Care Tips for Extending the Longevity of your Carpet

ALL STAR BLOG Care Tips for Extending the Longevity of your Carpet Keeping your carpet clean isn’t an easy task – pets, children, spills – life happens. Instead of fretting over your carpet, here are some simple tips to extend the longevity of your carpet’s life: 1. Vacuum your carpet three times a week with a high-efficiency particulate air filter, or a HEPA vacuum. Investing in a good vacuum will set the groundwork for long-term maintenance. 2. Handle stains with care – when something is spilled, make sure to remove as much of it as possible before blotting it with a clean white cloth. Attempting to “scrub” it will simply push it further into the carpet. 3. Rearrange your furniture. This will even out the amount of wear particularly spots in your carpet receive. This will prevent areas from becoming treaded so frequently that they create a discolouration. 4. Call a carpet cleaning professional – Natural Carpet Care. Carpet that goes without a deep-clean for an extended period of time can be carrying grime, mites, and bacteria. Your carpets will look noticeably cleaner- you might be surprised at the colour before and after. But it’s more than just appearances – choosing a deep clean for your carpets is a choice for better health. Removing dander, allergens, and bacteria will help you and your family breath and sleep easier. It will also help your home to feel clean, smell great, and look polished. Our environmentally friendly carpet cleaning methods will ensure the safety of your children and pets is being protected. Investing in carpet cleaning is much more cost-effective than investing in carpet replacement. We’ll leave your carpets cleaner, drier, healthier. Trust Natural Carpet Care – your carpet cleaning...

3 DIY Projects You Should Leave   to the Professionals

ALL STAR BLOG 3 DIY Projects You Should Leave to the Professionals To be a jack of all trades has become very popular in 2015 – from DIY weddings, home reno, cake art, and more. Pinterest has completely revolutionized everything as a potential project – and there’s realistically a youtube video for anything you would like to learn. Does this mean that you will be very successful? Not necessarily. There are some jobs that you should simply leave to the professionals. 1. Plumbing There’s a good reason why plumbers are paid so well – they have a very specific skill set. Clearing a clog or fixing a toilet seat is one thing – backups and damaging piping are another. Consult a professional. 2. Electrical Switching out a light bulb? No problem. Delving into complex electric wires to find out what that one switch in your house turns on? Not the best idea. Playing around can lead to electric shock or even fire – consult a professional. 3. Carpet Cleaning What part of your home gets the most wear, and the least amount of attention? Your carpet, of course. Dust and dirt can build-up over time and make your home look dingy or even musty. Without proper care, your carpets can soak up smells, allergens, and stains that cannot be removed by vacuuming alone. Trust your carpet cleaning in Toronto to the professionals at Natural Carpet Care. Once a season, give some affection to the part of your home that needs it the most – your carpet. A home healthy study concludes that Chem-Dry’s Hot Carbonation extraction system removes 98.1% of common household allergens. We use a patented hot-carbonating extraction system to remove particles from the very base of your carpet. We extract with microscopic co2 bubbles to penetrate and remove dirt from your carpet. We protect your carpet and leave your home feeling brand new again, with 80% less water than a standard steam cleaner. This means no detergents, allergens, or domestic “steam-cleaning” machines that can cause mold to build up as your carpet slowly dries.

How To Clean Coffee Spills And Stains | A    Guide By All Star Chem-Dry

ALL STAR BLOG How To Clean Coffee Spills And Stains | A Guide By All Star Chem-Dry Did you ever notice how coffee spills always happen at the worst possible time? It happens as you run out of the door because you’re late for an appointment. Sometimes it happens in the middle of a dinner party or just when you curl up with a book you’ve been meaning to read for ages now. The trick when it comes to dealing with coffee spills on your carpeting, rugs or furniture is to treat the area as soon as possible. This is a simple 6-step process. 1. Blot the area with paper towels If coffee gets spilled onto your carpet, time is of the essence and prompt action is required to prevent staining. Blot up as much of the coffee as possible and as soon as possible. 2. Do your research on how to clean the area Carpets are constructed in several different ways and from a variety of fibers. Understanding the strengths and difference of each will help you decide on the right stain-removal techniques. 3. Spray some water on the stain Use lukewarm water sprayed on the carpet using a spray bottle to gently dampen the stain. 4. Use an appropriate cleaning solution To treat a coffee spill, you can prepare your own carpet cleaning solution or use a professional product. Chem-Dry carries a host of green certified and eco-friendly carpet cleaners containing no soaps, detergents, solvents or other harsh chemicals. 5. Rinse the stain Once you apply your cleaning solution, rinse the area with warm water using a clean sponge. Remove any excess liquid by blotting the area with a clean dishtowel or sturdy paper towels. 6. Dry the carpet And finally, to dry the spill, place sturdy paper towels over the damp spot and place a heavy object over the towels. Leave to stand for several hours or overnight so the stains don’t reappear. Obviously, the above stain removal guide is very basic. It can help prevent the more common stains and spills but some accidents cannot be resolved without the assistance of professionally trained technicians equipped with state-of-the-art products and equipment.

