If they aren&rsquo;t cared for properly, carpets can become unsightly and smelly, as well as harbor allergens. Vacuuming is essential to maintaining your carpet, as it helps to remove dirt from the surface and keeps the level of soil in the carpet pile at an acceptable level. Vacuuming alone will not maintain the appearance of your carpet, however. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Residential carpets need to be deep cleaned approximately every 12 to 18 months, depending on the amount and type of activity, the color of the carpet, the type of fiber, etc. Carpets in commercial buildings typically need to be cleaned more frequently because of the heavy foot traffic. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">It&rsquo;s possible to rent small carpet cleaning units and clean your carpets by yourself, but these small units are not as effective as the commercial carpet cleaning units that professional carpet cleaners use. To completely remove trapped residues and soil from your carpet, it&rsquo;s necessary to hire a professional carpet cleaner. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Maintaining a clean carpet is critical for asthma and allergy sufferers, as well as people with small children. If you have a baby who crawls, for instance, giving your carpet a deep cleaning on a regular basis is important because babies put their hands in their mouths often. By keeping your carpet clean, you&rsquo;ll help to keep your baby healthy. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">If your carpet is dirty, it also affects the indoor air quality of your home. A carpet with a lot of dirt, dust, and dust mite excrement may release allergens into the air that trigger asthma, eczema, and allergic nasal mucous membrane inflammations. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Benefits of Steam Cleaning<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Nearly all carpet and carpet fiber manufacturers recommend steam cleaning, and for good reason. Steam cleaning is the only true deep cleaning method for carpets. Steam isn&rsquo;t actually used because the temperature of the cleaning solution never gets high enough to generate steam. However, a spray made with hot water and detergent is applied to the carpet to dissolve dirt, dust, grease, and debris. A powerful vacuum is used to remove the water and dirt. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Other carpet cleaning methods only clean the surface of your carpet and are incapable of removing dirt from deep in the carpet pile. Moreover, other carpet cleaning methods tend to leave detergent residue on the carpet. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Steam cleaning is the best way to clean your carpets because not only does it remove dirt, it also removes allergens. This method is particularly advantageous in homes and commercial buildings with tightly woven carpets that trap dirt a normal vacuum isn&rsquo;t capable of removing. Steam cleaning is also beneficial for homes with pets. Steam cleaning sanitizes and deodorizes your carpet, so it looks and smells as good as new again. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Some people take the DIY approach to save money. While there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with being self-reliant, when it comes to carpet cleaning, it&rsquo;s advisable to rely on the services of a professional. If steam cleaning isn&rsquo;t performed correctly, the carpet and padding can get soaked, encouraging mold and mildew growth. Another issue is that people often use too much detergent, which leaves dirt-attracting residue in their carpets. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

It&rsquo;s important to vacuum soil from your carpet on a regular basis because it can damage the fibers. The problem is that vacuuming only removes surface dirt. In order to remove grease, oil, and soil from carpet pile, employing more thorough carpet cleaning methods is essential. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: arial"><span style="mso-list: ignore">1.<span style="font: 7pt 'times new roman'">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Shampooing method<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Shampooing is the oldest, most well-known carpet cleaning method. It involves applying hot water cleaning solution to your carpet and rubbing it in with a motorized circular brush. You have to shampoo one section of your carpet at a time, going over each section at least once or twice. As the shampoo dries, it attracts soil. When it&rsquo;s completely dry, which is usually the next day, you have to vacuum the shampoo residue and soil. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">The shampooing method has many disadvantages. Cylindrical foam shampoo machines tend to leave dirt trapped in the carpet pile, while rotary brush machines may cause over-wetting and damage. The detergents that carpet shampoos contain may leave a sticky residue on your carpet that is a magnet for dirt. