Spring is in the air at Carpet Cleaning Raleigh NC

The recent spring storms have dampened the ground and allowed more soil to be transported into your home as you may have been noticing lately.

When it wet or damp soil sticks to shoes and pets feet getting absorbed by the dryness of carpet or other floor coverings of this nature.

You may have noticed more and more stuff on the carpet or around on the hard floors as well.. this can cause rapid soiling is not promply removed.

We recommend a good Hot Water cleaning of the carpet and if you have tile with grout line. Why the carpet is like fabric. It soft, helps reduce sound and provides a nice warm surface during winter unlike wood or tile. Cleaning helps keep this area clean and smelling nice.

Tile or hardwoods are not soft and warm but surve a good need. Like in kitchens with all the traffice, food stuff and potentional for spills they are in most cases the best choices.

We at Carpet Cleaning Raleigh NC recommend cleaning carpeted surfaces at least every 12 to 18 months depending on amount of traffic it gets. Tile and hardwoods need refreshing every 2-3 yrs again depending on traffic.

HOT weather IAQ and you.

As most everyone is aware this summer has been a hot one so far with no signs of letting up. That means we are spending more time indoors with the AC running full blast and the Indoor Air Quality( IAQ) is going down..

Why down you say. ??

When we spend more time inside the doors, windows are kept closed all the pollutents that come in with us as we travel around from home to work, the grocery store and of course the mall are trapped in there with us. Its harder to get the vacuum out as we are tired from the heat and work in general so letting it ride a bit longer seem easy way out..

Unfortunately that means you and your family are breathing in more and more of this polluted air.. What can you do about this problem.. Glad you ask..!!

1.)... run the vacuum more often.. but before you turn it on remove and replace the bag first thing, if so equipped. If not make sure the dust cup is clean and all filters are removed and washed out with soap and water,. Also if you have a hepa filter make sure it clean or replace with new one.

2.) check the air filter for the AC.. if you have not replaced them in the last 30 days do so now. I suggest the more expensive pleated type filters. They look like a "W" and do a better job of removing dust etc.. forget the CHEAP fiberglass filters you can see through.. they do NOTHING or almost nothing to help with IAQ..


3.) if you have not cleaned the carpet in the past 12 months now's a good time to do that as well.. Hot Water Extraction or HWE, aka Steam Cleaning, is a deep cleaning with very hot water that helps remove the dirt, dust and pollution from down in the carpet. With the warm weather and AC running most carpets are dry in 2-4 hrs.

So there you have it. A couple of tips for helping you are your family breath a bit more easy.

Give us a call to schedule a cleaning. We service all the Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Garner, Clayton and surrounding areas in NC..

Snow is great for kids.. they go out and play, roll around and bring the snow along with some dirt back in the house.. Plus with the house being closed up for the whole winter the carpet is working overtime to help filter the dust and pollution out of the air..

Spring is close and we look forward to helping you clean the air in your home.. A good hot water extraction carpet cleaning will remove the dirt and grime of a hard cold winter.

Another year has come and we look forward to seeing what it brings.. recently snow was the big news in our area.. schools are closed for day 3 due to road not being scraped by DOT. In years past you would see a couple snow plows every day. this year i have seen a total of 3 in the past 4 days and the subdivision roads are still in bad shape prompting the closing of schools for another day.

Oh well, that another thing to deal with and trying to work cleaning carpet and chimney in this stuff is a bear.. I was not able to get out on monday due to slick roads and the lack of salt/sand at a couple places that you have to stop on a hill before going onto the main road.

next couple of days are going to be wild as we are trying to catch up and keep up with the flow...

with school closed and the weather bad a lot of kids are going to be kooped up inside and ready to get out to play.. sunday and monday were good play in the snow days for sure.. bringing in lots of wet and dirty boots.

carpet cleaning will no doubt pickup soon as the weather will be getting nicer soon enough.

have a good one.

A New Year

A new year is upon us and I forward to making the most of it.. Last year was a good year as we posted a 5% gain over the previous years total. Not bad in a slow economy.

I attribute the increase to several thing.. One Karen in the office answering the phones and booking appointments, a steady onegoing direct mail campaign to keep our clients up to date and let them know we are available to provide service at any time. And to great client service before, during and after the appointment.

In times of a slowing economy and a booming economy you have to provide excellent client service and they will respond with more business, more referrals.

