Upholstery FurnitureCleaning HelpsSafeguard YourInvestment

Next to your home and your car, buying furniture is one of the biggest investments you’ll make.

Buying quality furniture is important, but it’s only one part of the equation. The other? Upholstery

furniture cleaning that will safeguard your investment.

Fabric SelectionThe furniture cleaning process starts with proper fabric

selection, care, and maintenance. Whether you’re buying a new

piece of furniture or having an existing piece of furniture

reupholstered, it’s important to select a fabric that is a good

match for the use it will receive. If you have a family with small

children, for example, it’s probably not a good idea to choose stain or brocade for the family room,

children, for example, it’s probably not a good idea to choose stain or brocade for the family room,

since the surface of the fabric is likely to wear with heavy use. It’s a much better bet to select a tightly

woven fabric that will withstand the dust, grime, and friction of daily use. For well-used pieces, it’s

also a good idea to add a stain-resistant treatment to the fabric. While this treatment won’t make the

pieces waterproof, it will increase the longevity of the furniture.

Furniture CareYou can increase the longevity of your upholstered furniture by

following a few simple guidelines. First, of course, you should

wipe up any spills as soon as they occur. Second, you should

vacuum or brush your upholstery once a week. This prevents

grime from building up between the fibers of the fabric, and will

extend the life of your upholstery. Third, you should turn your

cushions once a week so that they will retain their shape and wear

evenly. Fourth, you should try and keep your upholstered furniture out of direct sunlight; the

ultraviolet rays of the sun can fade the colors of your furniture and cause the fabric to deteriorate

prematurely.

Furniture MaintenanceThe third prong of safeguarding the investment you make in your

upholstered furniture is making sure to have it professionally

cleaned once each year. Although it may be tempting to try

upholstery cleaning yourself, resist the urge. Fabrics are generally

labeled with “cleanability codes,” namely W, S, WS, and X. These

codes relay information about the type of cleaning products that

can be used on the fabric.

The caveat about relying on professional upholstery cleaners especially holds true if your sofa is

covered in a microfiber or leather. If that’s the case, you should leave maintenance to a microfiber sofa

cleaning or leather furniture cleaning expert.

Finding Expert FurnitureCleanersBecause your furniture represents a major investment, be wary of

upholstery cleaners who clutter your mailbox with offers for

cheap cleaning. Instead, depend upon a company that prides itself

on its network of furniture cleaning experts. You should be able to

go online and find a directory of trained experts in your area who

will provide you with quality, affordable upholstery furniture

cleaning.

When you do, you can expect that the technician will come to your home and inspect your furniture for

potentially permanent stains or damage. He or she will typically first vacuum the furniture to be

cleaned, and then pre-treat potential stains. Following that, he or she will perform the upholstery

cleaning according to the fabric care specifications, and perhaps even speed drying time with a blow

dryer. At the end of the process, the technician will talk to you about the cleaning and allow you to

inspect his or her work.

Remember, upholstery furniture cleaning helps preserve your investment. Relying on an expert will

ensure that the upholstery in your home receives the care and maintenance it deserves.

Getting the Right VacuumPublished

Vacuum cleaner information tohelp make your house cleaningeasier by getting the right vacuumWith the vast selection of styles, models and manufacturers in the vacuum cleaner industry it can

become a little overwhelming on where to start looking for the right vacuum for your specific cleaning

needs. The following information should help give you a starting point and speed up your search in

getting the right vacuum.

getting the right vacuum.

Deep Cleaning Vacuums (orsteam vacuums):Typical features on a deep cleaning vacuum include rotating brushes that

agitate the carpet pile and loosen the dirt for a more thorough clean; on hard

floor surfaces the rotating brushes gently scrub the floor clean. Some models

have a handy automatic tool conversion button or switch that you push/flip

as you move from carpeted surfaces to hard floor surfaces or vice versa.

The most common use for a deep cleaning vacuum is for the removal of carpet stains, hot water and the

cleaning solution are pushed deep into the carpet to extract the stain. Special nozzles can be attached to

make it more effective. When the job is complete you just empty the container, most models are

equipped with a handy one hand tank removal. Deep cleaning frequency: If you take a scheduled

approach to cleaning your carpets they will look cleaner longer. Clean entrances every 4-6 weeks,

bedrooms about every 8 weeks, main traffic areas every 12 weeks, clean the entire house every 15

months.