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: arial"><span style="mso-list: ignore">2.<span style="font: 7pt 'times new roman'">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Foam method<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">The foam method works like the shampooing method. You add cleaning solution to the motorized circular brush, but instead of brushing it directly into your carpet, you let the machine spin and whip the cleaning solution into foam. You apply the foam to your carpet and let it dry for an hour or two. The dirt in the carpet attaches to the foam&rsquo;s residue. Once the foam dries, you vacuum your carpet thoroughly. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Like the shampooing method, the foam carpet cleaning method does not remove dirt effectively because a vacuum cannot remove foam residue completely. As a result, dust sticks to the residue and begins to accumulate in the carpet. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: arial"><span style="mso-list: ignore">3.<span style="font: 7pt 'times new roman'">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Dry-extraction method</span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">During the dry-extraction carpet cleaning procedure, a dry absorbent compound is sprinkled on the carpet and worked into the pile with a machine. You leave the compound in the carpet for about a half hour so that it attracts and absorbs soil. Then, you vacuum the carpet thoroughly to remove the compound and dislodged soil. Otherwise, the powdery compound&rsquo;s residue may eventually show up on your shoes or the cuffs of your pants. Extremely fine powder compounds may even affect your home&rsquo;s indoor air quality. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -0.25in; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; mso-fareast-font-family: arial"><span style="mso-list: ignore">4.<span style="font: 7pt 'times new roman'">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span></span></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">Bonnet method<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">The bonnet method is similar to the shampooing process in that you have to spray chemicals into the fibers of your carpet. The chemicals cause dirt to percolate up to the surface of your carpet. A rotary floor machine with a round absorbent spinning pad attached is used to remove the dirt. The problem with the bonnet method is that the spinning bonnet can distort your carpet&rsquo;s fibers and leave swirl marks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">The steam cleaning method, also known as the hot water extraction method, is the most effective way to deep clean your carpet and is highly recommended by carpet manufacturers. Contrary to popular belief, the steam cleaning method does not employ steam. A hot water cleaning solution is pressure pumped onto your carpet and then immediately extracted along with dissolved soil using a high-pressure vacuum. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt"><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"><span style="font-family: 'arial','sans-serif'; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt">The steam cleaning method is powerful because it utilizes heated water, which helps to break up grease, debris, and dirt. As your carpet dries, it will look as good as new again. The only drawback of the steam cleaning method is that it can soak your carpet if it isn&rsquo;t done correctly. The key is to apply enough moisture to clean all the way down to the bottom of the carpet fiber, but not so much that the carpet backing gets soaked. To avoid problems and achieve the best possible results, it&rsquo;s preferable to hire a professional to steam clean your carpet for you. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Our local carpet cleaning company has been in operation since 2002, and out of concern for your wallet and your blood pressure, we want to take the time to share with you what we have learned about carpet cleaning costs that start out sounding great, but have skyrocketed beyond anything you were prepared for by the time the technicians walk out your door. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">The most common offer we see is for whole house carpet cleaning priced at $129.00. We&#39;ve learned about this deal from new clients who have had to call us in after a competitor has not done a thorough and professional job. Here&#39;s what we&#39;ve discovered about these too-good-to-be-true carpet cleaning offers:</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- If you contact one of these companies, you will be given a quote of approximately $129.00, with a promise that this is the total cost to clean your entire home.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- What they don&#39;t tell you is that this only covers the actual use of a steam cleaner. