There is nothing that brings such warmth to a home as carpets and rugs. Even most modern homes need a touch of color and texture brought by a rug. It is especially the case in cold countries like Canada. Now that winter is coming, Calgary residents are preparing by cleaning their chimneys and cleaning their carpets, so that they can snuggle by the fireplace on their lovely rugs. But, finding a high quality carpet cleaning service in Calgary requires some research, and you need to know what it that you expect from them.

Of course, not all carpet cleaning services in Calgary are the same. There are those that have been in business for many years, showing that their customers appreciate their high quality cleaning, and friendly service. The new type of carpet cleaning services are those that offer ‘green’ cleaning, using only environmentally friendly techniques and cleaning products, at the same time paying great attention not to affect the environment. Modern customers are responding well to this type of carpet cleaning service in Calgary, aware that the well-cleaned carpet, without any chemical residues, means healthy home environment.

If you are shopping for a carpet cleaning service in Calgary, make a list of requirements a perfect carpet cleaning service would provide. We are all different, and have different priorities, so your list will reflect your way of life and your life philosophy. Here are some of the priority requirements most of my friends absolutely demand:

1.      Pickup and delivery. This sounds like a small thing, but if you have big, heavy rugs and your cleaning service does not do pickups, you will have to hire a van, adding to the cost of cleaning.

2.      Non-toxic and hypoallergenic carpet cleaning products. Contemporary clients are aware of the danger of chemical pollutants and chemical residue they can leave in your carpet. Once in our home, carpets emit that residue and we breathe them, with sometimes serious consequences. One of the most dangerous is still commonly used ‘perc’, a well- known cleaning product that is slowly getting phased out in most reputable carpet cleaning services in Calgary.

3.      Quick drying time. This is particular issue with wall-to-wall carpets that are cleaned in our homes, especially if they are steam-cleaned. Some less experienced carpet cleaning services in Calgary over-saturate carpets, prolonging the drying time. If carpets are not completely dry, they can create condition for mold.

4.      ‘Green carpet cleaning services in Calgary’. This not only means that the cleaning products are ‘green’, or organic, and biodegradable, but that the company shows other signs of taking care of the environment. For example, some companies dump dirty water from steam cleaning straight into the sewage. The water can contain serious contaminants, and once in the sewage system can penetrate the water table and affect the health of wide population. ‘Green’ carpet cleaning companies in Calgary collect dirty water in the container in their truck, for later safe disposal. Another sign of a ‘green’ carpet cleaning company in Calgary is the use of ‘green’ vehicles, or hybrid, or highly fuel efficient.

5.      Prompt service. There is nothing as annoying as waiting for your carpet cleaning service in Calgary for hours, wasting your time.   Prompt service shows respect for the customers and their time.

6.      Free advice on the carpet maintenance.  This is one of the most important services good carpets cleaning service in Calgary offer, and people learn to expect. Carpets get professionally cleaned once in a year or in 18 months. In the meantime, it is up to us to take care of spots and small and bigger messes that are so common in a normal family life. Our regular carpet cleaning service in Calgary knows which products are appropriate for our carpets, and which might do more damage than use.

7.      Reasonable price. Tight economic times are forcing everyone to tighten the belt. Very few people can afford high prices of carpet cleaning, and if the price gets too high, they would simply have to go without.

Rugs are so much more than something to put on the floor. For centuries, they were an art expression in the Near East, and countries like Turkey, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan produced breathtakingly beautiful rugs that are now part of many collections and museums. They were used as an important dowry element for unmarried daughters, and, especially where there were no banks, as a way of saving for the rainy days. Families used to have piles of rugs on the floor, one on top of another, to sit or sleep on, or to sell when the money was short.

Although rugs are still made in many places the old-fashioned way, by hand, on the looms, the technological innovations made it possible to mechanize this process and make rugs that are much cheaper and affordable to everyday homeowners. Traditionally made from natural materials like wool, cotton and silk, they are now made from a range of synthetic materials, or in combination of natural and man-made fibers.

