I have an old Sears Kenmore “Cleanmore” carpet cleaner that needs repair.?

The spray nozzle has become clogged, and I need instructions in how to clean it. I tried to clean out the sprayer with a stripped bread tie. I also scrubbed diligently with an old toothbrush. It still doesn't work. The water is definitely coming out of “feeding tube”, as I disconnected it and there is a good strong flow. Read the rest of this entry

Customers consider a clean and impeccable business facility as a reliable reflection of your business practices and your attention to detail. Among your office decor, the first thing that most customers instantly notice is your carpets. Well-maintained carpets will lend a sense of professionalism to your office. On the other hand, a dull, grimy carpet can spoil the appeal of an otherwise gleaming office. So the message is clear – to get your office looking clean, bring out your carpet cleaners and transform your carpets into as-good-as-new.

A Variety of Benefits

When it comes to carpet cleaning machines, most of us do not think beyond a vacuum cleaner. If there are stains or other stubborn dirt deposits, we simply resort to scrubbing with harsh chemical cleaners. But do you know that such methods may actually do more harm than good to your carpets? To eliminate all types of stains and dirt on your carpet, your best choice would be carpet cleaners. For stains on sofas or other furniture, an upholstery cleaner is ideal. With the fantastic range of carpet cleaning equipment available today, you can easily choose the right model and experience the cleaning power of super-heated steam.

With the advanced range of carpet cleaners on the market today, carpet stains are easily removed by eliminating foul odors and deep cleaning carpets at a fast pace. Due to the extremely high temperature of steam ejected, carpet shampooers can effectively dissolve even the most stubborn stains. Carpet cleaners also allow you to put an end to the use of abrasive detergents or toxic carpet cleaning chemicals.

There is a widespread belief that the best way to pamper carpets is by professionally shampooing them. However, it is important to understand that this method actually soaks carpets, resulting in diminished productivity due to extensive drying times up to 24 hours and the risk of mold or mildew growth. The best methods to deep clean your carpets are either hot water or steam extraction. Top-grade carpet cleaners from leading distributors now feature innovative low-moisture technology that will leave your carpets clean, dry, and smelling fresh in 1 to 6 hours.

Green Carpet Cleaning

As more people continue to adopt green cleaning practices in homes and offices, carpet cleaners are growing in acceptance, since steam is a green cleaning force that is harmless for you, your customers, and the environment. Other green carpet cleaning supplies like carpet cleaning solutions are also gaining popularity since they are non-toxic, natural, and completely biodegradable. In fact, many leading carpet cleaners require that you pre-spray carpets prior to cleaning. Thus, a green carpet cleaning solution is the best bet.

There are many people who doubt the cleaning power of green carpet cleaners since they are sourced from plants. However, these plant-based carpet cleaners offer exceptional cleaning power due to their advanced technology using nano-sized cleaning particles to penetrate and dissolve dirt deposits. Perhaps the biggest upside to using these green cleaners is that they do not emit any toxic fumes or leave behind harmful chemical residues. That means your carpets will be extra clean while your employees and customers will be safe from harmful chemicals.

A clean and fresh-smelling office will not only rejuvenate your employees, but also make your customers feel relaxed and comfortable. Using green cleaning techniques and carpet cleaners will thus help you create a better workplace, improve productivity, achieve stronger customer loyalty and as a result, increase profits.

Carpeting Issues – Traffic Lane Gray
 by: James Carl

The carpet in your home is subject to a lot of abuse. Because of that abuse and because of the characteristics of carpet it can develop a number of problems. One of those problems is Traffic Lane Gray.

Traffic Lane Gray is a condition where the traffic lanes in a home start to look darker than the rest of the carpet. It is different from regular soiling because the darkness is not caused by soil but by scratched carpet fibers that no longer reflect as much light as the rest of the carpeting. So if you have had your carpets cleaned and the carpet still looks dark or gray in the traffic areas you probably have Traffic Lane Gray.

So how do you correct it? Well you can’t. Unfortunately the damage is permanent. When carpet fibers are designed, they are designed with edges that reflect light and hide soil. When these edges are worn down, through normal use, they do not reflect the same amount of light. You will probably notice that the carpet looks fine up close but when you look at it from a distance it appears dark. This is because of the fibers not reflecting as much light.

The only way to treat this condition is to prevent it. To prevent it you must limit wear on your carpet. To do that have it cleaned often, use entry rugs and rearrange your furniture regularly to spread out the wear. By doing those three things you can prevent or at least delay the condition know as Traffic Lane Gray.

