Hi everybody! You know, people often ask me, "Does "Green" cleaning really work?" or they might say, "My carpet is too dirty to clean...I'm waiting til I replace it." So today I wanted to give you a quick look at how well we can clean even really dirty carpet!
I did the job in this video yesterday up at Vallecito. This restaurant, Pura Vida, had such a good year last year that their once-green carpet was nearly black with grease and dirt, so before opening this spring they called me in to clean it.
As you can see, it's now clean and green again, courtesy of UltraSteam's "Green" Cleaning!
By the way, if you live around here, Pura Vida is well worth the beautiful drive up to Vallecito Lake from Bayfield or Durango for a delicious meal and a mango margarita. I especially like their Sunday breakfast.
And, if you've decided to keep your carpet another year before replacing it, or if you'd like to keep your carpet beautiful for years longer, give us a call at 385-8444 and we'll reserve you an appointment for a Carpet Audit, full of valuable information about your carpet, and an Exact Quote (not just an "estimate") for any work you may want done. Click this link if you'd like more information about our company and our cleaning services for carpet, upholstery, stone, tile and grout or wood floors.

Thanks for reading, and have a wonderful day!

Cleaning Carpet and Upholstery to Relieve Allergies
So you have allergies - either to pets, or dustmites and their waste. Often one of the the best remedies is having your carpet, rugs and upholstery professionally cleaned - preferably with "green" cleaning products that are hypoallergenic to be kind to your allergies. Learn more here about carpet and upholstery cleaning for allergy relief.
For people who are very allergic, there is a new Allergy Relief Treatment available from your professional cleaner. This natural, seed-derived after treatment works to denature pet and dustmite allergens for up to 6 months, so you can breathe easier.
I myself am mildly allergic to pets, yet still have a dog and 3 cats - and I saw the difference immediately the first time I used this product. (Needless to say, I now clean twice a year and use Allergy Relief afterward.) I've had quite a few clients with worse allergies than mine who were thrilled with the results, and have us clean and treat their carpet or upholstery on a regular basis to keep their indoor environment healthy.
In fact, I am so certain that cleaning and Allergy Relief Treatment will work wonders for you that I offer the following guarantee: If we clean and treat your carpet and upholstery, and you don't see a noticeable difference in 3 days, we'll refund the cost of the treatment. To date, nobody has ever taken me up on this offer - because it works!
In the Durango area, call 385-8444 to reserve your appointment for an exact quote on cleaning your home and relieving your allergies. Or learn more about carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning and the benefits it can bring you!

Allergy Relief For Your Home
Spring is coming, and allergies sometimes follow! Here are some tips to help minimize them:
1 - Know what you're allergic to. Some people (like myself!) are allergic to seasonal pollens, and these allergies can often be helped by a combination of diet, homeopathic remedies and non-prescription medications. Other people are allergic to dust mites, pet dander or other allergens that are more common indoors than out. A visit to your doctor may be in order, or ask him for a referral to an allergy specialist, to find out what you are allergic to and how best to treat it.
2 - Minimize your exposure to your allergens. If you're allergic to juniper pollen, for instance, refrain from walks in those woods while they're putting it out in the air. (Or if you're like me and can't resist, just bring some tissues.) And make sure that you don't have a big fat bush of whatever makes you sneeze planted right outside your open window! If you're allergic to indoor allergens, I have good news for you - just check out this link about how cleaning can relieve your allergies.
3 - Consider investing in a good vacuum (with a HEPA filter) This will help you out some no matter which allergies you have, but especially if they're the indoor type. Cheap vacuums, even those that say their bags "catch allergens" tend to actually let a lot of them back out in the air as you vacuum. Get a good vacuum once, and you'll notice the clean air difference as you clean - and you won't be replacing it all the time, either!
I have two vacuum recommendations, both moderately priced (around $500)
We use commercial Sanitaire HEPA uprights in our company to get the maximum dry soil removal before starting to clean your carpets. The model is SC9180, and can be bought at local vacuum stores, or from us directly. The Sanitaire uses disposable bags and has a washable HEPA filter, an extra-long cord and lots of power.
I also have many clients with Dyson vacuums who truly love them, particularly for their outstanding performance on pet hair. You can find these at larger retailers like Target or at hardware stores like Kroeger's here in Durango.
Next time I'll explain a little more about indoor allergens, and how we can help reduce your symptoms!
