Should I Clean The Carpets Before I Move In?

Moving into a new home is exciting, but it’s also a lot of work. Packing and unpacking, painting, arranging your new rooms – there’s plenty to do. But this is also the perfect opportunity to have the carpets in your new place cleaned, and A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning in Littleton is the company to call. Why Clean Your Carpets Before Moving In? There are a few things better than moving into a new home that looks and feels clean. A fresh coat of paint on the walls, Spotless tile floors in the kitchen and bathroom, and professionally cleaned carpets that look and feel great. From a functional perspective, having your carpets cleaned before moving in means you don’t have to hassle with cleaning around your furniture after you’re settled. Also, the absence of anything on the carpet or mounted to the wall is assurance that the entire carpet, even the most difficult-to-reach nooks and crannies, will be cleaned. Utilizing our carpet cleaning services near Denver prior to moving into your home is also a smart move if the house was previously lived in. We like to think that everyone is as clean and sanitary as we are, but why take the chance? A pre-move-in carpet cleaning ensures that your home’s carpets are fully sanitized and devoid of germs, dirt, pet dander, food crumbs, and bacteria. And if your house was previously occupied by residents who smoked or owned pets, cleaning the carpets is a must in order to eliminate any lingering stains and odors. What To Do Before Our Carpet Cleaners Arrive Before our carpet cleaners arrive, there are a few things you should consider doing. For example, a little vacuuming never hurts, especially if you’ve been in and out of the home several times since the purchase. Removing stray debris or dirt on the carpet’s surface allows our expert carpet professionals to focus on any dirt, dust, or detritus that’s found its way deep into the carpet’s fibers. Another thing to do is check the home’s baseboards and HVAC vents. If these items weren’t dusted and cleaned by the outgoing residents, it’s a smart move to take care of it yourself. That way, there’s no danger of a dusty baseboard or dirty HVAC vent affecting your freshly cleaned carpets. If you’ve moved anything into your home, even small items, make sure they’re moved to a different location so that our team can work quickly and efficiently. Also, if you’ve already identified a place or two on the carpet that’s worn down or has a stain, be sure to point these out to us so we handle them appropriately. Lastly, on the day that the cleaning is scheduled, make sure that there a spot in the driveway for us to park, and that there’s a clear path in and out of your home. We’ll need to move machines in and out, run hoses, etc. Easy ingress/egress makes the process run even smoother, saving you time and money. Schedule a Professional Carpet Cleaning Moving into a new home means a fresh start, and you’ll want to hit the ground running with clean walls, floors, and carpet. Before you unpack, contact A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning and make an appointment to have your carpets professionally cleaned. You’ll love the way your carpets look, feel, and smell, and you’ll be especially happy with how clean they are.