How To Fight Fall Allergies | A Guide By All Star Chem-Dry

How To Fight Fall Allergies | A Guide By  All Star Chem-Dry

ALL STAR BLOG How To Fight Fall Allergies | A Guide By All Star Chem-Dry Though flowers stop blooming and the air turns crisper and cooler during the fall months, many allergy sufferers get no reprieve. The only difference is: while the spring season confronts the sneezy masses with sky-high pollen counts, fall comes with its own troublesome allergens to contend with including misery-inducing ragweed, mold and dust mites. Common symptoms include runny nose, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing and dark circles under the eyes. To cope with allergies when the leaves start falling off trees, 1. Know your allergy triggers For example, ragweed is a plant that pollinates toward the end of summer causing what’s commonly referred to as hay fever. To avoid ragweed, it is recommended to wear a protective mask on very windy days when pollen counts may be high. A high-efficiency furnace filter in the heating and air conditioning units of your home can also help capture some of the pollen particles associated with ragweed. The second common fall allergy trigger is mold. In truth, mold can cause symptoms year round but in autumn, mold spores thrive more when anchored to wet, fallen leaves. Then of course dust mites cause allergies and while dust mites thrive in warm and humid weather, the allergens in their waste products can get stirred up when you turn on the heat in the fall. To avoid dust mites, regular vacuuming and HEPA air filters in the home are recommended to alleviate symptoms. 1. Think pet dander and fur Pet dander, as you probably already know, is comprised of dead skin shed by the animals you may have in your home. It is also a source of pet allergies, which affects approximately 40% of people with seasonal allergies. Pet allergies can also be triggered by fur, saliva and urine from pets. In particular, St. Bernards, bulldogs and cats are among the worst offenders when it comes to causing allergic reactions in people. The trick to avoid pet allergies is to consider hypoallergenic breeds like Havanese and Schnauzer. You also need to get rid of pet dander in your home with regular cleaning. 2. Professional carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning Just like the clothes you wear need regular washing to keep them hygienic, your carpets and upholstered furniture require periodic cleaning to release problematic soils. After all, carpets act as a filter in the home and collect all sorts of dust, grit and soil. Accumulated soil reduces carpet and fabric life. It also increases the risk of allergies, mold and many other potential problems. Regular vacuuming is a necessity to keep your carpets clean but it does not get rid of deep-down dirt or nasty germs. That’s a job for the professionals. About All Star Chem-Dry If you’re looking for a service that you can trust to get out even the toughest, deep-down grime in your carpets, Chem-Dry offers a safe and healthy process that will give you the peace of mind of having a truly refreshed home. After all, promoting healthy households and a sustainable environment is at the forefront of everything we do from our proprietary low-moisture cleaning process to our Chem Dry green certified solutions.

