Carpet or hard-surface flooring, which is really best?
The answer might surprise you. Many homeowners are learning how expensive shortsightedness can be. However, many others still don’t know the whole story: For roughly 10 years, the popularity of hard-surface floors were abounding as carpet sales dropped. However, for the last three years, carpet sales have been on the rise again. Why the turnaround?
The two primary reasons many people went to hard surfaces were:
Ease of maintenance. Sweep it, mop it, and forget it … so they thought. And with hard surfaces, they no longer had to endure the ugly, dirty pathways associated with carpeting.
Once hard surfaces were installed, they no longer had to be concerned with replacing them, at least not for a very long time.
So, the additional expense seemed worth it. However, once they had spent far more money (than carpet) buying stone, ceramic tile, hardwood and other hard surface types, many people found that their insights were not all that insightful: They discovered that:
Hard surface floors accumulate soils just like carpeting. They found that many hard surface types were just as difficult (if not more) to clean than carpet. Simply mopping the floors didn’t remove the ugly dirt that had collected in crevices and grout lines.
They now had a noise pollution problem in their homes. Quieter, previously-carpeted rooms suddenly became nosier because hard surfaces didn’t absorb sound.
The likelihood of physical injuries from falls was greater, having no carpet and pad, no softness under foot, to fall upon. And they found that there were more falls from coming indoors with damp shoe leather on rainy days. Children and the elderly were injured most commonly.
There were no excessively soiled carpet pathways, however now the soils were distributed equally all over the house.
Indoor air quality had dropped, and allergy problems increased significantly. Air currents created by foot traffic and air handling systems stirred settled dust back into the air, while carpeting did a better job of holding it in place. They found that they couldn’t sweep their hard surfaces but had to mop, because sweeping stirred dust into the air.
Due to #5 flooring maintenance increased from a weekly vacuum of carpets to a daily need to sweep or swiffer the hard surface flooring. Additionally costs to maintain air ducts and filters also increased.
When it became time to have a professional deal with hard floor cleaning or restoring they also discovered that the costs of such procedures were much higher than maintaining carpeting.
While their hard surfaces endured longer than carpet; when people got bored of the same décor changing out the expensive hard surface flooring was going to be a costly venture. Yes, they could buy new furniture and drapes but these new furnishing somehow didn’t look all that new in a room with old floors (that they were tired of looking at but had spent untold thousands more to install or replace compared to carpeting).
In hind-sight it appears that carpeting offers far more advantages than hard surfaces, which explains the increase in carpet sales. Still, it’s also obvious that hard or soft there is no final solution to the floor-maintenance problem.
We must accept the fact that whatever covers the floor has to be cleaned and should be cleaned properly. Further, proper maintenance is no job for a ‘handyman.’ It requires knowledge, expertise, and caring. We have the knowledge. We have the expertise and we care about your home! Pleasing you is our business purpose. We’re here for you.

Carpets Effect on Allergies:
Don’t Toss ’em… They’re Awesome! The science of indoor air quality is very interesting and relatively new. In the past, the focus was on the quality of the outside air and the interest was in lowering emissions of all types into the air.
Since we now spend more time indoors - an average of 90% of our time - indoor air quality has become a concern to the EPA, as well as government and private health organizations.
Following the energy-saving efforts of the 70’s and 80’s, buildings and homes are now much more air-tight, leaving little opportunity for diluting the indoor air with fresh air from outside. Indoor air has thus become more polluted.
But what’s the connection between indoor air quality and carpets? In the past, physicians recommended that their asthma and allergy-suffering patients remove carpeting from the home. It was erroneously thought that carpeting exasperated their conditions. Recently, the EPA performed a study of hundreds of homes, schools and office buildings and concluded that the choice of carpeting as a floor covering was actually beneficial in the fight against asthma and allergies. When scientifically tested, the air in the “breathing zone” above carpets was found to contain fewer allergens than the air above hard surfaces.
