When Is It Time To Clean Your Carpets and Upholstery?

SteamMasters professionals have cleaned up a lot of spills, spots, and dirt. Often customers ask us when they should clean their carpets, upholstery, or area rugs. Below is a list of signs to help you know it’s time to deep clean your carpets or other surfaces in your home or business. 

Has it been six months since your last cleaning? 

Carpet, upholstery, and area rugs need to be maintained just like anything else we own and care about. Our interior spaces need routine maintenance to keep them beautiful and prevent premature wear and tear. 

Is there visible soil?

Are traffic areas starting to appear darker or dirtier than other areas in your home? Are the arms or seats of your couch or chair starting to look dull or dirtier than they should be?  What about your area rugs, are they starting to lose their original sparkle?

Weather and outdoor conditions often affect this. Tracking in mud, snow, and other debris from outside makes our indoor surfaces visibly dirty fast! Don’t mistake dirty carpets, rugs, or furniture for old or worn out, many times these need a good clean to help them look new again. Our SteamMasters technicians can also help you understand the difference between a spot, dirt, or if there is damage. 

Do you have major spots or spills?

Do you have pets and or children? 

Throughout our daily lives, accidents happen. All sorts of substances wind up spilled on the surfaces of our homes. When spills happen, don’t let the spill sit too long before getting it cleaned up. We recommend patting it to get the initial liquid or spill out of the carpet. Then schedule an appointment for a professional deep cleaning from SteamMasters to remove anything that seeped beyond the surface of the carpet. 

Has anyone in your home recently been sick?   

With the coronavirus pandemic, maintaining our health is the focus of everything we do. Even with just a regular cold or flu, the surfaces in our homes. If anyone in your household has been sick we highly recommend a deep clean of your carpets and upholstery. 

Has your home gone through construction or remodeling?

Construction and remodeling are a major disruption to the operation of our households and leaves behind a serious mess. After the work has been completed, we highly recommend a deep cleaning of all carpets and upholstery to remove all dust and allergen particles from your home.  

In the unfortunate event of a flood or fire in your home, a deep cleaning is also advised. After a flood or fire, it’s always best to remove extra water, soil, and debris as quickly as possible afterward to get your home back to a clean and safe place again.

Why Fall Is The Best Time To Have Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned

Fall is that time of year when the temperatures are dipping and the leaves are dropping off of the trees. We typically experience a little more wet weather than during the summer. Our pets often want to spend more time indoors where it is warmer and drier. Steam Masters has provided a few reasons on why Fall is the best time to have your carpets professionally cleaned.

Unfortunately, we track in dead plant debris, like leaves and grass cuttings, as well as moisture into our homes during the fall. With the cooler outside temperatures other small creatures, like spiders and centipedes, are moving inside looking for a home. Our carpet fibers are getting saturated with dirt, dampness, and possibly insects.

Many people don't realize how beneficial regular carpet cleaning is for the look, feel, and health of their carpet. With summer behind us and the holiday season around the corner, it's a great time to revamp the look of your carpet. Fall is a great time of year to have professional carpet cleaning from SteamMasters done in your home or office! 

Fall has the Perfect Weather for Fast Dry Times

With the somewhat cooler temperatures of Fall moving in, you no longer have to deal with the summer months’ intense heat and humidity!

This means that you can open your window and let some of that fresh, crisp fall air in, which will also allow your carpets to dry quicker.

Faster dry times means a reduced risk of mold or mildew growth. Not to mention, you’ll be able to walk on and use your carpets like usual again much sooner!

Clean Carpets Mean Better Indoor Air Quality

During the Fall and Winter, you and your family are going to spend more time inside than during Summer. With family gathered around for home-cooked dinners and the holidays around the corner, it’s no wonder why we spend so much of this time indoors.

The downside to this means you’ll be spending more time breathing indoor air. As bacteria, dirt, dust, and other allergens hide in your carpets, they’ll be released into the air you breathe more often during these months.