Managing Allergies In The Workplace    A Guide By All Star Chem-Dry

ALL STAR BLOG Managing Allergies In The Workplace | A Guide By All Star Chem-Dry It’s hard enough to cope with allergies when you’re at home but dealing with allergies at work is even more challenging. Just ask anyone who’s ever dozed off in the middle of an important meeting because they were too exhausted. In fact, allergies in the workplace cause a worrying amount of symptoms including nasal problems, eye conditions, dry throats, lethargy and headaches. The reason: Many workplaces have carpeted floors. Carpets and soft furnishings are hotspots for allergy sufferers harboring house dust mites and their allergen. But it’s not just flooring that can cause problems! Open bookshelves can also accumulate dust and release allergens into the atmosphere, while plants in the office can become breeding ground for mould. Given that people spend the majority of their waking hours in the workplace, a clean and healthy environment for customers and employees is a must. Chem-Dry for office, retail and commercial spaces When it comes to businesses, Chem-Dry offers a superior carpet cleaning experience. For example, Chem-Dry understands that businesses want to provide a clean and healthy environment for employees and customers, but they also need carpets and upholstered furniture to dry fast so the business can run with little or no disruption. Chem-Dry’s patented Hot Carbonating Extraction (HCE) process makes use of the natural cleaning efficacy of carbonation to detach and remove dirt from deep within your carpets so they can be extracted. This process uses 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning. It also removes 98.1% of common household allergens. Therefore, Chem-Dry’s cleaning process is: 1. Drier Chem-Dry’s cleaning process relies on the deep-cleaning power of carbonation. It delivers dry times of 1-2 hours instead of 1-2 days. 2. Cleaner Chem-Dry’s cleaning process uses the bubbly properties of carbonation to pull dirt and grime from carpets. This ensures a deep-down and long lasting clean. 3. Healthier And finally, promoting a healthy and sustainable environment is at the forefront of everything Chem-Dry stands for. To that end, Chem-Dry uses a proprietary cleaning solution that is green certified and eco-friendly and contains ingredients copied straight from Mother Nature. So while steam cleaners use excessive amounts of water filled with soaps and detergents, Chem-Dry is a high quality carpet cleaning process. Additionally, carpets left wet for 1-2 days becomes breeding ground for mold, mildew and bacteria while soapy residue left behind attracts dirt and causes quicker resoiling. According to a study commissioned by pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson, as many as 10 million Canadians suffer from allergy symptoms. The same study also concluded that 55% of Canadians claim that their allergies cut into their productivity. Therefore, if you wheeze or have trouble with lethargy only when you are at work, you may have a problem. Some of the common workplace irritants include: 1. Cleaning supplies Keeping the office clean can reduce allergens but some cleaning products can trigger allergy-like symptoms. 2. Carpeting, upholstery and area rugs Carpeting, upholstered furniture and area rugs serve as breeding grounds for dust mites. They are also littered with their dead bodies and waste. 3. Air filtration systems Air pollution is not only an outdoor problem. The air in enclosed spaces can also be polluted, in particular from chemicals released from furnishings, synthetic...

Dr.  Kwane Stewart Recommends Chem-Dry’s  P.U.R.T. To Remove Urine Odors And Stains

ALL STAR BLOG Dr. Kwane Stewart Recommends Chem-Dry’s P.U.R.T. To Remove Urine Odors And Stains On October 14 2015, Dr. Kwane Stewart, Chief Veterinary Officer with the American Humane Association appeared on KTLA Morning News to share his pick of the standout pet products and services of 2015. The featured products and services are as follows: 1. DogVacay- Connecting pet owners with over 20,000 high-grade in-home sitters across the U.S. and Canada 2. PrideBites- Allows you to design your own pet products 3. iFetch- An automatic dog ball launcher for energetic dogs 4. And P.U.R.T.- Chem-Dry’s patented and revolutionary Pet Urine Removal Treatment In particular, number 4 on this short list should be of interest to pet owners because let’s face it: While we love our pets and they brighten up our day and lives, they can make it a real challenge to keep our home clean, healthy and smelling fresh. Accidents happen and you need to know how to clean up and eliminate the smell. For example, your pet can decide that your new carpet or bedroom is the perfect place to relieve itself. This can become a new bathroom habit, which translates into hours of cleaning to remove the stain and smell. After all, urine deposited on a carpet does not stay there. It penetrates deep into the carpet fibers and can contaminate both the backing of the carpet and the flooring material underneath. Additionally, as the urine dries up, urine crystals form and become more pungent over time. If not treated properly, the odor travels throughout your home and can negatively impact its state. Enter Chem-Dry’s Pet Urine Removal Treatment, P.U.R.T About P.U.R.T. and what Dr. Kwane Stewart has to say about it As Dr. Kwane Stewart explains, P.U.R.T. is a patented and revolutionary cleaning product that goes to the molecular level to destroy urine crystals and eliminate odors. The process is as follows: 1. Using black light, we inspect your carpet to identify pet accidents. If necessary, we pull up your carpet for further inspection. 2. Once the problem areas have been identified, we clean your carpet by using the natural cleaning power of carbonation to release and lift dirt from your carpets. These are then extracted using powerful equipment for a clean that lasts. In fact, Chem-Dry’s Hot Carbonating Extraction system removes 98.1% of common household allergens. 3. Once all liquid and loose urine crystals are removed, we apply our proprietary Pet Urine Removal Treatment, P.U.R.T. Over the next 24 to 36 hours, P.U.R.T. breaks down all odor-causing elements for a fresh smelling clean. Chem-Dry professional carpet cleaning & All Star Chem-Dry When searching for a professional carpet cleaner, note that not all carpet cleaning services are created equal.