Carpet tends to collect and hold the allergens out of the air, where they remain, until the carpet is vacuumed or professionally cleaned. In contrast, allergens that settle on hard surface flooring tend to be redistributed to the breathing zone with normal foot traffic or the simple act of running a broom over the flooring surface.
One unfortunate result of the EPA’s study is that we now know that many families removed carpeting from their homes in an effort to reduce allergy symptoms, only to find that they gained no improvement in their conditions. Their carpeting was an asset, rather than a detriment, to the quality of their indoor air.
In concluding that carpeting is a benefit to indoor air, the EPA now recommends that carpeting be cleaned at least every 6 months - in most homes - to rid the carpeting of these allergens. A carpet that is not regularly maintained has a reduced ability to collect indoor air pollutants.
Tips for Reducing Indoor Allergens
Following, are some tips for reducing indoor allergens in your home and specifically, in your carpeting - helping you to keep your “home sweet home” a healthy one for you and your family:
Vacuum, vacuum, vacuum! This cannot be stressed enough. You should vacuum at least twice a week, more often if you have pets.
Vacuuming helps rid your carpeting of dust, dust mite feces, animal hair and dander, human hair and dead skin, mold spores, dead bugs and abrasive sand and soil. Make sure that you use a vacuum cleaner that has a high efficiency HEPA filtering system and ensure that the brush setting is low enough to agitate the carpet fibers.
Don’t sweep your hard surface flooring. Sweeping redistributes allergens into the air. Vacuuming your floors, followed by a damp mop or swiffer, will help keep the air your family breathes cleaner.
Adopt a no shoes policy in your home; this will keep outdoor pollutants from entering the main areas of your home. You may also consider adding an air-scrubber as this machine will continually circulate the air in your home through the air filters, removing airborne particulates. Make sure that you change the filter often. Also consider using high-efficiency HEPA air filters in the furnace and adding filters to the intake and output ducts to further reduce circulation of contaminants.
Follow these simple tips, and not only will you have a healthier home, but your carpeting will last longer also.

Pet Stains and Odors
Although you may not be aware of the odors caused by pets urinating on the carpet right now...come Spring when the temperature and humidity rise you will be!
Due to lower humidity levels during winter months the urine salts present in carpet simply do not have enough moisture to generate bacteria, thus there is little or no odor. The lack of moisture however will soon change with the arrival of warmer temperatures, and so will the odor causing bacteria that are presently dormant.
I’m sure you have tried in vain to clean up areas, but nothing seems to work on the odor problem. There is help! By treating the urine deposits with our specially formulated digester, these nasty urine odor problems will disappear for good.
Finding urine can be a bit tricky since not all carpets actually have the telltale yellow stains. Since most of the urine is located under the carpet this further complicates finding the source of urine odors. I do however have a system designed to find the urine so that it can be treated from the surface of the carpet. An inspection using this system also reveals the magnitude of an existing urine problem so that the appropriate treatment can be employed. For the most part simple injections of the digesters are enough to cure the problem of the odor. In extreme cases the carpet as a whole must be treated or replaced along with the underlay. Each situation is different so individual assessments are required prior to starting any odor treatments.
The stains themselves are also a concern and may involve different remedies or repairs. In a lot of cases the digesters also remove the yellow stain. However since urine can damage carpet and fabric dyes permanently other solutions will have to be considered. One option is re-dying the area.
Our technicians rid carpets of odor causing bacteria and restore a healthy environment. Our process does not temporarily mask pet odors, but removes the contamination, guaranteeing no offensive odors will return.
Now I cannot guarantee that your pet will never pee on the carpet again, but I can guarantee that the treated spot will not emit urine odor any longer. Off gassing urine is a potentially serious health issue, (especially if it is feline urine and there is a pregnant woman in the home), and should be rectified immediately.
Spring is Coming!