Secret Green Car Detailing Products The Pros Use

Keeping your car looking as beautiful as the day you drove it off the lot can be a full-time job if you’re not careful with your time. With so many different car detailing products on the market, knowing which ones to use where can seem a bit daunting, especially for the new car owner.

Most of the traditional car cleaning products on the market today are full of toxic and petrochemicals that are not healthy for you and your family to breathe, or for mother earth. With recent innovations in the cleaning products, non-toxic car cleaning products are now coming onto the market. A great example are Laura Klein’s Green Car cleaning products.

Here are some simple tips for a car detailing regimen:

Exterior wash: weekly
Thorough detailing: monthly
Paint wax: 10-12 weeks
Wheels: monthly
Glass: weekly
Vacuum interior: twice monthly
Interior stain removal: monthly
Leather conditioning: monthly
Seal cleaning: monthly
Clean and preserve/protect cracks: monthly

That doesn’t seem too bad, now does it? But what if you’re going to do several car cleaning projects in one day? What order do you attempt the various tasks in?

As a general rule of thumb, this is the best order in which to be cleaning your vehicle when you’re working inside and out in a detailed manner:

Step 1: De-clutter
It’s time to de-clutter the interior. That means removing all of the trash from the interior, and remember to recycle as much as you can.

Step 2: Vacuum
Remove the floor mats and vacuum. Using your vacuum’s crevice and upholstery tools, vacuum the floors and the crevices between the seats, console, dash, seats and vents. If you do this on a regular basis, the job will take you less than 5 minutes.

Step 3: Clean floor mats
Look over your floor mats and check for stains. Use your Laura Klein’s Green Car Carpet Spot Remover by spraying it on the stain, lightly scrub with a damp rag or scrub brush, and blot dry.

Step 4: Remove carpet and upholstery stains
Follow the same procedure that you used with the floor mats, check the interior carpeting and upholstery for stains and treat as necessary with Laura K
1000
lein’s Green Car Carpet Spot Remover. For leather and vinyl seats, use Laura Klein’s Tire & Dashboard Cleaner instead.

Step 5: Clean interior panels
Spray your Laura Klein’s Green Car Tire & Dashboard Cleaner full-strength on the interior panels in your vehicle—the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, etc., and wipe clean with your microfiber cloths. It conditions, protects and restores natural suppleness and beauty to rubber, vinyl and leather. This highly concentrated formula gives long lasting protection & shine! It is a water- and plant-based cleaning product that is free of petroleum ingredients and harmful silicone oils. It does not leave a sticky residue, and there are no smelly fumes for you or your family to inhale. There are no harsh chemicals. Just environmentally friendly, easy green cleaning at its best!

Step 6: Wash exterior.
Use Laura Klein’s Green car Waterless Wash & Shine to get an easy, streak-free finish without water. It even works on bird poop. To clean and degrease your engine, use Laura Klein’s Green Car Cleaner Degreaser . When using products that require a hose move your car over your grass or a gravel area to prevent toxic runoff of heavy metals, oil, gas and more from going into the storm drains.

Step 7: Polish and wax paint finish.
With Laura Klein’s Green Car Wash & Wax Concentrate, you’ll get a beautiful finish to your car washing efforts. Plus, this product contains ingredients that will provide full-spectrum UVA and UVB protection for your car’s exterior finishes. Remember, when using products like these that require a hose move your car over your grass or a gravel area to prevent toxic runoff of heavy metals, oil, gas and more from going into the storm drains

Step 8: Clean nooks and crannies
Use a good interior cleaner that has a UVA/UVB protectant in it like Laura Klein’s Tire & Dashboard Cleaner. Use it to clean various nooks and crannies in your vehicle, including cup holders, crevices in and around your center console, dashboard displays, and so on.

Step 9: Clean windows and mirrors
Finish by cleaning your windows and mirrors with a good non-toxic streak-free formula. Most conventional window cleaners contain asthma triggers that can set off an asthma attack at any moment. Toxic chemical cleaners can also trigger allergies, which is another good reason to choose non-toxic cleaners. Laura Klein’s Green Car Glass & Mirror is an excellent non-toxic choice for sparkling streak-free windows and mirrors. Simply spray your windows and mirrors and shine dry using a dry microfiber cloth.

It’s a great idea to have a regular cleaning schedule for your vehicle in order to properly maintain it, inside and out. After all, it’s much easier to remove dirt and grime on a regular basis then have to scrub to clean surfaces with an accumulation of debris. This will help to keep your vehicle looking newer for longer, which ultimately helps to keep your vehicle’s residual value high as well. And we all want that!
