Each day shoppers are attracted by cleaning company specials. Usually, they find themselves victims of bait-and-switch advertising. Often these advertised specials have specific conditions, either written or not stated at all. Bait-and-switch strategies are frequent in many industries, commonly with the carpet cleaning industry. Being cheated leaves the carpet cleaning industry with a negative impression. Not all carpet cleaning companies are evil. There are a lot of great ones out there that do a great job.

The Right Way to Prevent Stains to Tile Floors as a Dog Owner

Having a dog has many responsibilities. However, looking after for your pet also includes preventing damage to your home and your possessions. Tiled floors will surely take a beating, so it is essential to protect your grout from stains. We suggest that grout cleaning should be left to the pros. The experts at Nu-Life Cleaning Services will bring your tile and grout back to life with our exclusive cleaning technology. Cleaning grout yourself, just won’t work effectively Dog and cat urine can be left on the floor for several hours if you are not home.

How often should I clean my Oriental Rug.

You might be tempted to tackle area rug cleaning yourself. Oriental rugs need an approach that is both gentle and productive. A professional rug cleaner understands how to handle fine Oriental rug fibers. People who attempt cleaning the rugs themselves frequently scrub too hard, use the incorrect cleaning solution or utensils. We recommend vacuuming Oriental rugs frequently is the best way to keep them looking fabulous and extend the life of the rugs. The majority of the rug soil is dry particulates that act as sandpaper and cause wear to rugs. I suggest that all pet accidents and spills be addressed instantly. Try to get as much of the stain as possible by blotting with a clean white cloth or paper towel. Apply a solution of equal parts of vinegar and water and blot again. We recommend not to use over the counter spot removers because they are too extreme and may contain bleach. Plus those spot removers can easily leave a soapy residue that causes quick soiling when applied direct...
