Carpet Cleaning in Athens

If it’s been over a year since you have had your carpets cleaned, then let me remind you of three important benefits to having your carpet and rugs cleaned every 6-12 months:

1. Your carpet will stay beautiful. Regular cleaning prevents permanent staining and keeps traffic lanes looking great!
2. Your carpet will last longer. Regular cleaning removes ground-in soils that destroy traffic lanes. Carpet makers recommend cleaning at least every 12-18 months to keep warranty void.
3. Your home will be healthier. Your carpet is a fiber. It needs to be cleaned regularly to extract dander, dust pollen and bacteria that vacuuming doesn’t remove.

If you are ready to schedule or would like more information about our services just give our office call.

Hello friends and clients. It’s almost that time of year again….the birds will be singing, the sun will be shining, the flowers will be blooming, the eyes will be itching, the nose will be running…..aaaaahhhh allergy season is upon us.

But, before you pull out the box of tissues and allergy meds remember…..

There are proven things you can do to eliminate some allergens

 at their source and reduce your allergies!!

A popular website had this to say on the subject, “Why people develop allergies remains a mystery in the medical community. Until we know more about allergies the best line of defense is to eliminate the offending agents.” - peacefulmind.com

Then it goes on to list some of the “offending agents” several of which are found in most homes today: dust mites, pollens and mold. We all know what mold is and mold spores can even be found in your carpets. And we all know what pollens are and that they can come in through open doors and windows (even be tracked in) and settle in your home and carpets. But in case you don’t know what a dust mite is, they are microscopic little creatures (bug like) that wander in your fabrics and carpets. The living mites are not the offenders, it’s their fecal matter and the bodies of dead mites that most people are allergic to. (I know I’m gorssed out too!) That means…..

There are many allergy offenders living in your own home!

So far I haven’t given you much to smile about have I?

Well you can face the allergy season with a smile if you take a proactive approach to the season. Don’t let allergens in your own home irritate your allergies that may already be flared up by the hay fever of Springtime. Get your carpets cleaned properly and professionally and you will eliminate the pollens, molds and dust mite matter that can make your allergies go from bad to worse.

The EPA has this advice, “Keep the house clean. House dust mites, pollens, animal dander, and other allergy-causing agents can be reduced….through regular cleaning.”

So smile, you can reduce your allergies by removing common allergens at the source. Remember, your carpet is like a big “filter” that traps pollutants and allergens. But that “filter” gets full and redistributes allergens back into the air with every step you take. If it’s been more than 6-12 months since you had your carpets cleaned your “filter” (carpet) is probably full. If you want to take steps toward reducing allergens found in your home then pick up the phone and call us (706) 769-1444 right now.

We want to thank all of our wonderful clients, and friends for their continued support this year. We are grateful and thankful for your business and your referrals.

We hope that everyone has a phenomenal holiday and Happy Healthy New Year.

Sincerely,

Certified Clean Care Staff

This is the time of the year most people spend getting ready to give thanks. The season is usually spent hanging out with friends and family. Celebrating family traditions. Having parties. Enjoying delicious foods.

We all count our blessings (hopefully everyday) whether it’s being thankful for our health, our daily food, or our families. But how about being thankful for having clean carpets? Here are 3 reasons to be thankful for those clean carpets this holiday season:

Reason #1 to be thankful for clean carpet: They look beautiful for all our family, friends and guests. Just imagine welcoming all your holiday company with bright, soft, fluffy, clean carpets. Everyone will “Oooh!” and “Awww” over your wonderful housekeeping abilites - you’re a regular Martha Stuart aren’t you?

Reason #2 to be thankful for clean carpet: You know they will last longer when you maintain them properly. New carpet is quite an investment. Who wants to replace carpet before it’s time? When you follow your manufacture’s advice and have them professionally cleaned every 6-12 months you know they will look beautiful and last for years.

Reason #3 to be thankful for clean carpet: You and your family will breathe easier this winter. With winter time comes lots of time indoors in a house that’s sealed up tight. when you clean your carpets you clean your indoor air. A clean home really is a healthy home!