With Spring melt down just around the corner it would be a good idea to ensure proper operation of your sump pump. Once we’re full swing into melt down, periodically check your basement for signs of moisture. Other than walking into wet soggy carpeting usually a musty odor is the first sign of moisture or seepage problems. Also check the outside foundation and window wells for signs of pooling water or water flowing towards the house.
Priority will be given to all emergency situations to quickly restore your home and belongings back to normal.

Berbers (the truth):
Berber carpets are very popular; this is in part due to the affordability of this type of carpet. The other part is that many carpet retailers are promoting this style of carpet as being tough as nails and that it will wear like iron. Truth be told, it simply is not true.
Olefin (polypropylene) fibers make up the majority of this type of carpet. (A small amount of nylon is used to add fullness).
Olefin fibers are the least resistant to the effects of gritty soils and high traffic and the abrasive properties of soils actually cut and scratch carpet fibers, which leads to matting, crushing, and a grey—dingy appearance in the traffic lanes. This is called shading...it simply means that the cuts and scratches on the fibers are refracting the light into the carpet (as opposed to reflecting light to your eyes), thus creating its own shadow effect. This is also the number one reason that Berber carpets have that worn look, even after six months.
Now for some technical stuff: since olefin is dyed while it is in a liquid state (prior to being extruded into a useable fiber) it is resistant to staining. This method of dyeing solution dyeing) also allows for better color retention. Olefin is also non-absorbent, and extremely resistant to chemicals. Being non-absorbent, olefin carpets are prone to wicking. When spillage occurs on olefin carpets, the liquids pass right through the carpet and into the backings, under pad and sub-floor areas. So when you clean up a spill, it usually reappears once the area has dried. The moisture used to clean up a spill can actually cause old spills to wick to the surface along with any soil that has accumulated under the carpet. This wicking action also occurs when improper professional cleaning (over wetting) is performed, the deep soils, simply wick back to the surface during the drying process. It is easily avoided when a technician takes their time.
I usually advocate cleaning at a lower psi and adding extra dry passes to ensure that wicking does not occur. Berber carpets do require more maintenance due mainly to the trapping effects of the looped pile. Soils and contaminants that are entangled within a loop cannot be vacuumed out easily. Therefore the carpet appears to be some what clean, but the trapped soils are destroying the carpet from the under side of the loops. Increased vacuuming is required, simply to maintain a Berber carpet between professional cleanings. I usually recommend that vacuuming be done from at least two directions, and that traffic lanes be vacuumed slowly. Always use a power-head with a rotating brush.
The best thing you can do is to consider cleaning your high traffic Berber every six months.
Olefin also has a low heat threshold, which means that it will melt at very low temperatures. Simply dragging the sofa across the carpet may be enough to melt the fibers with this small amount of friction. Olefin also has an affinity for oils, so installing olefin near garage entries or kitchen areas is not advisable. The sad thing about olefin is this...because of its low melting point; oil is actually used during the construction phase...the needles used to punch the carpet fibers through the backing material are actually lubricated with oil. This oil is only removed from the expensive Berber carpets, and the less expensive styles do not get complete (if any) rinsing before they are shipped to a retailer. (Hmmm, nothing like adding oil to a fiber that loves oil).
Your best defense...buy nylon carpets. Yes they are available in Berber style, yes they do cost more...but nylon is more resistant to gritty soil abrasion and will last longer. The down side is that they are easily stainable and may loose some color over time, nothing a good protectant cannot overcome.
The time has come to Look Down!
