Zero Residue Carpet Cleaning San Diego October 17th, 2008

Today more & more people are becoming aware of the effects of a chemical laden environment and especially in their homes. Our homes are our refuge so why wouldn’t we want that sanctuary protected.  It is a fact that today more & more people & especially children are developing respiratory illnesses or sensitivities.

My own awareness is heightened because I work with various carpet cleaners on a daily basis and am subject to a much more concentrated level than my clients are. That is my reason for ensuring that only the safest items are carried on the truck and brought into the home – to protect myself. If I have myself covered then I know I have you the consumer covered.

We have improved our carpet cleaning technique by using high flow, flush & rinse tools & equipment to provide a much deeper carpet & upholstery cleaning.  It is true that today we use a much higher volume of water than before to achieve our complete deep cleaning process but what we have gained is true hygiene. For the sake of a few more gallons of water isn’t it worth it for our health?

Unlike many, we do not run a detergent, soaps, or an emulsifier through our fresh water system but rather soft water. We apply a mild cleaning solution to your carpet before we steam clean that can also be our Green or Organic  soap free natural product at your request. This small amount of cleaning solution breaks down the greasy, sticky soils & helps suspend soils until we Truck Mount Steam Clean the carpet to extract the soils, particulates, dust mites & bacteria. The high flow flush & rinse system does an extreme thorough rinse of your carpet fibers leaving them almost dry and soft instead of crunchy. Our extreme high heat system delivers the super heated water directly onto the carpet rather than letting the heat escape into the air. We deliver at least 220-240 directly onto your carpet which kills many things such as bacteria, dust mites & fleas. The higher the heat the quicker the water evaporates which means faster dry times.

The typical complaints from rapid carpet re-soiling to the crunchy effect comes from the lack of chemical & soap residue removal either from the type of carpet cleaning method used or the use of soaps & chemicals in the rinse tank. You get this service traditionally from your cheap guy carpet cleaning service where cleaning speed makes up for dollar loss, many use floor buffers to dry clean your carpets which do nothing but buff into the carpet their chemical & your dirt. Very little soil gets recovered but you get a free load of chemical residue, some even claim it is 100% carbonated water but have you asked for the MSDS sheet to verify this?

There are many great Carpet Cleaners that have your Health at the top of their priority list. Let’s face it, leaving behind an unhealthy carpet will create a negetive effect for both of us. Getting you on our client list is the way we operate, keeping ourselves healthy and happy is the only way to do it. There is no way that I would ever clean your homes carpet with a floor buffer alone or run my chemical cleaners through my rinse to get it clean just to save a little time! Sure, the temporary smoke & mirror effect will make it look good but not for long.

Residue Free Cleaning is a technique that we use for a Healthier Carpet Cleaning experience at Miracle Services, Inc.

Pet Odor & Pet Urine October 9th, 2008

PhotobucketPhotobucket

Cat Urine, Dog Urine, and I have even had Pig Urine jobs, are all very problematic. Pets are great and even I have succumbed into having dogs in my home and have learned how to deal with it.

Cat urine is the worst to deal with & I know that the removal of the odor completely is impossible regardless of whether you have gone through all the extreme measures to remedy the situations short of carpet & pad replacement. I have done everything possible to remedy cat urine problems in the past but I have never seen a miracle. I have seen such cases where the owner replaced carpets, pads, seal floors, seal walls with new paint & clean ventilation system. The smell was still obvious until the ventilation system was sealed with a phenolic sealer.

Dog urine problems have been better to deal with. With any urine problem it is all about what the pet eats & for those reason dog urine is not so traumatic as cats. As a carpet cleaner I am no longer a cat lover.

San Diego Carpet Cleaners deal with pet urine on a daily basis with almost every home we clean. Some even guarantee the removal of the odor & the urine. I used to do that but I have learned that it is impossible and that every situation is different because some home owners clean up the problem ASAP & some don’t. I never make it a point to own your problem but do my best to cure your problem.

Just cleaning the carpet will not remedy anything until the pad is addressed! The carpet pad is a sponge, it is where all those spills went to. The really large spills or urine deposits pass through the pad to the sub floor and spread out along the sub floor or absorb if it is a wood sub floor. Crystallized, gewey spills just hang out down there until temperature changes occur between the sub floor & the area above the carpet, moisture developes & a wicking process occurs. This is why the spots reappear after you clean it, this is why carpet cleaners get a bad name because the spill spots come back a few months later.

Miracle Services Carpet Cleaning & Floor Care takes a different plan of action on these areas by doing sub surface flush & rinse of spills & pet stains. We try to flush out the total spill by saturation, cleaning & true deodorization. Then we get those areas Flash Dried with our special carpet Rapid Speed Dry system.

We are Truck Mounted Carpet Steam Cleaning, there is no way that urine or odors can be removed by Carpet Dry Cleaning processes! It requires serious flush & rinse with powerful carpet cleaning extraction.

There are two types of carpet that are normally used for the residence and that is Nylon & Polyester. Nylon is the best & polyester is the inferior but nylon likes to stain. Urine if not neutralized will turn from an acidic state to an alkaline state and will start to burn the carpet fibers leaving you with a brown burn stain. Polyester is more forgiving in this regard!

We have certain chemicals to reduce these stains & hopefully remove them but sometimes may require an insert to remove the eye sore.

The total removal of odor will require the removal of all effected areas of the pad, cleaning & sealing of the sub floor. The carpet backing needs to be cleaned & then the carpet. Even after these extreme measures I have seen the odor still present but in a much lesser amount.

Our common sense approach is to remove the urine, saturate with special odorcides & deodorizers to reduce the problem for you. I then sell a follow-up treatment for you to continually apply to the areas the pet lies or happens to urinate. I will even recommend that you purchase an Austin Air cleaning machine from me: http://www.austinair.com/, these are great at removing odors from the home trust me.

We use some of the best pet odorcide in the industry and you will find that at only $12.00 per room it is a great deal. I always recommend that you buy a bottle of it from me to do your own follow ups. One 16 oz. of concentrate makes up to 32 gallons of odorcide.