You have lots of reasons to be thankful - and so do I. In fact, I want you to know …….

WE ARE THANKFUL FOR YOU!                 

Too Bad It’s in Your Finished Basement…

Going through the trauma of water damage can be quite an upsetting, disruptive and inconvenient event destroying your home or business, personal property and irreplaceable family heirlooms. But unfortunately pipes break, appliances leak, washers and toilets overflow, sump pumps fail, it rains heavily, the list goes on and on. Certified Clean Care is just a phone call away and we are here to help if you need us.

There is a BIG difference between a ‘carpet cleaner’ and a water damage restoration specialist. There are a lot of guys out there with trucks or a shop van who can ’suck’ out the water. Truthfully, the carpet is just the tip of the iceberg. The entire structure is our main concern. If not mitigated quickly and thoroughly, water loses will continue to get worse, a condition known as secondary damage. It may be hidden to the eye for weeks or months but can continue to destroy walls, floors and the structural integrity of a building. It can also foster an unhealthy environment including microbial growth, mold, health hazards, bacteria, odors, ruined carpet and furniture - the list goes on and on. The severity of damage, amount of time passed and the source of the water will make a difference in how the damage is handled.

Why Certified Clean Care is the best choice to restore your wet house back to your clean, dry and healthy home. We have attended several specialty drying schools where we were certified, one of which is the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning & Restoration Certification and in Water Damage Restoration and Applied Structural Drying. We have learned different drying techniques for different situations. We understand how ans why things dry. This allows us to save and restore your home and contents if they are salvageable instead of removing, demolishing and rebuilding affected areas.

As a local, family owned business homeowners trust us with restoring their home and possessions to pre-loss condition. Remember, we are just a phone call away and we are here to help if you need us…..

90% of our time is spent indoors, we can help you keep your Indoor Air as Clean as possible as well as your carpets. How? By removing dirt, clay, grit, pollens, bacteria, and other contaminants in your carpet. Here are the “Facts” about why you should call Certified Clean Care immediately:

FACT 1: Sand is scratching and dulling your carpet.  Each day I pull pounds and pounds of clayish gritty soil out of the base of your neighbor’s carpets. It is in yours too! Spread the yarns apart and look deep. It’s grinding your expensive yarns into worthless fibers that fill up your vacuum bag.

Every moment you wait, your carpets wear out faster!

FACT 2: How do the traffic lanes feel? Oily residues from the street and air are drying to the carpet. Slightly sticky, they grab dirt and lock it on. Through a process called ‘oxidation’ soils bond with the carpet, causing color change, and becoming permanently attached. If you wait too long, you are throwing away the key to unlocking dirt and oil from traffic lanes. Clean before traffic-lanes show up!

The longer you wait between cleaning the more soil becomes permanent.

FACT 3: Is the air starting to smell stale? Pollutants in the air filter through your carpet.The carpet traps them so you don’t breathe them over and over. but what happens when that trap gets full? Your family starts breathing dust mite debris, pollens, pollutants, fungus, spores, bacteria and a long list of other really gross stuff. Once your carpets natural filtering ability gets full, it is time for a thorough cleaning for your family’s health’s sake.

Clean every six months and you will breathe easier.

All the FACTS: Clean & Breathe easier. clean your carpets before traffic lanes first start to appear, and they will last longer, look better, and protect your family’s health. Convinced that you need your carpets cleaned? Now comes the hard part….Choosing a company.

   Your day is almost over and after dinner you decide to lie down on the sofa to catch your favorite TV show and relax. You grab your favorite blanket and snuggle your face against that nice, soft pillow. You take a deep, cleansing breath and notice that that pillow doesn’t smell that fresh. You think to yourself, ’sure it is, just look at it, it looks clean’.

  If you want to find out how much soil is actually in your upholstery that “looks” clean, take the upholstery test. Simply take a white terry cloth towel and put it over the end of your vacuum attachment hose. Turn the vacuum on (be sure that you don’t let the vacuum suck up the towel). Gently massage the fabric with the cloth. You will have a round, dark spot which is embedded soil in the fabric.