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- After inspecting your home, the technicians will tell you that it will cost extra for them to bring their spotter into the house to clean up certain areas. Suddenly, the price starts going up.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- The technicians may attempt to upsell you on other tools or products not covered in the original quote.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- Finally, more often than not, the quality of the work ends up being so unsatisfactory that you will need to either call them back (more money) or hire an entirely different carpet cleaning company because you have lost trust in the initial one.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">At Eminent Carpet Cleaning, we have worked hard to understand all of the players in our local field. Many do a fine job, but some, like these $129.00/whole house carpet cleaning companies, have earned a bad reputation among neighbors who then become our clients after having a bad experience with another service. We have discovered that many of these companies have very poor Better Business Bureau records. <b>Always check the Better Business Bureau for complaints before hiring someone to treat your valuable carpets</b>. In nearly a decade of serving the public, Eminent Carpet Cleaning has never received a single Better Business Bureau complaint.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt"><b>Get a Firm Carpet Cleaning Price You Can Count On with Eminent Carpet Cleaning</b></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">&nbsp;</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">If you&#39;ve been burned in the past by misleading offers and bad service, we are committed to showing you the difference that complete transparency and honest good work make. Here are 10 exceptional reasons San Ramon residents put their trust in Eminent Carpet Cleaning:</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- Our Prochem quadjet cleaning wands with 4 jets and a 2&quot; vacuum port result in a superior cleaning.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- We use only the best pre-cleaning shampoo on the market.</span></div>

<div><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-size: 10pt">- We get the job done right the first time. </span></div>

<p>It was a fresh and sunny day in Dublin California when we got a call from a customer on Bristol Rd., just off Larkdale Ave. on the north side of town in the 94568 zip code district. Our technicians enjoy trips out to that area with its quiet, family-friendly streets and view of Dublin Hills Regional Park. We were feeling ready for anything, and listened with interest as the customer described her carpet cleaning concerns.</p>
<p>What we learned was that family pets were foiling her efforts to run a clean home. Everyone loved the three terrific dogs, but the pet stains on the carpet were so bad, our customer was afraid they might never come out, even with the services of a professional carpet cleaning company.</p>
<p>&quot;We&#39;re on our way,&quot; we said and jumped into one of Eminent Carpet Cleaning&#39;s shiny red trucks, hitched up to a stylish trailer packed to the roof with powerful carpet cleaning tools and products.</p>
<p>Heading west on Highway 580, we passed the San Ramon Golf Club and drove into the pleasant suburban neighborhood. Our new customer was friendly and everything about the modest family home was clean and appealing&#8230;except for the carpets! After a detailed inspection, we were convinced that our carpet cleaning company could help.</p>
<p><b>A Carpet With Serious Pet Stains</b></p>
<p><center><img src="http://www.eminentcarpetcleaning.com/images/dublinbefore23.jpg" /></center></p>
<p>The relatively new carpet still had plenty of life in it, but was stained with pet urine in numerous places. The problem had been exacerbated by an active family tracking in dirt over the pet stains. Dirt had become stuck to the urine spots, and though the homeowner had tried and tried to remedy the problem with a regular vacuum cleaner, this was definitely a job for professionals.</p>
<p><b>Our Carpet Cleaning Company&#39;s Solutions</b></p>
<p>Our skilled technicians could see that success would depend on a 2-step process:</p>
<p><img align="left" src="http://www.eminentcarpetcleaning.com/images/dublinextractor.jpg" /> Step 1: We utilized an amazing carpet cleaning product called OSR. OSR is a non-allergenic solution which employs natural oxygen to modify and destroy odorous substances. One of the nice things about this product is that the homeowner will not have to cope with a heady artificial fragrance after this product has been used to treat pet stains on their carpets. We mixed the OSR with very hot water and applied it to every stain, allowing it to soak into the fibers for 30 minutes.</p>
<p>Step 2: Once the OSR had been given ample time to work its magic, we used our powerful Sub Floor Extractor device to suck all of the moisture back out of the carpet and carpet pad. It is a professional-level carpet cleaning tool like this that makes it worthwhile to contact a local Dublin carpet cleaning company when you&#39;ve got a tough issue.</p>