However, when you have your carpets professionally-cleaned during the Fall, you’ll be enjoying cleaner, higher-quality air during the Fall and Winter months. Therefore, reducing allergies among yourself and family members and breathing easier throughout the holiday season.

Protect Your Carpet From Holiday Foot Traffic and Stains

Among all of the fun that comes with the holiday season, it also means more guests walking through your home and more spills and stains. This increased foot traffic can wear down your carpets and result in more tracked-in dirt and debris.

A professional carpet cleaner like SteamMasters can add a protectant to your carpet during the cleaning process that will repel these stains and dirt, making regular carpet maintenance much easier to keep up with over the holidays.

This way, you can focus more on enjoying time with friends and family and less on worrying about stains and messes.

Keep Your Home Looking Its Best for Your Guests

This may be the most obvious reason to have your carpets cleaned during the Fall, but it will keep your home looking beautiful and presentable for your guests. As the holiday season means more friends and family will be visiting, you’ll want your house to look clean and smell fresh for them!

When you have a professional carpet cleaner like SteamMasters clean your carpets, they’ll look much cleaner, smell fresher, and be much easier to regularly maintain.

Fall is the perfect time of year to have a professional carpet cleaning service clean your home’s carpets. Fall has the ideal weather to promote faster dry times. You’ll be improving air quality in your home for the winter months, protecting your carpets from holiday foot traffic and spills, and keeping your home presentable for your holiday guests! Professional carpet cleaners recommend having your carpets cleaned at least one to two times a year. Make sure that one of those times is this Fall!

Is Professional Carpet Cleaning Worth the Cost?

Many people are reluctant to have their carpets cleaned by a professional. They feel that it is an unnecessary expense. They may feel that it is too expensive and think they shouldn’t bother having the service performed because their carpets will just get dirty again in a few months. They figure why spend the money on carpet cleaning just to have them cleaned again shortly after.

However, there are many benefits to having your carpets cleaned professionally. SteamMasters has provided several reasons why. 

It removes allergens that can cause potential health problems to you and your family. It is more effective than vacuuming. It removes more dirt and germs than home carpet cleaning machines. It also preserves the life of your carpets.

Carpet Cleaning Prevents Mold Growth

Mold can be toxic and damp and dirty carpets are a breeding ground for mold. When carpets get wet and do not dry properly, it is very easy for mold to grow in them. Mold is often undetected in carpets until it is too late. Professional carpet cleaners have special machines and tools that help in drying your carpets quickly. Therefore, there is a lower chance of mold growth then not getting your carpets cleaned professionally. 

Professional Carpet Cleaning Removes Dust Mites

When you vacuum your carpets it is often challenging to remove all of the dust mite particles that are deep down in the carpet fibers. This causes them to remain in the carpet and be buried deep down with foot traffic. Professional carpet cleaners like SteamMasters use high-temperature steam that can kill dust mites. The dust mites are then removed when the water is sucked back up into the machine.

Carpet Cleaning Helps to Get Rid of Allergens

Even though many vacuums have allergen filters, they do not always remove all of the allergens that may be deep in your carpet. Many of the solutions that you can purchase for home carpet cleaning machines claim that they eliminate and prevent allergens. However, this is not always the case. They may remove some allergens, but they do not get carpets completely clean in order to remove all of them.

This is why it is a good idea to hire a professional carpet cleaning service like SteamMasters to clean your carpets. They have commercial grade solutions and machines that will remove any potentially hazardous germs and allergens that are left behind by vacuums and home carpet cleaning machines.

Why Professional Tile Cleaning is Important

Just as you have your carpet regularly cleaned by a professional to remove stains, dirt, dust and pet dander, you should do the same for the tile and grout in your home. Regular mopping with household cleaning products leaves residue in the grout lines that is nearly impossible to get out on your own. Professional tile and grout cleaners like SteamMasters have the correct tools and skill to significantly extend the life of your tile floor.

