One necessary activity is cleaning our homes. Sometimes, we rush through it and don’t do the best job possible.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Life happens… but a lack of time doesn’t mean you have to put up with dirt, grime, and clutter. The best solution is to find a cleaning company to handle challenging cleaning issues you face, such as carpet cleaning, furniture cleaning, hard floor care, and more. Professional cleaners understand the proper procedures for disinfecting, as well.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">When looking for a professional cleaning company, whether for regular housecleaning services or specialized cleaning, such as carpet or furniture care, there are a few specific strategies you should implement.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Referrals</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">One of the best ways to find any company to do anything for you is by referrals, such as from family or friends. This process automatically filters prospective companies for you, as referrals are provided to you by those you trust and have similar interests.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">After all, when you enjoy a nice meal at a good restaurant or have a great experience with a service company, what is your natural inclination? You want your friends and family to have the same, great experience. So you tell them about it, and they trust that what you are sharing with them is true.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Ask around. Inquire of your family and friends in your local area who they use for cleaning services and ask for their honest opinions. The information will be invaluable.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Reviews</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Second to referrals are reviews, usually online reviews such as with Google or Yelp. This is a proven way to filter out the good from the bad and find companies that usually treat their customers the way you want to be treated.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Be sure to use companies that have several reviews, over a long period of time. A long track record is best.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Interview them</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Don’t be afraid to get a prospective company on the telephone or have them out to your home and ask questions, such as with any unique guarantees they might offer. Don’t look for the cheapest deal. Look for quality. Discuss with the company owner or manager what they can do for you. Let them know you are seeking out a quality company.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><p><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">All of this takes time, but the end result is you will find the very best cleaning company for your home. After all, it pays to call a pro!</span> </p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Check out our reviews on google, facebook, angie's list, & nextdoor.

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></strong></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">If you have carpet or rugs, you have a vacuum cleaner. A vacuum is absolutely necessary to keep your valuable carpet and rugs clean of particulate or dry soil.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">While vacuuming may seem like a basic housekeeping chore and simple to do, the biggest challenge is getting out the vacuum and actually putting it to use.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Frequency</strong></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">As a carpet cleaner we are often asked "How often should I vacuum?" How often you vacuum depends on the size of your family, and this includes pets. As a general rule, you should vacuum the main areas in your home, such as the living room, hallways, and other high traffic areas, one time each week per occupant. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">For example, if you have four people and one dog in your family, vacuum five times per week, in those high traffic areas. For low-trafficked areas, once per week should suffice. This might seem extensive and perhaps unnecessary, but it keeps your carpet and rugs virtually free of dry soil buildup. Don't forget to vacuum your steps if you have them. </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">How to vacuum</strong></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">You might be thinking, “You just plug it in and push it across the floor.” Which is basically what you do. The problem is how fast you move and how much overlapping you cover when running the vacuum.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">While you may push the vacuum forward fast, slow down when you pull it towards you. This way the beater bar, if your vacuum has one, has a chance to work loose the soils. Also, overlap several inches from side to side so you have complete coverage of the floor.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></strong></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">Choosing the best vacuum</strong></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Quality matters when choosing a good vacuum cleaner. The cheaper ones at department stores may work fine for a while, but they quickly lose efficiency and often break down. Look at the reviews of any vacuum cleaner you are contemplating and spend a few more dollars on a superior model. Your carpet and rugs will be better off in the long run.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Choosing a vacuum with a beater bar is smart. Especially with thick pile carpet, it helps remove more dry soil. Some choose vacuum cleaners with a bagless option. If you use a vacuum cleaner with a bag, change it out when about half full, for maximum efficiency. Purchase plenty of replacement bags and have them on hand for this purpose.</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 16px;"> </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Tile floors are everywhere, and where there’s tile, there’s also grout to separate it all, keeping everything nice and even, with straight lines.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">But a straight line may not always be so… </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; position: relative;">clean</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">. Dirt and grime and other contaminants build up over time and make what was once a beautiful floor look downright ugly. The grout is especially susceptible to soiling and staining.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Just as you would clean any surface, <a href="https://www.deltacarpetclean.com/Tile-And-Grout-Cleaning.html">tile and grout</a> floors need special attention. If you keep them clean, following a maintenance schedule, you won’t have to deal with the tough issue of restorative cleaning.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Here are a few simple tips for you to follow in order to keep your tile and grout floors in tip-top shape.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Sweep it</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The first step is keep the floor swept. Sweep it daily, which will remove dust and debris and other contaminants that can eventually cause tough-to-remove soiling.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Mop it</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Tile floors are very easy to clean and maintain. Use a clean mop and an approved detergent to clean the floor. Some prefer the newer flat floor cleaners. Doesn’t matter the tool, it is how you use it and the products you choose.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Some recommend the use of chlorine bleach, which acts as a disinfectant. The challenge here is remaining residues can create issues, such as being tracked off onto carpet, causing color loss. Be careful with the use of any type of bleach.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Grout issues</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">The toughest part of a tile and grout floor cleaning job is… the grout. It’s porous, even if sealed, and becomes an eyesore quickly. Purchase a heavy-duty grout cleaner and follow the directions. You will most likely be on your hands and knees, and it takes time to do this right. Apply the product to the grout, allow some reasonable contact time, and scrub - scrub - scrub! Repeat as necessary. Work carefully until the grout looks great again.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">When everything is cleaned up, be sure to rinse with a neutral detergent, or just water, and let air dry and inspect. You will find areas need more attention. When you do… get back to work!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Tile and grout cleaning is no easy task, especially when it becomes really soiled.