<p>Were we successful? Seeing is believing! Here is a photo of the finished floor as completed by our carpet cleaning company:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>What Our Client Said:</b></p>
<p>&quot;It&#39;s been 2 years since my last carpet cleaning because the last cleaning I had, the spots came back. I decided to get them cleaned and I found Eminent Carpet Cleaning online. I used Adrian&#39;s company because he had lots of good reviews. It&#39;s been three weeks since it was done and I am so happy my carpets still look new. I have three dogs and the carpets were bad. I didn&rsquo;t think they were going to come out so clean. Thank you, Eminent!&quot; &#8211; Jenny B., Dublin CA</p>
<p>If your carpet looks like Jenny&#39;s, we can help! Our carpet cleaning company has tons of satisfied customers in Dublin, California, and we are standing by, ready to book your appointment.</p>

<p><b>Pet Stain Tips from Our Carpet Cleaning Company</b></p>
<p>If you&#39;ve just brought home a new dog, or have an older pet who has never quite mastered housetraining, chances are, your carpets are suffering. Cats can also be furry culprits, marking carpets and upholstery with their territorial scent. We know how important your companion animals are to you, and want to make sure you are aware that you can have both pets and cleanly carpets, too!</p>
<p>If you notice one of your pets urinating, you can use paper towels on the spot. Lay down a good number of layers of toweling and stand on the spot until most of the urine is absorbed. Remove the soiled towels and place down more towels. Keep repeating the process of putting down fresh towels and standing on them until they are no longer absorbing any moisture. The faster you attend to a pet urine spot, the less time the moisture has to sink deeply into carpet fibers and padding.</p>

The spots may range from regular coffee, ink, grass, soil and wine stains. Fortunately, help is at hand and advice on how to deal with delicate upholstery and stubborn stains and carpets. There are many ways that can be used to remove stains, but following these few helpful tips from our outlined below will give you a better chance of dislodging success.</p>
<p><strong>What kind of stain are you dealing with?</strong><br />
	Before embarking on the stain removal of all carpet fiber or upholstery, it is important first to identify what type of fabric or carpet stain you are trying to remove. You must use a good stain removal; otherwise this may lead to limited success and inefficiency stain removal process.</p>
<p><strong>Accidents are bound to happen!</strong><br />
	It happened to us all, even if you take all necessary precautions. Accidents will always happen, drink spills on your carpets and upholstery can sometimes seem unattractive. It often leads to a mad rush to the cupboard to find a towel to blot the stain and prevent it from spreading.</p>
<p><strong>Unfortunately, Carpet Stains Don&rsquo;t Vanish</strong><br />
	We would like them too; however there are a few tips you should consider for the top spot and stain removal.</p>
<p>Are you facing the water stains or oil based? There are various carpet and upholstery stain removal treatments to deal with both water based and oil based stains, so it is important to identify your spot before you do anything else. <br />
	Treat the stain immediately; you have a better chance of a positive result if you do. <br />
	Excess of spots and stains from carpet can be removed by brushing, scraping or blotting. It is essential that you never rub the stain, as this could cause the stain to spread throughout your carpet fibers and upholstery.</p>
<p>To prevent any carpet or upholstery stain from spreading never start in the middle of the spot, start working from the edge working inward. Always test stain removal products in a small area to begin.</p>
<p><strong>Is It Time to Call the Professionals? </strong><br />
	You took your hands and knees and tried everything, but all their attempts have not yielded the result that you expected. If the stubborn carpet or upholstery stain is difficult to remove, then perhaps it would be advisable to appoint a carpet cleaning business that specializes in removing stains from carpet or stains on your upholstery. The more you rub the stain, the harder it will be for a professional to get it all out.</p>

If you have pets and like to invite your friends and family over, it&rsquo;s probably a good idea to clean your house in order to eliminate pet dander and pet urine.&nbsp; Pet urine is not a pleasant smell and you guests will not want to stick around for a long time. Dogs, cats, birds, and other creatures are not always the most cleanliness roommates. Even if your pet is potty trained, it&rsquo;s very likely that your animal will leave pet hair and dander on your carpet, furniture, upholstery, and other drapery.</p>
