<h1 style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: middle;">

<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Let's
face it, we are in the middle of uncertain times, the economy seems to be
getting worse every day. Every morning people wake up and turn on the news only
to hear about how stocks are taking a dive, the loonie is declining, the
housing market is in crisis, and countless companies are closing. In these
uncertain times, it's important for people to find as many ways as possible to
save money. One way that we can save money is by maintaining the things we have
so that we have more time before we need to replace them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">One of the most valuable possessions in
our home is the furniture and carpets</span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">, these can be extremely
costly to replace. With so many people at risk of losing their jobs and a
looming recession, it's very important that people learn to take care of these
things properly, so they can maintain their beauty for years to come. Some
people have furniture that is 20 years old and it looks 5 years old, and some
people have furniture that is 5 years old that looks 20 years old. It is
apparent when furniture and carpets are not cared for, and as a result they
need replacing years sooner than necessary.<br />
<br />
One of the most important steps in the good maintenance of furniture and
carpets is vacuuming. So many people underestimate the importance of regular vacuuming.
Make sure to use a machine that has a beater brush, this will help to remove
the dirt and grime that gets ground into carpet and ruins the fibres. This
damage is more apparent in doorways and high traffic areas. When you vacuum you
should always remember to replace the vacuum bag regularly to ensure the best
results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Another
important tip in the maintenance of your carpets and furniture is to make sure
you clean spills right away, don't wait until later. The longer you wait to
clean a spill, the more likely that stain will set in and never come out. If
you are a pet owner, I highly recommend investing in a good pet urine remover.
Even if your pet is well trained, accidents can happen, and cleaning this type
of stain quickly prevents damaging the carpet or furniture permanently.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">If
you own furniture that consists of microfiber, you may be under the impression
that this material is very resistant to stains, but be careful because improper
cleaning can result in water stains that will not come out. When you clean this
furniture if it doesn't dry evenly, a ring appears in the fabric and it is very
difficult to remove. If you spill something on this type of fabric, make sure
you blot the spot with paper towel to absorb any excess liquid and then clean the
spot with warm water and a small amount of dish detergent. Once you have
removed the stain, dry it evenly with a blow dryer (no heat) until the spot is
thoroughly dry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Even
with the regular maintenance that you do yourself, it's important to have your
furniture and carpets professionally cleaned to ensure their longevity.
Professional carpet cleaners have access to powerful chemicals and equipment
that the average person doesn't. In addition, professional cleaners have the
knowledge of the proper use of those chemicals and equipment. You should have
your carpets professionally cleaned every six months for heavily walked areas.
For low traffic areas you can wait a year. On the other hand, if you have
extremely high traffic areas that consistently get dark they may need cleaning
as often as every three months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Some
people are hesitant to spend money on professional carpet cleaning, but in the
end spending a little money now will save you thousands later when you have to
replace your carpets and furniture.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h1 style="line-height: 16.8pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph; vertical-align: middle;">
<br /></h1>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Berber
carpet is one of the most popular flooring choices on the market today, and
understandably so. It is available in a variety of fibers, patterns and color
choices, and is able to provide a perfect match to a wide range of room decors.
It lends itself well to any style, from the casual look of a comfortable and
inviting family room to the formal charm of a well-appointed sitting room.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Berber
carpet's versatility and durability have given it high marks in customer
satisfaction and made it a top seller among carpet styles. But Berber is not a
specific type of carpeting; the term "berber" describes its unique
construction and weave. It is made from a series of tight, twisted loops of continuous
carpet fiber. The compact matting of these loops gives it the look of a high
quality carpet and also accounts for its outstanding durability. The dense mat
structure makes it not only crush resistant, but also helps to hide dirt and
wear in regular traffic patterns, greatly extending the life of the carpet.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">The
same attributes that make Berber carpet an excellent choice for well-used areas
of the home, however, can also make it a challenge to maintain if not cared for
properly. Berber's tight loop and weave construction, makes it prone to
trapping dirt at the bottom of its fibers near the mat if allowed to sit on the
surface long enough to work its way down. Regular vacuuming, of course, will go
a long way toward preventing the wicking of dirt and debris to the base of the
carpet where tight fibers make it difficult to remove. This aspect of the
carpet, however, is yet another benefit to Berber's unique design in that it
has the ability to look clean at the top loop end of the carpet in spite of dirt
that may be accumulating below its surface. Regular daily maintenance in the
form of vacuuming and prompt attention to spills and stains will help to
minimize the accumulation of hidden dirt while regular shampooing will aid in
its removal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">As
with daily maintenance, the weave and construction of Berber carpet also
requires a specific type of intensive carpet cleaning or shampooing. Because of
its compact matting, a minimum of moisture during the cleaning process is
required as drying in the presence of tightly packed loops near the mat can be
a challenge. Over-wetting during carpet cleaning will send moisture all the way
through the loop and mat down to the pad. A luxurious carpet with a dense mat
like Berber makes drying, particularly at the mat level, a problem. Dry foam
carpet cleaning is the method of choice for Berber carpets. This method employs
a minimum of actual moisture while providing the most effective means for
removing deep down, trapped dirt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Berber
is manufactured in a choice of fibers and each fiber type requires a different
cleaning method with one thing in common, a mininum of moisture. The top of the
line fiber, wool, is the longest wearing and most luxurious of the choices, and
lends itself well to dry foam applications. As moisture and heat can have
adverse effects on the natural fibers of a wool Berber carpet, steam extraction
is a poor choice for this carpet type.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Nylon
Berber carpet is a quality, long-lasting product that also responds best to low
moisture cleaning. Although it is not as adversely affected by heat and
moisture as wool fibers, it still responds most favorably to a dry foam
application.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Olefin Berber carpet is particularly
tricky to maintain partially due to its affinity for oil based stains.</span></b><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;"> It
also has a propensity to react negatively to wet carpet cleanings that use a
high pH solvent by exhibiting restaining shortly after shampooing. The high pH
residue left in the carpet attracts soil and promotes re-staining.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Wool
Berber carpet, nylon Berber carpet and Olefin Berber carpet, while created from
different fibers, all share the same type of construction. Their dense matting
makes the dry foam method of cleaning the only appropriate application for the
deep-down removal of dirt that also provides long lasting protection against
the re-staining inherent in faulty shampooing methods. The aerated solution
applied during the dry-foam process will emulsify oil-based stains, suspend
dirt and soils, and modify pH to the proper level for successful extraction. It
will introduce a minimum of moisture while providing the most thorough cleaning
process available that is particularly suited to the unique construction of all
types of Berber carpet, regardless of fiber content.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

