Bargain Rugs To Run From: Viscose Rugs!

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

Everyday, I visit with new and repeat clients in their homes to discuss their cleaning needs. Often I am asked about cleaning oriental and persian area rugs oregon. Rug cleaning requires special skills and vast cleaning knowledge of a professional to be performed safely. Not everyone can afford the expensive rugs that can cost as  much as a nice mid-size car and that is fine. There are some retailers that offer reasonably priced rugs that look wonderful and if taken care of properly will last a long time.

Some of the discount rugs are cheaper than the expensive rugs, but please be aware that they can have issues with cleaning and lasting. Before purchasing a rug you should make sure it will last and can be cleaned from time to time. Here is a article, written by Lisa Wagner, on one of the types of Rugs To Run From: Viscose Rugs!

I hope this information provides a little incite into choosing a great oriental or persian area rug. Talk to you soon…Sean

Get Rid of Dust Bunnies For Good: Top Rated Vacuum Cleaners

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

More destructive to carpet than spills is soil! Yes, it’s true. The soil in the carpet causes the carpet fiber to distort (change shape) and cause what looks like wear. Spills are usually not that much of a concern for a professional carpet cleaner, since most can be removed making your carpets look like new again.

The real problem is the soil left in the carpet that acts like sandpaper damaging the face yarns of the carpet fibers. Everyday, in my Portland Carpet Cleaning business I see carpet that if it was regularly maintained through vacuuming and cleaning it would stay looking like new. It is sad :( to see some carpet that with a little maintenance would have still looked great but now looks older than it should. I can get out all of the soil and fluff up the carpets, but the distorted fibers get to stay.

One of the best ways to maintain indoor air quality and keep healthy happy carpets is to provide regularly scheduled vacuuming and carpet cleaning. Here is a great article written by Veronica Harley to help Get Rid of Dust Bunnies For Good: Top Rated Vacuum Cleaners
