Keeping interior household carpeting in optimal condition is one of the best things that homeowners can do if they are trying to retain property values. Stained and ragged carpets can turn an otherwise lovely home into an eyesore, and stains in particular seem to stand out in a negative way when viewed by potential buyers. Even if you are not planning on selling your home, unsightly carpet stains negatively impact your quality of life. Nobody enjoys waking up in the morning and trying to savor their first cup of coffee while sitting in a room that features stained, smelly carpets. Entertaining is almost impossible in homes where the carpets are significantly stained.

Unfortunately, carpet stain removal products sold in grocery stores benefit only the companies that manufacture them and the retailers that carry them on their shelves. They certainly aren’t effective at removing carpet stains and frequently only make matters worse. Some carpets can even be irreparably damaged by using these products due to the large amounts of harsh chemicals that they contain. If you want to keep your household carpeting in top shape, you should use the professional services of Fresh & Green Carpet Cleaning when it comes to processes such as stain removal.

Carpeting that is installed in homes where active families live are most likely going to get at least a few stains during the course of the years. However, that doesn’t mean that the stains can’t be removed using the correct techniques. Even red wine and tomato based pasta sauce stains can be removed by our expert stain removal specialist at Fresh & Green because we are aware of the best stain removal methods. It’s important however to call the us as soon as possible after the stain occurs because waiting too long will give the stain time to set. Nonetheless, modern techniques we employ can easily remove most stains from any type of carpet.

Every animal has an accident now or then. While it often seems like an easy cleanup, over time strong odors develop which seem almost impossible to get rid of. This occurs because the produced waste penetrates the carpet, finding its way into the underlying foam and flooring. Our company wants to help you rid your house of that smell.

Many products on the market today may claim that simply shaking them over the stained area, then vacuuming it up will eliminate these smells. That may be true at first, but shortly after, the smell usually returns. People often turn to renting steam cleaners as well to rid the soiled area of smell. These devices seem effective at first, but people generally do not operate them properly, causing more damage to the original area. The best way to return your house to smelling the way it should is to hire our team of professionals.

Fresh & Green Carpet Cleaning uses the most up to date and effective equipment to properly clean up after your pet accidents. Whether the job is a small throw rug, or an entire carpeted area, there is no job our professionals can’t handle.

Recent advancements in steam cleaning have made it possible to clean your rug to a point where it almost looks brand new. Our professionals know how to properly use these cleaners, and clean the area without causing further damage.

It is our goal to remove the odor for good from your carpet, not to simply control it for the time being and let the smell develop again over time. We also offer our customers a 100% guarantee on our sub-surface extraction pet odor removal decontamination package.

Stop wasting time with products found in the local supermarket, and rid your carpet of that awful smell once and for all. Hire Fresh & Green Carpet Cleaning today, and return your house to smelling like home!

Tile and grout repair is one of the most common issues that home owners around the world run into. Unfortunately, it is the type of repair that could be very expensive if it is not taken care of in a timely matter. But luckily, there are ways around such expensive repairs, especially if you are looking to save money in the long run.

HOW IT HAPPENS?
Though there can be a lot of different causes, one of the most common causes is the penetration of water. When grout fails, water can seep in behind the tile, resulting in the accelerated growth of mold. From this mold, the backing of the tile will begin to fail and from there, the tile will eventually come loose and crack apart.

WHY IT IS BAD?
What makes this type of tile issue terrible is the fact that if the mold growth gets very bad, there is no way to repair it except to demolish the entire tile area and redo everything from scratch. This is exactly where the expensive repairs can come into play and it also what you want to avoid the most.

HOW TO PREVENT IT?
If you are looking to prevent these types of repairs, you really need to make sure that you act as quickly as possible. Once you see the signs of tile and grout failure, you must contact your cleaning and repair service immediately. Mold is a bacteria that can grow very quickly if you do not react as soon as possible.

HOW TO REPAIR IT?
Our trained professionals will clean the grout, repair any broken tiles, and reseal the areas that need it the most. This is what will ultimately save you time and money. Our trained professionals will help you restore your kitchen or bathroom to its original glory, assisting you in preventing these types of issues in the future.

Furniture fabric protection extends the life of all of the fabrics in your home by preventing wear and other damage. Contrary to what many people think, it isn’t just for the upholstered furniture. Draperies and carpets also benefit from the same protective treatment.

