continued..... What Are the Most Common Carpet Stain Offenders?
Parties

Parties are one of the most stain-prone events a home could ever experience.
Depending on the size of your party, the foot traffic alone can do a great deal of damage to your carpet. The dirt that has collected by all of your guests’ shoes on the way to the party, no matter the amount, will be seen in the high-traffic areas of your home, such as the main hallway and right by the front door.
According to recent studies, 23% of customers get their carpets cleaned before the holidays. People have family, friends and colleagues over for parties. You may want to consider getting your carpets cleaned after the party, instead.

If your guests are enjoying their favorite alcoholic beverages, this could be another stain just waiting to happen. Wine is the one liquid you absolutely do not want touching your carpet, but at parties, a wine spill is bound to happen. These stains need the actions of a professional cleaner to be cleared properly. Salsa is another party favorite that can be detrimental to your carpet.

Many people might find that these stains are manageable, but it’s imperative to hire a professional to get rid of those pesky stains to maintain the durability of your carpet. Often, the more that homeowners try to deal with a stain by themselves, the worse the stain becomes.

Vacuuming Does NOT Count As Carpet Cleaning... Seriously. We like to think we can keep our carpets clean on our own, thank you very much. We just need to vacuum every month or so and blot when there's a stain... right? Wrong. Most carpet cleaning companies recommend you to professionally clean your carpet every 12 to 24 months. Vacuuming is just not enough. Neither is cleaning carpets yourself. Hiring a professional carpet cleaner is the best way to get your carpet in a healthier condition. Indoor air quality can be eight to ten times worse than outdoor air quality, if you don't clean your flooring, clean your drapes and let air inside regularly.

Stop Using Harsh Chemicals Cleaning Products in Your Home

Using Household Cleaning Products Can Be as Bad as Smoking a Pack a Day   By Hallie Detrick A 20-year longitudinal study conducted by scientists at the University of Bergen in Norway has found that using cleaning products can be as harmful as smoking 20 cigarettes a day. The European Community Respiratory Health Survey aimed to find out more about the long-term effects of using cleaning products. The study looked at lung function in 6,230 participants in 22 locations around the world. Participants answered questions about how often they used cleaning products and had their lung function measured. The study found that women responsible for cleaning at home or professionally suffered a more rapid decline than women who were not responsible for cleaning. The same trend was not observed in men, however. The authors did not offer a reason for this gender difference, though there were fewer men than women in the study and a smaller percentage of those men enga

The Cause of Reappearing Carpet Stains

Image
You spill something on your carpet and it leaves a stain. You clean the stain and it disappears but a few days later, you notice a spot on your carpet. You take a closer look and the stain is back! What happened? How could it reappear? There are two possibilities reasons for the reappearance: soiling or wicking. Soiling Soiling occurs when residue is left behind on the carpet fibers from the carpet cleaner used to treat the original stain. If not completely rinsed and blotted, the residue becomes sticky and attracts dirt and soil to the same spot, which can cause look like the stain has returned. Wicking The other common cause of reappearing stains is something referred to as wicking. Wicking occurs when the substance that was spilled on the carpet has soaked through into the backing of the carpet (and sometimes even the under pad). When you clean the stain, you are cleaning the surface of the carpet. But then the spill that is trapped in the backing and/