Tile flooring is most commonly found in kitchens and bathrooms. These are two of the most used rooms in your home. They are also rooms where the most spills occur. These rooms experience high moisture which will lead to mold. Mold can be harmful to your family, so it is important that you have your tile cleaned by a professional like SteamMasters at the first sign of mold.

Over time, mildew and bacteria build up on your tile and get deep into the grout between the tiles. Once mildew and bacteria are present, it can be difficult to get rid of. The only way to be sure that all mold and mildew is eliminated is to have your tile professionally cleaned by SteamMasters.

Hiring a professional will guarantee that your tile and grout are cleaned correctly. Professionals understand all aspects of tile flooring and what solutions work best to get them clean. Cleaning tile is hard work, but when you hire a professional like SteamMasters, you can rest assured that the job will be done right without damaging your tiling. Not to mention, professional tile cleaners use chemicals that are safe around children and pets.

Contact SteamMasters today for all your tile and grout cleaning needs.

Carpet Cleaning Facts Every Homeowner Should Know

Your home is a big investment so making sure that everything in your home is well cared for is an important part of protecting your investment. Regular carpet cleaning performed by a skilled carpet cleaning professional like SteamMasters is essential when it comes to the appearance of your carpets. SteamMasters provides a few facts that you may not know about carpet cleaning:

No matter what your carpets look like, they are dirty. Most of the time, dusting is one of those household chores that is done frequently since dust is visible when it begins to collect on surfaces. When you dust, that dust is stirred up and ends up deep within the fibers of your carpets.

Steam cleaning or hot water extraction is the most effective technique. Most carpet cleaning companies use a method called hot water extraction. Professional carpet cleaners like SteamMasters use high powered machines that apply a mixture of hot water and special cleaning solutions, and then a strong suction to extract the dirt from deep within the fibers of your carpet.

Do it yourself methods are a waste of time. Carpet cleaning is a task that many homeowners are often tempted to try on their own. Professional carpet cleaners like SteamMasters are experienced when it comes to using carpet cleaning equipment as well as making sure the carpets are thoroughly dried.

Regular carpet cleaning can improve your indoor air quality. If you or someone in your family suffers from allergies, having your carpets cleaned on a regular basis by a professional like SteamMasters can actually improve their symptoms. The carpets in your home are perfect breeding grounds for dust, allergens and even bacteria. Having them cleaned will remove these things and improve the air quality within your home.

Having the carpets in your home cleaned on a regular basis is the best way to extend the life of your carpets. You, your family and your guests are sure to enjoy all of the benefits that clean carpets have to offer.

If you’re looking to get the carpets cleaned in your home or a client’s home, contact the professional cleaning experts at SteamMasters today 412-415-3035 for a free estimate. SteamMasters also offers cleaning tile, grout, upholstery, marble and stone polishing and more.

Get a Deep Clean with Truck-Mounted Steam Cleaning Equipment From SteamMasters

When your carpet needs the deepest cleaning possible, only truck-mounted steam cleaning, otherwise known as hot water extraction, will do the job.

SteamMasters has provided a few reasons why it’s the best system to use:

Efficient

SteamMasters uses truck mounted equipment because it works better than any other system. The vacuum is much stronger than anything else available. It pulls more dirt, debris, allergens and moisture out of your carpet than anything else. Rental units from department stores can’t do this.

Reliable

It is professional grade equipment that gets serviced regularly. When we show up at your house to clean your carpets, you can guarantee that your carpet will look like new. Some carpet warranties actually require that your carpets be professionally steam cleaned on a regular basis.

Deep

Part of the cleaning system “shoots” steaming hot water into your carpet. This loosens stains, frees trapped dirt and more. We reach the very bottom of the carpet, not just the top layer.

