealthy indoor environment. Your home is contaminated with pollutants and gets shut tight for the winter, trap- ping everything inside. If you’re not cleaning your carpet in the winter, your carpets filtering ability is full so you and your family have been breathing polluted air. Clean your carpets in the winter for your health’s sake! 3) Another reason to clean your carpets in the winter is because we have more appointments readily available, while in the spring you have to wait longer to receive service. Have you been one of our customers who had to wait two or three weeks? Clean your carpets in the winter to avoid the rush!

Spring cleaning is right around the corner and we have a few tips for you to keep in mind. Remember to always start cleaning from the top and work your way down. This will save you the time and hassle of having to re-dust or vacuum twice. Start by dusting ceiling fans, cupboards or oth-er ledges that are at or above eye level. Next, dust around the waist line which includes windowsills, kitchen cabinets, books shelves and other furniture. Lastly, before vacuuming, clean all low surfaces such as base boards. This can also be done with an attachment from your vacu-um. After all of the dusting is completed the floors should be cleaned. With how much dust will be stirred up you will want to be sure to vacuum. Leaving the dirt and dust particles in your carpet could result in damaged fibers, taking away the cushi-ness of your carpet. Removing loose soil and dust from the carpet surface prevents the dirt from being ground into the carpet

and cutting down fibers. This is another reason to be sure to vacuum on a regular basis. Spring time is not the only time to vacuum. Once you are done cleaning and vacuum-ing, this is a perfect opportunity to call us at 701-838-4504 to book an appointment for professional carpet and upholstery cleaning.

Get the Family Involved in Spring Cleaning

If you need a little help in your cleaning endeavors, try to get your family in-volved. Even the most unwilling helper can make a big difference in the work load. I know what you are thinking. It might actually seem easi-er to just do everything by yourself rather than try to get your family to help. Don't worry, we've got advice to deal with even those most reluctant help-ers. This is actually a great time of year to get the entire family to work together. Try throwing on some music or establish-ing a family reward for when the work is done.

OFTEN, WE FORGET that carpeting is a textile, just like our upholstery, linens and clothing. When we pay

$50 for jeans, we are not upset when the seat and knees become threadbare. Why, on the other hand, do we feel that carpet should last a lifetime? After all, it is a fabric, similar to other products made from textiles.

The main reason a carpet shows signs of premature wear is because of improper maintenance. If major tra� c lanes were vacuumed more frequently and spots and spills were cleaned properly, carpeting would look better and last longer. Tra� c lanes and patterns are usually caused by the following factors: Tra� c lane gray, soiling, matting and wear. We will review each problem, how it is caused and what can be done to prevent it.

Tra� c Lane GrayCarpets are known to eventually show signs of wear. This wear creates an illusion of soiling, which often causes frustration and misunderstanding between homeowners and carpet care experts. Even though a carpet has been cleaned, it doesn’t mean that it will look the same as the rest of the carpet. Wear often causes what is known as tra� c lane gray, a condition that’s been nicknamed “uglied out”.

SoilingThe main cause of tra� c lane soiling is tracked-in soil, dust, airborne pollutants, food and beverages spilled on the carpet. Soil damages carpeting as well as making it look dirty. The main problem caused by soil is called � ber abrasion. Fiber abrasion is created by dirt particles scratching and scraping the � ber surface. Scratches and scrapes block light re� ection causing these areas to look even dirtier and gray. The easiest way to prevent soil from damaging the � ber is to vacuum daily.

MattingThere comes a point when carpet � bers no longer return to their original shape. As � bers lose their shape, they begin to look twisted, frayed or distorted, causing the carpet to look dirtier and gray. The easiest way to avoid matting is to vacuum and rake the carpet

often. Rearranging furniture also helps to prevent tra� c lanes and patterns.

WearWear is a combination of several things. Soil, heavy tra� c, loss of � bers, improper vacuuming, improper cleaning and time; all contribute to a worn carpet.

Regular MaintenanceThe best way to prevent excessive wear is to properly maintain your carpet. Vacuum every day if possible. Vacuuming removes loose soil before it becomes embedded in the � ber. Removal of abrasive soils from the carpet helps extend its life.

Do not use any products on your carpet unless advised by a professional cleaner. Have your carpets cleaned every 6 months to a year. The removal of embedded soils and spots refreshes the appearance of your carpet while ridding the � bers of abrasive materials. Call us at 701-838-4504 to schedule your appointment today!
