Having a clean carpet is both visually pleasing and healthier for all the building's residents. Carpet cleaning has come a long way since traditional methods, and new chemicals hit the market shelves every year promising simpler, faster and greener methods of removing those pesky dirt and spill stains.

We always do our best to outline the best techniques for restoring your carpet to its like-new state on our carpet services page. Here are just a few of our favorite tips:

• Keep up with regular care: It's best to clean your carpets frequently than to leave them unattended for long periods of time, having to later use high-power tools to remove the worn stains.
• Attend to stains straight away: Spills happen, but they need to be attended to immediately, as leaving the liquid soak into the carpet can cause permanent, unrestorable damage to the carpet (and even the floor under-neath it). Additionally, older carpets and loose yarn rugs could shrink and create wrinkles in the moisture.
• Use a good quality vacuum cleaner: Good quality vacuum cleaners can be expensive, but they provide much better results. If you don't have a good quality vacuum available call us at (604) 202-7700 to schedule a carpet cleaning with a reliable company.
• Install 3M Scotchgard Protection:Scotchgard adds a stain-resistant layer, and vacuuming becomes more effective. Dirt is more easily picked-up, and fewer passes are required.

Of course, if the job isn't urgent we highly recommend calling in a cleaning company. We use both powerful truck-mounted machines and portable machines for carpet cleaning. No matter the area, we guarantee superior cleaning results and complete customer satisfaction. Regularly cleaning your carpets is the best way to maintain a its good appearance and prolong its life.
