			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>(Carpet wicking) </strong></em> is a process where spots re-appear on carpets and rugs. It could be a spilled beverage or just a lot of embedded dirt in the carpet backing or padding.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Hot Water Extraction or &#8216;Steam&#8217; Cleaning:</strong><br />
Portable or truck-mounted equipment is used to spray heated detergent solution into the carpet pile at a high pressure and immediately extracted along with the suspended soil particles. The machine may employ rotary brushes or another agitating device to work the solution into the pile and loosen soil.<br />
Factors that affect the results of this method are:<br />
operator skill<br />
solution temperature<br />
spray pressure<br />
vacuum power<br />
prespray: spraying solution some time before extracting<br />
TIP: Some &#8220;truck-mounted&#8221; units are merely portable units bolted onto the truck. Remember, the most effective machine would be powered by the truck&#8217;s engine or have an engine of its own and not use your residential electric supply.</p>
<p><strong>Shampoo:</strong><br />
In this method, detergent solution is released onto the carpet through openings in a rotary brush, whose rotary action converts the solution into foam and works it into the carpet. Once dry, vacuuming removes the residue containing loose, encapsulated soil. At times, chemicals may be added to the detergent solution to reduce odors, retard soiling, brighten colors and/or speed drying.</p>
<p><strong>Combination of Hot Water Extraction and Shampoo:</strong><br />
As the name implies, this method uses the Hot Water Extraction method and Shampoo. This method is specially effective for cleaning highly soiled carpets, with heavy oil/soil build-up.<br />
The process has two steps::<br />
Shampoo using rotary brush to loosen soil<br />
Hot Water Extraction using water rather than detergent solution to remove shampoo<br />
Some units may combine both steps. It is usually expensive because of added labor costs.</p>
<p>TIP: For residential cleaning, Hot Water Extraction on it&#8217;s own is usually powerful enough to clean most carpets and rugs.</p>
<p><strong>Foams:</strong><br />
This is a variation of &#8216;Shampoo&#8217;. Foam is generally applied onto the carpet, usually from aerosol containers, and rubbed in with a dry sponge. Once dry, the residue containing suspended soil is simple vacuumed away. Since foam uses little water, there is no danger of over wetting and the connected complications. But due to the same reason, this method is not as effective as the &#8220;wetter&#8221; methods!<br />
TIP: Some foams may leave a residue that is difficult to remove and may cause problems with subsequent wet cleaning.</p>
<p><strong>Bonnet Cleaning:</strong><br />
This is another method similar to &#8216;Shampoo&#8217;. Bonnet cleaning employs an absorbent pad (&#8216;bonnet&#8217;) attached to the bottom of a rotary machine. Detergent solution is sprayed onto the carpet ad the rotary pad is used to agitate and remove the soil suspended in the solution from the carpet. Once one side of the pad gets soiled, the sides can be reversed. And when both sides get soiled, the pad can be replaced and later cleaned.<br />
This method is used in the regular maintenance of commercial buildings.</p>
<p><strong>Absorbent Dry Compound:</strong><br />
Dry compound containing detergent/ solvent is sprinkled onto the carpet and worked into the pile using machines. The soil particles get encapsulated in the absorbent dry compound and are removed by vacuuming. Since this method does not use any &#8220;wet&#8221; process, there is no danger of over wetting.</p>
<p><strong>In-Plant Cleaning:</strong><br />
This type of cleaning is ideal for specialized cleaning of loose or valuable rugs. The rugs are sent through a duster which extracts soil more effectively than routine vacuuming. They are then washed and hung to dry in a controlled air environment.<br />
The Firm may also offer special service for repair of valuable rugs, using special equipment.</p>
<p>TIP: In-plant cleaning is more expensive but you can save money by at least delivering and picking up the rugs yourself! And before you entrust your precious oriental rug to a carpet cleaner, check out the firm&#8217;s credentials and reference!</p>
<p>A+ Carpet Cleaning uses a Truck Mounted cleaning system powered by its own individual engine. Call us today for a free in home estimate.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;">Why You Need Your Carpets, Upholstery and Mattresses Professionally</h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Cleaned!</h1>
<div>
<p>Most consumers today only clean their carpets, upholstery and or mattresses because they look dirty! Not because of the germs and pollutants that are in their carpets, upholstery and mattresses. Then they get coupons in the mail or go look for the lowest priced carpet cleaning service.</p>
<p>Well I know with the economy the way it is price is very important. But, there has to be some quality involved. You wouldn’t buy the cheapest car seat to drive your child around town in or purchase the cheapest car on the lot at you local auto dealer. So why would you want to hire the cheapest carpet cleaning company to service your home or office cleaning needs?</p>
<h3>I’ll Tell You Why!</h3>
<p>You don’t understand why you really need your carpets cleaned at least twice a year by a trained professional. Well the first reason and most important reason for cleaning your carpets is the pollutants or “Dust Mites” that are floating around in your indoor air! Yes, I know we all heard the tales of Dust Mites and how we can’t totally rid our indoor environment of them. But this is not totally true! Dust Mites are the number 1 reason for allergies in the world! It all starts in the bedroom. While your sleeping your body is releasing your dead skin cells in your bedding, mattress, and pillows. Dust Mites eat our skin flakes then they go to the bathroom releasing 20 to 100 fecal droppings per day. After about 6 months time these Dust Mites have released around 250 million fecal droppings in your bed and the average bed will contain over 2,000,000 Dust Mites.</p>
<p>Then as we roll around in the bed throughout the night we’re stirring up these fecal droppings, allergens, dead skin cells or what ever you choose to call them because their all proteins and become airborne! When you are making your bed in the morning and you shake your covers or fluff up your pillows you have just released a mass brigade of these proteins (allergens) into your air flow and now your carpets, upholstery &amp; bedding are all contaminated with these allergens. Now I know your saying, ” Oh well I’m not asthmatic so it doesn’t affect me!” Yes, but once again this is not totally true! One social drink won’t affect you either, but several will have you giving your keys to a designated driver! This is the same with Dust Mites. A few hundred thousand may not affect you but 2 or 3 million will!</p>
<p>Combining all of the above facts with current lifestyle changes that have most persons, especially children, indoors 95% of our lives, has led to an alarming increase over the last few decades of respiratory infections, asthma, and allergies. Physicians, health centers, and most of all, pharmaceutical companies have reaped huge monetary benefits from the spike in health costs, prescription drugs and over the counter medications all of which have out-paced population growth. Research by the American College of Asthma, Allergy and Immunology (ACAAI) states that over 50% of all illnesses are caused by or aggravated by, polluted indoor air and specifically, unhygienic mattresses where we spend one-third of our lives. Did you know some health care plans overseas actually pay for mattress cleanings. Now you are probably asking yourself then why will my health plan not pay for this service? The answer is easy, MONEY. If your health care provider pays for this service then you will not have to go to the doctor as much or buy as many prescription drugs to feel healthy. So in other words doctors are not going to prescribe a service that will put you in their office less. You be the judge try it out and see if you don’t feel much better without the use of drugs!</p>
