Carpet Cleaning Tips: Oak Bay, Victoria, Saanich,Langford,Colwood

Vacuum your carpets at least once a week - most carpet dirt is loose and removable with regular vacuuming. When vacuuming, go with the pile grain to remove surface soils and then against the grain to remove deeper, embedded particles.

To prevent premature carpet wear and soiling in regular traffic areas of your house, rotate your furniture occasionally

Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning Guidelines

The most important thing you can when you care for your carpet is vacuuming thoroughly and frequently, especially in high-traffic areas. Walking on soiled carpet works soil particles deep into the pile where they not only damage the fibers but are far more difficult to remove. Frequent vacuuming removes many of these particles before this happens. Always use a good vacuum cleaner.

Vacuuming is effective in removing most of the dry soil from your carpets. However, periodic professional cleaning is highly recommended to remove the oily, sticky soil that accumulates in the pile from tracked-in dirt, debris and air pollution. This oily soil is most evident to the eye on light or pastel carpets - they seem dull; the delicate color is hidden by an oily film - but it's there on every carpet. If this type of soil is allowed to build up, it actually begins to attract and hold the dry soil. The more dirt on the carpet, the more damage to the carpet fibers.

Carpet in a typical home should be professionally cleaned every 12 months, and more often with high traffic or in areas of the country with high air pollution. Hot water extraction ( commonly referred to as steam cleaning ) is the method of cleaning recommended by most carpet manufacturers.

10 Tips for Green Cleaning, Victoria BC - VICTORIA CARPET CARE

1) Use cleaning products made from safe natural and not-toxic ingredients to prevent exposure to the hazardous synthetic chemicals conventional cleaners contain.

2) Dust with a damp cloth to ensure that household dust, which collects toxins, is removed from surfaces and not stirred back into the air.

3) Open windows and doors occasionally (even in winter!) to rinse out any air pollutants that have accumulated inside.

4) Don’t use aerosol products. They fill your home with microscopic droplets of whatever is being sprayed. These droplets remain suspended in the air for hours and are easily inhaled.

5) Avoid room deodorizers or other air “freshening” products, which are frequently made from unhealthy chemicals.

6) Don’t use any pesticide products in your home, your yard or garden, or on your pets. Instead, supplement a preventative strategy with natural pest control methods.

7) If you decide to use them, keep conventional cleaners and other chemical products out of your children’s rooms.

8) Use chlorine-free dishwasher detergent. The chlorine in conventional detergents is easily vaporized by hot dishwasher water and then released into your home’s air.

9) Ask guests to remove their shoes when entering your home. That way, they won’t track in pollutants.

10) Buy a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. These special filters trap unhealthy dust particles.

Carpet Cleaning, Victoria BC: How Often Should I Have My Carpets Professionally Steam Cleaned?

Have your carpets professionally 'Steam Cleaned' a minimum of once per year, more often if you have pets or children.

Most people wait until the carpet is visibly soiled before they clean their carpets. This is not wise. What causes the most damage to carpets is the abrasive particles that are stuck to the carpet fibers by oil residues. These oil residues are everywhere and are from the burning of hydrocarbons from motor vehicles factories, power plants and volatilized oils from cooking. They are so small that we usually cannot see them. But they always settle down and land on the largest horizontal surfaces, our carpets! Once the oil is on the carpet, the soil then sticks to the fibers and no vacuum cleaner can then remove it. Also regular cleaning helps prevent matting and crushing of carpet by removing the oils that cause fibers to clump together and compress. When the carpet is so soiled that you can visibly see it then the abrasive soil has been rubbing on the fibers way too long and damage has already occurred.

The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends that carpet in a residential setting be cleaned a minimum of once per year and every 3 to 6 months if children and pets are present. Their reason for the frequency has more to do with maintaining a healthy indoor environment than appearance but it is still good advice.

Commercial and Office Carpet Cleaning, Victoria BC

Not only is your business environment the spot that impresses your clients– it is also the area where your team members spend about 25% of every week. You no doubt want the environment healthy and clean.