Hand Held Vacuums:Hand held vacuums are light weight, can be either corded or cordless and

most can be mounted on a wall. Cordless performance depends a lot on the

charge of the battery, as the battery power drops so does the suction power.

Two styles of hand held vacuums include; straight suction or suction with a

power brush to agitate the carpet or upholstery for a deeper clean, this

works very well on pet hair. Other available attachments include: a brush for

upholstery, crevice tool, extension wand and a switch to lock the machine in the on position. If you are

considering a hand held vacuum determine its primary purpose, will it be used occasionally on small

jobs or part of a regular cleaning schedule? Determining this will better guide you to selecting the right

jobs or part of a regular cleaning schedule? Determining this will better guide you to selecting the right

model.

Broom Vacuums:Broom vacuums or stick vacuums are ideal for small apartments, those quick

clean ups in the kitchen, bathroom or family room. The benefit of a broom

vacuum is its light weight, if you have trouble pushing your heavier standard

upright, this may come as welcome relief. You have the option of getting

your vacuum corded or cordless, allowing you the freedom to roam around

the house spot cleaning. The light weight, usually just 2lbs.-7lbs, allows you

to easily store the unit in the closet taking up minimal space. For quick, convenient disposal of dirt and

debris most models are bagles. Broom/stick vacuums work great on those small jobs but they just don’t

have the power or capacity to clean larger homes, however they are a great companion to your regular

size vacuum cleaner. If you have never owned a broom/stick vacuum you might be surprised at how

often and useful you find it.

Wet/Dry Vacuums:Wet/Dry vacuums may be the most versatile vacuum cleaner on the market,

with numerous attachments and functions it is handy appliance to have

around the house. Canister sizes can vary greatly from the smaller 6 gallon to

the larger 22 gallon. Horsepower ranges from about 2 H.P. up to 10 H.P. Try

to match the size of unit to the size of the job and the frequency of use. Some

beneficial features to look for in a wet/dry vacuum include:

Pleated Cartridge Filter: These filters will save you time and money. Just pull it out when it’s full of dust

and rinse it off with water. Wheel Base: Make sure your machine has a wide wheel base, this will help

stop it from tipping over, and they generally pull easier. Drain Valve: To make it easier to empty liquids

some units have a drain valve or nozzle located at the bottom of the canister.

Auto shut-off: This sensor has the ability to tell when your vacuum is full of water and automatically

Auto shut-off: This sensor has the ability to tell when your vacuum is full of water and automatically

turn off the motor.

Some of the tools you can add to a wet/dry vacuum cleaner include: a scrubbing brush, crevice tool,

water nozzle, combination nozzle (wet & dry), extension wand, cleaning kits and some larger models

have the ability to attach a leaf blower.

Upright Vacuums:One of the most common features of an upright model is the bagles system.

In addition to increased performance, there is no need to purchase any bags

saving you time and money. Emptying the bagles canister can be a little

dusty. Some bagged upright vacuums feature a full-bag alert which will

notify you when the bag is getting to full. Both bagged and bagles styles may

offer a dirt sensor that notifies you when there is a certain level of particles

in the air stream indicating there is still some dirt not being sucked up into the bag. An on/off switch

for the power brush is good safety feature to have in case the vacuum accidentally gets pulled over your

feet or cord as you focus on using the attachments. Most upright models come with a standard set of

attachments that may include an upholstery tool, a crevice tool and an extension wand. A retractable

cord, manual or automatic pile-height adjustment are two more handy features. Some vacuums allow

the dirt to be sucked through the bag initially before it reaches the fan, other systems have the dirt

goes through the fan first then to the bag, this may damage the fan. A HEPA filter is another common

feature found on upright vacuum cleaners.