The size

Rugs are homeowners’ way of bringing a touch of color and softness to the hard floor surface.  The better quality the floor is, the smaller rug should be. High quality wood floor is beautiful in itself, and, if it is part of the original home’s architecture, should be the highlight of the room. Adding a small wool rug under the coffee table, or in other parts of the room where they would be visible, would add a touch of class to any space and a touch of color to the monochromatic color scheme.

Large rugs, whether they are natural or synthetic, do a great job of covering the floor that is not distinguished. They can be almost from wall to wall, colorful or of one color, making the space look softer, warmer and more put together.

The color

Lighter colors make rooms look larger, but are difficult to clean and maintain. Natural beige color Berber carpet looks wonderful in both modern and classical rooms, but is not a good idea in high traffic areas, or areas where kids do their regular messes.

Colorful rugs make room come alive and cheerful and do not show dirt, but do make rooms smaller, albeit cozy and pleasant. They are great choice for libraries, living rooms and dens. Antique Bukhara carpets, with their soft reds and simple patterns, give distinction to a room of any style, and make an impression even if they are relatively small.

Natural vs. synthetic

Natural materials have proved to resist time, dirt and human use for centuries and it is not unheard of to see few hundred years old carpets still decorating people’s homes. But, such great quality carpets can be pricy. Synthetic materials are popular because of their reasonable price and ease of cleaning, but can cause allergic reactions, and are not as durable as natural materials. New blends of wool and man-made fabrics are gaining popularity because they combine the durability and ease of cleaning of both fibers.

Whether you opt for a piece of antique to put on your floor, or a cheap wall-to-wall synthetic rug, you will have to make sure it is regularly cleaned. Carpet pile tends to trap dirt, dust, mites, or even other insects, and if not regularly cleaned, can affect your family’s health. Let the professionals deal with it. They can do much more thorough job, much faster and with less fuss. If the rugs are smaller, they will pick them up and clean them on their premises. Look for a reputable rug cleaner in your area and check their references. If you live in Calgary, your best bet is Oxy-Genie, a company that will take care of your home, and the environment, by using the latest green, non-toxic products.

Your home is by far the biggest investment you will ever make. You bought it to raise your family, to protect them from elements, to build memories. You make your home warm and hospitable with furniture, carpets and art. Taking care of your investment is as much your responsibility as it is taking care of your family. If you spend a large amount of money to buy the best carpet you can afford, you want to enjoy it for as long as possible. That means regular maintenance and cleaning.

Super women are out of fashion

Women have bigger problem with entrusting their home cleaning to professionals than men. They feel like it should be their job to keep the home clean. Just like it is their job to take care of children, and feeding the family, and going to work and maintaining professional status and… At some point, women need to stop trying to be superwomen and realize that the day has only 24 hours. There is no reason for women to do everything. Help is just a phone call away.

Professionals know what they are doing

Let’s face it; professionals are simply better at doing some jobs than we are. We call plumber when plumbing is not working, electrician to repair our wiring. The natural next step is to call professionals to clean our carpets and upholstery. It can be a daunting job, especially if you have wall-to-wall carpets in the entire house, or if you have expensive antique rugs. In addition, professional carpet cleaners have trained teams that can do the job much faster, with much less interruption in our daily routine.

Cleaning products

There is a range of cleaning products on the market, some of them highly toxic. Professionals, if they are well chosen and reliable, know what the best product available is and which product has bad reputation or toxicity warning. They are also aware of the latest products on the market, especially ‘green’ products that are increasingly in demand by the environmentally savvy homeowners. They also know how to dispose safely of used cleaning products without affecting the environment.

Health concerns

We might do our homework, try to chose right products, and do the cleaning to the best of our abilities. But, because we do not have access to the professional equipment, we might leave behind chemical residue, or access moisture that can linger for a long time and affect the health of our family. Some products can cause allergic reaction in sensitive people, particularly children.

