Would you drive your car for 100,000 miles without chang-ing the oil? Of course you would not. To keep your en-gine in good working order, you change the oil and do a tune up once and a while, right? Your automobile is a significant pur-chase and you want to maintain that invest-ment. Your carpet is the same way. In fact, your flooring in gen-eral represents a sig-nificant investment and needs to be main-tained properly. What are the warranty re-quirements? How of-ten should carpet be cleaned? What are some of the things you should avoid?

5 Easy Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Carpet!

1. Check the Warranty. Copies of specific warranties on your carpet purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Stain resist warranties can vary from 5 to 20 years. All stain resistant warrantees require regular cleaning and immediate spot removal. 2. Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum! It is said that the three most important rules for main-taining carpet are vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Vacuum your carpet often. Once or twice a week at least. Vacuuming removes the sharp soil and sand that can cut and slice the fiber causing premature wear. Much of this soil is not visible to the eye. Remove any loose particles such as loose food, beverage spills etc. as these items can cause a stains. 3. Have Your Carpet Professionally Cleaned. Speed Clean is a Professional, certified firm that recommends your carpets to be cleaned at least every 12 months according to 3M and major carpet manufacturers. Manufacturer’s warranties require professional cleaning at least every 11-18 months to retain texture retention warranties. 4. Remove Spots Immediately Spots that are not immediately removed can turn into permanent stains very easily. Always use a spot cleaner that is recommended by the carpet manufacturer or call Speed Clean to professionally remove the stains! Many “over the counter” spotters leave too much soap residue that leaves a sticky residue behind that will make your spots return! 5. Have Carpet Protector Re-Applied The soil resistor that is built into stain resistant nylon carpet is removed with regular foot traffic and harsh cleaners. To keep your carpet cleaner longer, have your protector reapplied each time you have your carpet profession-ally cleaned. Speed Clean is a licensed 3M scotchgard applicator for carpets & furniture.

HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CARPET & Extend the life expectancy

IS YOUR UPHOLSTERY REALLY CLEAN? If you want to find out how much soil is actually on your upholstery that “looks” clean, simply take a white terry cloth towel and put it over the end of your vacuum attachment hose. Turn the vacuum on (be sure that you don’t let the vacuum suck up the towel). Put the vac-uum hose with the terry

cloth on the cushion for 30 seconds, if you have a round dark spot (which is embedded soil) in the towel. Get your upholstery cleaned today! Take the Test! Speed Clean removes all body oils, dry skin, grease, hair and overall soil.

When your pet has an accident (urine) it is best to clean up right away using a cotton towel or paper towels. Fold the towels thick and apply pressure to absorb the spot. Next rinse out the spot with vinegar and water mixed 50/50 spray and blot. This time of year people are starting to notice a urine smell from the room, this is because the pet has gone on the carpet over the winter and as the outside temperature and humidity increases the smell becomes more noticeable. In an untreated spot as the urine dries it can start to migrate into the carpet pad-ding and in some cases into the subfloor. Speed Clean Carpet Cleaning has a few differ-ent techniques for getting into your carpet pad-ding and subfloor. Call us to schedule a free in home estimate for your home at (586) 791-1500 today!

To prevent secondary damage to sub flooring. Speed Clean Service recommends pad re-moval in all affected areas. This is the abso-lute best way to get rid of the urine odor. We steam clean both sides of the carpet, dry, de-odorize and install new pad in the affected ar-eas, then put the carpet back down in place.

Quick Cleaning of Your

Microwave The thought of cleaning the microwave makes your hair stand up. But we have a quick painless solution. Put a coffee cup of water with a splash of lemon juice into my microwave and set it to boil (most microwaves have a setting for "boil" or "hot beverage"). Once it's done, let it sit in the microwave for 5 minutes so the steam can absorb into the dried and cooked food on the interior. Carefully remove the cup of hot liquid and wipe out the interior with ease. The steam will have softened all of that grime making your cleaning task an absolute dream.

How To Remove Carpet

Indentations When rearranging your furni-ture, those unsightly furniture indentations really stand out, therefore depending on age and type of carpet, you can mist the indentations, then over a cloth (so you don't melt car-peting) use a steam iron to ap-ply steam. Brush the indenta-tion to see if you can raise it. Repeat several times because it sometimes takes more than one try to make this work.
