Busy Week, business is really picking up.. YEAH

Last couple of days have been real nice. getting lots of calls for carpet cleaning. Seems like a lot of people are realizing that a good cleaning will help the carpet last and look better longer.

I like to tell the story about changing the oil in your car every 5-7000 miles or when the "Change Oil Soon" light comes on. I think the message of change the oil every 3000 mile is not good for the environment or your pocket book. Most modern cars can go up to 7500 miles between oil changes. Check you owner manual for the real number or like my 2009 Chev Impala LTZ it goes by how many engine revolutions and other factors the computer is looking at, all so modern.

So what does changing the oil in your car and cleaning carpet have to do with each other. Simple, if you take better care of something it will last longer, be less costly and look and preform better over its life.

We get questions about what is the best product to take spot out of carpet.. We offer and give to all clients a bottle of carpet spotter called "POOF". it a good mutli-use spotter that works for most spills. There is no one thing that works for every thing. The best defense is get it up, get water on it, blot with towel and get it dry.

Hope every one had a good memorial day, We did here in the Garner NC area.

Memorial day has come and gone again. Every year we have a family get together and to honor all those that served and lost their lives and for the one that served and survived.

We have a couple of former service people in the family.. one was air force, another Army and my self Army Reserve.

We mail out another post card to the Eagle Ridge golf community area and the tue after memorial day the phones lite up with 9-12 call for carpet cleaning service in that Garner NC community area..

On that note let me add the post cards we mail are the best way to market your service or company to a select group of homeowners.. We know a lot of folks have carpet in the home. Some get it cleaned every 1-2 years and other go for 10 or more before cleaning. I wonder how they can stand to have dirty carpet on the floor and not want to get it cleaned at least once a year..

I know at my house with kids and dog the carpet get dirty looking faster than normal.. Carpeting over the past year has gone through several "upgrades" as it were.. The newer type of carpeting called "Type 7" is the latest technoly in carpeting.. the new carpets stuff that is 8 yrs old and younger is better in hiding dirt.. So when the carpet look dirty its real dirty at the floor level.

Something else to know about the newer carpets and warrentys.. Most mill are requiring,, that right requiring you have the carpet cleaned at least once every 24 month by a IICRC certifed firm to maintain the carpet for warranty issues. Check you paper work or go to the manf website and check it out.. No cleaning,, NO warranty if needed..

thats all for now have a good week

Carpet Cleaning at The Pit BBQ resturant.

We have been cleaning the carpet at The Pit BBQ restaurant in downtown Raleigh for the past couple of months. One of the managers Lee tells us what a great job we are doing for them. The first time we cleaned he was telling me about another company they used and made them come back the next sat to redo the job.

He was telling us how we did a better job in one cleaning than this other company did in TWO cleanings.. that sure make you feel good knowing you are doing a good job for the client..

If you have not tried The Pit BBQ do your self, or better your mouth, a favor and give them a try.
they are located at 328 W. Davie St, in Raleigh NC.. Ed Mitchell has been interviewed by a great many magazines and on TV with the likes of Rachel Ray, Bobby Flay of Food Network and others.

So in closing have a good day and remember The Pit is BBQ..NC style.

Hello,
This is Carl.

Just back from my 1st Hurricanes game this year.. My brother in law got tickets for tonight's game against Buffalo Sabers.. We were in row E to the right of the goal near the face off circle.. great seats and right down by the action..( man i'm spoiled now. :))

Looking forward to 2009 we see good growth and in the future the need to hire a Tech helper on the trucks to learn the proper way to work with our great clients giving them superior service with a warm friendly smile and confidence of good training and on the job training.

So far, we have maintained a busy schedule even during these hard economic times.. Every day we hear how bad it is, and while it's bad in some areas of the country, we in this area, seem not to experiencing the unprecedented drop in home values or the massive unemployment rates that are so prevalent in a few other states.

In time like these it reinforces what we have know all along, that the importance of providing good service and great value will all way's be appreciated by your clients. They will refer friends and family without hesitation. We have not and will not change the way we do business..

With that said, we look forward to see you again soon or if you have not done business with us I look forward to helping you preserve one of the largest investments you have in your home, the floor covering to include carpet, hardwoods and the tile and grout..

Have a good day and please give us a call at 919-772-8110 to schedule a free quote today..
