Call Us For All Your Professional Floor & Upholstery Cleaning Needs!

3/3/2020

 
You bought new replacement wall-to-wall carpet for your living room and now you're wondering when you should have it professionally cleaned and how much it will cost.  Action Carpet & Floor Covering offers professional carpet cleaning services that we are super proud of!  Our expert floor cleaning technician, Tony, is one of the most meticulously thorough guys we've ever met.  If he can't get the stain out (and it's NOT EVER for lack of trying) NO ONE can get the stain out!  Tony recommends that you have your carpets cleaned at least annually, more often if you have pet stains and odors.

Tony cleans carpets with a truck-mounted high pressure hot water extraction system.  He himself is very sensitive to chemical emissions, so he only uses the most effective cleaning agents with the most minimal odors/irritants.  His cleaning method will leave your carpets clean, bright, fresh smelling and looking brand new again.  Tony will place protectors on the legs of any furniture that has been left in the room to be cleaned around, and the slight dampness that remains in the carpet will dry quickly.

Our current minimum charge for carpet cleaning is $175 which covers approximately 400 square feet.  (i.e. two 12X12 rooms, a hallway and one set of stairs)

Tony can also clean your area rugs and upholstery while he's there!  The 2020 charges are as follows:
Standard sofa:  $125-$135 depending on size
Sectional: $175
Love seat:  $89
Wing chair or recliner:  $60
Dining room chairs:  $25/chair
Area rugs:  $2.00/sq. ft. -- min. charge is $25

Carpet Cleaning 101

12/6/2019

 
Now that you have that beautiful new carpet, you need to know how to care for it.  Shaw Floors has put together this cleaning guide that you may want to refer to. 

How to clean carpet?  Here are the basics:
 
  • Preventative Maintenance - walk-off mats placed at doorways prevent a majority of staining and soiling 
  • Spot and Spill Removal - prompt attention to spills will prevent a stain from setting 
  • Vacuuming - vacuum high-traffic areas to prevent matting
  • Hot water Extraction or steam cleaning - every 18 months or more depending on the traffic in your home, will remove oils and particulates that accelerate soiling.

Action Carpet & Floor Covering offers professional cleaning services.  We use a truck-mounted hot water extraction system.  Call us first for all your floor cleaning needs.  Mention this blog post and receive 10% OFF your first professional cleaning!  Call 860-651-8406.

Did You Know We Do Mold Remediation?

7/17/2018

 
Among so many other services, we also provide Mold/Mildew Remediation!  We are certified to inspect for and remediate mold issues in any part of your home.  Call us for a free quote.

The first step for the home owner is to determine where the water is entering and make the necessary repairs to prevent further water and moisture from entering your home.  Once all repairs are made, Action will come in and seal off the affected area to eliminate exposure to other areas of the house.  Properly outfited in a protective hazmat suit, our licensed and certified technician will use a bleach-based solution to scrape, scrub and fog the mold away.  All removed mold, cleaning materials and unsalvageable construction and wall/floor covering will be carefully encapsulated and removed from the house for proper disposal.

We work closely with insurance companies to rid your home of potentially toxic mold.  Below are the Specific Recommendations listed on the CDC website for keeping mold out of buildings:
  • Keep humidity levels as low as you can—no higher than 50%–all day long. An air conditioner or dehumidifier will help you keep the level low. Bear in mind that humidity levels change over the course of a day with changes in the moisture in the air and the air temperature, so you will need to check the humidity levels more than once a day.
  • Use air conditioner or a dehumidifier during humid months.
  • Be sure the home has adequate ventilation, including exhaust fans in kitchen and bathrooms.
  • Use mold inhibitors which can be added to paints.
  • Clean bathroom with mold-killing products.
  • Do not carpet bathrooms.
  • Remove and replace flooded carpets.

​For an inspection and quote, please call us at 860-651-8406.
