If you are parents with small kids, you know that they are always leaving a mess in their wake. They tend to turn into a small hurricane when it is play time and many times it can turn destructive. They tend to drag in dirt on the carpets, and run their hands down the wall leaving dark streaks throughout the house. They also have been known to break a thing or two. Every once and a while they sit quietly and draw or color you a picture that you display proudly on the refrigerator. If they are playing too quietly most moms know that could mean disaster. If you are like most families you have had your fair share of kid’s crayon incidents. It seems that paper and coloring books are never enough and they start to venture off coloring on walls, furniture and even your carpet. Getting crayon and marker out of your carpets can be a serious task to take on.
 

Steam Green Carpet Cleaning has the best ways to remove crayon and marker from your carpets.

How to Get Crayon Out of Carpet

Just like any other stain on your carpet you want to make sure that you start cleaning it up immediately. The faster you get to it the easier it will be to get out. One way to try and remove the crayon is to use a butter knife or other blunt object to scrape away any excess pieces of crayon. After this step you can use a small amount of carpet cleaner that you have spot tested previously and spray it on the stained area. Use a nice clean towel or rag to dab away at the crayon and it should come up. If this does not work try using the iron method. Crayons are made from wax and so you can use a nice clean rag to lay over the colored area. Then set your iron to a hot setting that does not use steam and gently apply it to the rag that was used to cover. The wax should start to melt and seep into the rag and out of the carpet.
 

How to Get Marker Out of Your Carpet

Just like the information in the section regarding crayon, you always want to treat the stain as soon as you can to ensure that you get it as clean as possible. You can try a method that may seem crazy but should work like a charm. Use a can of oil free hairspray and pour some out onto the spot that has the marker. Then you want to place a nice clean cloth over the spot and dab at the area to pick up the color from the markers. If this didn’t work, you may want to try another option. You can use a small amount of dish soap on the area and dab away with the clean cloth.
 
If you find that these methods have not worked for you and you want to have the kids “art” removed for your carpets and rugs you can call a carpet cleaning expert to come out and treat the spot for you.

Your pets are like family, and when you think about them you are probably filled with thoughts of all the love and companionship they bring to your life. What you may not think about is the germs and bacteria they bring into the home along with all the little accidental messes they loving leave behind.
 
Do you know what your four-legged friends are leaving behind in your home?
• Pet Waste – Including vomit, urine & feces
• Saliva – Did you know that your dog carries 20 or more types of bacteria in its mouth?
• Dander – Did you know that an estimated 10% of all people living in America are allergic to animals?
 

Pet Dander is the Number one Cause of Allergies

If your beloved pet has left fecal matter or urine on your carpet or upholstery, it is imperative that you thoroughly clean and neutralize the entire area. While there is nothing that can eliminate pet stains like a professional carpet clean from your Steam Green Carpet Cleaning professional, there are some things that you can do at home between professional cleanings that can help keep your home fresh and odor free. Neutralizing is one of the most important components to keeping your pooch from urinating in the same spot. If your dog even gets a whiff of urine that you may have left behind he/she will continue to urinate in the same area over and over.
 

The knowledgeable carpet cleaning professionals at Steam Green Carpet Cleaning recommend the following solutions between professional deep cleaning treatments to combat emergency pet stains.

 
Remember: Always test in an inconspicuous area of carpet or upholstery before treating the stained area. If in doubt, contact your Steam Green Carpet Cleaning experts to schedule a professional spot clean.
 