Less Moisture

How much moisture is left in the carpet is a critical matter. Rental carpet cleaning units leave enough water for mold and mildew to start growing. That’s a health hazard for your family. SteamMasters equipment pulls out much more water. 

SteamMasters uses a top of the line truck mounted, deep steam cleaning unit to make sure that your carpets, tile and grout, upholstery, and mattresses look brand new when we are done.

From carpets to tile to anything else, you’ll be very happy you called us. Contact SteamMasters today at 412-415-3035 for a free estimate

Why You Should Hire A Professional Carpet Cleaning Company For Pet Stains and Odor Removal?

Pet urine odor and stain removal is not a DIY job except for the initial clean up. Some DIY methods can actually make the problem worse. SteamMasters is providing reasons why DIY is harmful to your carpet.

Quickly cleaning up a pet accident is important but many DIY methods can be problematic. Many times there is over use of cleaning solutions and water trying to dilute the urine. This just forces the remaining urine deep into the carpet fibers and padding. Bacteria grows quickly in these situations. While the remaining urine crystalizes and gives off more odors. Some homeowners try super chemicals thinking that it is the solution to pet stain removal. This can end up making your pet sick from the harsh chemical in the cleaners used to neutralize the urine.

Removing Pet Urine DIY Methods can leave:

Missed urine residue that grows harmful bacteria over time

Missed urine and odors stick in the base fibers and under padding

Remaining urine crystals become more potent with time if not properly removed

Many cleaners contain toxic chemicals that are harmful to pets

Most professional carpet cleaning companies say they specialize in pet stain removal. SteamMasters Carpet Cleaning is an expert in pet stain removal and pet odor removal. SteamMasters use special cleaning solutions that break down the chemical composition of urine to eliminate stains and odors. This means that the crystals that produce strong odors are broken down with the elimination of bacteria.

 Professional Carpet Cleaning eliminate pet odors and urine stains

Specialize in pet urine and odor removal

Cleaning solutions break down pet urine crystals and odors

High powered equipment extracts deep moisture

Fast drying to preserve your carpets

SteamMasters uses a cleaning solution that is effective, safe, and uses less water used in other methods. It means that you’ll see faster drying times and be back to your busy schedule in no time.

Tips To Make Your Carpet Allergy Friendly

For someone who suffers from allergies, the spring and summer months can be particularly challenging. This is because these times of the month are known as allergy season and is when all of the different allergens are around. There are a lot of things that can cause your allergies to flare up, including your home’s carpet. This is because it is easy for various allergens to become trapped within the carpet material. However, there are ways to help reduce this problem. At SteamMasters we have provided a few ways that you can help to make your carpet allergy friendly.

Get a Short-Pile Carpet

When you are first deciding what carpet to get installed in your home, there are different lengths or carpeting that you can choose from. To help with your allergies, it is best to go with something called a low-pile carpet. Since these types of carpet have much shorter weaves and are grouped more tightly, it allows far less allergens to become trapped in the carpet material. This will help to keep your allergies at a distance.

Perform Weekly Vacuuming

Even if you or anyone in your family does not have any allergies, it is still necessary to vacuum your carpet on a regular basis. But when there are allergies present, it is even more important that vacuuming is done quite frequently. It is generally recommended that someone should vacuum their carpet at least once a week in order to be able to suck up any particles that may have settled in the carpet. In order to make sure that it does as good of a job as possible, it is also recommended that the vacuum come with a high-efficiency particulate air filter, which is specifically designed to trap allergens.

Steam Clean Monthly

In addition to vacuuming, steam cleaning is also a major part of carpet care in order to help prevent annoying allergies. This allows you to get the carpet even cleaner than when you vacuum it but is also a process that should be done by professionals like SteamMasters. So, instead of getting it done weekly like vacuuming, it should instead be done once every month or two.

Lower Humidity Levels

Some people might like their home to be slightly more humid in order to prevent the bothersome feeling of dry air. However, for the sake of their carpeting and allergies, it is best to keep the humidity at a low or medium-low level. By doing so, it helps to prevent mold from developing in the carpet, which can have a serious impact on your allergies.