<p>Pet dander is the loose dermal skin cells which our pets regularly shed.&nbsp; Although pet hair can be easier to spot, pet dander is virtually invisible. The overexposure in your house to pet dander can in some cases lead to asthma, and other respiratory complications.&nbsp; The proteins from pet saliva, hair, and urine are what usually trigger a person&rsquo;s allergic reaction. Research gathered estimates that 15-30% of allergic reactions are from cats, dogs, and other animals. Common allergic reactions include rashes and eczema, coughing, watery and itchy eyes, congestion or runny sinus. With excessive amounts of pet dander in your home this can start aggravating your allergies even if you usually are not allergic to cats or dogs.</p>
<p>Not everyone crates their animals, so when left unattended, accidents can happen. Pet urine leaves stains, but also cannot be detected with the human eye. Pet urine is comprised of thousands of bacteria organisms found in urea, sodium chloride, urine acid, and other detoxified wastes. It&rsquo;s also very difficult and time consuming to get rid of the foul odor pet urine and feces leaves behind. The bacteria live off of any moisture or food sources in the particular area.</p>
<p>After you can determine all the pet urine stains, it&rsquo;s important to remove and replace the soiled carpet padding. Also, when pet urine is left sitting on an area for a prolonged time period, it may soak into the sub floor. In this case the sub floor needs to be treated with the anti-microbial solution or an enzyme. With extreme cases, some sub floors need to be sealed. After replacing and treating the subfloor level, it&rsquo;s time to proceed with the carpet cleaning.</p>
<p>A proven and effective carpet cleaning method is through hot water extraction, it&rsquo;s advised that you clean the underlying side of the carpet. Various carpet cleaning companies use effective and powerful chemicals solutions mixed in their hot water extractors. After the subfloor has been sealed, the back of the carpet is completely clean, and then the new carpet padding and carpet can be set down.

But, I can&#39;t say it enough times &#8211; Berber is the style or weave of a carpet, it is not the type of fiber of a carpet. Just like &quot;Shag&quot; or &quot;Saxony&quot;, which refer to the appearance and construction of the fiber weave or fiber cut. Berber carpet can be made of different types of fibers or combinations of fibers.</p>
<p>The sales hype surrounding Berber carpet was initially unintentional. The Olefin story and consumer ignorance are really the culprits. The consumer, and far too often the carpet seller as well, is naive to the fiber content of carpet and what it means in terms of performance and required maintenance. The content here is intended to inform anyone with carpeted space to avoid any purchase of a carpet without first having an accurate understanding of what Berber is and is NOT!!! <a href="http://www.eminentcarpetcleaning.com/berber-carpets-are-they-easy-to-clean/">See our original Consumer Report on Berber</a>.</p>
<p>Truly good carpet, like those made of 100% Nylon or Wool, will last for at least 10 years under the worse traffic conditions, Cared for properly that number doubles or triples for Nylon.</p>
<p>	The &quot;bad&quot; Berber is made of polypropylene, often called Olefin or Poly Olefin. It has a very bad reputation. So carpet manufacturers are dreaming up new product names every day to disguise the fact that it&#39;s Olefin, Polypropylene is a cheap polymer and has only one known real value in the world of carpet namely when it&#39;s manufactured into strictly carpet backing material. It doesn&#39;t belong on the top as &quot;face fiber&quot;. Since this cheap fiber can be woven into Berber style, it is a very misleading imposter of the best soft floor coverings, Nylon or the luxurious Wool carpet. </p>
<p>	Nylon still dominates the carpet market and always will. Wool is the only alternative to Nylon carpet and holds a small percentage (less than 5% in the USA) of the market due to cost and lifestyle factors. Wool carpet is usually sold to the very upscale residential and commercial property owners.&nbsp; However, for about a decade Olefin Berber has been pushed so hard as a Berber alternative that consumers fell for it. In actual use, the result is the constant complaints by consumers of poor performance and misrepresentations of the product. </p>
<p>	Some of the thousands of emails we receive complaining about the biggest mistake a home owner can make with regard to Berber carpet. The conclusion, Berber carpet (unless made of 100% wool or 100% nylon) is the worst carpet to buy today! For the record, we do not sell carpet at all. Our endorsement of Nylon and Wool is based on real life experience for more than 8 years and our services on millions of yards of carpet.</p>
<p>The moral of the story is to educate yourself BEFORE you buy any carpet! Eminent Carpet Cleaning will post various articles to assist you in that education.