As the cost of fuel increases, so will the price of carpet...Rising fuel costs have made people avoid unnecessary trips to the grocery store, and fewer lights in their homes are left burning. But have you considered what’s going to happen to the price of carpet? All synthetic yarns used in carpeting—nylon, polyester, acrylic, polypropylene (Olefin)—are byproducts of fossil fuels. Nylon is made from coal; the others from petroleum. So, as the cost of fuel rises, so will the price of carpet, especially when the cost of fuel also impacts shipping charges. It makes economic sense to take very good care of the carpet we’ve got. The cost of replacing it is bound to increase more and more as time goes by, which begs the question: Have you looked down lately? Some months have passed since your last cleaning. Have you examined your carpeted pathways? Are they beginning to look dull and dingy again? If so, then it’s time to clean them. No. It’s not necessary to clean what’s not dirty. But if we don’t clean what is, the ‘ugly’ can become permanent. Remember: "Walking on soiled carpeting is like walking on sandpaper". The grit scrubs the yarn, causing pathways to become permanently dull. When this has happened, they’ll always look like they need cleaning, and no amount of cleaning can clean the dull gray color cast (the wear damage) away.

Carpet Warranties:
A recent press release from the IICRC announced that Shaw and Mohawk (the two largest carpet manufacturers) have begun altering their carpet warranties by stating: Effective January 1, 2008 the company will require the use of IICRC Certified Firms for all professional cleaning services.
Additionally cleaning companies must also be compliant with and approved by the CRI/SOA (Carpet & Rug Institute / Seal of Approval) with respect to equipment and cleaning agents used on carpet.IICRC Certified Firms must meet several stringent criteria that serve to protect the consumer. The firm must have at least one IICRC certified technician on all job sites, must have a business license, must carry general liability insurance, have an approved consumer complaint policy and must adhere to the IICRC code of ethics. All these protect the consumer against unscrupulous operators.
Dan’s Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning has been an IICRC Certified Firm since its inception, 1994, and annually maintains all of the requirements set forth by the IICRC and is compliant with the new regulations announced by the carpet mills and the CRI/SOA program.
“We believe our recommendations and requirements will ultimately help consumers enjoy and appreciate our products more fully,” says Carey Mitchell, Shaw’s director of technical services. “This information reflects years of carpet research and testing and provides a firm foundation for proper maintenance that will enhance and extend a carpet’s useful life.” To learn more visit http://www.carpet-rug.com
CLEANING YOUR CARPET FILTER! :
My carpet doesn't have a filter, does it? Well not really, but it does function like one. For reasons I'll explain later this filtering is very beneficial. Have you ever thought about what is really being collected, tracked through and spilled into your carpet?
The most common household pollutants are; dirt, dust, pollens, stearic acid, hair, pet dander, asphalt, sand, smoke residues, hydrocarbons, mites, fleas, dead skin, dead mites & fleas, tar, bacteria, foods, drinks, fungus, and sometimes viruses. Quite a few eh! The hydrocarbons come from outdoor pollution and your gas appliances, the stearic acids come from cooking food. How many of these common, everyday pollutants would you say are not in your carpets and upholstery this very minute? Not a pleasant thought is it.
You might say...not my carpets, they look clean. Perhaps, but carpets are designed to hide soil from your eyes, keeping it trapped below the surface, where it does the most harm. Not convinced? Do a little test. Place a new bag inside your vacuum, thoroughly vacuum all of your carpets. When done remove the bag and cut it open and take a look at what was inside your visually clean carpet Now considering that all of this disgusting stuff is in your carpet, and more is being brought in everyday, eventually the carpet will become full. As you walk across your full carpet you re-distribute the dust and pollutants back into the air that you and your family breathe. As a result of being full, your carpets will also begin appear visibly dirty. This visual soil may take upwards of 1 to 2 years before it finally shows itself, by then it has done alot of damage to your carpet, and has contributed greatly to having poor Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).WHAT CAN BE DONE ?
Well for starters you really should clean your carpets more often. Shaw Industries, the world's largest carpet manufacturer, recommends that you professionally steam clean your carpets every 6 to 12 months, just to maintain the warranty. Comprehensive scientific studies have proven that by simply cleaning your carpets, you will drastically improve the indoor air quality of your home, making it a healthier place to be for you and your family.
