Cedar Hill Carpet Cleaning offers tips on Carpet Repairs

Cedar Hill Carpet Repair Company, Christine Snyder owner of Snyder’s Carpet Care offers tips on how to keep your carpets in excellent shape.

If you are like most people a big stain or damage to your carpet has you believing that your entire room of carpeting is destroyed. When the home is wall to wall carpeting it can throw homeowners into a further panic. There are many solutions that can help you save your carpet, either do-it- yourself solutions or by calling your carpet cleaning professional.

• Stains- One of the keys to stains is early removal. Blot the stain with a clean wet rag, keep using the wet towel until you no longer see the stain in the towel. Different stains may require different techniques.  A mild spot remover can help but call your carpet cleaning professional to find out what they recommend.  To much detergent can cause residue and dirt is attracted to residue making the carpet look like it has a big spot when in fact it it just left over soap in the carpet.

• Patching Burns or Holes- Often thought of as unfixable, burns or holes can be handled by your carpet cleaning company. A burn will first be cleaned, trimmed and then patched. Often a patch can be obtained from an old sample of the carpet or taken from a closet or hidden spot. Please note, for that occasional stain that is impossible to get out patching may be a solution.
• Carpet Seams- Unfortunately, if a carpet is not installed properly seams may start to show up after time. Your carpet cleaning professional can handle this as well. Seams will only grow worse over time and can lead to tripping and unnecessary injuries.
• Wax stains can be removed by using a low set iron over a very wet white towel. (Test your carpet first for heat resistance in a closet or hidden place.) If the wax was dark colored you will need to discuss this with your carpet cleaning professional. Some colored wax will die the carpet and can be hard to remove. Tip: Do not let the towel dry out and do not leave the iron on the carpet for too long because it can cause delamination if not done properly.
• Remodeling- Have you remodeled and pulled up some of the carpeting or had flood damage and needed to pull up the carpet? You can have a service called power- stretching, which includes properly tacking the carpet down. For you do-it-your-selfer’s there is a tool you can rent to help you stretch your carpet or remove wrinkles. Tip: When doing carpet stretching your self their is a technic to applying the proper pressure to the carpet as it is stretched, if not done properly you can rip and ruin your carpet.  A good carpet cleaning company and or installer will repair your carpet properly and with the proper tools; and will guarantee that it is done correctly and save you a lot of time and hassle.
• Pet Stains- These should be removed immediately. Do not for instance, leave vomit with digestive acids, sitting on your carpet. If you are noticing a particular color of the vomit such as red you may want to try changing the pet food to a more natural color.  Pet stains can be a homeowners worst night mare.  Leaving them in the carpet is not good.  The best tip is to get a wet towel and get up as much of the urine as possible then always keep a spray bottle mix of vinegar and water and apply to the stain and blot that as well.  The vinegar will help kill bacteria and help with smell and is natural so will not harm your animals. Please call me with additional tip on removing Pet Urine Stains.  972-898-3886

Spirit Of Texas “Product Of The Month”

Arlington Hardwood Flooring Company, Christine Snyder agent of Carpet Direct offers expertise advice on hardwood flooring.

When it comes to choosing your hard wood flooring a lot of considerations need to be made. For this reason Carpet Direct would like to start featuring a “Product of the Month”. This month the featured product is Alamo Hand Scraped wood flooring.

Inspired by the rustic look and feel of Texas, has designed this product in an attempt to bring style and design options to the flooring consumer. Alamo flooring is hand scraped. Normally, hard wood floors are “scraped” by factory machines; creating a symmetrical look on the lines of the hardwood. Alamo is hand scraped by artisans giving it rustic chatters (grooves) and abrasions; perfect for homes that are going for a rustic yet elegant look.  Alamo is also made from hickory wood, known to be tough and durable. Over time the chatters will deepen a bit, enhancing the uniqueness of the wood.
Hardwood Flooring at Structure begins with a firm commitment to sustainable practices. They use only green-certified materials in their series of stunning hardwood flooring created to be as responsible as they are beautiful and authentic.

An Arlington Texas Carpet Direct Flooring Company points out the key benefits of Alamo Flooring:
