3B’s Carpet Cleaning and Floor Care Service has had many customers tell us they have not had their carpets cleaned in 3 years or more because they have relied on myths and misconceptions. The fact is that carpet cleaning extends the life of your carpet and saves you a lot of money required to replace prematurely worn carpet.  Carpets cleaned on a regular basis provide a healthy and safe living environment for you and your family, and at the same time adding years of life to one of the biggest investments in your Home or Business. So the question is, how often should they be cleaned?  The answer can depend on several factors.

     Even though vacuuming can remove most of the dry soil, it is also necessary to have Deep Carpet Cleaning done on your carpet on a regular basis to remove deep embedded soil, pollutants and other debris that will wear your carpet’s fibers. When cleaned regularly, it is much easier to remove this material and saves you money on extra strength cleaners when you wait too long to clean. If you are noticing soil and dark areas on your carpet; it is very dirty and you should have it cleaned soon. Your cleaning interval will vary and  how often you clean your carpet will depend on a number of different factors. You must consider how many people are in your Home or Business, if you have kids or pets, whether or not smokers are present, and for Businesses; the volume of Traffic. For example, if you have a house with two adults and kids, you should clean your carpet every 6 months for traffic areas and 12 months for all of the carpet. If there are smokers, you should clean it every 4 to 6 months. If you have pets in your home, you should clean it at least every 3 to 4 months. Businesses should be cleaned a minimum of 6 months in the Traffic areas and 12 months for all of the carpet. The above numbers are just a general guideline. They are based on average environmental and living conditions.

  Your cleaning interval will also depend on your Household or Business conditions and the Environment where you are located. Also, if you have new carpet, you may want to follow the Warranty Guidelines for Cleaning, which are every 6 months in the Traffic Areas and every 12 months for the all of the carpet depending on the length of the Warranty which can be 5,10,15, and 20 years and the Grade of Carpet you purchased. This is important,  because this is one of the items to meet in order for the Warranty to be honored by the Carpet Manufacturer.The longer you wait to clean, the more potential damage you do to your carpets and rugs, so make your appointment today by visiting 3bscarpetcare.com

There is not much a carpet cleaning care expert can do with traffic lane gray. A carpet can only clean as well as its age and it may not clean as well as you had hoped it would. The best way to try and remedy this problem per the Carpet Manufactures Warranty Guide  is to vacuum these traffic areas on a daily basis. You can also rearrange your furniture or add area rugs, be sure to add a rug barrier under the rug in order to prevent any discoloration of the carpet that is underneath.

3B’s always advises that you give prompt attention to spots and spills for best results or call us at 951-698-6458 if you are not sure what to use. Use a spoon or knife to remove solid materials and always blot up liquid spills with a white towel. Never rub, scrub or use a stiff brush, this can cause damage to the carpet fibers, but you can use a soft brush, like a toothbrushe’s texture in order to work the solution between the fibers. ALWAYS use a cleaning agent and a procedure that is appropriate for the type of stain to be removed. If you don’t, you could void the Manufacturers Warranty on your carpet. Most spot removers sold at the store are not approved by the Carpet Manufacturers, the only one I am currently aware of that is approved, is called Folex which is citrus based. One of the BEST SPOT REMOVERS that is on the approval list for  COMMON FOOD and BEVERAGE SUBSTANCES is WHITE VINEGAR and WATER mixed equal parts which you should prepare in a spray bottle and have ready in a CARRYING CADDY with a Soft Bristle Brush and some White Towels. White Vinegar is a solution of  5 percent acetic acid and can change the color of some dyes, so it should always be tested first in a hidden area with a White Towel and make sure there is no carpet color on it or any discoloration in the area you cleaned. White Vinegar can be bought by the gallon at any Grocery Store and can also be used for other cleaning purposes; this will cost you less money then buying Spot Removers.

Also,  be sure to apply all cleaning agents to a cloth rather then directly to the spotted area to avoid saturating the carpet when spot cleaning, you can use a soft brush on the stains that are dried on the fibers though. Clean the fibers, not the backing of the carpet. Do not rush, Deep stains might require repeat cleanings because they can “WICK“ back up after an initial cleaning. If this occurs, be sure to clean the area again and set a towel over the area and weigh it down with a heavy, colorfast object such as a plastic waste basket with a weight inside. Continue to change the towel until the towel shows there is no more of the stain coming onto the towel. Be sure to always work your stains from the outside to the center, this will help prevent the stained area from spreading.

For OIL BASED STAINS on Carpet and Upholstery it is required to use a DRY CLEANING SOLVENT for effective stain removal. Solvents such as Carbona or Energine can be found in most hardware and grocery stores. Another good product is called Krud Kutter which is Biodegradable and Non-Toxic, this can be found at Home Depot or Lowes. Add one of these items to your CARRYING CADDY also.