Consider this...most of us wear our clothing once and then place it into the laundry for washing, yet our carpets and upholstery go unwashed for as much as 1 to 3 years or more. Can you imagine wearing the same pair of socks for a week, let alone 1 to 3 years? Your carpets subjected to far more pollutants on a daily basis than a pair of socks, yet most of us do not clean their carpet regularly.
View your carpets for what they are, a soft, warm, cozy comfortable pollution filters, that requires regular maintenance and cleaning. Ideally, in addition to frequent vacuuming and spot cleaning, your carpets should be cleaned at least every 12 months. As mentioned at the beginning, the benefits of having a carpet filter in your home will result with less airborne dust and pollutants in your home.
A simple comparison two identical homes, with the same number of family members and traffic patterns, one has carpet throughout and the other has tile and wood floors only. With or without the furnace running, which house would you say has better indoor air quality? If you said the house with tile floors, you'd be incorrect. Why? Without the benefit of a carpet to trap the indoor dust and pollutants, they would re-circulate constantly throughout the house. More so if the furnace was operating. All of these circulating pollutants contaminate the breathable air mass. Sure the tiled house does not have the expense of professional carpet cleaning, but they do have to sweep, vacuum, dust and swiffer every daily to keep up with the dust and pollutants constantly circulating through the house.
Keep up on the dry particulate soil by investing in an efficient vacuum cleaner. Those new Dyson vacuums are very good machines and are affordably priced. They also come with a HEPA filter to capture the very small particles that normally go right through most vacuums and back into the room. By frequently and thoroughly vacuuming your carpets you can remove as much as 70% of the soils and pollutants that exist inside your carpets. The remaining 30% is usually trapped within the fibers or has been bonded to the sticky, wet soils…thus the need for steam cleaning.
The KEY to carpet longevity is through maintenance.
You Are What You Eat!:
Some years ago, a dietician made a comment that became somewhat popularized: “You are what you eat.” It seems to me that it would be more accurate to say that our physical condition is the result of what we consume through our mouths, our lungs, and our skin.
Every aspect of our environment impacts us, not just the content of our refrigerators. The problem is, while we may reduce our saturated fat intake, we often don’t think about the toxins in our homes or what they may be doing to us.
Busy with all the demands on our time, we don’t notice that our floors and furniture are accumulating contaminants.
Yes. Contaminant is the right word, because contaminants are what are building up day after day. The problem is that we don’t see our soiled furnishings as ‘contaminated.’
News reports say that we spend billions of dollars yearly on healthcare. "The reason that we spend so much on health care is because pollution is coming into our homes but we’re not cleaning it out." Says Dr. Berry - a deputy director in the EPA. Dr. Berry also says that we “spend no more than .05% of our income on cleaning.”
I know that Dr. Berry is right, because many people who call us for service haven’t had their carpets cleaned in years—anywhere from 3 to 6 years, as a matter of fact. Occasionally, we get calls from people who haven’t cleaned them in a decade.
I was talking with a professional friend recently, about an experience with one of my clients that explains why many people don’t clean nearly as often as they should. A lady had arranged for me to meet her at a pre-owned home she had purchased. “I’d like you to help me evaluate the condition of the carpeting. I don’t know if it needs cleaning or not,” she said. As we walked around from room to room, the lady suddenly commented, “I don’t think the carpet is too bad, but I still want it cleaned. If it were my dirt, I wouldn’t worry about it.”
What was she saying? “My dirt is cleaner than your dirt.” She clearly had no idea what ‘my dirt’ contains, to say nothing of the health threats in it.
Allergies? This Mite Be An Answer!:
In February, 1993, John W. Maunder, Ph.D., Director of the Medical Entomology Center at the University of Cambridge, UK, published a paper entitled “Carpets, House Dust Mites and Asthma” in which he states, “There is no longer room for serious doubt about the dominant role of the house dust mite in both the initial induction of asthma and in the subsequent triggering of wheezy attacks.”