The Long-Term Effect Of Pet Urine On Your Carpet

If you’re a pet owner, no doubt your cat, dog, or rabbit has had at least one accident in your living room or den. It’s important to clean these mistakes up promptly, and A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning reinforces this fact with a look at the long-term effects of pet urine on your carpet. The Smell If your pet’s accident isn’t identified quickly and treated promptly, the pervading smell of urine will no doubt alert you to the fact that an accident has occurred. In fact, at some point the odor will permeate your entire home and adversely affect your family’s comfort and health, not to mention their overall mood. What causes the smell to grow so strong and so noxious? Many people think of urine as purely a liquid substance, but the fact it is that when it dries it leaves behind a solid residue. This residue is a concentrated form of the original urine, and when it’s contacted by moisture it releases the pungent, unmistakable scent of urine. So sensitive to moisture is this residue that even a humid day is enough to trigger the smell. Also, if your pet isn’t properly housebroken or the affected area isn’t treated, it’s likely that it will repeatedly urinate in the same area, since this is an inclination possessed by many animals. In sum, the affected area shouldn’t be considered completely safe until it’s addressed by the professional carpet cleaning services offered by our company serving Denver. Damage To Your Carpet Urine is strong stuff – so strong in fact that it can damage your carpet. Untreated pet urine can cause PH imbalances that result in a change or shift in your carpet color. The chemicals in the urine cause a change in the carpet dyes, leading a “browning” effect and/or a change in color to orange, red, or yellow. And if you have a carpet made of wool or a similar material, pet urine can actually break the bond between the dye and the fibers, causing the carpet colors to bleed. A darker color could bleed into a lighter area and for all intents and purposes ruin your carpet. Treatment When treating a pet urine stain, speed is paramount. Contact our carpet cleaning professionals immediately, and the first thing we’ll do is blot the area until all of the moisture is soaked up. Then we’ll treat the spot with a special mixture that reacts with the urine and neutralizes it. After this reaction occurs, the spot is blotted dry. We can also remedy the aforementioned “browning” problem associated with urine stains, as well as offer different cleanup solutions depending on the extent of the accident and the amount of time that has passed since it happened. Our carpet cleaners near Littleton do not recommend using DIY stain-removal products from WalMart, Target, and the like, since these products contain harmful chemicals that can permanently damage your carpet. Contact a Professional Carpet Cleaner At some point in your pet’s life, it’s likely that you’ll find pet urine on your carpet. When you do, contact A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning right away. We’ll treat the problem professionally, ensuring that your carpet is ok and that your home contains no foul odors.

Repairing Carpet vs. Repairing an Area Rug

If you’re seeking expert rug repair near Littleton, you might be wondering what the differences are between repairing a carpet and repairing an area rug. A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning, serving the Denver metro area, compares the two approaches. Repairing an Area Rug How Do We Define an Area Rug? An area rug is made of heavy fabric no larger than 6’ x 9’ in size (anything larger is technically a carpet). The biggest difference between an area rug and a carpet is that the latter is attached to the subfloor while the former is not. Area rugs typically have a nap or pile and come in a variety of styles: braided, rag, woven, and oriental are some of the most popular. Problems Associated With an Area Rug Over time, several issues can arise with an area rug. Spills and burns are among the most common problems, as are frayed edges. Also, bound rugs require rebinding, while braided rugs can come unbraided. Minor area rug repair can sometimes be accomplished by the rug owner – but for complex repairs, it’s best to contact a professional rug repair company serving Denver. Identifying/Repairing a Rug Problem Further to the above, here’s a brief summary of how certain rug problems are identified/repaired: If the edges fray, they can be sewed If a jute rug’s edges fray, they can be trimmed and bound If a braided rug comes unbraided, it can be re-braided and re-bound Any cuts or tears in an area rug can be patched with tape or resewn Repairing Carpet How Do We Define Carpet? As noted above, the two biggest differences between carpet and an area rug are size, and the fact that carpet is attached to the subfloor. Unlike an area rug, carpet almost always has a pad beneath it. Also, carpeting for large rooms usually has a seam that connects two pieces together. Popular carpet fabrics include nylon, wool, polyester, and acrylic. Problems Associated With Carpet All carpet is prone to wear and tear, relative to the amount of foot traffic it endures. Pet damage, food spills, burns, and tears are all common problems associated with carpet. Also, seamed carpet can separate over time. Regular vacuuming can extend a carpet’s lifespan by removing dirt and grit that gradually wears down the carpet’s fabric/pile. Bigger repair jobs, i.e. split seams, tears, and bad stains, should be left to an experienced carpet repair company. Identifying/Repairing a Carpet Problem Here’s an overview of how carpet problems that can be identified/repaired by the homeowner: If a section of carpet is flattened, use a metal pet brush to restore the carpet’s fullness For minor burns, the singed fibers can be snipped off with cuticle scissors Shag or Berber carpets have loops that can loosen over time. This problem is alleviated by either reinserting these loops into the backing (you’ll need an awl for this), or cutting off the loose loops. Some spills and stains can be remedied with an oxygen cleaner and/or a pet-stain remover If something sticky gets stuck in the carpet, apply ice to the affected area Work with an Experienced Carpet Repairer A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning is dedicated to keeping your home’s interior in pristine condition.

