What happens to my furniture during the carpet cleaning process?

Most companies usually offer sofa cleaning together with the carpet services.

Certain odors are coming from my carpet. What to do?

The smells can come from a number of sources. If it's not caused by children or pets, usually this is evidence of mold or rot. You can try removing them with home remedies such as vinegar and baking soda in water. If that doesn't work, Carpet Cleaning Sylmar also offers odor removal services for carpets and rugs.

How can I protect my carpet?

Water, sun and mold are the main enemies of carpets. If you can protect them from these elements, you will enjoy them for years and you will also enjoy your health. Don't keep Persian rugs exposed to the sun for long. Avoid putting heavy furniture over them. Don't forget that carpet maintenance will help you keep fibers clean and free of bacteria. If you are dealing with water damage, take care of the problem right away to avoid mold expansion.

What do I do to prevent stain and dirt from soiling my carpet?

You have to have house rules pertaining to your rug or carpet. This is especially true if you have young kids, pets and frequent house guests. The most important rule that you need to enforce is the prohibition of using outdoor shoes on rugs and carpeted rooms. You can use soft rubber soled sandals or just socks. You can also remind your kids and guests to be careful when handling drinks and food with sauces or soups.
