How to Care for Your Valuable
Carpet in 5 Easy Steps

Your carpet is a valuable investment. Any investment requires maintenance. You change the oil in your vehicle so that the engine will last longer and to avoid costly repairs. The same is true for your carpet, or any floor covering for that matter. By properly maintaining your carpet it will look better, last longer and contribute to a healthier indoor environment.

Here are 5 Easy Ways to Get the Most Out of Your Carpet:

1. Check the Warranty

Copies of specific warranties on your carpet purchase may be available from your carpet retailer. Stain resist warranties can vary from 5 to 20 years. ALL STAIN RESIST WARRANTIES REQUIRE REGULAR CLEANING AND IMMEDIATE SPOT REMOVAL.

2. Vacuum, Vacuum, Vacuum!

It is said that the three most important rules for maintaining carpet are vacuum, vacuum, vacuum. Vacuum your carpet often. Once or twice a week at least. Vacuuming removes the sharp soil that can cut and slice the fiber causing premature wear. Much of this soil is not visible to the eye. Remove any loose particles such as loose food, leaves, pieces of crayon, bugs, etc. as these items can cause a spot on the carpet.

3. Have Your Carpet Professionally Cleaned Often

Most people don’t clean their carpet often enough. Perhaps due to the cost, the hassle factor, or because they do not realize how important regular professional cleaning can be. For example, if your traffic areas are visibly soiled, you have already waited too long! Traffic area soil is somewhat oily and bonds to the carpet fibers, eventually staining the carpet. Once this has taken place, even though professional cleaning will make it look much better, the traffic pattern will still be visible. In addition, traffic area soil is sharp – like sandpaper – and it abrades the carpet fibers. To keep this to a minimum, clean your traffic areas before they look visibly soiled.

As a general rule, professional cleaning by a professional, certified firm should take place about once per year. For extremely heavy traffic areas, cleaning may be required more often. Proper professional cleaning will not leave a sticky residue behind and can be done as many times per year as needed. MANY STAIN RESIST WARRANTIES REQUIRE PROFESSIONAL CLEANING EVERY 2 YEARS. Professional cleaning removes the damaging soil from the traffic areas that vacuuming has not been able to remove. WARNING: UNINFORMED CARPET CLEANERS MAY VOID THE WARRANTY, BE VERY SELECTIVE WHICH COMPANY YOU HIRE.

4. Remove Spots Immediately

Spots that are not immediately removed can turn into permanent stains very easily. When a carpet is new, or has sufficient protector on it, plain tap water will remove many spots. However for those spots that will not move easily with water, you must use a spot cleaner. Select a spot cleaner that is recommended by the carpet manufacturer or your trained, certified professional cleaner. Most spot removers that are purchased over the counter leave too much soap residue and can cause yellowing. Avoid using foam carpet cleaners or any product that is not made specifically for carpet.

Apply spot cleaner sparingly to white terry cloth and gently massage spot causing it to transfer into the cloth. Never pour spot cleaner directly on carpet. If the product that you are using seems to cause the spot to re-soil over a few week period, discontinue use. Any spot that you are not able to remove, and for pet urine or feces, call your professional cleaner immediately.

5. Have Carpet Protector Re-Applied
Residential nylon stain resistant carpets are treated with stain resist properties and soil resistors known as Dupont Teflon or 3M Scotchgard. After a period of 2 to 3 years, some of the soil-resistor wears off. At that point you should consider having a professional carpet cleaner re-apply the treatment after professional cleaning. The soil resistor will help the soil slide off of the carpet easier when vacuuming, spots will be easier to remove, and professional cleaning will be more effective. Unprotected carpet soils faster, doesn’t last as long, and is prone to permanent staining.

We do much more than the average carpet cleaning company. We promise to give the most outstanding service experience ever.


Here's why our clients love us:

CBC which stands for Custom Beauty Care we have been in business since April of 2006.  I started in the carpet cleaning business in November of 1997 in Santa Clarita Valley, which is located in southern California.  The companies name is Carpet Beauty Care, which started in 1978 and is still going strong.  While I was there I attended educational classes and conventions to keep up on the new technology of carpet cleaning.  I am certified through IICRC (institute of inspection cleaning and restoration certification) in carpet cleaning, upholstery & fabric cleaning, water damage restoration.  I am also certified through wool-safe out of Great Britain.

  Due to the cost of living we moved from Santa Clarita Valley to Surprise, Arizona in January of 2006.  I was told  by family members and past customers that I should start my own business due to the quality of work and the customer service that I give.  I still wasn’t sure about starting my carpet cleaning business, since I didn’t know any one or how to market the business.  I went to work for a carpet cleaner in phoenix and saw the work of other carpet cleaners and the quality was poor, the customer service showed no pride in there work.  So that’s when we decided to start CBC (Custom Beauty Care).

  What makes CBC different from other carpet cleaners?  The care and the honesty we give.  Since we are a new company to Surprise, We understand that when a customer calls to schedule a job they are not sure about what kind of service they are going to get?