Repairing Pet Scratches on Upholstery

If you have a pet, chances are your favorite furball has shown a proclivity for scratching the upholstery in your home. A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning in Littleton offers some insight into how we repair these scratches to keep your furniture looking good. Assess the Extent of Damage Over time, small snags, nicks, and shredding can easily turn into full-blown tears and holes. And of course, the more your cat uses your furniture as its de facto scratching post, the faster the small problems will become big ones. Our local furniture repair team will assess the extent of damage to your furniture, noting the quantity of damaged areas and the severity of each. Option 1: Covering If the damage is not significant in terms of large holes and tears, but instead consists only of scratches, covering is the best option. Even if there are scratches on many parts of your couch or easy chair, covering is still more budget-friendly than reupholstering the damaged piece. The easiest solution, depending on the amount of area covered by scratching, is to conceal the damage with a pillow or throw. If the furniture is something slipcovered, i.e. a futon or sofa, we can apply an elasticized slipcover – or, we can cover the entire item with a fabric “cover” that gets tucked into the furniture’s crevices and is held in place with PVC piping or something similar. Another solution to consider, especially if the damage is restricted to a specific part of the furniture piece (armrest, leg, etc.), is reupholstering just that part of the item. If we were to go this route, we would use a contrasting color for the freshly upholstered section, since trying to match patterns/color is difficult with furniture. Option 2:  Patching a Hole When patching a hole in upholstery, the approach taken by A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning is similar to our approach to patching carpet. Specifically, we’ll take a piece of fabric from an area on the item that is out of the way (invisible to the eye), and use this piece to patch the hole. The process requires a steady hand: first we’ll need to hold the torn area aside and put the patch underneath it, and right afterwards we’ll use pins to hold the patch in place. The next step is especially tricky, because it involves spreading fabric glue gently along the tear’s edges and atop the patch, and then affixing the patch to the torn area without dribbling glue on the fabric or causing air bubbles to form. When the glue is dry, which typically takes a few hours, we remove the pins and voila – the hole is “gone”. Option 3: Remedying a Rip Though less egregious than holes, rips are still unsightly and annoying. Our furniture repair experts in Littleton will remedy your upholstery rips with needle, thread, and a protective sealant. This last item is applied first, to the edges of the rip, to eliminate the chance of further ripping. When this is done, we pinch the two ripped edges together and stitch them up, being careful to first replace any filling that may have fallen out due to the rip.

Remember at A Personal Touch, “We don’t cut corners, we clean them.”

How Visible Are Carpet Patches?

When they first contact us for carpet repair near Denver, many of our customers are curious whether the carpet patches we install will be visible. Our answer is that if the job is done right, the patch should be invisible – in other words, appearing as part of the original carpet. Let’s look at the necessary steps for proper patching. Step 1: Locate an Exact Match When replacing a piece of carpet that’s been damaged by a burn, water, or natural wear-out, the first step is to locate an exact match. Ideally, the customer has an extra roll of carpet stored in the basement or attic, which we can easily cut the patch from. If no extra carpet exists, our backup plan is to retrieve the patch from an out-of-the-way spot in the existing carpet, i.e. from a closet or under the bed. Step 2: Orientation Once a match is procured, it’s important to examine the carpet around the “replacement area” and determine which way the pile flows. You don’t want a carpet patch whose pile points in the opposite direction of the existing carpet. Often times we’ll tape an arrow to the patch as a reminder. Step 3: Measuring and Cutting Once we have a section of carpet to cut the patch from and we’ve confirmed pile direction, we’ll make an exact measurement of the area that requires a replacement. Our tools allow us to easily cut out the exact size and shape of the carpet section to be replaced, and we do the same thing with the replacement piece we take from our section of existing carpet. Of course, we check and double-check our measurements before we put the patch in place. Also, we lay the patch face-down and cut along the underside – this allows for easier, more exact cutting. Step 4: Gluing The important thing to remember here is that we apply the adhesive to the empty space and not to the patch itself. Before we insert the patch, we check again to confirm that the pile is lined up correctly. When the patch is put in place, the glue only takes around 15 minutes to dry. Our team works quickly to ensure that the patch is placed well before the adhesive begins drying. Staying ahead of the drying process helps us to get the patch level with the surrounding carpet. Step 5: Final Steps With the patch oriented correctly and firmly adhered to the floor, we move on to a couple of final steps that guarantee the patch appears homogeneous with the rest of the carpet. First, we trim away any excess carpet fibers that may have popped up during replacement. Then we use a carpet-seam roller and thoroughly go over the patch and the surrounding carpet, making sure that all of the fibers blend in and conclusively hiding even the smallest visible seam. Work with an Expert When done properly, a carpet patch should be invisible – even if you get down on your hands and knees for an up-close look. A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning follows a proven procedure for carpet patching, just like we do with all of our services. If you’re in need of carpet repair, cleaning, or replacement, contact us today. Remember at A Personal Touch, “We don’t cut corners, we clean them.”