By following these tips, it should help to make sure that your carpet does not trigger your allergies nearly as much. In order to stay ahead of allergy season, make sure to book your professional carpet cleaning today by contacting SteamMasters.

Reasons To Have Your Upholstery Cleaned 

Why is cleaning your furniture and upholstery so important? It not only extends the life of your furniture, which saves you lots of money over the long run, but it also keeps your family clean and healthy! Here are some tips from SteamMasters on making your furniture last!

Furniture cleaning is not only giving your home a fresh new look but also protects you and your family from pollutants, allergens and bacteria.  Although, some people still hesitate whether they should consult a professional upholstery cleaning company like SteamMasters. The common concerns are that furniture cleaning will not bring the expected results or that upholstery may be damaged in the process of cleaning.

At SteamMasters, we have the necessary equipment and carefully train our upholstery cleaners to ensure that upholstery cleaning is performed professionally and does not cause the slightest damage to your furniture. 

Benefits of Upholstery Cleaning

Appearance: Cleaning will not only remove stains and spots but also return brightness and shine to your upholstered furniture.

Smell: Upholstery cleaning helps to get rid of unpleasant odors and deodorize your furniture.

Family Health: Excessive dust and pet dander may cause allergies and breathing difficulties even if you are not an allergic person. 

Simple things like cleaning stains and vacuuming work great for every day, however having your furniture deep cleaned by a professional at SteamMasters needs to be done at least once a year, and sometimes more if you have pets.

Spring Is The Perfect Time For Carpet Cleaning

Spring is here and if you are like millions of other people, you will likely be doing some spring cleaning both inside and outside of your home or business. Cleaning your carpets should also be a part of your spring cleaning routine.

Whether you only have one room that is carpeted or your entire house is carpeted, you should get yourself in the habit of having the carpet professionally cleaned at least once a year. Spring is a great time to have them cleaned because you are already working on sprucing up your home; it makes sense to include having the carpets professionally cleaned by SteamMasters Carpet Cleaning into your spring cleaning routine.

Carpet Cleaning

General maintenance such as vacuuming will help to clean your carpets. Unfortunately, vacuuming will not get the dirt and debris that is trapped deep within your carpet fibers and down to the padding. If you don’t thoroughly have the carpets cleaned by a professional like SteamMasters Carpet Cleaning at least once a year, you will find that your carpet will not only change its appearance due to wear and tear, but it will begin to cause odors in your home.

Professional Carpet Cleaning

While you may be able to spot clean your carpets with a home carpet cleaning machine, the only way to get the carpets properly cleaned is to let a professional do the work. A professional carpet cleaning service like SteamMasters Carpet Cleaning has specialists that have been trained in all of the latest cleaning supplies and techniques. The professionals know how to determine exactly what kind of carpet you have and knowing that will help them to decide which cleaning product is going to clean the carpets properly.

Professional carpet cleaning equipment was designed specifically for deep cleaning the carpets in homes and businesses. These machines are more powerful than any of the home model carpet cleaning machines. These machines use the “steam method” of cleaning to ensure that every inch of your carpet is cleaned thoroughly and effectively.

When Rental Carpet Cleaners Just Aren’t Cutting It

When you own any carpet, it is very important that you follow the steps of proper carpet care, which involves getting it regularly cleaned. If you don’t take proper care of it, then you are going to have to end up replacing the carpet more often, which is going to cost a lot more than just getting it cleaned on a regular basis. But the type of cleaning that you get done is just as important as how often you get it cleaned.

As a homeowner, you can either rent some carpet cleaning machines and complete the cleaning yourself or get a team of professionals like SteamMasters to handle it for you. While renting the equipment might seem like the more tempting option, there are actually many reasons why hiring professionals are the better choice. 