Canister Vacuums:Retractable cords are common on canister vacuums and considering most

cords are around 25 feet in length this handy feature helps from having to

drag the cord around and possibly damaging furniture. A push of a button or

slight tug on the cord will retract it into the vacuums canister. The nozzle is

usually one of two types, a suction nozzle or a power nozzle. To thoroughly

clean the carpet it is recommended that you use the power nozzle which will agitate the carpet and

loosen up the dirt for a deeper cleaning. Another feature to look for on a canister vacuum is a suction-

control switch; this allows you to adjust the airflow for cleaning delicate material like drapery and

upholstery. Some handle grips also have an automatic shut off should you loose your grip and let go of

the handle. Pile-height adjustment is another feature that may be offered on a canister vacuum. Being

able to match the height of the vacuum to the height of the carpet will improve cleaning. Automatic

pile-height adjustment does not seem to work as effective as manually adjusting the height of the

vacuum cleaner.

I hope this information helps to narrow down your search to the style of vacuum cleaner that is best

suited for your cleaning needs. Next you just need to compare the different manufacturers’ models and

features in your price range.

Tips to Get Rid of Bad OdorsPublished

Stop that Smell Get Rid of BadOdorsOne of the most asked question we get at Big O Business Services, LLC is how to get rid of bad odors.

Here are some quick tips to help with bad odors around the house.

Quick Fix:The easiest quick fix, when you discover that friends from Australia or the

PTA Chairwoman will be at your door in thirty minutes, is quickly spraying

an aerosol freshener around.

But, these products are not discreet and your visitors will probably be over-

powered. It’s much better to release a more delicate perfume from a few

powered. It’s much better to release a more delicate perfume from a few

flowers from the garden, or just burn a couple of cloves or fragrant oil.

Refrigerator:Put a little white vinegar on the cloth you use to wipe out your refrigerator. It

will refresh the interior and also help reduce the re-occurrence of mildew.

A small dish containing charcoal (the kind sold for use in fish-tanks is okay)

and will reduce any odors too.

Keep an open packet of sodium bicarb in the door of your

refrigerator to absorb any odors. It should have no effect on anything else in there.

Just replace the box every few weeks.

Put a little in a small dish on a ledge in the kitchen and the bathroom.

Don’t just throw the old powder in the garbage; pour it down your sink so that any

remaining strength can help to keep your pipes fresh. Then, pour about a half-cup of vinegar down the

drain. Don’t use the sink for about half an hour to give the chemicals time to work. Sometimes, the

reaction will cause some odor to be released for a few minutes, but that will disappear when you run

some water through to remove any residue.

Inside your home:Put just a few drops of Wintergreen Oil on a cotton swab and drop it in an

inconspicuous part of each room, such as within a plant pot. Just replace

the swab with a fresh one every month or so.

I dab a few drops of pure vanilla or cologne on a piece of cotton for that.

Clutter Busters: SimpleStrategies For Cleaning Up

Your ActPublished

Clutter SucksOne of the biggest challenges couples and families face is

it. But, according to experts, there’s really no need to stress over “mess”, especially if you learn how to

clean up your act, BEFORE it gets out of control

1. Front and Center: Deal with items such as loose change, keys, mail,

etc. right at the front door. Consider a console or nearby shelf on the

wall on which to place things neatly and out of the way. And, don’t

forget to sort mail immediately tossing anything you’d consider junk

(though that doesn’t include bills).

2. Go Barefoot On The Parquet: Okay, one of my biggest pet

peeves is taking shoes off at the front door. After all, if you’re

visiting someone or attending a house party, shoes are part of the

ESSENTIAL accessories that make and complete the outfit.

Taking them off just makes the ensemble look, well, “silly”. Still,

I’ll have to admit that for the “casual” get- together or on a daily

basis, keeping the floors clean may not be such a great feat, if

friends and family leave their shoes at the door and walk around

friends and family leave their shoes at the door and walk around

in bare or stocking-ed feet.

3. Book Ban: Get rid of old books and magazines that are piling up on the

table, nightstand, or on the office or living room floor. Consider donating

books to hospitals, hospices, nursing homes or to your local library. You can

donate magazines to your local salon, doctor’s or dentist’s office. Organize

books and magazines you intend to keep on shelves or in a smart magazine

file.

4. Counter Counter-top Clutter: Make it a “ritual” to clear off tabletops

and counter-tops when you are finished using them or before you retire

for the evening. And, don’t let things pile up. Also make sure to have a

safe storage spot for remotes and think about getting a universal one to

program most of your entertainment systems, limiting the confusion

and the clutter.

