For cat people, it can be a challenge to find upholstery that will work the best for both you and your cat. Here are a few tips for finding the best upholstery for your lifestyle with your beloved cat. Leather Upholstery: Leather may seem like a good choice at first glance. It is easy to wipe fur off and if dealt with quickly, vomit and urine can be cleaned off. However, if your cat is in a scratchy mood, the leather will not be any hindrance whatsoever. Leather punctures easily and it will eventually cause it to tear. Metal Frames: Cats can't stick their claws into metal so it's not fun for them to scratch. This makes it a great alternative to wood, which can be prime scratching material. Microfiber Fabric: The best type of fabric to have on furniture in a cat friendly home is microfiber. Microfiber fabric is made of minuscule fibers that come together to create a lightweight and water resistant material. The density that these super-fine fibers creates gives the furniture a better chance of surviving if a cat decides to use it for a scratching post. Helpful Tip: Scratching posts, cat toys, and carpeted cat trees are helpful distractions to have around the house as an added deterrent to the upholstery. If your upholstery could use some TLC, let us know. We can help!

Are allergies driving you nuts?
Are allergies driving you nuts? If you have pets in the home, pet dander and pet hair could be the culprit, especially if you have carpeting. Pet hair can get buried deep within the carpet fibers, despite your best efforts to vacuum on a regular basis and pet dander can aggravate allergies and asthma. The most thorough way to remove these unwanted visitors is with a professional deep cleaning to rinse it all away! When you're ready for a clean and healthy home, let us know. That’s what we are here for!
Carpet Care Tip: Stay Off the Carpet
It's a good idea to schedule your next professional cleaning at a time when you plan to be off the carpeted areas of your home. However, if you do need to walk on the carpet while it's drying, our technician will leave shoe covers for your convenience.
Carpet Care Tip: Use a HEPA filter
This is particularly important if you (or a loved one in your household) suffer from allergies. A HEPA filter is particularly effective at trapping the majority of particles the vacuum collects (even extremely tiny ones), such as dust, dander, and pollen. Our professional vacuums have a double HEPA filter to enable us to remove as much of the insoluble soil from the carpet as possible before even starting the cleaning process.
Carpet Care Tip: Wipe Paws
Wiping off your dog's paws as they come inside is a great way to reduce the amount of dirt and unwanted particles that could be tracked into your home. This can be particularly helpful during periods of wet weather to prevent muddy paw prints on the carpet.
Carpet Care Tip: Use White Rag
When cleaning up spots or spills on your carpet, be sure to use a white rag to avoid a color transfer from the towel to the carpet.
