Carpet Cleaning Services in Encino

There is no denying the fact that professional carpet cleaning services do a much more thorough job as they take into account the carpet material while choosing the right type of cleaning solution. It is important for you to know that not all kinds of detergents and cleaners can be used on all surfaces. For instance, sulfates do not react well with fine rug and you will need to use some other cleaning solution to get good results.

Here at Pacific Carpet Care, we offer dry carpet cleaning, wet carpet cleaning as well as hot water extraction. All of these are excellent options for thorough carpet cleaning but the choice of cleaning method depends on specific application.

This type of carpet cleaning technique is extremely useful in getting rid of the compacted dirt in the carpets. It not only helps in getting rid of the dirt but also helps in giving a completely new look to your carpet. In this method, the fibers of the carpets are gently agitated which lifts the dirt trapped deep in the carpet fibers. This leads to thorough cleaning of carpet which in turn revives the vibrant shades in there.

This technique is particularly useful for older carpets and where dry carpet cleaning does not give adequate results. This technique can be used anywhere in your home including the staircase carpet. In this type of cleaning, the cleaning solution is chosen based on the type of carpet in the home. The pH balance of the water is adjusted to ensure safe cleaning.

We use alkaline water for treating synthetic rugs whereas slightly more acidic water is used for natural or wood fibers. However, you should know that it takes time for the moisture to completely evaporate in case of wet cleaning. We use high quality, professional, and industrial strength equipment which means your carpet will dry much faster as compared to the drying time required by commercially available wet vacuums.

In this type of cleaning, specific cleaning chemicals are used for freshening up and deodorizing the carpet. These specific cleaning agents break down dirt and other things entangled in the carpet fibers which can then be removed with the help of a vacuum. This cleaning technique is a great option for spring cleaning of carpets or rugs in low traffic areas.

One of the biggest benefits of this carpet cleaning technique is that it takes much less time as your floors are ready to be used again almost instantly once the cleaning is done. This type of cleaning technique is preferred in industrial and retail locations where they cannot wait for too long for carpet to dry.

A combination of hot water and high water pressure is used for enhancing the effectiveness of cleaning detergent. Our truck mounted machines are capable of heating water up to 150 degrees C or 300 degrees F. It's a superior method for thorough cleaning of carpets. It is typically used for target cleaning of carpets. It works great for carpets where there are chemical stains, pet stains or stains that keep reappearing. Steam cleaning combined with the right detergent is a great way to deodorize and restore your carpets.

The Frequency of Carpet Cleaning

When it comes to carpet cleaning, it is important for you to keep in mind that commercially available vacuums are great for getting rid of the visible dirt on the surface of your carpet but these are simply inadequate for removing the dirt trapped inside the deeper layers of the carpet. Also, the commercially available vacuums are not capable of getting rid of stains or allergens in the carpet.

It is recommended to get your carpet professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. You should get it cleaned more frequently in case the carpet is used in a retail setting where thousands of people step on it on any given day or in case you have a much bigger family.

Steam cleaning needs to be done carefully as improper use may lead to moisture retention on the surface of the carpet which will wear down and rip up the delicate fibers of the carpet. Here at Pacific Carpet Care, we ensure that minimal amount of moisture is left when we are done with the cleaning.

Here is a list of some of the additional factors you should consider in order to decide the carpet cleaning frequency:

Foot Traffic: It is one of the biggest factors that determines the frequency of professional carpet cleaning. Carpets in retail locations and in houses with large families will require cleaning much more frequently as compared to a single person household.

Pet Stains: It's extremely difficult to get rid of pet stains. The pheromones in the pet stains will keep lingering even after you are unable to detect the odor. Your pet will keep staining that particular area until it is completely deodorized.

Wine Stains: It's not easy to get rid of wine stains. The pigments in the wine are related to the anthocyanin family and their color depends on the pH. Anthocyanin is known for aggressively adhering to the fibers and this is the reason these are also used for making fabric dyes. Here at Pacific Carpet Care, we will ensure use of the right type of cleaner with the right pH in order to get rid of this pigment and extract it with hot water extraction technique.

As far as the commonly used materials for household and retail carpets is concerned, most carpets are made using wood, polypropylene, nylon and polyester. All of these have their own advantages.

Polyester is tough and long lasting with the ability to retain bright colors but it's also relatively easy to clean and vacuum. On the other hand, nylon does not get stained easily and is the ideal material for carpets in high traffic areas. If you want an organic material, you should go with wool as it is completely natural but it also holds more moisture as compared to other synthetic fibers. Polypropylene is a popular choice as it resists water-based stains.

All these materials have unique properties which need to be taken into account when it comes to cleaning and deodorizing. Wrong cleaning detergent may cause permanent damage to the carpet.

Upholstery Cleaning in Encino CA

It is typically focused on home furniture. These days, upholstered furniture is in high demand due to their style and comfort. Cushions made with foam are typically enclosed in a leather or fabric to make upholstered furniture. Upholstered furniture may seem straightforward but cleaning it can be a highly complicated process in case different types of materials are used to make the complete piece of furniture. Cleaning upholstery requires the same meticulousness as required for cleaning carpets.