Oriental Rug Care & Cleaning | How To Keep Your Rug Looking Great For Years To Come

ALL STAR BLOG Oriental Rug Care & Cleaning | How To Keep Your Rug Looking Great For Years To Come Whether you have a Persian Tabriz with traditional Mahi field patterns and colors or a shag wool rug handmade in the mountains of Greece, a rug adds artistic value to a room’s design. It’s artwork for bare floors and also provides comfort and warmth over, for example, wood flooring or a concrete tile floor. A rug can also be one of the most expensive items to purchase for the home.So if you have one of these puppies, you probably want it to last for generations. This is quite literally possible; some families have handed down lovely oriental rugs for hundreds of years. This means that it is possible to care for a rug for it to survive through several lifetimes. The challenge is proper care, cleaning and maintenance to retain its original value, look and luster. And while it doesn’t take a superhero to keep a rug in tiptop shape, there are some things worth remembering. 1. Spill, spots and sunlightNo matter how careful you are, spills and spots in the home are, to some extent, inevitable. This is especially true if you have kids or pets. When you have an oriental rug, the best practice is to clean spills and spots promptly by blotting the affected area and using cool water. Do not wipe or rub the rug; this may stain and fray the yarns. Equally important: Keep your rug out of direct sunlight. This can cause some rugs to fade. 2. Regular cleaningTo keep your rug clean and hygienic, regular vacuuming is a necessity. Vacuum both sides of your rug regularly, rotating it every 6 months to avoid uneven wear from foot traffic and furniture weight. To help preserve the life of your rug, you can also consider investing in rug pads; Rug pads protect rugs from everyday wear by providing a supportive foundation, which keeps it in place and avoids the transfer of vegetable dyes on handmade rugs 3. Professional rug cleaningAnd finally, oriental rug experts agree: every 3 to 5 years, you should have your rug professionally cleaned. Of course you can wash your own rug but professionals with sophisticated equipment, training and experience will do a better job, especially when it comes to dealing with color-run, if and when it happens. Oriental and area rug cleaning by All Star Chem-Dry Professionals Using a patented cleaning process that uses 80% less water than traditional steam cleaning and no harsh soaps and chemicals, Chem-Dry specializes in tools and equipment designed for whatever kind of rug you have.