The carpet in your store or office environment serves a number of purposes.

1. It enhances the aesthetics of your environment

2. It reduces the noise levels within your environment

3. It is “warm” under your feet

4. And one of the least understood purposes of carpet is its ability to filter the pollutants out of the air and hold them in the carpet until it is vacuumed and or cleaned. This ability allows the carpet to assist in keeping the air that your employees breathe – as clean as it can be.

What often happens is that vacuums that do not have proper filtration systems will re-introduce the contaminants back into the air as the carpet is vacuumed and secondly and most important – carpet is usually left too long between professional cleaning and it gets “full” – just like the filters on your furnace. Once this happens it can no longer hold the soil and contaminants inside its’ structure and as quick as more soil is introduced – it goes directly into the air when disturbed. Also – when this soil is left in the carpet it starts to grind away at the carpet structure – prematurely wearing out your large investment. Visit our web site www.VictoriaCarpetCare.com . There are links where you will find plenty of additional information about commercial carpeting.

11 Great Ways To Keep Your Carpet Looking Great Between Cleanings: Carpet Cleaning, Victoria BC

VICTORIA CARPET CARE has recently cleaned your carpet and once again your carpet is clean, fresh, soft, and fluffy. All the spots that have been bothering you for the past few months are now gone. You are so happy with the amzing results! Now the question, is how do you keep them that way? Here are a few expert tips you can use year round to help keep your carpet looking as fresh and clean as the day we professionally cleaned it:

• Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum. As a general rule vacuum traffic areas 3 to 5 times per week. This will prevent dirt from settling into the carpet. Walking on dirt and grit that has settled to the base of the fibers causes an abrasive action, which results in the appearance of traffic lanes and worn areas.
• Clean up spills immediately,before they become permanent stains. You may refer to our spotting guide online, which can be found at www.VictoriaCarpetCare.com This will provide you with directions on how to proceed in removing spills. You may also call us at 250-474-7777 and we will also give you assistance on how to properly remove the spill.
• Have your carpet professionally cleaned on a regular basis. They should be cleaned every 6-12 months depending on the amount of “traffic” in the house. (i.e. kids, pets, shoes, etc.) Clean high traffic areas about twice as often as other areas.
• Reapply Carpet Protector each time the carpet is cleaned to keep stains from setting in and the soil from grinding in. More information can be found on our website.
• Place walk off mats inside and outside every entrance to your home.
• Place mats or bound remnants on top of the carpet at high wear areas, such as in front of the sofa or chairs and entry/exit points from the carpet.
• Placing smooth plastic chair mats under chairs in front of desks may help to prevent carpet delaminating and wear.
• Remove your shoes when you enter your home.
• Control the circulation and disposal of food and drink through the home.
• Use a powerful upright vacuum with a beater brush and excellent filtration system for carpets. Be sure to change the disposable bag often to ensure efficient operation.
• Take your vacuum in for a checkup at the vacuum repair shop annually to keep it operating at peak performance.

Upholstery Cleaning, Victoria BC: Tips For Prolonging The Life of Your Furniture

You just bought furniture for the living room, so how do you maintain its clean, fresh new appearance?

To keep your furniture clean, it’s essential to carry out scheduled maintenance, including periodic cleaning by a IICRC certified tech every one to two years. Furniture and fabric manufacturers recommend that consumers not wait until severe soiling happens before cleaning because the bigger the soiling, the less the probability of restoring the fabric's original color, appearance and texture, and the greater adverse effect on indoor environmental quality.

To keep your furniture clean, it's necessary to conduct routine maintenance including vacuuming and immediate attention to spills.

Regular cleaning of fabric and leather furnishings by a trained, certified technician can help restore your furniture's appearance, extend its life and keep it looking like new. Furthermore, certified technicians can offer simple suggestions to maintain a clean and healthful home or business environment overall.

This is where Victoria Carpet Care comes In...

