Selecting a carpet cleaning company isn’t easy.  There are over 60 carpet cleaning companies in the Pensacola surrounding area.  Many of them are part-time business owners who operate out of their car.  The real delima is finding the right cleaning company.

Here are 4 tips to choosing the right company.

1.  Do they have good references?  Check with the better business bureau or call the company directly for references.

2.  Are they well educated in their field?  Consider hiring a company certified by the IICRC or the institute of inspection cleaning and restoration certification.  Without proper training, your cleaning job could end in disaster.

3.  Do they have insurance?  Beleive it or not, 80% of the cleaning companies in Pensacola DO NOT have workman’s compensation or liability insurance.  If something goes wrong in your home or business, YOU could held liable or responsible to fix their mistakes.

4.  Do they have a strong guarantee?  Only hire a company with a 100% guarantee.  If any spots return after cleaning, you want to make sure they’ll come back to your home at no charge.

If you follow all these tips you’ll have a lot better chance in succeeding at hiring a professional cleaning company.

Below is a video that gives you more information about how to hire a Pensacola area carpet cleaning company.

These near misses are what hurts our business.  Everyone waits to get their carpet and tile cleaned while they sit with baited breath watching the hurricane in the Gulf.  They’re more worried about if their home is going to be okay.  Their floors are the least of their concern.

So what will happen is, as soon as hurricane season is over, we’ll get trampled with calls.  So if you’ve been thinking about book an appointment, CALL NOW.  Very soon we’ll be booked up for two weeks solid.

Once water gets to the studs, it soaks in.  Air drying the studs would take months–and even then they may not be dry.

Get a professional moisture evaluation of your home before rebuilding.  We will measure the moisture amounts in your walls and tell you if they are at a safe level. 

After Hurricane Ivan, we saw many homes that failed to do this.  Some had mold and wood rot inside their walls within weeks.

What YOU Must Do:
4 Steps YOU Must Take

1.  Don’t panic. You’ve already made the right first move by calling a professional.
2.  Make sure the source of the water is stopped and problem fixed.
3.  Remove anything that will be effected by moisture.
4.  Make a list of damaged items to turn in to your adjuster.

Please note: If you call a professional immediately, the possibility for further damage is minimized. Most homeowner insurance policies encourage the homeowner to call a professional to prevent further damage.

So again, that backs up my theory that we have nothing to worry about.

I just hope that I’m not egging Gustav on by blogging about this.  Hurricanes are a force to be reckoned with.

Statistically speaking, we shouldn’t be having another hurricane hit Pensacola for another few decades.  There are lots of cities up and down the gulf coast that are due.

Of course, I could be wrong.  A couple of years ago I would have sworn there was a trail blazed through the gulf of mexico that told hurricanes “Hit Pensacola and win 500 extra points.”

But that’s not the case any more.  Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Nonetheless, we should be ready.  Go ahead and get the extra batteries, flashlights, gasoline…..

It seems the people in Pensacola are more concerned about gasoline than any other supply.  You go to the stores and there’s plenty of water and batteries.  But several gas stations are already getting sold out of gas.  Americans can’t live without there gas.

So do what you need to prepare.  But I’m hoping for the best.

Okay, for native Pensacolans, a tropical storm really isn’t a big deal.  Sure it will bring lots of rain and some winds.  And it may even spawn a few small tornados.  Actually, now that I think about it, I had a roof blow off in a rental home I own during one of our last tropical storms when a tornado spawned.  So, maybe it can be a big deal.

Don’t freak out.  Tropical storms aren’t usually that bad.

The main thing you need to be concerned about is the rain.  Rain can leak in your roof or rise into your home.  If it does, we’re here for you.

We offer full scale water damage restoration.  We can try out any water problem you have in your home.  Call us right away at 474-1133

We’ll perform a moisture inspection and show you exactly where the moisture exists inside your walls and ceiling.  Then, we’ll dry your home or office out to prevent mold growth.

If you don’t take a tropical storm seriously, at least take the threat of rain seriously.

Sincerely,

John Braun

I’ll give you the basics on both. 

NEVER use this on carpet or rugs… 

First, chlorine bleach products should NEVER be used on carpet or rugs.  This is one of the chemicals that’s not only harmful to the fiber, but also harmful to the person applying the chemical.  Bleach is much more harmful than most people think. Did you know some cleaning agents could actually cause a stain to be permanent?  For instance, some high PH spot removers can cause a pet stain to permanently set into a fiber? 

To make sure you’re applying the right cleaning agent, use a neutral PH spotter.  Or, choose a spot removal agent designed specifically to treat pet stains. Many types of carpet cleaning shampoo can leave a sticky, soil-attracting residue in the fiber.  In particular, the types of shampoo that foam up and are scrubbed into the fiber are the worst culprits.  These cleaning agents are often laced with “optical brighteners” to temporarily make the fibers look better.  But in the long run, they ruin the fibers.  And even worse, the soil that accumulates isn’t good for your indoor environment. Keep the use of solvents to a minimum. 

There are indeed some solvents that may be used to remove oils in extreme soil instances.  These include amyl acetate (in nail polish remover), rubbing alcohol, and odor-less mineral spirits.  But be WARNED!  These solvents should be used at a minimum.  After cleaning, the area should be rinsed with water and extracted. 

Are professional cleaning agents safe? 

Some are.  The most dangerous equation here is typically the technician cleaning your carpet.  If the technician in your home is poorly trained, you could be in for trouble. It is suspected the disease Kawasaki Syndrome has been brought on by improper carpet cleaning methods.  The disease affects small children.  This is suspected to sometimes occur by the use of an excessive amount of high PH cleaning agents followed by very little rinsing of the fibers.  Many cheap portable cleaning machines can’t rinse high PH cleaning agents properly. For your utmost safety, we always clean your carpet with the safest cleaning agents possible. 

After cleaning, we make sure your carpet is left in a PH balanced state.  We use some of the best professional grade equipment available.  In addition, our technicians are FANATICS about rinsing your carpet. Our technicians understand the importance of rinsing and performing extra dry passes to insure your carpet dries quickly.  This is safer for your family and also prevents the possibility of spots returning later

You’ve got your air conditioner cranked at full speed.  It’s the best dehumidifier most homeowners have.  When we come out to clean your carpet, we concentrate on drying it FAST.  Fast drying means a cleaner carpet.

We’ll use a special tool in place of a standard carpet cleaning wand that is designed to remove more moisture from your carpet.  Plus, we perform extra passes over the carpet to remove excess moisture.  When we’re done cleaning, we put a turbo dryer in one room of your choice to get it dry quicker.

Especially with the high humidity in Pensacola, it’s important for us to do these extra steps.  We want to make sure you get the most exhaustively thorough carpet cleaning you can get in Pensacola, Florida.

So give us a call now at 474-1133.  We’d be glad to give you a fast-friendly phone estimate. 

Call now, you’ll be glad you did.
