THIS MONTH'S TRIVIA QUESTION: WHO SAID, "All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them" ? See below for the answer!
Trivia answer: Erma Bombeck |
Do-It-Yourself Carpet-Cleaning Ideally, your carpet should be professionally cleaned. We at ACE recognize that many people alternate between cleaning the carpet themselves and hiring a professional. There are three common ways do-it-yourselfers (and inexperienced "pros") damage carpets:
Over-shampooing occurs when either too much shampoo is used or the carpet is not thoroughly rinsed. Over time, the build-up of soapy residue can be impossible to clean out, leaving a carpet that is a dirt magnet. Over-wetting occurs when too much water soaks into the bottom of the carpet. When this happens, some carpets will shrink and tear themselves up from the floor. If the backing and pad gets really soaked, it is very difficult to dry them and you risk mold and mildew hazards. Stains caused by furniture coming into contact with wet carpeting is another common problem. Many kinds of wood furniture will release some of the dyes in their stain if left in contact with a wet surface. Also metal can rust, leaving a rust stain in the carpet. Don't hesitate to call ACE if you have any problems after cleaning your carpet yourself! We are happy to offer suggestions to help you out! |
