Warning: Natural Stone Maintenance

admin — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:24:17 +0000

General cleaners not specifically formulated for natural stone or tile are never recommended. These can breakdown the sealer, thereby removing its protective properties and making the stone and tile grout susceptible to stains. Worse yet, many cleaning products, including those that contain lemon, vinegar, bleach or ammonia can etch away the polish, discolor the surface, or even scratch your stone.

Shrinking Cushion Covers

Many us see a spot on the couch cushion and the first thing that comes to mind is to wash it. Please do not take cover off your cushion and stick them in the washer and dryer . You can encounter the cover shrinking and it will not fit the cushion anymore. ALWAYS read cleaning instructions before cleaning yourself. Also when spotting, test a small unseen area because you never know what the spotter might do to the fiber. If your don’t it might create a problem for example discolor the fibers.

Potential Hazard When Cleaning Yourself

admin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:54:07 +0000

Most of us are not equipped with sanitary skills. If you choose to clean your carpet yourself make sure you choose good carpet cleaning supply. Because using products that are not of good or high quality can destroy your investment. Of course ruining it is the worst case scenario. Sometimes there is a problem when the product you bought does not do a good job of cleaning your carpets. Or even worst leaves a residue behind which make your carpeting track up faster and look dingy. It might not remove all the dirt or bacteria. Another thing is it may not be able to remove all the pet hairs that accumulated on the carpet. So always try to hire a certified professional that is equipped with knowledge and technique to receive maximum results.

Flokati Rugs

Flokati come from the greek word “floko” meaning strand. The rugs are made from New Zealand wool yarn that is spun on special spindles which produces the loose fluffy texture. They have the look of an animal skin without the skin.

Myth: You shouldn’t clean your carpet until you see the dirt

admin — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 15:39:14 +0000

TRUTH: By the time the soil is visible, much of the damage is done to the carpet. Microscopic pieces of dirt and soil destroy the protective fiber coating and break down the fiber, so even after it is clean, it may still look dirty. This is why you still see your traffic patterns after the carpet has been cleaned.