Sometimes things that “look” clean - aren’t. Take the test! Then call Certified Clean Care (706) 769-1444 to get your cleaning appointment scheduled.

1. Appearance - Don’t feel embarrassed if guests pop in. You just feel good when your carpets are clean.
2. Health - carpet cleaning removes dust, allergens, germs, pet dander, and odor leaving your indoor environment and air clean, fresh and healthy.
3. Investment - Refresh, restore and extend the life of your expensive carpet. It will save you from premature replacement.
4. Warranty - Manufacturer warranties require proof of hiring a professional cleaning company; a minimum of every 12-18 months.

And remember, never waste money, time and patience on cheap, low quality cleaning companies.

Value is what you get  -  Price is what you pay.

Have you ever noticed that only a few days after dusting, you can see dust everywhere, settled on glass table tops and the like? Dust happens. Household dust carries bacteria; dander, mold spores, germs, and friends, pets and even that open window bring in fresh dirt all the time - a lot of settling on your carpet.

Between longer work days, time-consuming commutes, and kids’ activities that keep the calendar full, who has time to worry about cleaning the carpet? Today, we’re spending less time on household tasks, yet we still expect excellent results. Lucky for us, carpet-cleaning products, methods and equipment are improving all the time. Cleaning carpet may seem like more of a chore than dusting the coffee table, but properly cleaning and maintaining your carpet makes all the difference in the world.

Preserving the Life and Beauty of Your Carpet

With their rich colors, textures, and intricate weaves, carpet and rugs can give any room a homelike feel. But the beauty and life of your carpet depends on the care it receives.

Just how long should a well-cared-for carpet last? It’s hard to say. But generally speaking, ten years is given as a guideline for quality carpets that are well-maintained (12.4 years according to DuPont studies.)

Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Do you have allergies? Believe it or not, you can keep your carpet. Studies have shown that carpet is better at trapping allergens than hard flooring such as tile or hardwood. How can this be? Particles and allergens fall to the floor (out of the breathing zone) and onto the carpet. The fibers of the carpet trap allergens and particles, reducing their continued circulation in the air. Proper cleaning, and frequent vacuuming with a Hepa-filtered vacuum effectively sucks up the dust in the carpet, locks it in the machine, and keeps it out of the air.

Avoid Premature Replacement

Proper cleaning helps protect your carpet investment and safeguards you from having to replace it before its time – great news because it also keeps carpet out of the local dump!

Maintaining your carpet protects your pocketbook; just keep in mind that spending money to keep your carpet in top shape is a small amount to pay when compared to the cost of replacement

It may come as a surprise that something as simple as regular vacuuming can also have the largest impact on the cleanliness of your home and the air you breathe. Removing loose soil while it remains on the carpet surface prevents dirt from being tramped down into the carpet pile. Pile is the visible wear surface of carpet, consisting of yarn tufts in loop and/or cut configuration. Pile crush occurs when those tufts become matted by foot traffic. You can help prevent pile crush with proper vacuuming.

HOW TO VACUUM

   On carpet, use slow, repetitive front-to-back motions in an overlapping sequence. A quick once over doesn’t do much. But don’t press down or make too many passes over the same spot. Instead, move slightly to the left or right about every four strokes. This method removes soil well and also provides an attractive end product- a fresh, no-footprints pattern, if you will.     

 Tips                                Here are some procedures that can make vacuuming easier:              

•  When vacuuming, don’t ignore those corners and crevices where dust builds up – you know, those gray areas around the perimeters of rooms.           
•  Don’t forget to check your vacuum bags. When bags (or containters are half full to two-thirds full, remove and replace or                 empty them.           
• In closets, store shoes off the floor in specially designed closet organizers to make vacuuming easier.            
• Keep two vacuum cleaners in a two-story house, one upstairs and one down. To clean stairs themselves, work top down. A                hand-held vacuum may do this job more easily than other models.
