What About Black Spots?

Do you have black spots on your carpet?

Many times these spots come from previous household spotters, fireplace soot, charcoal, dirt, and more.

A Professional Portland carpet cleaner should be able to remove these spots without much trouble.

The major spots that can be difficult to remove are spots and stains that are red, blue, or yellow. Spots that have these colors should be left to a Professional Portland carpet cleaning company.

If you have any questions please feel free to give Sean's Carpet Care a call or e-mail.

Until next time...Take care...Sean

How to Choose A Carpet Cleaner

In my experience most people seem to think all carpet cleaners offer the same service and techniques to clean their carpet and upholstery.

There is a vast difference between the services carpet cleaners offer, their level of service, education, experience, and others.

Most of the public has been trained to judge carpet cleaners by the price they charge, so when choosing a carpet cleaner they are usually only concerned with asking, "How much do you charge?" As most people know, price is what you pay and value is what you receive. 

At Sean's Carpet Care we have provided Portland-Area homeowners with a guide on How to Choose a Carpet Cleaner. This guide will help homeowners make a more informed decision when hiring a carpet cleaner.

Hope this information is helpful!

The Hot Topic - Hardwood or Carpet?

The decision whether to install hardwood floors or carpet has become popular in today's homes. Some couples decide to have hardwood installed throughout their entire home and others have a mixture of carpet and hardwood through the home.


Hardwood Floors

Hardwood floors have some appealing benefits to the homeowner. Some of the benefits to these types of floors are that most types can be installed by the "do it yourselfer", add value to the home, are easy to tell when dirty, and on and on.

Hardwood floors also have some downsides. Some of the downsides to hardwood floors are that they scratch and damage easily, turn black when exposed to water, cold to the touch, can be slippery, and more.

Carpet

Carpet also provides some great benefits to the home. Some of the benefits are that it is the home's air filter, moisture is not an issue, not slippery, comfortable to the touch, and on and on.

Like every textile, carpet has its downsides. Some of the downsides to carpet is that it needs regular vacuuming, soils easily, requires professional carpet cleaning, and on and on.

The Ring Around Your Carpet

I have great clients and some with fabulous carpets! 

Recently, I have been cleaning some fabulous carpet, such as wool and see dark lines all around the edges of the carpet and under the doors.

What is this you ask? This is called filtration soil. It occurs when the heating filters of the home have not been changed on a regular basis. A dark oily soot is left around the edges of the carpet and under the doors.

Filtration is actually hard to remove and sometimes takes color with it when treated. We are a Portland carpet cleaning company with specialized skills at removing tough filtration stains.

One easy step to improving your indoor air quality and saving your fabulous carpet is to simply change the heating filters.

Until next time....Sean
