Does anyone remember this ad in the phone book?

This ad was used in the 1990s and is my favorite, though I admit I may be biased since it features yours truly. 😉

Side note: Does anyone still use the phone book?

A Surprising Enemy of Your Carpet- Soap! 💦

It may sound counterintuitive that cleaning a carpet shouldn't involve soap, but it's for a good reason. Soap requires A LOT of water to rinse out, even when only a tiny amount is used. Since you can't rinse your carpeting like you can wash your hands or a dish (you should never get it that wet, and logistically it's not practical), there will always be leftover residue you can't remove if you apply soap to your carpet. Since soap attracts dirt, the affected area will get dirtier faster. For this reason, it's best to use a soap-free spotter. We use soap-free detergents specifically designed for carpet cleaning to break down dirt and soil without leaving behind residue.

How to Keep Your Upholstery Looking Good When You've Got Fur Babies in the Home 🐾

How to Keep Your Upholstery Looking Good When You've Got Fur Babies in the Home 🐾

1. Vacuum your upholstery regularly (at least once a week) to remove pet hair and dirt. Pet hair contains oil that ATTRACTS soil, so this is very important.

2. Rotate the cushions occasionally, particularly in places favored by your pet, to promote even wear.

3. Reduce the amount of dirt, and other unwanted particles tracked onto your upholstery by wiping your pet's paws when entering the home (this is especially helpful when it's muddy outside). 🐾

4. Cover the section favored by your pet with a sheet or blanket, as these can be washed frequently. You may also consider purchasing a slipcover for more protection.

5. Avoid giving your pet chew toys that are greasy (particularly those made from pork) when they have access to your upholstery, as the oil can rub off. 🐷

6. Clean regularly. Professional cleanings help to keep your upholstery looking good and smelling fresh. It's important to schedule cleanings regularly (every 6-18 months) to keep spots from turning into permanent stains. 💦