Five Simple Upholstery Cleaning Tips

Tip #1: Know Your Upholstery Cleaning Codes Before you set out to clean your upholstery, it’s important to know the applicable upholstery cleaning codes. These codes are attached to every piece of furniture, and they offer direction regarding how each piece should be cleaned. There are three codes to be aware of: “W” means that the upholstery can be cleaned with a water-based cleaning product. “S” states that the cleaning product should be water-free: for example, a dry cleaning solvent. “X” confirms that the piece must be cleaned by a professional, lest you risk damaging the upholstery. Tip #2: Vacuuming Though it might seem strange at first glance, vacuuming your upholstery is a terrific idea for ensuring your upholstery always looks good. Vacuuming isn’t labor-intensive and it shouldn’t take too much time, and the reward is the removal of dust, dirt, allergens, bacteria, and microbes that naturally accumulate in places where people (and sometimes animals) are present. To ensure access to the folds, tight spots, and crevices inherent to most furniture, put an upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner. And if you have a pet, consider purchasing pet hair-removal attachments that are specifically designed to deal with pet hair and dander. Tip #3: Blot Fresh Spills Immediately It’s a common belief that coffee, juice, and wine spills are unsalvageable. However, if you act quickly you can remove even these tough stains. The key is to blot the stain right after it happens. Wet some paper towels or a clean rag/cloth and begin blotting until the stain is saturated with water. Be careful not to scrub or rub the stain, since this will only enlarge it. Tip #4: Create Your Own Cleaning Mixture Sometimes the best solutions for easy, inexpensive upholstery cleaning are already in your home. Such is the case when you create your own cleaning mixture by using four-parts lukewarm water and one-part laundry detergent. After you’ve mixed these ingredients together in a bowl, test out the mixture on a hidden couch cushion or dining room chair stain. Just dip a sponge into the mixture and rub it into the stain. Wipe the spot and let it dry for a bit, and when you return to it check for any discoloration or damage. If everything looks good, your mixture is safe to use. In fact, you might find that this solution is just as effective as over-the-counter cleaning products. Tip #5: Salt, Baking Soda, and White Vinegar Baking soda is a very effective upholstery cleaner. Just mix it with cold water and you can conquer virtually any stain, especially one that’s new/relatively new. Meanwhile, a mixture of salt and cold water is great for combating red wine stains. As for white vinegar, consider it for stain elimination on your white upholstery. Call the Professionals Our professional carpet cleaners serving Denver are always ready to lend our customers a hand.

How Often Should You Clean Your Furniture?

