What's
New? |
|
Over
the past few month's, A Clean Footprint has received many requests from
our clients to apply Anti-Static Treatments during our carpet cleaning
services. |
|
With
winter approaching, those dreaded and unexpected static electricity shocks
start occurring. In fact, some seem so harsh it's almost like placing your
finger inside an AC outlet. These "static electricity zaps" are produced
by heating systems drying out the air in our homes and offices and the
humidity level dropping below 40 percent. |

the winter torture today and ask our certified personnel about our Anti-Static
Treatment Specials! |

Protect
It! |
|
When
this protective coating is applied to the carpet fibers, it puts a protective
barrier around each fiber. This protective barrier resists moisture. When
you do have a spill, it gives you a window of time to get it cleaned up. |
|
The
other important way that this product helps you is in the area of wear.
Having this protective coating on your carpet helps reduce the wear and
abrasion caused by sand in the carpet. This protects the carpet from excessive
matting, and in turn will cause your carpet to perform better. |
|
|
|
Less
Time Vacuuming!
Vacuuming
is more effective once a Scotchgard™ Protector has been applied. It improves
vacuuming tremendously with fewer passes of the vacuum creating less time
for chores on your part. Regular vacuuming and prompt cleanup of any spills
will help maintain the bright, fresh clean look for a long time. |
|
Simplifies
Clean-ups!
Scotchgard™
Protector protects against both oil and water based stains. The one big
advantage of this is that stains release easier and rarely ever become
hard-to-remove spots when cleaned be repelling the liquid as opposed to
soaking. It helps repel spills (fruit drinks, frozen fruit treats, soft
drinks, etc.) so that they can be blotted up quickly and easily before
they become stains. It also helps carpet fibers to resist soiling. |
|
When
Should I Apply It?
The
best time to apply Scotchgard™ Protector is right after a scheduled carpet
cleaning. We are an authorized Scotchgard™ provider for their 3M Scotchgard™
Protector product. |

Our
Carpet Cleaning Process |
A
Clean Footprint's preferred method of cleaning is "hot water extraction"
which is recognized within the carpet cleaning industry as both the most
effective and efficient procedure for cleaning carpets. We have both truck/van
mount units as well as small portable hand-held units to complete the services
at hand. Carpets cleaned by this method are noticeably cleaner, brighter,
softer, and always tend to last longer.
Next, the carpets are then pre-treated with heavy-duty stain and soil removers
to problematic areas such as dirt, rust, tar, grease, oily residues, dust
mites, and gum. This process is always FREE of charge!
Therafter, steam/hot water and cleaning solutions are mixed within the
unit and then injected under high pressure into the pile (bottom carpet
fibers) to effectively break up remove stains, harmful bacteria, fungus,
chemicals, pollens, tobacco residue, dirt, embedded soils and much, much
more within the carpet. The machine draws the dirt and soils out of your
carpet through suction and are stored into a holding tank within our trucks
or vans. |
|
After
the carpets are cleaned, light furniture will be replaced and plastic tabs
or blocks are placed under their feet. The pile of the carpet is then raked
to help with the drying process. The carpets are left damp to the touch
and usually dry within 2-6 hours depending on humidity and air circulation
within the home or business. |
|
What
about Indentations?
Indentations
from heavy furniture may return return back to normal over time. We offer
no guarantee that we can remove indentations from heavy furniture. In addition
to the pile of the carpet being crushed, the backing of the carpet is indented.
Heat, moisture, and hand grooming with our equipment may help, but it will
take time to release back to normal, if at all. Severe cases may be permanent. |
|
Routine
Cleanings:
One
of the most often neglected tasks today is routine carpet cleanings to
ensure a safer environment for people and pets. While it makes good sense
to have your carpets cleaned regularly not only from an appearance and
investment protection point of view, some go without it for years only
to have their carpet fibers dull and worn looking from the constant grinding
of soil from the foot traffic alone. From a health standpoint, carpets
contain bacteria, dust mites, germs, and other substances within their
fibers that plays havoic on people with allergy and respiratory problems.
Major carpet manufacturers recommend that you have your carpets cleaned
every 6-18 months. Heavily traveled areas and people with allergy or respiratory
problems may seek quarterly or greater cleaning frequencies. |
|
Other
Processess We Offer:
We
also offer a method similar to dry foam, known as "Bonnet Cleaning", where
a cotton bonnet along with a floor polishing/buffing machine is used. The
buffer rotates the cotton bonet and absorbs the dirt and soils from your
caprets. We use this method occasionally and only when the carpets aren't
as dirty. |

Pet
Odor & Stain Removal |
As we
all know, a high percentage of families today have pets in their home.
While that loving pet looks so inicient, it can be your carpets worst nightmare!
A Clean Footprint understand that pets are sometimes part of the family.
Although did you know that pet accidents such as vomiting and urinating
is saturated with a bacteria so harsh that it's harmful to adults and children
alike?
Pets urine content constantly changes under the factors of sex, reproductive
cyles, health, age, medications, and much more, which may develop into
unremovable stains, even a month later. When you find overlooked urine
long after the accident has occured its definately time to give us a call
so that we may neutralize it. While not all pet stains result in permanent
stains, urine can permamently damage carpet dyes and fibers if left untreated.
Urine damages carpets by weakening the carpet layers, seams, as well as
the seperating and damaging of the backing material (cushion).
After identifying the location the urine has occured, we first pre-treat
the urine spot to break the bond of it and the carpet so that it can be
extracted. |
|
|
|
Enzymes
are then applied used to attack the urine which physically destroys the
remainings at their source. When using this procedure, your normal results
are excellent! |
|
Another
issue that consumers face is the "odor" factors left behind from pet accidents.
While many purchase off-the-shelf products, they soon find that most of
them only mask the odors instead of removing them. If odors cannot be removed,
we recommend replacing the carpet (from with a saved scrap piece) along
with the backing material (cushion). At times, the flooring itself may
need to be replaced. |
|
When
you
find a spill or accident, you need to act quickly to avoid a permanent
stain! Immediately blot up as much of the liquid stain as possible using
a white absorbent cloth or paper towel. Gently scrape up semi-solids. Therafter,
break up any solids and vacuum over the spot thoroughly.
Never SCRUB or BRUSH any stain as it can harm
the carpet fibers and allow the stain to set in the carpet! |
|
Stain
removal is a very general term because there are so many different stains
as well as many different ways to remove stains. There is a big difference
between a spot and a stain. A spot can be cleaned with normal cleaning,
but a stain is consider permanent with a normal cleaning. A Clean Footprint
is up to the challenge. Kool-aid, wine, mustard, ink, copier toner,
water stains, yellowing from pet stains and ph imbalance we can remove
them. |