Odors. They are everywhere. When pleasant, we might call them “scents.” When not-so-pleasant, we might call them malodors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Odors are caused by a variety of sources. Some odors are pleasant, welcoming, such as from a fresh-cut batch of flowers or a nice, home-cooked meal. Others are not pleasant, “malodorous,” such as from an unattended cat litter box or rotting garbage left too long in a trash bin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">And when something is malodorous, you must do something about it. Sometimes, the urge is to just cover it up. That can be a very bad idea as odors just keep getting worse and worse and you eventually have a difficult situation to deal with.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">You want your home to be neat, clean, and odor-free, except for odors (scents) that you introduce because they are pleasant and welcoming, such as air fresheners, perfumes, scented candles, etc. A rule of thumb is this: When it is clean and dry, there should be no odors.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Your carpet, furniture and other absorbent materials in your home, over time, become soiled and often collect odors. Normal “dusty” odors are part of life between cleaning, and routine chores keep them manageable. Yet odors from urine, feces, body perspiration, and other sources are offensive and must be removed.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">There are three principles to follow when it comes to keeping your home clean and odor-free.</span><br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Remove the source</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">When something is deposited, spilled, or has come into contact with a surface, the first step is to remove contamination. This means scraping, rinsing or otherwise removing any odor-causing sources. The sooner you do this, the easier the job will be. An example would be blotting and removing a fresh pet “accident”, as odors will quickly become worse over time.</span><br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Clean affected areas</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Once the source is removed, there is still some contamination on the surface. A thorough cleaning is important to remove any residual matter that can cause odors. Using hot water is best, if the surface can handle higher temperatures. Some furniture fabrics are heat sensitive, for example.</span><br />
<br />
<strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Deodorize and disinfect</strong><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Now it’s time to use odor-removing products, such as an approved deodorizer and/or disinfectant. This should be the final step in odor removal. Follow manufacturer directions exactly, as using too little or too much product can be counter-productive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">And never forget, your favorite cleaning professionals know how to clean and tackle tough odors.

<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">You might have uttered those words a few times, and when it happens, it is often from pet urine in carpet.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">When left untreated, many problems can arise, the most noticeable being by the nose.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">With carpet and other surfaces in the home, one of the toughest chores in urine odor removal is the first one — finding the location of the odor. Following your sense of smell often helps, and keeping an eye on the offending pet(s) and tracking them to the source can also work. Professionals, like your favorite carpet cleaner, have special detection devices that locate </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; position: relative;">exactly</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> where urine contamination is located. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Then you must clean and treat the area. A small spotting machine with water and a small amount of detergent can remove what’s in the carpet pile, but there’s really no way to get deep down in the backing or pad where some of the urine might have penetrated. That’s something only the pros can do. <b>But getting to a urine spot while still damp and using lots of blotting with disposable towels is a great urine removal 101 tip. Once it dries, it becomes much more challenging.</b></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3e3e3e; font-family: Quattrocento Sans, sans-serif;">Remember this: If left untreated, especially if the pet continues its accident-prone activities, and urine builds up in carpet, it doesn’t really dry out. Urine crystallizes and a salt-like substance forms, which attracts moisture from the air. That’s why you notice urine odors in the summer more so than in the winter, because winter air is drier.</span></span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">What about clothing?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">If fresh, a normal laundering should suffice. You might want to wash separately from other garments. Wash with cold water if colorfastness is a concern, although hot water does clean better.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">But occasionally, urine odors can persist in clothing because of the age of the contamination or other factors. When this happens, a pre-soak is necessary. Fill a sink or tub (or use a bucket if the item will fit) and fill it up with hot water. Add ¼ cup of white vinegar per gallon of water that you are using. Soak the clothes for two hours. The vinegar, being acidic, will counteract the aging urine salts that have built up.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Bottom line: </span><br />