Keeping your furniture clean is important for maintaining its looks and longevity, as well as ensuring your couches and chairs don’t become havens for dust mites and allergens. So how often should you seek out professional upholstery cleaning near Littleton? Let’s discuss. How often should you clean your furniture? Although carpet, purely through its ubiquitousness in the home or office, gets more attention from a cleaning point of view, your furniture requires periodic cleaning too. Spots and stains caused by pets and children are a fact of life, as are the attraction of allergens and dust, and general soil buildup. The quantity of these issues, and other problems like fading, will vary depending on a piece of furniture’s placement and frequency of use. But rather than creating a “cleaning calendar” for each individual furniture item, you should have all of your furniture cleaned simultaneously. Our carpet cleaning experts suggest having your furniture professionally cleaned at least once a year, which is the same frequency at which you would have a pro clean your carpets. An annual deep-clean will keep your furniture clean and healthy, devoid of visible setbacks like stains, spots, and marks, and clear of invisible problems like allergens and microorganisms that can exacerbate the allergies and breathing problems suffered by family, friends, and co-workers. It’s also helpful to vacuum your furniture on a weekly or biweekly basis, but an annual deep clean should be conducted by professionals. What’s entailed in a furniture cleaning? Before we begin cleaning, we inspect each piece of furniture in your home or office and create a customized cleaning plan. Don’t worry about any unusual or exotic upholstery: our experienced cleaning pros are familiar with almost every upholstery type you can think of, including velvet, Jacquard, and Haitian cotton. In most cases, furniture upholstery is more delicate than carpet. Thus, furniture upholstery is more susceptible to damage and/or faded colors if the right approach isn’t used. Depending on the material, our professional furniture cleaners near Denver will either steam-clean your upholstery or use a special dry-cleaning solvent. In both cases, our #1 priority is to ensure the solution we use maintains your furniture’s look and feel while helping it to last longer. We don’t use any harsh chemicals, soaps, or solvents that leave behind a “sticky” feeling, and everything we utilize is healthy, so you needn’t worry about your kids or pets being around the furniture after it’s cleaned. Our cleaning methods are safe for the entire family, they dry fast, and they naturally resist re-soiling. And of course, we don’t use anything that could damage or discolor your furniture’s upholstery. Similar to having your carpet cleaned, an annual furniture clean will improve your home’s air quality. Allergens, mildew, and mold can affect furniture in the same manner that they do carpet, and these things are especially prevalent in furniture that sees a lot of use. Through deep-cleaning your furniture, these irritants are completely removed from cushions, lining, and fabric, thus maintaining fresh, healthy air throughout your home or office. For any questions regarding furniture cleaning and upholstery treatment, contact A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning in Littleton. We’re happy to visit your home or office, review your furniture cleaning needs, and provide you with a competitive quote. Remember at A Personal Touch, “We don’t cut corners, we clean them.”