They&rsquo;re easy to keep clean, they&rsquo;re durable and tough, and they look good for a long, long time.</p>
<p>There&#39;s only one drawback: grout.</p>
<p>In short, grout is tile&rsquo;s &ldquo;Achilles heel.&rdquo;</p>
<p>When tile floors don&rsquo;t look good it&rsquo;s usually because the grout has become stained.</p>
<p>So, can you revive your grout once it&rsquo;s gone bad?</p>
<p>Sure, you can. Most of the time, grout becomes stained because it was either not properly sealed with a grout sealant when the tile was put down or because the sealant has worn off with time. Many of today&rsquo;s tile installers never properly seal tile and it&rsquo;s a big problem.</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s like a painter who won&rsquo;t take the time to caulk.</p>
<p>The reason they don&rsquo;t do it is because it&rsquo;s tedious. Very, very tedious.</p>
<p>If your floors look dirty because the tile grout is stained, you have some cleaning options. The first option is to clean the grout yourself. This can be tedious and time consuming. Let&rsquo;s start with the easiest option first.</p>
<p><i><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255)">NOTE:</span> Before using any of these methods, be sure to do a test first in an inconspicuous area. Also, if you have colored grout, you may be taking a chance of removing the color if you use chlorine bleach. Always test first.</i></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255)"><br />
	OPTION 1 Cleaning Grout in Tile Floors Yourself </span></p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255)">Step 1. Wet mopping with Oxiclean.</span> This is the easiest method and worth trying first to see if you can&rsquo;t just bleach the grout clean with an oxygen cleaner. Make a solution of two gallons of hot water with 1 cup of Oxiclean powder. Make sure the Oxiclean completely dissolves. Mop with the solution. I like this option because the Oxiclean doesn&rsquo;t have fumes like chlorine bleach does. But, if that doesn&rsquo;t work, go to Step 2.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255)">Step 2. Brushing with Oxiclean.</span> Purchase a plastic bristle deck brush with a long handle. Using the solution above, brush the grout with the solution and allow to dry. The extra brushing action will often do the job without making you get on your hands and knees to brush. If the grout still looks dirty&hellip;</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255)">Step 3. Try wet mopping with chlorine bleach.</span> I am not a big fan of bleach because of the strong fumes, but sometimes bleach is what you need to do the job. Make a solution of two gallons of hot water and 1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap. Add 1 cup of liquid bleach and mix. Mop the floors with the bleach solution being careful not to get any of the solution on carpeting or fabrics. You may want to use a hand brush to hand brush any extra dirty areas, like around the stove or sink. Once you have gotten the grout looking good again, it would worth your while to take steps to keep the grout from getting dirty again. This would include sealing the grout with a sealer (available at your home centers and tile stores) and placing area rugs at areas such as entryways, hallways, sinks, stoves, bathrooms and anywhere there&#39;s a lot of traffic and opportunity for dirt. However, if you haven&rsquo;t been able to make a dent in the dirt in your grout, professional help may be called for. If so, this brings us to Option 2.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0,0,255)"><br />
	OPTION 2: Cleaning Grout in Tile Floors Professionally</span></p>
<p>Because many people have built houses in the past ten years and are using more tile, and because more and more tile setters fail to seal the tile they set, homeowners&rsquo; need for grout cleaning help has become clear. Many carpet cleaning services offer tile and grout cleaning.</p>
<p>Eminent Carpet Cleaning services is one that offers tile grout cleaning in addition to its regular carpet cleaning services. Eminent Carpet Cleaning also offers the additional service of adding a sealant during the cleaning process that will not just clean your grout, but will help keep it clean for a long time.</p>
<p>Tile floors are wonderfully convenient and easy to maintain. A quick sweep and they&rsquo;re clean. But, when the grout gets dirty, tile floors get ugly.</p>
