DIY Carpet Cleaning Kent, Stow, Hudson Ohio

Excel — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 12:04:46 +0000

Here is an article I copied from consumer reports, for those who may need a DIY machine in between professional cleanings. Enjoy!

KUSA – We spent more than $3 billion in just one year on professional carpet and upholstery cleaning. But you can save a lot of money if you want to tackle the task on your own. Just in time for spring cleaning, Consumer Reports tested eight carpet-cleaning machines from Bissell and Hoover. Prices ranged from $80 to $400. Testers also evaluated a rental machine. For comparison, they hired a professional service, too.

Testing carpet-cleaning machines is a dirty job. First, testers evenly spread a measured amount of topsoil over the carpet. Next, they spray it with water, and then use a heavy roller to press in the dirt, much like foot traffic does. Testers then vacuum the dried dirt and use a device called a colorimeter to measure the amount left on each rug.

Afterwards it is time to put the carpet-cleaning machines to work. Each one passes over the soiled area 20 times. Last step, the colorimeter measures the difference.

No home machines or rented ones did as good a job cleaning as the professional service. You can really see the difference when comparing the professional cleaning to the lowest scoring carpet cleaner, the $80 Bissell QuickSteamer 1770.

Consumer Reports also tested cleaning solutions and spot cleaners. For carpet-cleaning machines, if a cleaning solution is not specified, try the top-rated Fresh Solutions Allergen Complete cleaner. It costs about $17.

If you are just looking to do some spot cleaning, testers recommend the Bissell OxyPro Carpet Spot and Stain Remover that costs about $5.

Carpet Cleaning Kent Ohio- How Excel moves your furniture!

Excel — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 11:55:50 +0000

Customers often ask us how we can possibly move their furniture when Excel cleans their carpet or tile. While some furniture can be cumbersome to a one or even two person carpet cleaning crew, we can move most furniture with relative ease. Most living room furniture is simply slid out from its original position, cleaned under, replaced and legs blocked or tabbed for protection. Heavier or weaker items may need to have sliders placed underneath the legs to allow ease of movement. Some items, such as china cabinets, curios, will need to be emptied by the client before we move them. Rarely, there are items even we cannot move while cleaning carpet. Such items include King beds, large dressers or armours, and some sectional sofas/pit groups. Excel offers a discounted empty room rate for carpet cleaning if you move the furniture out of the room before we arrive! If you have any questions before your carpet cleaning appointment, feel free to call the experts at Excel for any questions.

Stow Ohio’s Winterized Carpet Cleaners!

Excel — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 13:46:35 +0000

At Excel, we care about your home as much as we do our own. So there are a few extra steps we take in the winter time to make sure your carpet cleaning appointment is just as easy on your home as in the warmer months. First off, our vans are equipped with snow shovels and salt, if needed. Our vans also carry on-board water, so in most cases, hooking up to an outside faucet for carpet cleaning is unnecessary. Our carpet cleaning technician will also place floor and corner protectors in your home to protect them from hoses, equipment, and dripping water from the snow outside. All equipment and hoses are cleaned between each job to ensure they are clean as well. Once our carpet cleaning equipment is set up, a sleeve will be placed around your door to prevent heat from escaping, and cold air from entering your home. Wintertime carpet cleaning in Stow, Kent, and Hudson Ohio is just as easy on your home as the warmer Ohio months. Call Stephanie today at 330-678-5408 to schedule an appointment!
