Imagine…
You are shopping for new carpet, perhaps for just a few rooms. Two of the rooms are bedrooms, which don’t get as much foot traffic as the entryway, living room and hallway you also need to replace. It’s been nearly 10 years since you had new carpet.
You go to a local carpet retail store. The carpet salesman has a great deal for you: A virtually stain-proof carpet with vibrant colors and also soft to the touch. You put your fingers into the carpet pile and love how it feels. You order the carpet for all the rooms you need to replace.
In a week or two, on the scheduled installation day, you remove all the furniture from the rooms and the installation pros show up and remove the old carpet and pad and put in the new.
It looks great!
A year later, when you decide it’s time to have the carpet cleaned, your carpet cleaning pros show up and do a great job removing the dirt. The spots come right out! However, there is a “worn” area in the living room and down the hallway, but not in the bedrooms. You ask your carpet cleaning cleaning technician why that is. He performs a fiber identification test and informs you that you purchased polyester carpet, which tends to mat down and look somewhat soiled just because of wear. He then kindly informs you that if you had purchased nylon, a more durable carpet fiber, this likely wouldn’t have happened.
You are upset. Don’t you hate it when you purchase something and it doesn’t perform as promised? But remember, carpet salespeople may not be your best consultant when it comes to fibers.
So before you go looking for new carpet or furniture, give your carpet and furniture cleaning pro at Delta Carpet Cleaning a call (216) 939-8741. Ask which fiber is best for each application in your home. Yes, polyester may be soft and colorful, but it may be best to keep it in the bedrooms and use durable fibers, like nylon and wool (which is expensive), in the high trafficked areas of your home.

Spring Cleanup Time!
 |
| You don't have to do it yourself! |
Most homeowners use the spring season to clean up the house, going through closets and drawers, basements, and even cleaning out the garage.
Most schedule in-home necessary services, such as professional carpet cleaning, so don’t forget that Delta Carpet Cleaning is important part of your spring cleaning routine. Don't forget about your blinds. Blinds hold a lot of dust but you don't have to clean them yourself- call our blind cleaning division at 216-939-8741 ext 2.
What most don’t think about is spring cleaning on the outside of the home. That’s right. Although most spring cleaning chores are performed inside the home, the outside needs some attention as well.
Some outside areas are neglected all winter, obviously, especially for colder climates when everything is covered in ice and snow. Think about the street in front of your home. If you go take a look, you will probably find all kinds of unsightly clutter and debris.
Take a tour of your yard. Although you raked up all those leaves from last fall, it’s amazing how they seem to reappear during the winter. (Yes, you can blame your neighbors for that.) On top of that are twigs and branches that the cold winter tossed into your yard. Most likely, you will find a bit of trash taking up residence in the back of your home, where the wind deposited it all.
Look closely at the exterior of your home, such as the siding or brick. Chances are, mold or mildew has taken residence along with other soils. A good pressure washing could be part of your spring cleaning campaign.
No one wants to wash windows but it’s a necessary task. Don’t do just the inside. Get a stepladder (but keep it safe!) and give those windows a good scrubbing. Your local hardware store no doubt has the professional-type scrubbing tools plus handy squeegees. Don’t want to tackle this task? Hire a window washing pro.
It’s spring! Get out there and shine things up.

The Benefits of Cleaning Your Mattress
Do you suffer from Asthma? Do you often wake up in the morning with a stuffy nose or allergy symptoms? Your mattress may be to blame!
It is an unpleasant fact of life: Dust mites are everywhere– including on your mattress. Many people are allergic to dust mite excrement and their dead
carcasses. Dust mite excrement is said to be a leading cause of asthma symptoms, Rhinitis (stuffy, runny nose) and skin rashes.
But there’s more. Your mattress also contains dead skin, sweat and other miscellaneous bodily fluids and if your pet sleeps or plays on your bed then you can add a host of other contaminates. And let’s not forget about the ever growing problem with Bed Bugs.
But what can we do about it? Various sources recommend vacuuming your mattress weekly using a vacuum that has a Hepa filter. A hepa filter is important because the feces from dust mites is small enough to pass through a regular vacuum bag. People with allergies or asthma should have their mattresses cleaned every 3-6 months. As for the rest of us a yearly cleaning/sanitizing is recommended.
Recently Delta Carpet Cleaning purchased a piece of equipment which is ideal for cleaning mattresses. Dust mite debris, dead skin cells and any other loose material that 
At the same time the mattress is sanitized by the heat– no chemicals needed. If for peace of mind you would like additional sanitizer applied to your mattress– we can treat it with Microban which is a hospital grade disinfectant or we can use a botanical disinfectant. The pictures shows Greg using the equipment on our own mattress. It was ready to sleep on that night. If you would like to know more or would like to have your mattresses cleaned give us a call at 216-939-8741 or visit our website: http://www.deltacarpetclean.com/Mattress-Cleaning-Berea-Ohio.htmlTuesday, March 17, 2015