5. Fun And Games: No doubt children want and need toys, but they

certainly don’t need to have them “everywhere”. Make sure you

clean up after really small children or help youngsters clean up

after themselves. Have a designated play area in your home and a

storage crate to hold the essentials… and think about color-coding

each crate for each child.

6. Take A Load Off Doing The Laundry: Make sure everyone knows to put their

clothes in a hamper (not on the floor) when they are dirty or when they take

them off. And, make sure you separate whites, darks, and colors beforehand.

Finally, consider doing a load of laundry in small increments, before each

basket is full, to avoid laundry overload.

basket is full, to avoid laundry overload.

7. Learn To Bottle Things Up: Open bags can

take up lots of space and simply look messy.

Consider instead storing chips, nuts, etc. in

pretty glass (or plastic) containers that can be moved from room to

room, offer airtight storage, can easily be stored or displayed.

8. Stop Playing Hide And Seek With

Your Hardware: Instead of rummaging through boxes, drawers, etc.

for the necessary, nut, bolts and screwdrivers, consider investing in a

pegboard. You can buy a sheet at your local hardware store and hang it

on an “inconspicuous” wall, then purchase the accompanying

accessories designed to help you organize.

Coffee Maker CleaningPublished

Coffee Maker Cleaning TipsYour coffee maker could be killing you. Well it is if your morning cup of coffee is a matter of life and

death and you have a filthy coffee maker.

When was the last time you thoroughly cleaned your coffee maker?

Washing the pot is important but getting the internal components of a coffee maker clean is a task that

shouldn’t be skipped.

shouldn’t be skipped.

Did you even know that you were supposed to clean it?

A clean coffee maker can be the difference between a good cup of coffee and a nasty cup of sludge.

A clean coffee maker really makes a big difference in how your coffee tastes. Left over coffee oils can

accumulate inside your coffee maker. Also mineral deposits can form especially in areas with hard

water. These deposits are called “scale”.

There are two kinds of scale, lime scale and mineral scale and you don’t

want either one. Scale can affect the heating unit and the water flow of your

coffee maker and reduce it’s efficiency. How quickly scale forms depends

on the quality of your drinking water. If you use bottled water to make your

coffee, scale probably won’t form as fast but you still have to worry about

accumulated coffee oils. Better to play it safe and clean your coffee maker

regularly.

Cleaning your coffee maker is not a hard task to accomplish

and in fact it’s as easy as making coffee. All you have to do

is pour a pot of half vinegar and half water into the coffee

maker’s water reservoir. It goes without saying that white

vinegar should be used. Steer clear of the red wine or apple

cider vinegar varieties. Then just turn on the regular brew

cycle. You’re kitchen will probably have a nice salad smell

while it’s brewing which you may even like. If you’re not a salad fan though, just remember that it’s a

small price to pay for a good cup of coffee.

Now rinse the coffee maker out by using only water this time in the water reservoir and running the

brew cycle again. You may have to do this a few more times if you still smell vinegar.

Change the marble once a week and you’re coffee maker will be in great shape.

If you have an old coffee maker and you aren’t happy with the taste of it’s

brew, why not try cleaning it. A clean coffee maker will brew better tasting

coffee.

Housecleaning Shortcutsthat Slash your Time

Published

Housecleaning ShortcutsSometimes it seems like housecleaning is a never-ending, time-consuming chore. Just when we

thought we had a day or two off from work, then we have to spend our free time cleaning instead.

However, housecleaning doesn’t have to consume your free time. With some clever ideas and time-

saving actions, you can slash your cleaning time and have time to spend with your family doing the

saving actions, you can slash your cleaning time and have time to spend with your family doing the

things you enjoy the most.

Do a Little Cleaning, OftenInstead of spending an entire day or weekend cleaning, clean half the

house, or one story of a two-story, on one day or afternoon; clean the

other half or other story on another afternoon. Reserve a block of time

for the attic, basement, or garage.

Dust LampshadesTry dusting cloth lampshades with a lint roller. It works quickly and

effectively and you don’t have to drag out the vacuum and hook up the

hoses and attachments. And old sock slipped over your hand makes a

great dusting cloth to dust furniture with while cleaning the shades.

