13 Sep 09 Controlling of fleas in Carpet, Furniture and Curtains
By Nathan Nwachukwu
It is very important to vacuum and steam clean your carpet at regular intervals. Vacuum clean three ti9mes a week and carpet clean, every six months or 1 year. This will keep your carpet in a good condition. Keeping your carpet dirty will attract unwanted bugs like (Fleas, Mites, and Flees) est into your home, especially if, you have pets like cats or dogs. The pets such as cats or dogs lies on the furniture’s and carpets making it difficult to clean.
It is very difficult to clean your carpet and furniture than cleaning other types of flooring because; hairs and other dirt can easily stick on the carpet. If you don’t clean the hairs regularly, it will build up, making vacuuming really difficult. In this case, you need a hard brush to remove, some of the hairs before vacuuming and deodorising in order to remove the smell.
The fleas multiply so fast. Fleas are insects, a tiny organism when seen under a (Microscope), can be very destructive in nature. This organism bites, and sucks blood from human beings.
This tiny insect lives on host and lay eggs in pets. These eggs are seen on beds, carpets, clothes, curtains, e.t.c. Theses eggs develop into Lava. Within two weeks, the Lava develops into a legless Pupa for 200 days, which remain like that for one year, in a stable condition. They develop into adult fleas, controlling these menacing problems, can be difficult.
Before using chemicals to control fleas, you have to try non chemicals first. You have to vacuum clean carpets, furniture, under the furniture’s curtains, and comb your pets. It is advisable to spring clean your house, wash all clothing and curtains because the cats and dogs move around and the fleas fly.
The vacuuming should do every day and all disposable should be taken away from the house, carpets should be steam cleaned.
It is important to make note that controlling pest does not mean it will kill some of the insects. Controlling pests is interfering with the life cycles and managing target populations.

10 Sep 09 Carpet Cleaning Procedure and Standard
By Nathan Nwachukwu
Many carpet cleaners do start cleaning, without actually understanding, the meaning of carpet cleaning. There are various things that have to be taken into consideration, before you start cleaning carpets:
1) What type of carpet?
2) What fibre is the carpet made?
3) Can the carpet fade after washing?
4) What backing is under the carpet?
5) Can it be clean with water (possible damage, shrinking, dye bleed)
Before you start cleaning, you have to explain to the customer or client, the possible outcome. If he/she gives you the go ahead, you can start cleaning. This is done to avoid any sort of problem that could occur after cleaning.
The carpet has to be tested for a dye bleed. This has to be done at the corner. This test will determine the type of chemical to use and the PH value.
One possible mistake, I have discovered a lot of carpet cleaners make, is that. They do not break the pile before they start vacuuming.
It is important to vacuum before cleaning, in order to avoid the dust going underground and re-appearing after cleaning.
Heavily traffic, soil and stain area has to be treated properly with stain remover and make sure they do not spread, while trying to remove the stains completely, do not over wet the carpet.
After, you have finished the treatment of the stains and spots. The carpet should be checked after cleaning, making sure, the spots, stains and soiling are properly removed, if not, should be treated again with a proper stain remover.
The carpet has to be uniformed, not patchy. Experience, has shown, that not all stains can be remove but with proper stain removal. You can achieve a good result.
After cleaning, the carpet pile should be combed up with a carpet groom. This will bring back brightness and hast the drying, and if, furniture is to be placed on the carpet, you have to make sure a furniture pad is placed underneath, the carpet to prevent rust, stains on the clean carpet.