When you look at your furniture, what do you see? How are the favorite couch you love to curl up on to watch a movie, or that beloved recliner you can’t resist taking a nap in doing? Are their colors not as vibrant? Are there abrasive soils embedded in them which are causing fiber/yarn damage? Do they have an unpleasant odor? Do they have spots and pet hair all over them?

Let the Cleaning Specialists at Victoria Carpet Care help you keep them looking (and feeling) their best by having them cleaned on a regular basis.

Our trained staff would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have regarding upholstery cleaning or schedule a free in-home estimate exclusively for you and your particular needs. This is a service we are happy to provide

Carpet Cleaning, Victoria BC ~ How To Select A Professional

To help educate consumers so they will not become victims of fraudulent practices within the cleaning industry, the IICRC (Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration) has released a list of guidelines to consider when selecting a carpet cleaner.

• Price – If an advertised price sounds too good to be true – it is! Often carpet cleaners advertise a low price just to get their foot in the door. Use common sense; a low price usually equates to low quality for any product or service. Legitimate business people have expenses they must cover, including license, taxes, insurance, employee wages, and benefits, and quality tools of the trade. A professional carpet cleaner who must cover all of these business expenses and make a profit to stay in the business cannot afford to drive to your house for $5.95, much less clean a room of carpet when there.
• Quality – Never should the price of cleaning services be the sole criterion for selecting a carpet cleaner. A price that sounds high may not be a signal of a rip-off. In all professions, quality work deserves a quality price.
• Truth in Advertising – Read the fine print in advertised specials to find out exactly what the price includes, and request a firm price in writing before the work begins.
• Training – Professional cleaning firms require management and employees to engage in formal training in a variety of cleaning disciplines, and these educational efforts will be ongoing. Consumers should ask about the formal training background of technicians who will be cleaning their carpet.
• Certification – Professional firms require technicians who have certification from organizations like the cleantrust or through comparable franchise or independent training and testing organizations.
• Experience – The years of experience a firm has, combined with formal training programs, contribute significantly to the experience and proficiency of its employees.
• Knowledgeable – Professional firms employ and train technicians who have the ability to answer basic questions regarding carpet performance and maintenance, as well as spotting and cleaning.
• References – Consumers should ask for references from previous customers, and they should consult friends and business acquaintances about the reputation of the cleaning firm they are considering. Do not hesitate to call the Chamber of Commerce.
• Trade Associations – Professional cleaning firms are members of regional or national trade associations or other organizations that promote high ethical standards and continuing education. Look for trade association logos in advertising.
• Credibility – Community involvement through the Chamber of Commerce and/or professional business, charitable or similar organizations will be undertaken by concerned, caring professionals. Look for logos indicating involvement in these organizations.
• Method – Ask the cleaner which method of cleaning will be used and the advantages and disadvantages of this method compared to other methods.
• Proof – Never hesitate to ask for proof. Ask to see the cleaner’s certification card, business license and insurance certificate.
• No Pressure – Technicians must be courteous and willing to take the time to thoroughly explain the cleaning and to answer all questions. The consumer should never feel pressured.

There is no single criterion for selecting a carpet cleaning service. Several combined factors must be considered in the selection decision.

Victoria Carpet Care is a proud member of the Westshore Chamber of Commerce and also a member of Ethical Services. All of our Cleaning Specialists are trained and certified by the IICRC. We strongley follow the code of conduct and guidelines set by the IICRC.

LEATHER FURNITURE CARE AND CLEANING, Victoria BC

Caring for your leather furniture prolongs its life and keeps it looking beautiful. Leather lasts much longer than other upholstery, and its good looks can not only be maintained, but get better over time. Well made leather furniture is an investment, and a little care goes a long way in helping to protect it.

Printed Materials on Leather: Magazines and newspapers can transfer onto leather furniture when left in contact. Sadly, you may end up with an extra copy of the print that you would never have wanted.

