With Pleasanton, CA being a family-friendly suburb, many of these families have numerous pets. If you have pets and like to invite your friends and family over, it’s probably a good idea to clean your house in order to eliminate pet dander and pet urine.  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’s very likely that your animal will leave pet hair and dander on your carpet, furniture, upholstery, and other drapery.

Pet dander is the loose dermal skin cells which our pets regularly shed.  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.  The proteins from pet saliva, hair, and urine are what usually trigger a person’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.

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’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.

After you can determine all the pet urine stains, it’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’s time to proceed with the carpet cleaning.

A proven and effective carpet cleaning method is through hot water extraction, it’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. Finally, you’re ready for the surface carpet cleaning using hot water extraction.  When the high pressure cleaning is finished, allow your carpet for a sufficient drying time. After you’ve had the hot water extraction carpet cleaning the overall result is a cleaner and healthier home!

Berber carpet looks so good in the store. But, I can't say it enough times – Berber is the style or weave of a carpet, it is not the type of fiber of a carpet. Just like "Shag" or "Saxony", 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.

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!!! See our original Consumer Report on Berber.

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.

The "bad" 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's Olefin, Polypropylene is a cheap polymer and has only one known real value in the world of carpet namely when it's manufactured into strictly carpet backing material. It doesn't belong on the top as "face fiber". 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.

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.  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.

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.

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.

Tile floors are wonderful. They’re easy to keep clean, they’re durable and tough, and they look good for a long, long time.

There's only one drawback: grout.

In short, grout is tile’s “Achilles heel.”

When tile floors don’t look good it’s usually because the grout has become stained.

So, can you revive your grout once it’s gone bad?

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’s tile installers never properly seal tile and it’s a big problem.

It’s like a painter who won’t take the time to caulk.

The reason they don’t do it is because it’s tedious. Very, very tedious.

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’s start with the easiest option first.

NOTE: 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.

OPTION 1 Cleaning Grout in Tile Floors Yourself

Step 1. Wet mopping with Oxiclean. This is the easiest method and worth trying first to see if you can’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’t have fumes like chlorine bleach does. But, if that doesn’t work, go to Step 2.

Step 2. Brushing with Oxiclean. 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…

Step 3. Try wet mopping with chlorine bleach. 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's a lot of traffic and opportunity for dirt. However, if you haven’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.

OPTION 2: Cleaning Grout in Tile Floors Professionally

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’ need for grout cleaning help has become clear. Many carpet cleaning services offer tile and grout cleaning.

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.

Tile floors are wonderfully convenient and easy to maintain. A quick sweep and they’re clean. But, when the grout gets dirty, tile floors get ugly.

Try the cleaning steps above and see if you don’t notice a difference in the way your grout looks. And, if not, there’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’s time-consuming, but once you get your grout clean, you’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.

Eminent Carpet Cleaning serves San Ramon, Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore and nearby cities. Our company’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.

On any level, stains and spots are something bad for your home. 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’t go back in time, now you must get your carpet professionally cleaned in order to get the stain and odor out.

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’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’t fix it. The area can be treated with the water claw method or the carpet padding can be replaced.

The carpet is the least of your worries if the stain is in the padding as well.

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.

Eminent Carpet Cleaning offers pet urine extraction services. We service Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, and the entire Tri-Valley.

Pet Odor Issues

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.
 

Problem

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.
 

Treatment

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.

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.