Getting The Most Out Of A Small Living Space By Decorating With Area Rugs

Getting The Most Out Of A Small Living Space By Decorating With Area Rugs

ALL STAR BLOG Getting The Most Out Of A Small Living Space By Decorating With Area Rugs Your living space could be in dire need of a makeover for a bunch of reasons: ill-fitting accent pieces, poorly scaled furniture or inconsistent color scheme. Smart design and home décor tricks can remedy this situation making your tiny living space look and feel larger than life. And the foundation of a gorgeous space is stylish floors. So if you’re looking to change the interior design and décor of your living space, start with the area rug first. It adds a tactile and visual interest to a room and sets the center stage for everything else: color scheme, furniture placement and other accessories such as throw pillows and paintings. The trick is to choose the right area rug and the best way to do this is to take it one step at a time. 1. Think construction As you probably already know, the quality and price of a rug depends on two factors: construction time and the talent of the weaver. Your options include hand-knotted, tufted, hooked, flat-woven and braided. 2. Think materials Then how a rug looks, feels and performs also depends on the materials used. Select one that fits your needs. For example, is the rug intended for a high- or low-traffic area? Will it be on its own or underneath a coffee table? Common fibers for area rugs include wool, silk, cotton, grass fibers and synthetic. 3. Think size Of course, before buying a rug, you need to choose a layout and measure the space you’d like to fill carefully. You want your rug to fit your living space but also make the most impact possible. The rule of thumb is: Choose an area rug that’s no less than six inches and no more than two feet away from your wall. In the living room, the bigger the rug, the more it pulls together the other disparate elements of the room. 4. Think care, cleaning and maintenance Lastly you’ve done your research and selected a rug that fits your needs. The next consideration is caring for it. Admittedly, it doesn’t take a village to care for an area rug but there are some things to remember. For example, you need to clean spills promptly. Be sure not to wipe or rub the spill but rather blot the affected area; wiping and rubbing may strain the yarns. To keep your rug clean and hygienic, you also need to vacuum both sides regularly. Rotate the rug every 6 months to avoid uneven wear either from foot traffic or furniture weight. Area rugs cleaning by All Star Chem-Dry And finally, just like the clothes you wear need regular washing to keep them fresh, area rugs need periodic cleaning too. Regular vacuuming is a necessity to keep your carpets clean but it does not get rid of deep-down dirt. With time, your rug will lose its original beauty and luster. This is a job for professionals with training and experience when it comes to area rugs cleaning. Note that Chem-Dry also carries a selection of natural rug cleaning products for the day-to-day care of your Pakistan-Keshan or Romanian-Tabriz.

MYTHS | CARPETS & ALLERGIES THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR CARPET

MYTHS  | CARPETS & ALLERGIES THE TRUTH ABOUT YOUR CARPET

ALL STAR BLOG Carpets & Allergies | Myths And Truths About Carpet By All Star Chem-Dry, One Of The Premier Carpet Cleaning Services In Toronto The relationship between carpet, indoor air quality and health has long been passionately discussed by the carpet industry and in the media. After all, many people are exposed to carpet for prolonged periods of time seeing as how they are used extensively to provide soft surfaces in the home, school and workplace. The most persistent untruths and myths about carpets include the following: There are health risks associated with carpets Carpets encourage the growth of mold and mildew Carpets can cause an increase in the incidence of asthma and/or allergies Carpets are a sink for allergy-causing substances In truth, carpet is one of the lowest emitters of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in the indoor environment; VOCs are emitted by most interior products and affect indoor air quality alongside things like combustion sources (oil, gas, tobacco products), building materials and furnishings, products for household cleaning and maintenance, outdoor air pollution and central heating and cooling systems. As a matter of fact, since gravity causes airborne particles to settle on the floor, in addition to providing a soft, beautiful and desirable surface, especially in the winter months, carpet offers an extra perk: It traps and holds dust and dirt until these can be removed by routine vacuuming. So contrary to popular beliefs, carpets do not increase the amount of allergens and bacteria trapped in our homes, they serve the important function of keeping allergens out of the air you breathe until these can be removed by regular vacuuming. However, note that domestic vacuum cleaners (even the more powerful and expensive ones) do not get rid of deep-down dirt or nasty germs. Regular vacuuming provides the first line of defense in keeping your carpets clean and hygienic. You also need to get your carpets professionally cleaned every 3 – 4 months depending on the amount of traffic they receive and other factors. For example, if you have a pet, pet accidents can make it a real challenge to keep your home clean, healthy and smelling fresh. The trick here is to choose the right carpet cleaning service that delivers a deeper and safer carpet cleaning that’s healthier for your family. In particular, you need to keep in mind that not all carpet cleaning services in Toronto are created equal. For example, in traditional steam cleaning, a large volume of water is used to flush dirt out, which is then extracted. In effect, what happens is that the dirt on the surface is removed but the dirt left in the carpet soon ‘wicks’ back up, leading to quick resoiling. So while steam cleaning may refresh your carpets, it does not deep clean them. In contrast, Chem-Dry’s approach to carpet cleaning leverages the natural cleaning power of carbonation to lift dirt and grime from deep within carpets. These are then extracted using state-of-the-art equipment, a process that uses 80% less water than steam cleaning. The solution that is carbonated is Chem-Dry’s revolutionary cleaning solution, The Natural, with ingredients copied straight from nature and is therefore safe for kids and pets.