Mirrors & WindowsNewspaper works great for cleaning mirrors and windows. You’ll not

only be saving money on paper towels, but you’ll be creatively

recycling at the same time. Vinegar is an affordable and effective

cleaner that can be used on windows and mirrors, and if you wait for

an overcast day to clean your windows and mirrors, you’re less likely

to have streaks.

Toilet Cleaning

Toilet CleaningSoak your toilet with a deep cleaning bowl cleanser while cleaning the

outside. The inside dirt and stains will be loosened and more easily

cleaned. By using a drop-in cleaner, you can extend the time between

scrubbings.

KitchenUse a baking soda solution to wipe down the inside of the refrigerator. It

scrubs and eliminates odors without damaging surfaces.

When you begin cooking, run a sink of hot soapy water, and wash as you

go. Food on dishes won’t have a chance to harden, and you’ll be that much

ahead when the meal is done.

Make sure you’ve got plenty of paper plates and disposable flatware and cups on hand for those nights

when your evening schedule is jam-packed with activities

Change Air Filters RegularlyReplace the air filter in your furnace every three months or so. A

clean filter will catch more of the dust and particles in the air, and

minimize wear and tear on your furnace. A clean filter also

reduces the energy your furnace consumes, according to the

Environmental Protection Agency.

Let Cleaning Products WorkDifficult cleaning jobs will be a lot easier to accomplish if you give

your cleaning products time to kick in. For example, if you apply

your cleaning products time to kick in. For example, if you apply

oven cleaner and then go make a few phone calls, burned-on

grease and gravy stains will be far easier to wipe away when you

get back.

When it comes to oven cleaning, Beyer recommends prevention: she uses an oven liner to catch spills.

These inexpensive liners, which can be trimmed to fit any size oven, are dishwasher safe for easy

cleaning.

Smallin recommends pouring toilet bowl cleaner into your toilet before you go to bed at night, so it will

be simple to wipe and flush the next morning. “As I like to tell people, you can clean your toilet while

you sleep,” she says.

Get HelpEven if you can’t afford a regular housekeeper, you may

want to periodically hire a cleaner to give your house a deep

cleaning. “If you feel like you can’t get on top of the mess,

it’s worth it to invest in a good cleaning,” says Smallin. “A

cleaner will probably charge more for a one-time job, but if

you start out with a really clean house, it’s much easier to do daily and weekly maintenance.”

7 Window Cleaning Tips ForThat Special Sparkle

Published

A sparkling window is the desire of everyone. Clean, bright shiny windows add a new look to every

house. Like furniture, windows require their own cleaning methodology to keep them looking new and

tidy. Here are 7 simple window cleaning tips for a marvelous shine.

1) Ensure that you dry your windows in one direction – leftwards or

rightwards. Mixing the direction will leave unpleasant streaks on the

glass and make it look untidy.

2) Before you wipe the window glass,

remove all dust from the windows so that in

applying a wet cloth, you do not leave mud on the window. Water and

dust will form mud.

3) If you are cleaning window sills, rub the

whole surface with a damp cloth sprayed with alcohol so that all the

spots will clear off for a beautiful shine.

4) Windows are very sensitive to dirt. You

should therefore apply only clean water in cleaning windows and in cases

where you use damp cloth, use only clean cloths.

5) If the glass is greasy or smoky, apply some

vinegar to the water before you clean the

window. Vinegar removes grease without leaving streaks or stains.

6) When cleaning windows which are beyond the

reach of you hand, use a step ladder if the height is

medium or use a regular ladder if quite high.

Always ensure that the safety clip is on and if

possible, get some one to hold the base of the ladder for safety reasons.

7) Sprays are convenient to use than buckets of water.

In cleaning windows of considerable heights, try to

use sprays instead of buckets of water as they can spill and you will have to do

everything again. The sheer weight and burden will get you tired easily.

Getting a window to shine is an easy task. All you need is the above window cleaning tips.

Time Saving BathroomCleaning Tips

Cleaning TipsPublished

The BathroomThe bathroom is often the most used room in the house and because

of this the hardest to clean and keep clean. By incorporating a few

time saving bathroom cleaning tips into your regular routine, you

can cut your cleaning time, save money on cleaning products and

enjoy a cleaner bathroom for longer periods of time.