Let me take the time to say thanks and we value your business.

Fall is in the air.. Thanksgiving is close at hand.

The leaves are starting to change and the weather is starting to coolers.. that means football season is upon us again.. The Wolfpack of NC State have been doing good and bad.. They managed to win a couple games and have managed to loose the last 3 games.

But enough about NC State football.

This time of year we have baseball going into the playoffs and soon the World Series. Football is getting wound up good and basketball at the college level is starting practice.

The nights are getting cooler and in some parts of the country had snow already.. I see a snowier year in the east this season.. Just hope its not stormy in early march as we head to NH for a week of snow skiing near Loon Mt.

Last couple day the weather has been up and down. Today and yesterday were picture perfect with bright sun and low humidity.

We get a lots of calls for carpet and chimney cleaning as you image this time of year. The schedule get full quick and at the moment we are booked for some 2-3 weeks.

If you are wanting to have carpet, chimney, dryer vent cleaning done soon better call and get on the schedule today.

Thanksgiving will be upon us soon and you want to have the carpet and chimney clean before guest arrive.. Call today 919-772-8110 and let Karen be your guide.

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.

2009 have been a busy year so far.. We anitcapate growing again this year thank to great client referralls.

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..

Time for reflection on the past year that was 2008

Hello again,
As the days of summer come to a close I like to look back and take stock of all the positive encounters I have been privileged to attend.. Meeting and getting a chance to talk with a lot of our clients has made my life all the more richer and I feel very fortunate for that..

Also my involvement with the Garner Chamber of Commerce has been uplifting and exciting as well.. Meeting local business leaders and having the chance to ask them question about life and business has been a great boost for Absolute Best Carpet Care's great success.., that along with quality caring clients has helped us as we are booming even in a "slow" economy..

I hope my message of education, training and interrogatory has help along the way in this quest. We as a company made a commentate to only provide a high quality, honest and fair priced service knowing this was the right and only way to do business and we were correct.

In this time of thanksgiving please look around and help someone in need. I could be something simple as a kind word or encouragement for a job well done..


As always Karen and I, appreciate your continue business and hope you have a great holiday season.

Fall will be in the Raleigh NC area soon..

Fall will be upon us here in Raleigh soon. Now is the time to make plans to have your carpet and upholstery cleaned. With the price of carpet soaring, keeping it longer make better financial sense and we can help..

Recently we are getting clients that had someone come out to price replacing the carpet only to find out it very expensive due to high oil prices.. Carpet is made of nylon which is a oil byproduct so when oil goes up so does carpet prices along with everything else..

Earlier this year we cleaned a nice size home in Devils Ridge in Apex. The owner was taken back when they learned it would cost close to $10,000 to re-carpet the house they were selling. They called us and we were able to clean the carpet for only $600, a saving of $9400.00. Needless to say they were very please with the cleaning, the house sold quickly and they recommended us to their friends and neighbor in the Apex NC area..

Cleaning is one part of keeping carpet new looking longer.. Proper and frequent vacuuming also play a hand at this table.. The vacuum need to be maintained providing maximum suction with no or little loss of captured dust.. We recommend and HEPA equipped product to provide maxium airflow...

thanks and have good day..

Garner Chamber of Commerence Expo

We, along with about 100 other Garner, NC., business participated in the Annual Garner Chamber of Commence Expo, at the First Methodist Church, May 1, 2008.

At our booth we highlighted the Allergy Relief Treatment service we provide along with providing information on Carpet, Upholstery, Tile & Grout cleaning and the other service we provide in the Garner, Clayton, Raleigh NC areas.

There was an estimated 1200 locals coming through the door to see every thing from new dishwashers from Garner Appliance Center, to sampling free Ice Cream that was provided by our expo booth neighbor Cold Stone Creamery.

In addition to giving out info on how to avoid getting ripped off by uneducated, uniformed or sometime down right unscrupulous carpet cleaners, we had several drawings for Dollars off coupons, and a grand prize of %50 off any service we offer.

Notables we got pictures with include, Mayor of Garner, Ronnie Williams, along with the reigning Ms. Garner, Amanda Watson, who will be trying for the Ms. North Carolina title and eventually won the title of Ms. North Carolina..

The event was fun and enlightening according to several attendees we talked with during the Expo and we look forward to the next event in May 09..

Have a good one and we till get back here soon..
