No More Brushing It Under The Rug

Your area rugs need cleaned. Whether they are permanently placed handed down family heirlooms, or they change with the seasons, cleaning your area rugs will not only keep them free of dirt and allergens, it also will extend their life.

Regular vacuuming certainly helps. The number of times per week you should vacuum is really based on the traffic on that rug. If your rug is in an entryway, for example, you should vacuum it every day or two. When vacuuming, raise to the highest setting to protect the rug pile. If it is a small enough rug, you will want to flip it over and vacuum the underside to loosen any trapped dirt.

Even with daily care, fibers get compressed and dirt and odors get trapped. This can eventually lead to those fibers breaking down, making your carpet not only look but actually become worn.

Professionally cleaning your area rugs is important for a number of reasons. First, odors can get trapped in the fibers of your area rug, and vacuuming cannot remove those. Often carpet cleaning solutions either mask odors, or in the case of rugs with fragile fibers, it can do more harm than good.

The same goes for stains. Treating stains with a commercial stain remover is not ideal, simply because these products are difficult to rinse out and can leave a stain of their own when they dry. If you get a stain on your area rug, the best thing to do is treat it right away with a gentle product like Woolite. Use as little product as possible and call a professional carpet cleaning service. We have very specific products to use on your rugs to not only get them clean and fresh but also to remove any stains and odors. Remember, the longer you wait to treat stains, the harder they are to completely remove.

Area rugs are a great way to add color to a room, protect carpet or warm up a hard floor surface. Choose True Clean Carpet and Tile for professional residential carpet cleaning, Columbus, Ohio

All About Grout

Everyone loves the look of a beautiful tile floor. Tile also is practical, durable and a real showstopper in any home or business. That said, for those of us with these lovely floors in our homes, we’ve all had those Cinderella moments…you know the one…hands and knees, toothbrush in hand, scrubbing the grout that just seems to grab onto dirt and won’t let go. It can be a daunting task.

Professional tile and grout cleaning can be your tile floor’s fairy godmother. The secret solution we use gets grout sparkling clean and looking new again. Not only does it enhance the tile, it can brighten the whole room. It is amazing how clean grout can make such a big difference, but it does.

While carpet can hold dirt and allergens, tile grout can hold bacteria and mold, especially in areas that are prone to wetness like bathrooms, kitchens and entryways. It is recommended that you clean your floors at least once per week. While you can use a commercial product, it is important that you consider the ingredients you are using with children and pets in your home. If you have a steam cleaner, that is a great way to do regular floor cleaning. Seasonally, though, it is important to professionally clean and sanitize your tile floors and grout. This can make a big impact in the overall health of you and your family….and the life of your floors. Oh and by the way, we can do your shower, too!

Businesses such as retail stores, medical practices, hospitals and large office buildings often showcase beautiful tile floors. With all of the foot traffic coming in and out, it is important that these floors are cleaned on a more frequent basis. Not only do high traffic areas show dirt, that dirt, bacteria and mold is carried to other parts of the building on the bottom of people’s shoes. Professional grout and tile cleaning can help businesses not only look better but be healthier as well.

At True Clean Ohio, we use products that are highly effective and safe for tile surfaces, people and pets. Our experienced team will transform your tile and grout, leaving you with sparkling floors and tile surfaces.