You’re probably familiar with Murphy’s Law. The longer you wait to protect your valuable furnishings, the greater the chance that something will happen to lessen the value of those assets. You have a lot invested in your home. Even if you bought items on sale or they were received as gifts, the replacement value would likely give you sticker shock.

Years ago, upholstered furniture was protected with uncomfortable plastic covers. Homes aren’t museums; they’re meant to be lived in. Kids, pets and adults all contribute to the natural wear and tear within the house. Comfort doesn’t have to be sacrificed to establish an adequate level of protection from the routines of ordinary daily living.

Today, fabric protection begins by applying special sealants directly onto the fabrics. This sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? However, the average person doesn’t know that each product is appropriate for safe and effective use on particular fibers. Using the wrong product can be a very costly mistake because it can result in permanent damage.

Beyond knowing which product to use for each fabric, our professionals know how to properly apply them. Improper application can cause permanent changes in a fabric’s texture and appearance. They also know that the sealant doesn’t last forever. Routine touch-ups are required to assure continued, maximum protection.

Fabrics must be completely clean before the furniture fabric protection can be applied. The practical approach is to request that all of the upholstery be cleaned at the same time as the cleaning of the carpets and drapes. Everything can then be given protective treatment during the same appointment. It’s all in a typical day’s work for our carpet professionals.

It’s hard to understand how some people draw a line when it comes to upholstery cleaning. They clean the drapes and the carpets but leave the dirt and dust mites in their furniture. They don’t seem to realize that their home isn’t really clean unless the upholstery has been thoroughly cleaned, too.

Dirt settles into the upholstery fibers and makes a comfortable home for tens of thousands of dust mites. Viruses and bacteria can live deep inside the textile fibers, surviving for more than a month. In fact, your upholstery might be as bacteria-ridden as the garbage can before it’s cleaned.

When you consider the fact that everyone sheds more than one million skin flakes every hour, you know that some are falling onto and into your upholstery. Thousands of mites are fed by those flakes. Fleas and bed bugs also make themselves at home in the fibers, behind cushions and inside the crevices of the seams.

Environmental pollutants make their way indoors and settle on everything inside your home. Allergens become trapped inside the weave of materials and contaminate the air that’s breathed by every member of your family. Incomplete or improper cleaning can cause allergies to worsen. Yes, dirty upholstery can make you physically ill.

Cigarette smoke contains carcinogens that build up on every household surface. It isn’t enough to clean the window treatments and the carpets. It’s highly recommended that all household upholstery be professionally cleaned a minimum of once per year. It should never be excluded from a thorough cleaning job.

It’s practical to rely on Fresh & Green Carpet Cleaning to clean your carpets, draperies, and your upholstery too. If the cleaning has already been done and the upholstery wasn’t included, it’s never too late. Call for another appointment so we can complete the cleaning of your home. After the upholstery cleaning, you’ll know that you have a really clean home.

Many homeowners purchase over-the-counter cleaning products such as carpet freshening powder from the aisles of their local supermarket instead of using the services of a professional steam cleaning company. Although this may seem inexpensive and convenient, this practice actually has the potential to damage household carpets as well as negatively impact the health of those living in the home. Children in particular are vulnerable to suffering the effects of exposure to the heavy perfumes and chemicals that are used in most noncommercial home cleaning products.

Carpet freshening powders and other cleaning supplies that can be purchased in the aisles of a supermarket generally contain significant amounts of harsh chemicals and perfumes. The perfumes are designed to mask odors rather than to actually remove their source. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, gets straight to the cause of offending odors and removes them from the fibers of the carpet instead of just trying to cover them up. Children who are playing on household carpets that have been professionally steam cleaned are far less likely to develop skin and respiratory issues due to exposure to strong chemicals. Chemical residue also builds up over time on carpets that are routinely cleaned with products containing these elements, while steam cleaning leaves no residue whatsoever behind.

Even if you have no immediate plans to put your current home on the market, maintaining your carpets by steam cleaning them on a regular basis will help to retain the value of your property. Nothing turns off potential purchasers faster than carpets that are stained, smelly, worn down and discolored, and because replacing carpeting can be expensive, it’s in your best financial interests to take measures to help them keep their good looks for as long as possible. Your own enjoyment of your household environment will also be greatly enhanced if you ensure that your carpets are properly cared for.
