Has your home lost it's luster? Make Your Home Feel Like New




 Update Your Home, No Renovations Necessary

Remember how nice it felt to come into your home on move-in day? Everything was clean and new and the possibilities felt endless. Chances are your home feels a lot more rundown these days and renovations and major changes are not really damage you want done to your bank account. Here are some ways you can recapture that “new home” feel without going full Chip and Joanna Gaines.  

Spruce up the outside

Your home’s exterior sets the scene for how any visitors (or even you!) will feel upon entering your home. Are your trees, shrubs, and plants going a little wild? Dedicate a weekend to giving everything a trim. Many home improvement stores offer equipment rentals, too, if your landscaping needs are a little more intense. Hiring a pressure washer or renting a unit yourself will give your driveway, sidewalk, and siding a fresh look, too!

Make small but mighty interior updates

Completely revamping rooms or entire floors of your home is guaranteed to make things feel brand new again, but that comes with a whopping price tag. Making small updates or additions will give rooms a new look with minimal cost and labor involved. In bathrooms and kitchens, swap out knobs and pulls on cabinets, install new faucets and lighting fixtures, or maybe splurge on new appliances or toilets. (That might help your energy bill, too!) Any room can be transformed with just a coat of paint, and updating decor can be an easy and effective facelift throughout your home.

Get “next level” cleaning done

Candles, spot cleaners, and weekly vacuuming can only cover up so much. Let Carpet Dryclean pamper your home with carpet and area rug cleaning. Put away the masking scents and purify your home with a deep down natural cleaning service. Does your upholstery need more than a good cleaning? We also offer furniture cleaning service that will help get those fabric and fibers back to shape.

Make your home feel like-new and fall in love with it all over again with these tips!

Does vacuuming count as carpet cleaning?

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. When millions of Americans suffer from indoor allergies , air quality is a huge issue. To keep the air in your home clean, it's important to follow a few carpet-cleaning rules. Namely: Call professionals to clean your carpet, more often than you think you should. We would recommend cleaning the

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

Picking the Perfect Area Rug

Kathy McCleary gets advice from decorating experts on choosing the perfect area rug to complement your home. By: Kathy McCleary When we moved a few months ago from our fairly small, thoroughly carpeted house to our new home, we were thrilled with the lovely old oak floors. We had the floors cleaned and polished before we moved in, and have lived with the rich, warm glow of the bare wood ever since. But now it's starting to get cold, we're all inside more and the kids (and the cats) are skidding crazily through the hallways when they run in the house. Also, it bothers me that my voice echoes even in the relatively small space of my office. It's definitely time to buy some area rugs. I've never purchased a rug in my life and have the feeling that it's like buying a car: The less you know the more you pay. I called three different experts for advice on where to begin. While they disagreed on just a few points (most notably whether or not the rug should
