Here at Upright Cleaning & Restoration we strive to accommodate business with their needs. We work around their schedule and whats best for them and their customers. Cleaning carpets in your business is important for many reason and having a locally owned business to clean your property has other advantages in itself.

Some of the benefits for having your carpets cleaned some are very obvious and others are not. Some of the obvious reasons are what are your customers first impressions? Is your building clean and organized or is it messing and dirty. I tend to stray away from places that I feel that are dirty and unorganized or cluttered feeling. I feel if they don’t have the pride to keep their business clean what kind of product can they really produce. I as a customer want to feel welcomed and at ease when I first come in a business. One of the first things that keep my mind at ease is if your place is clean. Now some of the not so much obvious reasons are your employees. Studies have shown that properly cleaned carpet helps reduce symptoms and is the best flooring choice for those dealing with asthma and allergies. With you and your employees being inside your business hours at a time helping improve this keeps your employees healthy while in your business. Which also helps keep moral and productivity up.

Here are a few Pictures of a local business in the ti-state area that we cleaned afterhours on a Sunday. If you look to the left of the pictures you can see the big difference in the carpet and the dirt that we where able to extract. This made such a big difference and we where very excited that they allowed us and trusted us to be able to provide services for them

Identifying and Fixing Mold in your Crawlspace

Normally, indoor mold is not problematic until mold spores begin growing in moisture-rich environments. Throughout the Midwestern United States, crawlspaces tend to provide the ideal conditions and environment for mold to proliferate. This mold can then spread to other home areas via spores, eventually becoming visible.  The following are the most common causes of mold in a crawlspace:

  • Faulty or missing Vapor Barrier
  • Improper, faulty, missing, or insufficient drainage
  • Missing or malfunctioning sump pump

If you discover mold in your crawlspace, make certain to contact a professional contractor that specializes in mold remediation. The wrong approach can do more harm than good. Ideally, the accredited professional should remove the mold and provide a remedy to the main cause(s.) After all, getting rid of the mold is pointless, without properly addressing the cause(s.)

Truly removing the mold is an involved and laborious process as well. Spraying some chemicals and doing nothing else will not, “fix” a mold problem. The mold remediation professional should be willing to undergo third party air quality testing to ensure that the air is safe.

Professionals at Upright Cleaning and Restoration have undergone extensive training to properly advise and remediate customers on mold issues. We will work with you to do the best job possible.

Scotchguard Protectant for carpet, sofas, and upholstered furniture.

Upright Cleaning Offers Scotchguard Protection Services

Clients frequently ask us about this product and we can’t recommend it enough. Scotchguard, a 3M product, is the most recognized brand of protectant for carpet, sofas, and upholstered furniture. The proper application of Scotchguard should not change the look or feel of carpets and rugs, while serving as a highly effective stain and durable water repellent. The main benefits of it use are listed below:

Protection / Prevention

  • Scotchguard repels both water-based and oil-based spills.
  • Scotchguard resists soiling and staining of the coated fibers.

Easier Maintenance / Clean-Up

  • If treated with Scotchguard, soot and stains tend to release more easily when cleaned, since the contaminants have more difficulty bonding to the fibers. Additionally, spills tend to blot up before the set as stains.

In 2003, 3M reformulated Scotchguard to be more environmentally friendly. It is unlikely that carpet cleaning companies recognize the impact of the reformulation on the product’s shelf life. The old product, using PFOS, had a shelf-life of 5.4 years. The new product, using PFBS, has a shelf life of a little over one month. It not uncommon for cleaning companies to do bulk orders on chemicals, then warehouse them, with less than ideal storage methods. The efficacy and potency of this product may be reduced for the consumer.

Upright Cleaning & Restoration trains it technicians on the correct storage, use, and application of Scotchguard products. We recommend the use of Scotchguard with carpet and upholstery cleanings every six months. Call to Make An Appointment Today!

Get the Carpet Cleaning Value You Are Paying For

It is not uncommon for carpet cleaning companies to sell you steam cleaning, but provide an inferior service. Similar to the recently unearthed scandal involving millions of not-so-green diesel engines, consumers are susceptible to chicanery and misrepresentation from carpet cleaning companies as well. To Get the Carpet Cleaning Value You Are Paying For, stay informed.

Not all steam carpet cleaning is the same.

It is not safe to assume that all carpet cleaning services will perform the same job. Not all carpet cleaning equipment is created equally, not all services possess the same capabilities, and cleaning methodology varies between companies. When choosing a professional to clean your carpet, find out what they are putting in your carpet and how hot their water actually gets. Generally speaking, hotter water is better.

Hot water extraction = less residual chemicals in your carpet.

Industry professionals and carpet manufacturers recommend hot water extraction for cleaning. Utilizing hot water extraction, in a non-abrasive method, requires less chemicals and has the lowest likelihood of damaging your property. According to the EPA, indoor environments are two to five times more toxic than our outdoor environment. The water temperature needs to be at least 212 degrees and above to kill microorganisms while cleaning. Using a hot water extraction method leaves less residual chemicals in your carpet. Lingering chemicals and/or shampoos in your carpet may pose health issues and can cause your carpet to soil faster.

We Are Pet And Kid Friendly.

At Upright Cleaning & Restoration we use pet and kid friendly solutions. Our water gets as hot as 240 degrees and our hot water extraction method is unsurpassed in our industry. We believe in providing the best service available to our clients. Furthermore, we endeavor to inform consumers, better enabling them to get the value they are paying for.