In this case, preparation is done to protect the surrounding furnishings and then, a pretreatment is applied which is then followed by a pre-spot.

The equipment required for thorough upholstery cleaning tends to be expensive and this is the reason, most retail locations and households use our services as our services tend to be more cost-effective. In case of upholstery cleaning, a cleaning solution along with steam is used to do the cleaning. Detergent containing sulfates is activated with the help of steam which brings the dirt and oil trapped in the upholstery fibers to the surface.

Once this is done, a solution is used to cover the entire piece of furniture and the solution is then sucked off with the help of a vacuum attachment. In simple terms, the solution acts like a dirt carrier. Once the cleaning is done, the upholstery will remain slightly damp for some time and it will take a couple of hours for it to completely dry.

If you are concerned about use of water for cleaning of upholstery, you should rest assured that we follow the instructions given by the manufacturer of your furniture to ensure structural integrity of upholstered furniture. For instance, if the letter W is tagged to a piece of furniture, it means that water can be used for cleaning. On the other hand, if a piece of furniture is tagged with S, it means that we need to use non-water-based solvent. The cushion covers can be typically washed as per the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

The upholstered pieces of furniture in your house should be cleaned on a regular basis in order to get rid of the compacted dirt and accumulated allergens such as dust mites and pet dander. However, it has been observed that many people do not take the time to preserve their upholstered furniture, and instead, allow it to get dingy-looking and replace it. Keep in mind that right care can keep your upholstered furniture looking like new for many years and you won't need to replace it for many decades, if cleaned regularly. It is recommended to get your upholstered furniture cleaned professionally at least once or twice a year. In case you do not have any pets in your home, this frequency is fine. However, if there are children or pets in your home, you need to clean the upholstered furniture at least three times a year. If you're wondering whether there is a way to figure out what is the right time to call a professional cleaner for your upholstered furniture, this is what you need to do. Take a cotton towel and rub it gently on the arms and back of the upholstered furniture. If the cotton towel comes out smudged and grey, your furniture needs good thorough cleaning.

Tile and Grout Cleaning Services

You might have noticed that the tile grout in your home town develops filthy appearance quickly. To understand the process, you need to know how the tile grout becomes so filthy and why you need professional cleaning services.

Grout is the name given to the material that lies between the tiles. It is a highly porous material which means it's an excellent surface for grime, bacteria and dirt. It may seem unintuitive but one of the main reasons for filthy grout is the cleaning method typically used by homeowners. Whenever homeowners notice filth on the grout, they take their favorite divergent and start cleaning it but the dirty mop water keeps the grout discolored. When the dirty mop water gets evaporated with time, a fine film of dirt is left behind that keeps accumulating with time.

Thorough cleaning of grout and tile is a tedious process and it's unlikely you will get it as clean as you want on your own. Here at Pacific Carpet Care, we specialize in tile and grout cleaning. We ensure that you will get completely new -looking floors once we are done with the cleaning. Our cleaning process will restore the aesthetics of your dirty tiles.

Keep in mind that professional cleaning will also get rid of the dangers of bacteria and mold in your tiles in addition to restoring the original look of your tiles. Bacteria and mold can be dangerous, especially if there are children in your home who spend a lot of time on the floor. Steam cleaning will create an almost sterile and clean surface.

Another important thing you need to keep in mind is that choice of wrong cleaner can do a lot of damage to your tiles. For instance, ceramic needs a different cleaner than granite. A separate disinfectant is needed for cleaning natural stone flooring to prevent discoloration. We are aware of these factors and understand the need to use different types of cleaners to do the job without any damage.

Encino Oriental & Fine Rug Cleaning Services

Oriental and fine rugs are a conversation starter for visitors and tell a lot about the personality of your home. Needless to say, these are also expensive. Fine rugs are hand tied and each strand in a fine rug is made meticulously. If you have an Oriental rug in your room, it speaks for your creative and decorative vision. Our professional cleaning services will ensure that your Oriental and fine rugs are taken care of in the perfect manner.

A well-made fine rug is designed to last for decades but basic carpet care is needed to keep you expensive floor covering looking great for many years. It is recommended to rotate the rug on a regular basis to prevent excessive wear on a particular side. In order to preserve the intricate designs and colors of your Oriental rug, keep it away from sunlight as much as possible. The pigments in the Oriental rugs will fade much more quickly due to exposure to sunlight.

When you are vacuuming the Oriental rug, take care to not go over the side fringes as these fringes may get caught in the vacuum's sweeper. In the unfortunate event of a stain on your rug, it is recommended to blot out the excess liquid with the help of a cloth and then, use a club soda to loosen the stain. Club soda is gentle and won't do any damage to the fibers of your rug. Once you are done, the professionals at Pacific Carpet Care will take over the cleaning of your rug and ensure that it is cleaned in the right manner.

We ensure that every single Oriental and fine rug is individually assessed in order to determine the origins of the fibers used for making the rug. It's an extremely important step and it's done to ensure that there is no damage done during the cleaning and rejuvenation process. We specialize in cleaning of Oriental rugs from varied origins including Asian, Afghani, Turkish, Pakistani as well as handmade carpets.