Why You Should Have Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned

Are you a homeowner or business owner who’s weighing the difference between cleaning your carpets yourself and hiring a pro to handle the task? Here are some important reasons why you should contract a professional for carpet cleaning services near Littleton. Longevity Like most things, the better maintained your carpet is, the longer it will last. If you consider your carpet as an investment just like any other aesthetic feature of your home or business (furniture, windows, roofing etc.), meant to enhance the appeal of your surroundings, then it make sense to invest in professional carpet cleaning services. It might be quicker and cheaper for you to vacuum your carpet yourself, but in the long run a professional carpet-cleaning keeps your carpet looking better and ensures it won’t require replacing for a long time. Appealing to the Eye Everyone likes to feel good about their living area or workspace, and part of this is the pride that comes with knowing other people like the way your home or office looks. A clean, welcoming appearance adds to the comfort level of friends, family, clients, and business associates, and it’s this type of appearance that a professional carpet cleaning provides. Stains, spots, and discolorations are easier for a pro to remove than someone using ordinary household products, and the result is carpet that always looks great. Health Benefits If you’re an allergy sufferer or someone with breathing issues, being in the presence of a dirty carpet will exacerbate these problems. Self-cleaning a carpet can make some headway towards cleaner, healthier air quality in your home or office, but one drawback is that sometimes an ordinary vacuum will churn up the dirt and release it into the air. Rather than settle for half-measures, rely on a professional carpet cleaner in Littleton that can clean and sanitize your carpet, as well as ensure that any and all irritants are removed from the carpet and the air. Preventative Measure Over time, a carpet (especially one that sees heavy foot traffic) can become a breeding ground for dust mites, mold, and other allergens. These detriments can find their way deep into a carpet’s fibers and, let untreated, will begin causing the health issues mentioned above. A standard vacuum and cleaning supplies aren’t enough to snuff these problems out. However, having your carpets professionally cleaned acts as a preventative measure that cleans your carpet from surface to pile, thus prohibiting allergens from establishing themselves in the first place. Fresh Smell As much as you might ask people to wipe/take off their shoes before stepping onto your carpet, the reality is that footwear will inevitably introduce a variety of outdoor smells that aren’t always pleasant. Couple this with in-home/office contributors – spills, crumbs, etc. – and you have a recipe for a carpet that may not offer the nicest of scents. The good news is, professional carpet cleaners use special solutions and chemicals that will remove these odors and keep your carpet always smelling fresh. Along with professional carpet cleaning, A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning offers several other expert services, ranging from carpet repair and spot removal to upholstery cleaning and bedbug eradication. Contact us today for a quote and our latest service specials. Remember at A Personal Touch, “We don’t cut corners, we clean them.”

Should You Clean Your Carpet before Stretching?

When the subject turns to carpet stretching and carpet repair in Littleton, few companies have as much experience as A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning. Carpet stretching is something we’re adept at, and clients often ask if they should clean their carpet before stretching. Here are some thoughts to consider. To clean or not to clean (before stretching) An oft-repeated opinion touted by homeowners and more than a few carpet retailers is that a carpet is best cleaned before stretching. The thinking is that once a carpet has been stretched, cleaning it will “undo” some of the stretching and cause wrinkles dents, and folds to reappear. However, this is incorrect. It’s better to clean a carpet after stretching. Here’s why: Cleaning loose carpet is tough Many of us have tried vacuuming a rug: in the bathroom, by the front door, or in the mudroom. The operative word is “tried”, because vacuuming a rug is hard. It’s loose and unattached, and it almost always bunches up when a vacuuming is attempted. The same is true for carpet: the looser the carpet, the harder it is to clean. Folds and ripples in carpet can pose a frustrating challenge to even the best vacuums. The same is true if you want to clean your carpet with water and attempt to first dispense and then suction up moisture with a cleaner’s wand. The water finds its way into the carpet’s imperfections, and oft times it’s virtually impossible to dry before it seeps into the carpet and pad. And when this happens, you have a bigger problem on your hands than just a dirty carpet. Thankfully, none of these problems exist with a good, tight carpet that’s fold/wrinkle-free and can be easily vacuumed. Post-stretch de-wrinkling It’s not uncommon for carpet wrinkles to appear and then be ignored for a while.  Either the wrinkles are in an out-of-the-way place like a basement or a guest bedroom, or they’re simply forgotten about due to other, more pressing daily matters. Maybe you thought once or twice about remedying those wrinkles, but didn’t want to spend the money. Whatever the case, wrinkles left unattended will eventually create visible lines – the kind that are clear as day when the carpet is finally stretched. Removing these lines is a tall order, and one that can’t be accomplished without first stretching and then cleaning the carpet. Wrinkle-lines won’t go disappear if you try to clean them when the carpet is loose, but they will vanish if they’re cleaned by an experienced carpet cleaner after the carpet is stretched. There’s no doubt in the minds of the professionals at A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning: the best approach is to clean your carpet after it’s been stretched. Not only does this approach save time and money (not to mention aggravation) since the carpet is good and taut, it also allows you to rid your carpet of unsightly lines created by unattended wrinkles when the carpet was loose.