Asthmatics are not allergic to living mites but to the airborne feces of mites and, to a much lesser extent, to dead mites. Dr. Maunder states that although living mites are difficult to remove from carpet, their feces are readily removed from carpets by proper cleaning. “A carpet regularly cleaned will not and cannot contain enough allergen to affect people. The proper maintenance of carpet completely prevents trouble from that source.” As you can see, regular cleanings are important… mainly for hygienic reasons. There are contaminates in your carpet that need to be removed on a regular basis. Waiting until your carpet looks dirty is waiting too long!

Propagating that 'Old Wives' Tale:
Often new clients tell me that their carpet salesman told them not to clean their carpeting until “you just have to.” “Once you clean your carpeting, it will get dirty faster,” they say. The truth is - provided that a carpet is being cleaned properly, rapid re-soiling won’t be a problem.
But there are also two other facts to bear in mind: Carpeting that is not cleaned will have to be replaced sooner. Maintaining carpet properly can double its life. Are these the reasons some carpet sales people are passing out this very bad advice? “The sooner people ruin their carpeting, the sooner they’ll buy more,” seems to be their rationale.
Why does low priced carpet cleaning leave you shortchanged?
Volume & Sales: Low price cleaning companies survive on two things:
Volume - which means book as many jobs as possible each day, get in and get out fast and hopefully complete all of the days bookings.
Sales - hard sell you as many extras as possible before you get mad – if you’re not buying into the extra sales they’ll be in and out of your home faster than you can imagine! If your cleaner isn't taking the time to pre-treat soiled areas, spot stains, and thoroughly rinse cleaning solutions and dirt from your carpet, then you're being shortchanged!
Employees: Low price cleaning companies cannot afford to pay wages that attract long term dependable employees. High employee turnover is common, and leads to poor quality work from under-trained cleaners. If you see a constant stream of new faces from your cleaning company, chances are you're being shortchanged!
Poor quality equipment: Low price cleaning companies must survive on slim profit margins. This often leads to equipment that's in disrepair and the use of cheap cleaning chemicals. If your cleaner is not using the finest in equipment and supplies, then you're being shortchanged.
Technology: Low price cleaning companies often don't have the time, money, or manpower to invest in technology. Carpet cleaning technology is constantly evolving with new, safer products being introduced. If your cleaner does not belong to trade associations, subscribe to industry journals, take part in seminars and trade shows, then in the end, you're being shortchanged.
Guarantees: We're all familiar with the saying, "a guarantee is only as good as the company behind it". If your cleaning company doesn’t have a track record that says they'll be available today, tomorrow, and more importantly next year, to stand behind their work, you're being shortchanged.
Premature Replacement: The number one reason carpets are replaced prematurely is wear caused by inefficient cleaning. Poor cleaning leaves dirt and grit behind to act as an abrasive to carpet fibers. This leads to premature wear patterns and ugly traffic lanes. If you're replacing carpets for these reasons then poor cleaning is costing you many times more than you could ever hope to save by using a low price cleaner!
In this day & age quality and low price are two entities that rarely come as a pair. This statement could not be truer when it comes to carpet cleaning. Don’t get shortchanged by low priced volume cleaning companies.
A wise man once said, “The sweet taste of a low price is gone long before the bitter taste of poor quality.” In the cleaning industry, this is known as the law of life in cleaning. Simply put, the law of life in cleaning means, you get what you pay for.
Carpet protection tips:
You can drastically prolong the beauty of your carpeting and greatly improve the healthful quality of your home environment if you …
1) Don’t wear dirty, grease-laden, abrasive shoes upon your carpeting.
2) Don’t consume foodstuffs over it. Food crumbs and beverage drippings not only increase the soiling rate but also provide food for biological contaminants, such as bacteria, viruses and mold.
3) Don’t permit house pets to excrete body waste on your carpet.
4) Keep it vacuumed well, and
5) Have it professionally cleaned by a properly trained technician on a regular basis.
Remember: Carpeting, like clothing, is a textile product that requires proper care. Abusing it will cause permanent, visible damage.