Protecting valuables

Having your carpets cleaned on a regular basis by the professional’s means you will be on their maintenance schedule. Cleaning carpets on time before they become excessively dirty will protect their lifetime immensely. The professionals can also advise us on how to spot-clean between their visits and how to ensure longer life of our carpets. They are familiar with different needs of different fibers and which products should be used and which avoided in order preventing damaging our investments.

Do your homework and find the best professional carpet cleaning service in your neighborhood. Ask for references and carpet cleaning testimonials. Call other customers and learn about their experiences. If you live in Calgary, call Oxy-Genie for natural cleaning of your entire home.

Ah, there is nothing like relaxing on your sofa after hard day at work. Turn the TV or music on, get a drink and think pleasant thoughts. Well, not if the sofa smells like your dog, or if the kids spilled coke on it again. We bring our sofas and other upholstered furniture into our homes for our comfort and as an investment in the future of our property,  so we need to try to extend its life, maintain it  and keep it clean the best way we can.

Upholstery today comes in a range of fabrics and materials. The choice is huge, and fashions change, but the furniture is not getting cheaper. We are aware that our furniture will reflect our style of life and our values, so it is important that we choose high quality and great design pieces. The best furniture is made to last, so investing a bit more to buy the best we can afford will pay in the long run.

Regardless of how much we paid for it, once we bring our upholstered furniture into our home, it will be exposed to our way of life: children, dogs, messy relatives, food fights, and accidents. In best of circumstances, just by regular use, the fabric of the upholstery will get dirty and will have to be cleaned.

Since furniture is smaller than carpets, many people are tempted to clean it themselves. In fact, the risk is much greater when attempting to clean upholstery than cleaning the carpet yourself. Upholstery fabrics come in a large variety of fibers, some natural, other synthetic, they can be colored with natural dyes that are fast or are not. Your furniture can be made of jacquard fabrics, or of leather or suede, or raw silk. Sometimes you will have all necessary information about your furniture upholstery fabric, but most of the time you will have no idea what is it made of. So, in order to save few dollars, you are risking using a fabric cleaner that will make your sofa fabric shrink, or loose color in spots, or loose shape.

Professional upholstery cleaners have advantage of training and experience. They will do the research to find out what is the best method for cleaning of your particular piece of furniture. They have a range of products at hand and they know which works best with each fabric. Their experience speaks much more than any labels on the bottles. They will do sensitive pieces by hand, painstakingly removing stains and restoring the beauty of your treasures.

Professional upholstery cleaners have much more powerful machines for your upholstery cleaning, using much less water than you would, so your furniture will be back in use in just few hours. They also know which chemicals are dangerous for your health and will not expose your family to dangers of chemical residue.

If you live in Calgary, check the website of Oxy-Genie, reputable and experienced carpet and upholstery cleaners, who will happily take care of your investment for years to come. They use the latest techniques and only the safest chemicals that exist on the market.

We spend one third of our lives sleeping. So, one quality of one third of our lives depends mostly on the comfort of our mattresses. We can buy the best mattress we can afford or the best mattress available on the market, but if the mattress is not clean regularly, we open ourselves to all sorts of trouble. For our mattresses are not only hosting us, but also tiny little insects called dust mites.

Mites live among us and most of the time we are not aware of them. They are everywhere: in curtains, carpets, all kinds of upholstery, even our pillows. But the mattresses are their favorite place, because they not only offer shelter to them, but food as well. Mites have only one item on their diet: dead skin of humans, which we shed copiously, totally unaware, at the range of about two pounds per year.

So, if we do not see them, shy should we worry about mites? They do not carry any diseases and do not bite. The problems only show themselves if we are asthmatic or prone to allergies. Some people never suffer from any allergy their whole lives, but suddenly develop violent reaction to something, like peanuts or dust mites. For children and elderly, such allergic reactions can be really dangerous.

So, let’s get rid of them, you say. The problem is that we cannot completely do that, but we can make their life with us, in our mattresses or curtains or carpets so unpleasant that they leave of their own accord. They like places that are humid and warm, with plenty of food, so that is what we have to target: make our homes dry and as clean as possible.

