Preparing for Carpet Cleaning in Residential Homes

Before having your carpets cleaned, the carpets need to be vacuumed. Vacuuming removes 79% of soil out of the carpet; removing this excess soil will give an overall better cleaning. Moving furniture is not necessary for carpet cleaning. 98% of Residential homes leave the furniture as is, and Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet will steam clean around the furniture. For more information, visit our website.

Carpet Cleaning and Patching Permenant Stains

Steam Cleaning with the use of a preconditioning treatment will clean out common spots without the use of additional products most of the time. Common Spots that come out with carpet cleaning are heavy soil from outside, grease and certain food spills. Red stains left behind from fruit juices, kool aid and wine can also be removed with an additional treatment and heat extraction method. Other various spots, that are considered permanent which are called stains that are unable to be removed with product and carpet cleaning can be patched so the stain will not be in a visible area of the room...an eye sore. So if a company has cleaned your carpet and claimed that there are no other options available to you and you are considering carpet replacement, think Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet and please visit our website for carpet repair options available.

Steam Cleaning Berber Carpet

Have you ever heard from a carpet cleaning company that Berber carpet is more expensive to clean? This is simply not true. Berber carpet is constructed out of the same materials as other styles of carpet, therefore they are cleaned the same way. Berber carpet should cost the same amount as other styles of carpet. A true statement on Berber carpet is that is may take a little longer to complete the job but not enough time to justify a higher expense. At Magic Carpet we steam clean all types and styles of carpet. A preconditioning treatment is applied and the carpet is cleaned with truck mounted hot water extraction cleaning.

Removing Furniture Stains from Carpet

When carpet is wet and metal or wood furniture is placed or sits on top of the wet carpet a furniture stain can be left behind. This stain is 98% permanent. But don't worry, you have other options. Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet specializes in carpet repairs for those types of permanent stains. A technician can put a patch in the damaged area. This means, the stain is cut out of the carpet and placed in a space such as a closet. The section in the closet is placed where the stain was cut out from. End Result; Furniture stain gone.
The grade and age of the carpet will effect the overall outcome of the appearance of the patch. The better the grade, the more fibers and harder to see the seams. The newer the carpet, the less likely fibers are missing or worn to hide the seam. After patches are complete, we can then steam clean your carpet. Steam cleaning must be done after any repair work such as patches and seams are complete. That type of work cannot be done on wet carpet. Please visit our website for more information

Removing Pet Urine from Carpet Cleaning

Have you had your carpets professionally cleaned and the pet urine appeared to go away and now its back? Your probably thinking you have to keep cleaning this carpet all the time to get the urine out or your just out of luck. Not the case.
Pet Urine is sticky and hard to remove with water (hot or not) and a preconditioning treatment. Urine never dries and stays in the carpet attracting dirt because it is so sticky.
A couple of options to remove pet urine can be done based on your budget. Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet's professional certified trained technician can apply a topical enzyme treatment to the stain and then clean it out with the hot water extraction carpet cleaning method. This enzyme will open the urine salts and allow them to be extracted out of the carpet. Another option to you is a Full GOC; Guaranteed Odor Control. This is a more extensive process and costs more, but Magic Carpet can guarantee the smell and stains to be gone. A technician will pull the carpet up and remove the affected padding, seal the sub floor if needed, replace the padding, treat the back and the front of the carpet with the enzyme and clean the carpet after tacking it all back down. This method removes the SOURCE of the odor, which is the sub floor and the padding.
So if you are having issues with this; please do not resort to the over the counter products, as you are throwing money away, let the professionals at Magic Carpet come out for a free on site estimate and give you options to a Healthier Home Environment. Please visit our website for additional information on GOC procedures.

How to Remove those Black Lines around the Edges of Residential Carpet

Have you ever wondered what those black lines around the edges of your room are? These lines are called filtration soil. The cause of filtration soil is simple. When your HVAC unit turns on and forces the air out of the room (air exchanges); this air leaves and travels under the walls, baseboards and doors. Filtration soil is a type of residential pollution from dust and airborne pollutants in the air that is filtered through your carpet collecting around the edges of the rooms at baseboards creating the black lines.
Can it be removed? Yes and No. Filtration soil is more easily removed once it starts to appear. Once it becomes dark in color it becomes a more permanent stain harder to remove. At this point its likely that 80% of the black color can be removed and leave a very light colored stain behind.

Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet specializes in removing these types of stains. We have a product that is specially designed for filtration soil removal followed by professional carpet cleaning. For more information visit our website.
Recommendations to eliminate filtration soil lines: service your HVAC unit filters and have air ducts cleaned. Carpet Cleaning Atlanta by Magic Carpet offers Air Duct Cleaning Services.

How to Remove Spots from Your Carpet

We all have seen the over the counter products in the stores that remove spots from Food to Wine...keep in mind if this removes the wine, it might remove the color too. Be Careful. First remove the excess contamination from the carpet fibers, then apply some luke warm water and club soda on the spot and gently with a white or neutral colored washcloth blot up the contamination from the outside edge of the spot working inward. Do not rub or agitate in the spot, this may cause fiber distortion which can overall make the fibers reflect light differently and appear to still be dirty.
The problem with the over the counter products, is they can sometimes set a stain where professionals are unable to remove it after the fact. These products can also leave a heavy residue which will attract soil particles eventually creating a stain in that area.
We use hot water extraction carpet cleaning with truck mounted equipment. If you find that you are having problems with spots in your carpet, we can clean them out for you. Also, we offer a FREE bottle of Professional At Home Spotter Remover to all our residential customers. This product does miracles, it will remove the spot and will NOT leave a residue behind to attract any soil particles.