When cleaning the bathroom, always start with the mirrors and

shower doors. By cleaning from top to bottom you will save steps.

The dirt from the mirrors and wall can sometimes fall to the floor. If done first, the dirt can then be

cleaned in one step when you sweep and mop the floors.

To clean the mirrors and shower doors, you do not need an expensive

commercial cleaner. The best cleaner and one that doesn’t leave streaks, is a

simple solution of water, white vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Simply add

water, 1/3 cup of vinegar and 1⁄4 cup of rubbing alcohol to a spray

bottle and shake gently to mix. Spray on glass surfaces and wipe with a

clean white paper towel.

To clean grime and soap scum off the tub and shower stall you will need to use

a two step process. First scrub the area with a white bristle brush to loosen

grime and score the area so that a cleaner can penetrate it more readily. Next,

spray or wipe on a concentrated orange-based commercial cleaning product.

Allow the product to set for thirty minutes and the grime and soap scum

should rinse right off.

After cleaning the tub and shower stall, coat the surfaces with an expensive car wax. If you do this twice

a year it will help to repel dirt and cut cleaning time in half.

Another great time saving bathroom cleaning tip for your shower stall is to wipe away all of the water

after each use. This will keep the dirt and grime from building up and make weekly cleaning a breeze.

After you have cleaned the big surfaces, it is time to clean the toilet and wipe

down the counters, sinks and faucets. White vinegar is an inexpensive and

effective cleaner for these jobs. Simply apply the white vinegar with a cloth

and allow it to set for a few minutes. Then rinse the solution and wipe down

the surfaces.

Other simple bathroom cleaning tips include the use

of a bath rug outside the shower to collect water and dirt, the cleaning of your

plastic shower curtain by tossing it in the washing machine with your dirty

cleaning rags and the use of toothpaste and a scrub brush to shine and clean

your ornate metal faucets.

6 Tips For Spring CleaningPublished

With warmer months just around the corner, spring cleaning isn’t far away. Whether you want to clear

some of the winter clutter or just feel like a change in scenery, spring cleaning can make it happen. Now

is the perfect time to clean out the garage, basement and/or attic. If there are any items that you don’t

plan to use, this article will tell you how to get rid of them while making money doing it. As we all

know, this can take a lot of work but a few simple tips can make your spring cleaning experience a

breeze.

Tip 1:

Tip 1:If you are storing away your winter clothes, consider using large plastic

storage containers that feature snap-on lids. These can be found in the

house wares department at most stores and are very inexpensive. Storage

containers are very important to keeping your clothes dust and

discoloration free, which may otherwise be a problem if they are left

hanging in the closet from one season to the next.

Tip 2:When packing your clothes, roll them instead of folding. This not only

eliminates creases and wrinkles, but also saves a lot of space. You will be

able to pack a lot more clothes with this technique.

Tip 3:Label your clothing containers as ‘spring,’ ‘fall’ and ‘winter.’ This will

help you to easily locate your wardrobe inside the closet.

Tip 4:If you have any clothing that you don’t plan to wear or simply have

outgrown, consider donating them to a local goodwill or other nonprofit

organization. Rather than tossing them out, your clothes can provide

revenue for a worthy cause and help the less-fortunate to be able to

afford clothing that would otherwise be unattainable.

Tip 5:If you are looking to clear out some knick knacks or perhaps even some

Holiday decorations in order to make room for new ones, consider a trip to

the local flea market. Everyone is looking for a bargain and they just may be

looking for something that you no longer wish to own. A setup fee is usually

required which, depending on the location, can be $10.00 to 20.00 per day.

Otherwise, you can always sell items at internet auction sites, including

Yahoo and eBay or just have a a Yard or Garage Sale.

Tip 6:With all of the changes that you’re making, it may be time to switch to a

lightweight vacuum. This will save from lugging around a heavier model and

will glide across the floor with ease. There’s no use in completely wearing

yourself out during spring cleaning, so try to make it as easy as possible.

If you are looking to hire a Commercial Cleaning company you can call us and we will answer any
