We love to do carpet cleaning in Alpine City, so we were happy for the opportunity to participate in their recent fun run.
The day was beautiful, the turn-out was great, and we all had a load of fun!
Take a look at the video below, which shows some participants from AJS Carpet Cleaning, Inc. and scenes along the route.
Victor is in the gray sweat suit with red stripes. He came in third in his age group.
Alpine is a beautiful city. The residents are wonderful, friendly people, and we look forward not only to next year’s fun-run, but also to continuing to provide carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning to them throughout the year.
Myth #1: Many Utah Valley residents believe that they should wait as long as possible to clean their carpet or upholstery.
This was true many years ago when shampooing was the primary method of carpet cleaning. Even now a days, many homeowners receive poor cleaning jobs by low priced carpet cleaners that soak their carpet with highly alkaline cleaning agents that cause all of the spots to return shortly after the cleaning. Besides, the carpet is often left filled with residue, which will cause it to get dirty FAST. However, if carpet is cleaned correctly, it should be rinsed residue free and dried within 8 hours. Your carpet and upholstery will last much longer and look beautiful after proper cleaning.
Myth #2: Your carpet and rugs should only be cleaned when they look dirty.
Your carpet is a fabric just like the sheets on your bed. Do you wait until your sheets LOOK dirty before you wash them? Of course not! Every day you are tracking grease, dirt, pollen, dust, and outdoor pollutants onto your carpet and upholstery, which are made to hide these contaminants. If you wait until it looks dirty, there will have been an extreme soil build up by then. Every carpet and rug manufacturer recommends professional cleaning at least every 12-24 months. If you’ve been using it for two years and it looks clean, it still needs cleaning to maintain a good appearance.
Myth #3: One method of carpet cleaning is as good as another.
Here are some important facts that we at AJS Carpet Cleaning, Inc. have discovered. The dry-cleaning methods-which are dry foam, dry chemicals, carbonation, and dry compound–do not rinse your carpet with water. Carpet makers for residential carpet rarely recommend these methods. Instead, they recommend hot water extraction from a truck mounted cleaning unit. Hot water extraction means a hot water cleaning solution, under pressure, is forced into your carpet and then sucked out of your home. We have found that truck mounted cleaning works well, but has a drawback with carpet and rugs being left wet for too long. So, we have invested in the “Drimaster” rotary head, which attaches to our truck-mounted machine and removes 98% of moisture while cleaning your carpet. This system works better than any we have used in the 10 years we’ve been in business.
Myth #4: Bleach is a good stain remover.
Wrong!
Bleach is not good for your carpet or upholstery as it bleaches all colors. If your carpet has any nylon, the fiber will turn yellow. If the fiber is wool (as in a wool rug), the fiber will actually dissolve. Furthermore, pouring bleach on a carpet can cause the backing to separate and will cause the carpet fibers to fall out.
DON’T USE BLEACH ON YOUR CARPET.
Myth #5: There is a space-age revolutionary stain remover that will remove any stain and odor in carpet.
Wrong again! There is no universal solvent or stain remover that you can safely and effectively use on your carpet or upholstery.
We carry at least 12 different spot removers on our truck when we come out to clean your carpet. Each spot remover works better on different types of stains. As well, there are completely different cleaning agents used for pet odor problems. If there was one “all purpose cure” to stains, it would be sold to professional cleaning companies for $100 a gallon and we would purchase 55 gallons drums of it. However, it doesn’t exist. Take my word for it.
