GOT WATER?
When Disaster Strikes Your Home – We Can Help!
Las Cruces Carpet Cleaning Now Offer Full Water Extraction and Dry Out Services!

FOUR IMMEDIATE STEPS YOU MUST TAKE IF YOU HAVE FLOOD OR WATER DAMAGE:
1. AVOID HAZARDS! Be extremely careful of the deadly combination of water and electricity. Also be cautious of slippery wet carpets and floors. Stay away from raw sewage back ups, which contain bacteria that can be harmful to your health.

2. STOP THE SOURCE! If you haven’t located the source of the water, call us immediately and we will guide you through this. It is crucial that this is done quickly and properly.

3. TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION by calling Las Cruces Carpet Cleaning 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You will always be answered by friendly staff. Our dispatchers will have a water damage expert contact you immediately. After you call, we’re on our way!

4. REMOVE FURNITURE! Wood furniture will cause stains which cannot be removed. Rust stains from metal are difficult to remove and may be permanent. 95% of water damage jobs are restorable. Most of the remaining 5% are caused by not following these steps. So move furniture that’s in or even near the water, or place something under the legs.

For additional information be sure to check out this interesting article titled “Be Aware of the Damage Water Can Cause” that explains contaminants found in different water sources.

How To Get Blood Stains Out Of Your Carpet In 5 Minutes or Less

Sunday, October 3rd, 2010

Life Happens! And so do blood stains on the carpet. But you don’t have to live with those embarrassing stains on your carpet. You too can become an expert stain remover in less than 5 minutes with a little help and the right tools. All you need is a towel, some oxidizing red stain remover and some rust stain remover.

Start by applying some of your oxidizing red stain remover over the blood stain. Use a spoon to work the solution in between the fibers and watch it fizz. The fizz is the solution dissolving the blood. Wait a few minutes and the stain will completely disappear. If the blood spot still has a shadow or some brownish color that won’t disappear, use a little rust stain remover to finish the job. Blood has iron in it and the iron can turn to rust on the carpet. Work a little rust stain remover into the fibers with the spoon and watch the stain vanish.

One last tip: I tell my Carpet Cleaning Las Cruces clients that my best advice is to blot the stain. Never rub the spot or you can distort the carpet. Here is a great article I found that offers some more tips on How to Remove Blood Stains From Carpet.

Hope this info is helpful…Emilio