A recent European study shows that older mattresses and poor ventilation are among the major reasons for high concentration of mites in mattresses. They also found that lower floors of a home have higher humidity and, in consequence, mattresses in lower floor rooms have more dust mites.

There are few other things we have to do if we suffer from allergic reaction to dust mites. One of them is to avoid sleeping in basement rooms, where the humidity is generally higher. Carpets should be removed from bedrooms – it is much easier to clean hard surfaces like wood or tiles. Mattresses need to be cleaned yearly and replaced every five years or so. The less often you clean them, the shorter time they will last. Good mattresses are expensive, so it is in your interest to invest a modest sum in regular cleaning than to spend much larger sum on the mattress replacement. Another good idea is to cover your mattress in a special mite-proof covering. Such covering is in fact just a tightly woven fabric, which prevents mites from getting into the mattress core. Feather pillows and duvets are normally encased in such fabric to prevent feathers from poling out, so they are naturally better choice than synthetic ones.

Cleaning mattresses should be done by professionals. We simply do not have the equipment to do the kind of cleaning that is required. It is important to avoid using any product that requires adding moisture, which mites love. Good, experienced carpet, upholstery and mattress cleaners use dry techniques or ultra-violet rays, currently the industry standard. Check your local Yellow Pages, or ask your friends, who are the mattress cleaner with the best reputation.

If you live in Calgary, call Oxy-Genie Mattress Cleaning Calgary, a company with years of experience taking care of your friends and neighbors’ carpets, mattresses and upholstery, using the latest green products. Let them make sure that your home is not welcoming to dust mites.

Having to pay for a home stager to set up your home for sale is an expense that will pay off many times over. The reports say that homes that are staged by experts sell twice as fast as those not taken care of, and for almost 17 percent more. There are numerous reasons for this, but it mostly has to do with the professional’s objective eye of what sells, what are current trends and what are the best factors of your house.

We all recall home searching and right away trying to place ourselves and our furniture in a residence we were browsing. Everybody is going through the similar fantasy, but for some reason we are not able to do this for our own house. The reason is probably that our home is for us a collection of thoughts, not a market product. We cannot objectify it sufficiently, so it is much better to let the strangers, with professional training and experience, to do the job.

How to recognize superior home stager in Calgary

Home stagers learn their business by experience. There are no educational institutions to teach them to simplify a home, or to make it more eye-catching to the largest number of customers, or to distinguish the full potential of a home. So, don’t look for diplomas. Look for pictures of homes they did for other people. If you like
you see, give them a call?
Good home stagers will have a huge list of past clients. Ask for their numbers and give them a shout. Those who were cheerful with the stagers’ job will be more than happy to converse to you. If the home stagers does not ask for the payment for the first visit, ask yourself: who can offer to use up hrs of doing what is essentially their job, without being paid. Probably people desperate for their first job! True professionals value their time and know that what they have to offer is good and will benefit you. For that, you will have to pay, and don’t resent it. It is a sign of professionalism and that is what you are searching for.

What about home furniture?

You might love your pieces of furniture, but you can take it with you. Your home that is ready for sale needs to look like a place everyone would like to exist in, not only you. That often means new, more modern, simpler home furniture. Sometimes it is necessary to bring in few luxury pieces to show off the architecture of the house. Good home stagers have their own compilation of home furniture to use for different staging situations, or they have access to within your means selection from a reputable household furniture supplier. This is priceless service and could make difference between your home being sold as an upscale property or just a collection of rooms.

What else can house stagers do for you?

Surfing around through interior decoration magazines, you often dream of proudly owning some of the features real estate, but would not know how to start, or think you could not afford them. Home stagers can adapt your existing home to be as close to your dream, with a few changes and additions that you would not even imagine of.
Home stagers can even change your home’s curb appeal, but redoing your front backyard, or adding few hard cape pieces. They have access to reputable and imaginative craftsmen that would do much better job than you would think possible.
Some professional home stagers practice the art of feng shuei and are able to rearrange your household furniture, add or remove pieces of furniture, change colors or art pieces to make your home much more livable and comfortable, although you would not be able to say why exactly.