Here are the situations where renting carpet cleaners just aren’t going to cut it.

Cleaning Tough or Old Messes

If it has been a while since you last had your carpet cleaned, then it is more than likely going to need a somewhat intensive cleaning job. While rental equipment is fine for doing little touch-ups, it does not match the skills of the professional equipment.

The equipment used by professional cleaners come with significantly larger motors that are capable of providing much more suction. This is going to be very useful for helping to remove any dirt or other debris located deep down inside of the carpet fibers.

Also commercial equipment is often able to heat water to 230-degrees Fahrenheit and makes it easier to adjust the temperature, which is useful for helping to loosen up tough messes without ever worrying about damaging the carpet.

Handling Multiple Types of Messes

Rental carpet cleaners are going to come with a single type of carpet shampoo that you will be forced to use to help get rid of any stain that you may have. The problem is that not all messes are the same and will need different types of treatments in order to get rid of them. That is where professional cleaners like SteamMasters have a significant advantage.

Unlike rental equipment, the professional cleaners are going to have a large variety of carpet cleaning products that they can use for cleaning very specific types of stains. So even if your carpet is bombarded with numerous types of messes, the professional team at SteamMasters will have the equipment necessary to handle it.

Cleaning Older Heirloom Rugs

Sometimes a homeowner will have a rug or two throughout their house, which may sometimes be heirlooms that are more delicate than modern rugs or carpet. Because of this, you will want to make sure that extra care is taken to help prevent the heirloom rug from experiencing any damage. But rental cleaning equipment is not going to be as reliable and will be unfamiliar to you, which increases your chances of accidentally damaging your heirloom rug. Whereas, professional cleaners will know their more precise equipment inside and out, which allows them to clean heirloom carpets safely and efficiently.

When you are ready to take advantage of these benefits of using professional cleaners, contact our team at SteamMasters today at 412-415-3035 for a free estimate

Selling Your Home? Carpet Cleaning Will Help

Whether you’re selling your own home or you’re working in real estate, selling a home isn’t always easy. But there are certain actions that you can take to really improve the home’s value and make it look more appealing to potential buyers. Some of these actions might be to finally get those renovations done, declutter your space, and plan a full cleanout. One of the most important but rarely done efforts that you can take is to clean your carpets. Here’s why:

Buyers Want to Move Into a Home That’s Ready

When looking at a new potential home, buyers want to think about how much they’ll truly enjoy the home and not how much time they’ll need to spend cleaning. If you give the impression that your home is dirty and needs to be cleaned, that will make a lot of buyers lose interest. And consider how much dirt and debris build-up on your carpet, getting your carpets cleaned is one of the best ways to make any room look cleaner.

You’ll Improve the Smell

Another reason why you should get your carpet cleaned is to improve the smell of your room. Even if your carpet looks clean, that doesn’t necessarily mean that it is. Debris can sink into your carpet and make it smell even when you don’t expect it to be there, and generate a smell that pushes potential buyers away. Your goal should be to make buyers feel comfortable and cozy in the space, not want to run from it or start cleaning.   

Reduce Buyers’ Health Concerns

Another reason why you might want to get your carpets cleaned is to reduce the chances of having potential buyers suffer from allergies. It’s been proven that dust mites and pollutants that build up in the home can trigger allergies and respiratory issues for many people. When you’re selling a home, that’s the last thing you’d want to happen. The best idea might be to get a full cleanout done to get rid of any allergens that build up within your carpets, which is a common breeding ground. 

Save Money

Maybe you have nice carpets that you don’t want to throw out, but they’ve gotten dirty over the years. Rather than throwing them out and searching for new ones, you can save a lot of money by getting yours cleaned. 

If you’re looking to get the carpets cleaned in your home or a client’s home, contact the professional cleaning experts at SteamMasters today 412-415-3035 for a free estimate. You will find a highly professional team of carpet cleaners who have the right tools, tricks, and techniques to get the toughest stains and odors out of your carpets, and truly bring them back to life. SteamMasters also offers cleaning tile, grout, upholstery, marble and stone polishing and more.