<p>Try the cleaning steps above and see if you don&rsquo;t notice a difference in the way your grout looks. And, if not, there&rsquo;s always the option of hiring a service to do it for you. Either way, though, do take the time and seal your tile grout. It&rsquo;s time-consuming, but once you get your grout clean, you&rsquo;ll want it to stay clean. Sealing it is the only way you can ensure the grout in your tile floors looks good for a long, long time.</p>

When looking at your carpet though it is nice, the only thing you are going to notice is that pet stain. If the site of the stain is not the first to grab your intention then the smell of it will. The stain and the odor must disperse from the carpet! You can&rsquo;t go back in time, now you must get your carpet professionally cleaned in order to get the stain and odor out.</p>
<p>Pet urine is one of the worst problems you can have in your carpet. But, Eminent Carpet Cleaning can clean it up if action is taken on time. Speed is the key to your problem in this situation. The padding of the carpet needs to be protected, don&rsquo;t let anything soak into the back of it. Sometimes you just can get to it. You have only two options when the stain is so secure that a steam cleaning won&rsquo;t fix it. The area can be treated with the water claw method or the carpet padding can be replaced.</p>
<p>The carpet is the least of your worries if the stain is in the padding as well.</p>
<p>This situation calls for much more than a regular cleaning. The effects of a regular steam cleaning on this spot will not be long lasting. The padding of your carpet is showing that it is saturated. There is a lot involved in padding replacement, avoid this and just get a water claw treatment. The water claw treatment will re-saturate your carpet with a 5-gallon mix of enzymes and deodorizer. In order for the solution to get into the padding of the carpet you will want it to set for about 15 minutes. The spot that we re-saturate will be taken care of by our special attachment that will suck up all the moisture. The backing of your carpet will be sucked dry from the pet stain. Enzymes are saturated in carpet and padding to rid the area of urine smells. This is definitely a severe problem that needs an aggressive treatment.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eminentcarpetcleaning.com">Eminent Carpet Cleaning</a> offers pet urine extraction services. We service Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, and the entire Tri-Valley.</p>

<p>Pet odor is a very common problem. At Eminent Carpet Cleaning we can help you deal with your pet challenges, from minor problems to major headaches. <br />
	&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>Problem</b></h2>
<p>The problem with pet odor is that it can be much deeper than it first appears at first. Pet urine can easily soak through the backing of the carpet into the padding underneath. In more severe cases the urine can penetrate into the sub-floor beneath the padding. This creates a problem that is multi-layered. The urine also provides for the growth of bacteria. This in turn contributes to a worsening of the odor problem and can contribute to permanent color loss of the carpet fiber. <br />
	&nbsp;</p>
<h2><b>Treatment</b></h2>
<p>To eliminate this problem the urine must be removed or neutralized from each of the layers affected. If the contamination is limited to only the face yarn of the carpet then the cleaning itself may effectively remove the odor. In more severe cases a urine neutralizer may be applied. Left untreated over a period of time pet odor can become absorbed into many of the porous materials in your home.</p>
<p>At Eminent Carpet Cleaning we offer a range of solutions to help you with your pet odor problems. In the long run, however, it may be more a matter of proper maintenance instead of total elimination. After all, we love our pets and want to keep them a part of our family. Pet ownership adds to the challenge of maintaining a clean and healthy home. At Eminent Carpet Cleaning we can help you meet those challenges. ALL CARPET MANUFACTURERS RECOMMEND STEAM CLEANING #1 BEFORE ANY OTHER METHOD JUST CHECK THEIR WEBSITES.</p>
<p>Our company&rsquo;s carpet cleaning services are available to both the commercial as well as residential places including homes, offices, schools, churches, gyms, and clinics, restaurants etc.</p>
