Rug Cleaning in Norman

More and more, we all have incorporated area rugs into our home décor.  Sometimes they serve a utility purpose, but the ones we enjoy the most are the rugs that add to the look of the room or may even be the starting point for all other design.  Many rugs are a great masterpiece lying beneath our feet.Unlike the great vase or the beautiful piece of art on the wall, the area rug is plagued by gravity.  Rugs cannot escape the torture of kids, pets, and regular use.  Many fine area rugs are receiving a heavy dose of life each and every day.Sooner Carpet Cleaning technicians see many of these rugs.  Many customers ask us to clean them on site.  This may seem like a quick solution, but I want to let you know that we at Sooner Carpet Cleaning (405-329-8999) can do so much more with one of your most valued pieces of décor.At our facility, we can take the time to properly perform dry soil removal prior to the cleaning process.  Depending on the rug material, age and specific problems, we can customize our cleaning to obtain the best results for each rug.One of our customers sends a beautiful Pottery Barn rug to us on a regular basis.  This yellow and blue floral rug sits under the family table.  It receives lots of living from shoes, foods and pets.  We take care each time to work on individual spots and trim & tuck fibers that may have worked their way to the surface.  Applying a protector, such as Scotchguard, will help the home cleaning and extend the time between professional cleanings.

Oriental Rug Care
Oriental Rug Care

As one of our customers, I want to give you a great tip regarding your fine area rug.  If possible, flip over one corner or section of your rug with the top of the rug laying on a hard surface.  Take your vacuum and vacuum the backing of your rug just like you would normally on the top.  After thoroughly vacuuming the back of your rug, return it to its normal location and inspect the floor below where you just vacuumed the rug.  Is there a layer of sand on the floor?  Most times there is.  No matter how good we are at housekeeping, dirt, sand and fine particles find their way into the depths of our carpets.Now you could spend hours trying to coerce all the particles out of your rug or you can give Sooner Carpet Cleaning a call.  We will do even more than getting rid of that dust.  Dust and stain removal, fringe cleaning and deodorizer are just a few of the many steps we take when giving your rug the Royal Sooner Carpet treatment.You can trust your oriental rugs and other fine rugs to Sooner Carpet Cleaning. Our approach to cleaning oriental rugs is a careful multi-step process that leaves your rug smelling fresh and looking great. Pickup and delivery are available, so give us a call and get your fine rugs looking great once again. (405) 329-8999.

Stay Fresh: Carpet Cleaning Style

Stay Fresh: Carpet Cleaning StyleOne of the best tips for maintaining great carpet is to be sure to vacuum at least once a week! Seems simple enough but, it is also great to keep in mind to give special attention to those areas that family and friends are constantly venturing through. To combat unwanted odors, add a little baking soda to the vacuum cleaning bag.*Note: for any over-achievers out there, let’s take it one step further with this home remedy:

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup crushed dried rosemary or lavender (or your favorite dried herb-- get creative!)
  • Combine the ingredients and spread lightly over carpet. Let it settle for a few minutes before vacuuming.

 Just like my daily routine, I like to mix up my cleaning routine; hopefully this simple mixture can make chores a little more motivating.For those carpets and rugs that need a real makeover, please do not hesitate to call Sooner Carpet Cleaning! Our services also include: water restoration, dryer vent cleaning, air duct cleaning, chimney cleaning, and sooner contracting.

checkmark
There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other components of your heating and cooling system. There are several important points to understand concerning mold detection in heating and cooling systems:
  • Many sections of your heating and cooling system may not be accessible for a visible inspection, so ask the service provider to show you any mold they say exists.
  • You should be aware that although a substance may look like mold, a positive determination of whether it is mold or not can be made only by an expert and may require laboratory analysis for final confirmation. For about $50, some microbiology laboratories can tell you whether a sample sent to them on a clear strip of sticky household tape is mold or simply a substance that resembles it.
  • If you have insulated air ducts and the insulation gets wet or moldy it cannot be effectively cleaned and should be removed and replaced.
  • If the conditions causing the mold growth in the first place are not corrected, mold growth will recur.

Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects); or

Chimney Cleaning Norman OK

Looking for Chimney Cleaning in Norman?  Look no further.Sooner Carpet Cleaning and Restoration is the number one place customers go to keep their chimney functioning properly.We came across this article recently and wanted to share it with you.How Stuff Works:Most fireplaces are made of solid steel, iron, or masonry, requiring few fixes. If your fireplace has glass windows, a periodic cleaning with vinegar and a stiff brush will keep them clean. There are some fireplace fixes you can do in just an hour or two once a year. The most practical one is cleaning the chimney.A straight chimney with a clean-out door at the bottom is relatively easy to clean. Before starting any chimney cleaning job, however, make sure the fireplace doors are fully closed and sealed or, if it's an open fireplace, that it is covered with cloth or cardboard and sealed. You don't want soot in your home.Chimney cleaning brushes are available at many hardware stores and building material retailers. If you purchase a set, make sure they are the correct size for your chimney. You also can construct your own chimney cleaner by weighting a burlap bag with old rags, sawdust, or some other waste material and lowering it into the chimney from the top. Raise and lower the bag several times and the soot will dislodge from the sides and fall to the bottom of the chimney where it can be removed with a small shovel.To test the chimney for possible leaks, start a fire in the fireplace and, when it is burning well, throw in some material that will cause smoke. When the smoke begins to billow from the top of the chimney, cover it with a piece of heavy, wet cloth for a short time. This will force the smoke to find some other exit from the chimney, if one exists. Mark any leaks with a piece of chalk and repair them later with a chimney patch product available at larger hardware stores. Contact Sooner Carpet Cleaning & Restoration today!

What is Water Restoration and Why is it Important.

When you have water damage to your home or business, it is very important that the water be extracted as quickly as possible.  The information below is from wikipedia.  If you have any questions, give Sooner Carpet Cleaning a call or fill out our online form.Water damage restoration is the process of restoring a property back to pre-loss condition after sustaining any level of water damage. While there are currently no government regulations in the United States dictating procedures, two large certifying bodies, the IICRC and the RIA, do recommend standards of care. Most companies use the IICRC procedural standard, which is the S500. It is based on reliable restoration principles, research and practical experience with extensive consultation and information gathered from numerous sources. These include the scientific community, the international, national and regional trade associations serving the disaster restoration industry, chemical formulators and equipment manufacturers, cleaning and restoration schools, restoration service companies, the insurance industry, allied trades persons and others with specialized experience. The S500 water damage guide is subject to further revision as developments occur in technology, testing and processing procedures.

Loss assessment and evaluation

A professional water damage restoration service will document the materials which were affected by the water damage and refer to industry standard pricing guides such as The Blue Book in order to determine the proper value of the residence's materials lost and their service.Water damage services include the inspection of the affected area(s) with water sensing equipment such as probes and other infrared tools in order to determine the source of the damage, and possible extent of area affected. Restoration services would then be rendered to the residence in order to dry the structure, sanitize any affected or cross contaminated areas, and deodorize all affected areas and materials. After the labor is completed, water damage equipment including, but not limited to, air movers, air scrubbers, dehumidifiers, wood floor drying systems, and sub floor drying equipment is left in the residence. After a period of two to three days are the labor is completed, a reevaluation of the residence is taken to monitor the drying process, and any equipment not further needed is removed as to keep the charges under control.