Why You Should Have Your Carpets Steam Cleaned

If you have rooms in your home or business with wall-to-wall carpeting on the floors, you should have them steam cleaned on a regular basis to keep them as clean and fresh as possible. If your carpeting becomes dirty and run down to the extent where it is beyond repair, your home will decrease in value and you’ll lose money that you could have easily saved by having your carpets routinely steam cleaned by SteamMasters.

Many homeowners believe that the only care their carpets need is a weekly sprinkling of an over-the-counter carpet freshening powder before running the vacuum cleaner over the surface. Unfortunately, these products only offer a temporary veil rather than any real cleaning. They can even be harmful to the carpeting if the vacuum fails to remove all of the powder and it builds up over time. People with allergies frequently have difficulty living in homes where over-the-counter carpet freshening products are used, and the scent itself can be overwhelming.

Steam cleaning cleans carpets thoroughly by loosening dirt, dust and allergens from every fiber so that they can easily be removed. Clean carpets make living spaces significantly more enjoyable and may even be beneficial to your health. Carpeting in homes located in damp climates frequently conceal infestations of black mold. Symptoms of allergic reactions to black mold range from mild, hay-fever like sneezing and mild irritation to the eyes and nose to full-blown respiratory illness that can require hospitalization.

Keeping carpets clean doesn’t have to be a daunting task; simply take advantage of the steam cleaning services provided by the skilled professionals at SteamMasters.

 1) Food spills: For small spills, you can use baby wipes to wipe and clean the area. For strong stains like ketchup and chocolate, dip a cloth in white vinegar and apply it onto the stained spot. Repeat this several times until the stain disappears. 

2) Drinks: There is nothing like ruining your precious carpet with spills of drinks like soft drinks and wine. If this happens blot the area with a tissue or a dry cloth to absorb the moisture. Once this is done, you can gently clean the area with warm water and dishwasher soap. 

3) Wax and gum: Removing wax and gum from a carpet without damaging the fiber is very tricky. To do this, freeze the wax or gum using ice. Once frozen carefully pull it out from the fiber using a dull object like a spoon. If there is any water residue, blot the carpet with a towel. Vacuum the carpet completely.

4) Oil: To remove oil spills on the carpet, place a paper towel over the spill and iron the towel in a warm setting. The oil will stick onto the towel which can then be wiped and cleaned. For strong spills, sprinkle baking soda and cornstarch over the spill. Rub the area with a cloth so that the powder enters deep into the carpet. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Vacuum the area thoroughly and wash with a dishwashing soap.

5) Bad odor: To remove bad odors from your carpet sprinkle baking soda sufficiently onto the carpet. Let it sit for a long time, if possible overnight. Vacuum the carpet completely to remove the powder.

Why You Should Have Your Carpets Cleaned After the Holidays

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to be better in the year ahead, then you would be smart to hold off on your carpet cleaning until after January 1st. You, of course, know your household best. You understand what kind of guests you will have in your home, the activities your children will get into, the gifts they will be receiving (perhaps a new puppy!), whether snow and mud are going to stay outside or be tracked throughout your entire home, carpet and all.

A great way to get rid of the residue of the previous year is by investing in carpet cleaning for the year ahead. Dropped food, spilled drinks, increased foot traffic and muddy prints thanks to Pittsburgh’s wet winters could leave your home looking stained and spotted.

All the dust you brought down from the attic or up from the basement when you dragged out your holiday decorations? All the pine needles that fell from your tree? The meals in the family room instead of around the table? It may be in your best interest to wait and do a thorough carpet cleaning for winter cleaning in January.

Having SteamMasters come after the festivities have died down will mean an excellent clean-up, a big sigh of relief after a season of hecticness and activity, and a fresh home to settle down in for the winter.