It’s just the byproduct of a fire… maybe from a chimney, a furnace puff-back, even an over-zealous gas grill. When the fire is out, you should be able to clean up the soot residue easily, right?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Not so fast! Soot has some characteristics that everyone should consider before attempting to clean. Those who perform fire damage work understand the dangers of soot. So do emergency personnel like firemen. In fact, outdoor soot is regulated by the EPA, classified as a criteria pollutant.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Consider these facts about soot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Soot is made up of very fine carbon particles that become airborne and can remain airborne for quite some time. You must consider this if any type of fire occurs. When it is in your breathing space, it can end up in your lungs. You may not realize it is happening, but it is, and it can cause damage to your mouth, nose, throat and, of course, where it ends up… in your lungs. And did you know that “harmless” wood smoke has many chemical similarities to cigarette smoke?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Skin contact can be dangerous. The International Agency for Research on Cancer says the specific type of hydrocarbons in soot are classified as a “known human carcinogen.” So if you do attempt any cleaning, remember that simple contact, not even breathing in residues, can be potentially harmful to you. Ventilation of affected spaces is required.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment is a must for the professionals, and so it should be for you if you do any of the work yourself. Qualified respiratory, skin and eye protection should be purchased.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">So when you do have the unthinkable happen, such as from a fire, furnace puff-back or other source that produces soot, think </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; position: relative;">carefully</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "quattrocento sans" , sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> before proceeding.</span><br />
<br />

<ol style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; list-style-position: outside !important; margin: 5px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<li style="list-style: decimal outside !important; margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Empty the closet. </strong>Take everything out. Put it in organized piles according to type, such as a pile of shoes, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal outside !important; margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Clean all surfaces in the closet.</strong> This means a bucket of soapy water and a sponge, some paper towels or cotton cloths. This is a good time to clean the walls, shelves, every surface you can reach.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal outside !important; margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Inspect what needs to go back in.</strong> Take a close look at those piles of shoes, shirts, pants, sweaters, etc. Do you need all of them? Are there some items you might discard or donate to charity? Now’s the time!</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal outside !important; margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>If you are a seasonal organizer,</strong> this could be an opportunity to store away, perhaps in a basement, items you won’t need for the near future.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal outside !important; margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Restock the closet.</strong> Give this some thought. Hanging as many items as you can on thinner hangers saves space. Have areas in the closet where you keep items you wear more frequently and other areas for items that you wear occasionally.</li>
<li style="list-style: decimal outside !important; margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 5px !important; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong>Consider garment organizers,</strong> which are helpful in keeping items separate for seasonal use, or for specific types of events, such as formal occasions. And remember the floor space, which can be used for shoe organizers.</li>
</ol>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">Closets are very important real estate. Take advantage of them and keep them all neat, clean and organized. Imagine… going into a closet that doesn’t scare you as you select your favorite sweater to ward off a cold evening chill. Nice thought, right?</span><br />

When dealing with disaster issues, what might seem like a minor issue may actually be a dangerous situation. Water damage, even from the smallest leaks, can result in mold growth. Wet materials that might seem to be drying out could hold moisture in hidden areas. Smoke from a fire can be dangerous as well.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Back to normal</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Anyone that has never suffered from a loss might not understand the emotions, frustrations and feeling of hopelessness that are common during a restoration project. Using a professional company means things move along quickly, and you are back in your home or able to use damaged rooms as soon as possible. Doing it yourself can make the project drag on for days longer than necessary, often with undesirable results.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Insurance coverage</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Water, fire, smoke, wind, mold… what’s covered? And what’s not? Insurance policies are difficult to interpret, yet a professional disaster restoration company works with insurance companies every day, so they are best equipped to help you through the process of dealing with insurance agents and adjusters. You want to be treated fairly and receive fair coverage from your insurance company. Having a qualified, reputable restoration contractor in your corner helps with the entire process.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #3e3e3e; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Do what’s right. Call your disaster restoration company when you suffer any type of loss. </span></div>

Especially close to the sink, where most food prep usually takes place. Make it a daily habit, and especially after preparing tasty meals that include meat such as chicken and pork, to use a disinfectant kitchen cleaner and paper towels. But don’t just spray and wipe. Spray the disinfectant cleaner </span><em style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px; position: relative;">all over</em><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> the countertop and give it a few minutes to work, and then wipe it off.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Cutting boards </strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">As previously mentioned, cutting boards have been known to be so contaminated that toilet seats are considered to have less contamination. Most people, after preparing food, quickly rinse and wipe off their cutting boards, leaving a teaming army of bacteria behind. Just like with countertops, a disinfectant cleaner is important. Even better? Have several cutting boards in your kitchen and after using one, put it in the dishwasher. Done. Clean. Healthy.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><strong style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Sinks</strong><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Many bacteria tests of kitchen sinks reveal a collection of E. coli. Why? Unless you are on vacation, your kitchen sink is always wet, which is what bacteria thrives on. Add food particles to the mix and the bacteria has a huge buffet to feast upon. Frequently spray the kitchen sink with disinfectant cleaner, give it time to work, and then rinse with hot water. Do this daily. Doesn’t take much time at all.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: "Quattrocento Sans", sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Of course, when you want peace of mind and a healthy home, especially when you are too busy to do it yourself, call a pro.