Heat and Sunshine: The position of furniture in a living room is often done with a thought towards convenience and the best way it looks in a room. But if you've placed a piece of leather furniture near to heating vents or any type of heating unit, then you risk damage to your leather furniture. Heating vents, radiators, and space heaters can dry out and ruin leather furniture with prolonged exposure. In addition, exposure to sunlight can fade and damage your leather furniture as well.

Infrequent Turning and Fluffing of Cushions: Because leather is great for holding its shape, owners are often neglect fluffing and rotating their cushions. Wrinkles that develop in leather couches can be impossible to fully fix. The best bet for owners of leather couches is to turn and fluff cushions once every week.

Using Cleaners That Aren't Suitable: Most of the time a dry cloth, or cloth and lukewarm water are all that is needed. Leather owners should avoid soaps and detergents, sprays, oils, and polishes that may damage their leather furniture. It is important to follow manufacturer's instructions carefully and when in doubt, call in the professionals.

Forgetting to Dust: Leather furniture needs to be dusted once every week. Some great options is to use a dry microfiber cloth or use the brush attachment on their vacuum cleaner.

Victoria Carpet Care offers leather care services for your home and business.

How To Remove Fresh Latex Paint From Carpet ~ Carpet Cleaning, Victoria BC

No matter how careful you are, painting walls or a ceiling is a dirty job. Not only do you risk getting paint on yourself, but also on furniture or the floor. If you have carpeted floors, it can be especially difficult to remove the paint. Fresh paint will drip and settle deep into the fibers of carpet. A paint stain on a carpet can be a very unsightly thing (especially a dark color on a light carpet) and can also be rather hard to remove if it is allowed to dry.

Directions on how to get the latex paint spots out from your carpet:

1) Remove as much wet paint as you can by blotting with a clean, white, absorbent cloth; work from the outside in to avoid spreading the stain.

2 ) Sponge with cool water and blot again (still from the outside in) until you've removed as much paint as you can.

3) Mix one teaspoon mild dishwashing detergent in a cup of lukewarm water.

4) Blot with detergent solution, using a clean, white cloth, working from the outside in.

5) Let the area dry completely and vacuum.

If you've allowed a latex paint stain to dry, contact a professional carpet cleaning service such as VICTORIA CARPET CARE for more information.

Carpet Cleaning, Victoria BC: The Benefits of Having Carpet In Your Home

1. Carpet Provides Safety

First and primary, a carpeted floor is a safer floor. The soft surface and cushioned under-padding not only reduce the impact of a fall, but also the likelihood of it happening in the first place. Carpet is naturally slip-resistant, meaning it’s harder to slip and fall.

2. Carpet, Easy To Care For!

Most carpets made today are made to be extremely stain-resistant, meaning cleanup is simple. With just a damp cloth or a quick vacuuming, your floors look as good as new. Because carpets trap dust and allergens, they can also improve the air quality in your home as long they’re correctly cleaned and vacuumed on a regular basis.

3. Carpet Flexibility and Style: Immeasurable!

Because of its flexibility, carpet fits in well in any design scheme. Carpet isn’t limited to just a few colors or grains. You can get carpet in any style, design, color or pattern that you want.

4. Carpet Provides Sound Reduction

If you live in a busy home with lots of traffic, you know how loud wood or laminate floors can be. Carpet stifles noise and reduces echoes in three ways; absorbing the impact of foot traffic, soaking up room sounds and echoes and finally, by blocking sound from carrying between floors (especially helpful in multi-dwelling homes).

5. Carpet Offers Warmth and Insulation

Carpet provides exceptional warmth underfoot, making it a great choice for cold bedrooms or stark offices. Carpet also acts as an insulator. The combination of the carpet and its under-padding acts as an additional layer of insulation in your home and - depending on the weight and grade of your carpet - it can even add to the value of your home.

6. Carpet: Available at Low Cost

Usually, carpet costs considerably less than other types of flooring like tile, marble or hardwood. Carpet tends to cost much less than other types of flooring options, even with professional installation.

7. Extensive Carpet Warranty

Unlike many hard surface flooring, most carpeting comes with an extensive manufacturer’s warranty that covers pile, installation and craftsmanship.