advances in recent years. There have been improvements in not only the
materials, but also superior equipment and substantial advances in the
chemicals used to clean as well. These considerable improvements have made it
possible to help professional carpet cleaners get great results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

carpet pile. The difficulty with this type of carpet fiber is that it has a
tendency to soil rapidly, and although there have been improvements, they just
conceal the problem instead of prevent it. Several approaches towards solving
this problem have been made including stain blockers, which tend to protect the
fibers from being penetrated by liquids.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

their focus on developing extraction machines that operate with low moisture
which solves the problem of overwetting. These low moisture methods achieve
high-quality results in cleaning the nylon carpet pile, and the benefit of this
type of carpet cleaning is that it allows your carpets or furniture to dry
quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

is getting the underpad wet. The reason this is a concern, you cannot get
enough air circulation under the carpet to dry it properly. For that reason,
the most predominant advantage of these low moisture carpet cleaners is that it
helps to prevent mold growth in your home.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The most significant of all of the latest advances in carpet
cleaning technology is in the chemicals themselves. They employ a science
called encapsulation. This chemical process utilizes a revolutionary
encapsulation technology that literally traps soil, dirt and residues in a
suspension and is subsequently removed by a machine. In the past encapsulation
has been associated with brush and bonnet cleaning or dry foam but with recent
advances in the science you will also find encapsulation being used with hot
water extraction methods.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most dry dirt can be easily removed by a routine of regular
vacuuming. The oily and sticky dirt's attract and hold dry soil to the surface.
The result is a dull, gray, and ugly appearance. Encapsulation chemistry not
only cleans better, but also helps the carpet stay clean longer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The first step in effectively cleaning any carpet is to
counteract sticky soils. The encapsulation chemistry surrounds each dirt
particle and crystallizes so it cannot attract other dirt. The encapsulated
particles release from the fiber and are easily extracted with normal vacuuming
and since there is no dirt-attracting residue left behind, the carpet stays
clean longer.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

cleaning, some detergent residue is still left on the carpet. Many fiber rinses
themselves are sticky! Some carpet mills estimate that up to 4% of detergent
used is left in the carpet following hot water extraction, and this residue
adds up over repeated cleanings. Any new dirt coming into contact with the
carpet, such as dirt from shoes in normal foot traffic, will be attracted to
the sticky detergent residue left on the carpet. This is referred to as
"rapid resoiling", the result of cleaned carpet getting dirty faster
than carpet with no residue. Vacuuming removes loose soil, but will not remove
dirt attached to sticky residue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 12.0pt; margin-bottom: 3.75pt; margin-left: 3.75pt; margin-right: 3.75pt; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">

balance of carpet cleaning detergents that get the carpets clean in the first
place, and crystalline polymers that effectively encapsulate and crystallize
embedded spots, greasy soils and detergent residues. The encapsulation
technology is a much more effective carpet cleaning method because it
crystallizes any remaining residue, thus preventing rapid resoiling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