In cold countries, tiles are normally used in wet areas, like bathrooms, kitchens and entrances, because they are so easy to clean. But, in tropical and sub-tropical countries, tiles are the natural choice because of their beauty, versatility and cool appeal. Of course, whatever your reason to put tiles on your floor, keeping them clean is as important as if you had carpet or wood floor. The floor is your interface with the outside world and, through the floor, outside germs and bacteria find their way into our lives. This is especially true if you have small children and pets. They spend a lot of time on the floor; they are short and closer to the dirt, so they are most affected if the tiles are not clean. It does not matter that they are the ones that brought the dirt in the first place.

Why have tiles?

Tiles are beautiful. They are very pleasant to walk on bare foot; they are cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They come in endless varieties, materials, sizes, patterns and colors. Most importantly, they are easy to clean.

Whatever material they are made of, tiles can be glazed or unglazed. The glazing not only affects their look, but their resistance and the way we clean them. Unglazed tiles are porous and the dirt and stains can penetrate them, changing their color and affecting them permanently. Glazed tiles are easier to maintain, but the shine is not to everyone’s taste, and they do get slippery when wet. So, they are not good for the floor, but they look great on bathroom walls, and they are a breeze to clean.

Tiles also can be textured, giving the impression of three dimensions, and look very classy and luxurious. They bring to mind old Spanish patios and colonnaded passages with a fountain in the middle. For the everyday homeowner, textured tiles mean cleaning problems. The dirt gets trapped in the indentations in the tiles, and there is no other way to clean them but on your knees, with a brush and a scrubber.

Grout is the space between the tiles, which keeps them together, working like a frame on the painting, but also as a dirt-collector. Fortunately, grout now comes colored, so it can be made to look exactly like the tile. It also can be sealed, so that the dirt does not accumulate in grout grooves.

Mosaic tiles are very fashionable option, although it has been around for thousands of years. Old mosaic floors are very valuable and need to be preserved just like a beautiful antique carpet.

Choosing the tile for your floor is very much a matter of taste and the intended use. But, before choosing the type of tiles to put on the floor, you have to make sure you know what you are getting yourself into. The tiles might be easy to clean, but each type has its own needs and before installing them, it is good idea to learn the properties of your tiles and how to make them clean and beautiful for the longest time.

If you are interested in the professional tile cleaning and you live in Calgary, contact Oxy-Genie green cleaning. You will get the professional service from a reputable company that is using only natural product, to protect your home and the environment.

Choosing the carpet for your new home, or replacing the old, worn-out carpet can be great fun for the whole family. But, before spending a lot of money on this serious investment, you need to do a bit of homework. Choosing the wrong carpet can be a costly mistake, so choose carefully.

Are you a fashionable?

Like other elements of interior decoration, carpets are susceptible to fashion dictates. If you are sensitive to what fashion demands, you will be changing your carpets more often, so it is not a good idea to spend a lot of money.

Who lives with you?

Carpets can be luxurious pieces of art on your floor, or they can be just covering the ugly old wood floor, so before deciding which of the two you need, look at who lives with you and what they do on your carpet. If you have babies who crawl and sleep on your floor, you have to make sure that the carpet is comfortable, so they do not irritate soft baby skin, easy to clean – there will  be throw-ups and spill-ups for sure,  and non-allergenic. Kids with asthma can be highly sensitive to allergens trapped in the carpet.

Are you in your home for the duration?

If you are planning to stay in your home for a long time, you would be justified in covering your rooms with fitted carpets, installed by professionals, nicely stretched and stain-treated. Make an arrangement with your local carpet cleaner to come regularly and protect your investment. Of course, different rooms will have different needs, so do not install light colored or expensive carpets where there is a lot of traffic. Keep your best carpets for the rooms where they can show their beauty the best and where they will have a chance to last longer.