Supplies you will need include: White vinegar, water, spray bottle, carpet brush, paper towels, baking soda, hydrogen peroxide, detergent, vacuum, and most importantly pet odor neutralizer.
• Search using your eyes and nose to find the dog stain on your carpet or upholstery. Once a stain has dried it can be very difficult to see. More often than not, urine will produce an offensive odor. Once you have located the stain, mix together equal parts of water and white vinegar and place in a spray bottle. Spray the mixture on the urine stain and allow the solution to lightly soak the carpet fibers. Using your carpet brush gently rub the solution and blot the area with paper towels.
• Allow the area to completely dry. Once dry, sprinkle a large handful of baking soda on to the carpet or upholstery. Mix together ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1 teaspoon of detergent. Using gloves pour the mixture over the baking soda. Once the baking soda dissolves, use your gloved fingers to rub the solution in the carpet finishing with a carpet brush to ensure that the solution reaches the carpet fibers.
• Once the carpet has completely dried, vacuum over the area thoroughly to remove any residue. If the stain is still visible, repeat the process until the stain has been removed, finishing with a liberal spray of a pet odor neutralizer to eliminate any trace odors from your carpet or upholstery.
 

If you are struggling with pet stain and odors caused by your beloved pets, contact the professional carpet cleaning technicians at Steam Green Carpet Cleaning and ask to speak to a customer service professional to schedule your in-home consultation and estimate today in Valley Village, Long Beach, Pasadena, Santa Monica, Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, Burbank, Calabasas, Beverly Hills, Thousand Oaks & Los Angeles CA.

There are many different circumstances where getting new carpet is essential for a home. But with a vast number of choices out there on the market, it can be mind boggling as to what kind of carpet you should get.
 

Steam Green Carpet Cleaning would like to offer some advice on carpet types and what cleaning and maintenance is required.

1. Carpet Durability: Especially if you desire to live in the home for many years to come, durability is a must. The better the durability, the better the longevity will be with proper care. When looking for the best durability the qualities to look for are the following:
 Carpet Construction
 Carpets Density or Thickness. When checking the density, look to see how closely the fibers are sewn together. The denser the carpet, the better and longer it will stand and will not be able to be crushed down. On the other side, carpet too thick will most likely not be soft. There are some extra dense carpets that are still soft but they are a rarity. Just remember it’s your carpet and you can be picky to find the perfect density without skimping on the softness.
 Carpet Fibers
– Wool: Highly durable, great softness and eco-friendly. But pricey; wool carpet is generally three times more expensive than average carpet.
– Nylon: Industry experts agree nylon is the most durable to handle foot traffic. Diverse hues are readily available and are generally soft. However, nylon is prone to stains, but can be pre-treated to help hinder the stains.
– Polyester: A nice alternative to nylon fibers, eco-friendly and resists stains.
2. Carpet Budget: Depending on your affordability, seeking the perfect carpet for the right cost can be tricky. Some carpets are marked up due to style and flare, but cleverly disguise the poor quality. However, good quality could be presented boring and un-stylish. Make sure you are dealing with a company with a good reputation, and do your homework on carpet fibers, styles and colors before you purchase. Don’t feel pressured by pushy salesman, get the carpet you want at a reasonable cost.
3. Carpet Types and Textures: There are several textures available.
– Plush Texture: A stiffer fiber of solid colors. Not as soft as other types but will not show foot prints or vacuum marks. Due to the tightness of the weave it will keep its texture longer than most.
– Plush Saxony: Retains shine for an aesthetic flare. Is soft and comfortable enough to sleep on.
– Berber: Carpet fibers are looped instead of stiffened straight up. Available in multi-colors. Not very comfortable to the touch but has high durability for foot traffic.
– Patterned: Comes in plush or Berber, but has a pattern assembled into the carpet.
– Print: Generally put together with designs and colors, and come in a wide range for unique style.
4. Additional Carpet Tips: Remember the carpet pad needs to be top of the line. That is what absorbs impact and can keep your carpet lasting longer.
– Be conscious of the style of room you already have with how your walls are surfaced, along with furniture, decor, and drapes. Your want the carpet to belong to the room already established.
– Get the right carpet better suited for your home. It is probably not a wise investment to get white wool when you have a family with clumsy fingers and many pitter patters of feet or furry pets.
