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.

Autumn Home Cleaning Tips Get ready for the colder months with these cleaning tips. When you think of a deep clean, namely a spring cleaning, you may consider it as a rare annual event. A thorough home clean where you pull everything apart, get into those nooks and crannies, and hope it will last a year or so. Right?

  Carolina football season is here! Whether you’re cheering on the Wolf Pack, the Heels, the Devils, or the Panthers, “football party” is a welcome addition to anyone’s weekend plans. Before you break out your secret wing sauce, dip or chili, here are some things you can do to ensure your football party is off to a roaring success. Do A Little Pre-Game House Work Before your party guests arrive, make sure your humble abode is ready, inside and out. Clear your walkways/drives of any leaves or lawn debris, and make sure all of your outdoor lighting is ready to light the way to your guests’ vehicles when the game is over.

Inside your home, make sure you have an open inviting atmosphere to view the big games. Provide plenty of seating for those football fans and make sure their food and drinks ha...

Believe it or not Fall is here and that means temperatures are going to get cooler. Most of us are looking forward to our favorite pumpkin flavored things and the coming holidays. Leaving behind the scorching heat, bugs, and humidity might make you think you’re about to be in the all-clear for allergies and irritants. Not so fast! Here are some things you need to continue to guard yourself, your family, and your home against this fall. Keep the Outdoors OUT Even though the weather is changing, some allergens continue to pose a threat to your well-being. If you’re especially prone to severe allergic reactions to things like ragweed pollen, limit your time outdoors.