What kinds of carpets exist?

The basic choice is between natural and man-made carpets. Natural – wool, cotton and silk – carpets are more expensive, but more beautiful and often more durable than the synthetic ones. There is a huge range of man-made carpets, and the new trend is to mix synthetics and wool, and combine beauty and resilience.

Fitted, rug or carpet tiles?

Fitted carpets were all the rage for a while, and then the fashion changed and now it is in to show the good wood floor. That does not mean that you should throw away your lovely fitted carpet if it is still in good shape and has no significant stains. You can always put a small run over it. Rugs are perfect solution if you have beautiful wood floors that are part of your home’s style and architecture. You might be able to afford a real piece of art, or an antique rug, if you are only looking for a small piece to put under the coffee table. Carpet tiles are a fantastic invention for high-traffic areas, especially in the places where spills and messes are to be expected (kids’ rooms, for example). They are rubber-backed, so are great solutions for areas with un-insulated floors like basements. You can have great fun with them, by combining colors, putting them in different patterns. You can even let kids play with them. While you are at it, teach them to replace damaged tiles, once they get really dirty or damaged.

The best piece of advice before embarking on an adventure of buying a carpet is not to skimp on price. This is one saving that will come back to haunt you. Cheap carpets do not last, look bad quickly, get stained fast and will not give credit to your lovely home. Save on other things, like the new car.

Whatever carpet you choose, don’t forget that you will have to clean it; otherwise it will affect your health. Look for a good, reliable and reputable carpet cleaner in your area and make a service arrangement with them. Try to find a cleaner that uses environmentally friendly materials.

You may have the most beautiful house on the block, with the most expensive, latest furniture, but if your carpet is dirty, the whole house will look shabby and unloved. Carpet is the larges surface, beside walls, that affects the way your home looks. On the other hand, that large expanse of wool, cotton, silk or synthetic fiber is a perfect collector for dirt, germs and pests. Your health might literally depend on the cleanliness of your carpet.

Many people are tempted to do the carpet cleaning themselves. Machines are easily available and do not look too difficult to use. How little do we know? First, carpet cleaning is a messy business. Machines that are available for rental are not powerful enough to suck away all the water you use, so you end up with wet carpet for a long time and a potential for mold.

Professional carpet cleaners in Calgary have powerful, often truck-mounted machines that can do the job much faster and much more efficiently than we can. If we resent the price they charge, we have just to think how expensive such machines are. Think also about the stubborn dirt particles that our rental machines would not even begin to tackle. Professional machines have much more power for such a job.

We often do not know about the latest technologies that exist for carpet cleaning, such as ultraviolet lamps or oxygenators, or the latest cleaning products that are not toxic for us or for the environment. Even if we do know about them, they are or too expensive, as is the case with machines, or not available to the public, as many professional cleaning solutions are not.

The excess of water and cleaning liquid from our dirty carpet is often toxic and should not be disposed of down the drain. It would pollute the water tables and hurt our health in the long run. Professionals keep special tanks in their trucks for this purpose, and dispose of toxic dirty water in an ecologically healthy way.

Sometimes it is necessary to remove carpet from home and send it to the cleaner’s plant. Good professional cleaners in Calgary would remove the carpet without damaging our furniture, and would put it back with a minimum interruption of our everyday lives.

If you clean your carpets regularly, you will immensely extend their lives. Carpet fiber needs to breath, and if it is full of dirt, it is choked in dust and often pests, which slowly affect the fabric and damage it. This is particularly important with valuable wool or silk carpets that are family heritage.

Your regular professional carpet cleaner will become your friend and will be able to advise you on carpet maintenance and how to prolong its life. They know carpets and know what you can do to clean stain spots for each particular type of carpet.

If you in Calgary, you are lucky to be able to use the services of one of the best carpet cleaning companies in the country – Oxy-Genie. This company is proud of its reputation and its years of care of customers’ homes. Their customers respond by recommending them highly to their friends and neighbors.
