In fact, using the wrong chemicals in a mistaken attempt to clean carpets can do more harm than if you left them dirty. Homeowners should look for professional carpet cleaners who use only high temperaâ€" ture steam to clean carpets. Soap and shamâ€" poo can leave a sticky residue that will leave carpets looking dirtier than ever in a short time! In fact, it could take as many as three to four professional cleanings to undo the damâ€" ageâ€"to an improperly cleaned.carpet. Steamatic‘s approach to carpet and fabric cleaning Carpet and fabric surfaces provide excelâ€" lent breeding grounds for microbial colonies, dust mites and their renains. The patented, heatâ€"controlled Steamatic process cleans carâ€" peting by using 165 degree temperature at the surface that kills or stuns dust mites and other microâ€"organisms. Our powerful vacuum system removes the microscopic organisms along with dust, dirt and stains down to the fiber base and can reduce the level of bacteria, mold, mildew and viruses by an average of 92 per cent. Our portable Steamatic cleaning process can reduce the level of bacterial on upholâ€" stered furniture by an average of 96 per cent. This process effectively removes soil, dust _| and dirt and eliminates smoke and musty ogors that can have a dramatic impact on indoor air quality. Mr. Schofield warns consumers to watch for carpet cleaning companies whose prices appear low, but then increase the price with loads of "extras". In many cases, these "extras" are unnecessary. Steamatic also services the insurance industry and commercial properties. They have a 24â€"hour emergency service, total restoration services, fire and smoke restoraâ€" tion, emergency wet carpet service, auto cleaning of upholstery, odor control and removal, area carpets pickâ€"up and delivery. $199 Duct Cleaning Special for March Call today 332â€"6722 Up to 15 vents done right Steamatic‘s approach to ducts Duct cleaning is a way of making sure your home stays clean even over the next winter months. Basically duct cleaning involves removing the dust and grime that has accumulated in all your home‘s duct work and registers. The end result is cleaner air, less inflamed allergies, elimination of dust mites and higher furnace efficiency. Be aware of contractors who boast huge savings on your fuel bill. This won‘t happen says Mr: Schofield. However, your furnace willâ€"be able to work easier and in the long run, you‘ll save money by extending the life of your furnace. . Mr. Schofield says that his workers clean ducts by opening a large hole in one of the basement ducts. A 28â€"foot extension broom is then used to scrape the sidewalls of all the ducts before the dirt is sucked out by an industrial vacuum. An interesting assortment of objects have been removed from ductwork over the years. Mr. Schofield recalls an old whiskey botâ€" tle, a wallet, dead animals, magazines, newsâ€" papers dated as far back as the 1940s. toys and jewellery being sucked from dirty duct work. "It‘s horrible what‘s in there," he says. After the ducts are cleaned, they are sprayed with a disinfectant to kill bacteria and fungae that may have accumulated over the years. It‘s recommended that home ductwork be cleaned at least once every four years. A thorough home cleaning might not have the attraction or glamour that redecorating has, but a clean home will be a more pleasant and healthier place to live."I remember one lady whose family had allergies and she had everything cleaned and disinfected â€" her ducts, carpets, everything," Mr. Schofield recalls. "She said she noticed a big difference in the overall health of her whole family." If you would like to discuss any matter, please. call Brian Schofield at 332â€"6722, or 561â€"7115.
