			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I was completing a carpet and upholstery job when I was approached by my client&#8217;s neighbor.  She asked if I could stop by her home after I finished the job I was on to look at the carpets she had &#8220;just had cleaned&#8221; earlier that morning.  She was obviously concerned there was something wrong with the job another carpet cleaning company had completed.  I finished the job I was on and met with her.  </p>
<p>When I entered her home she asked me to feel the carpets that had been cleaned approximately 3 hours earlier with a company utilizing a portable carpet cleaning machine.  The carpets were SOAKED with water!  The excessive water in her carpets could have caused serious problems if it was not removed.  She asked if I would help her remedy the problem because she was having family in town the following day.  I was able to remove approximately 15 gallons of water from 900 sq feet of carpet!  That amount of moisture left in carpet is absurd!  Not only were the carpet wet, they were still dirty.</p>
<p>I was asked to clean the home&#8217;s carpets again and left my speed dryers to assure there was no damage from the previous company&#8217;s soaking.  </p>
<p>Please do your research when you are selecting a carpet cleaning company.  Carpet left in poor condition can not only ruin the carpet, pad, and sub flooring, it can also cause health issues in your home.  Code Blue Carpet Cleaning utilizes IICRC certified technicians and follow industry standards.  We take pride in cleaning your carpets correctly the first time.  Remember, quality may not be the cheapest bid!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! I enjoyed seeing my family and spending time with them. I actually took some time to relax. Over the last several weeks business has really picked up and I am back in the swing of things. If your home was full of family for the holidays chances are your home&#8217;s carpets could use some attention. Give me a call and let us get a cleaning appointment scheduled. Remember, dirt acts like sand paper on your carpet and can damage the carpet&#8217;s fiber if it is not removed! I enjoy working evening and weekends so my scheduling is flexible. The entire month of February I am offering 20% off upholstery cleaning with a whole house carpet cleaning (800 sf ft or more).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Keeping your carpet clean is never an easy task. Spills and dirt can really be bothersome especially if we’re talking about expensive carpets that are too delicate for your regular cleaning solutions.<br />
Take note of these important tips from <a href="http://www.codebluecarpetcleaning.com"><em><strong>Carpet Cleaning Denver</strong></em></a> to help you in your carpet care and maintenance.</p>
<h2>Clean Up that Spill Real Quick!</h2>
<p>Worried about staining? Here’s the proper way of cleaning up spills:<br />
1.	Remove any solids.<br />
2.	Use clean, cold water to remove the excess dirt or stain.<br />
3.	 Use a paper towel or clean cloth to blot the remaining liquid from the carpet.<br />
4.	If after doing these, the stain remains on your carpet, then it’s time to call <a href="http://www.codebluecarpetcleaning.com"><em><strong>Carpet Cleaning Denver</strong></em></a> —the expert in carpet care.</p>
<p>Scrubbing and Brushing… A No-No!<br />
Don’t even think of using that brush or scrub on your carpet! Scrubbing and brushing can result to permanent damage as they can destroy your carpet’s fibers and set the stain forever.</p>
<p>So what should you do then? <a href="http://www.codebluecarpetcleaning.com"><em><strong>Carpet Cleaning Denver</strong></em></a> advises regular vacuuming. With the help of the appropriate spot treatment, it should be able to remove the stain gradually without causing damage.</p>
<h3>Wear those Gloves and Do a Patch Test</h3>
<p><a href="http://www.codebluecarpetcleaning.com"><em><strong>Carpet Cleaning Denver</strong></em></a> advises that gloves should be worn at all times when applying chemical solutions. You should also test the solution on an area that is partly hidden to check its effect. If the test shows that the solution does not cause damage to your carpet, apply a small solution from outside working towards the middle. If the stain remains stubborn, try a more potent solution but you must always remember to test it first.<br />
Alas! The stain is gone. What to do next? Remove excess water by blotting them with a clean absorbent cloth. Water can also damage your carpet and even trigger the growth of mildew or fungi.</p>
<h2>Regular Cleaning: A Great Help in Carpet Maintenance</h2>
<p>Clean your carpets regularly to avoid the accumulation of dirt, bacteria, insects, and fungi. Especially if you have small children at home, regular carpet cleaning is a must.<br />
Carpet Cleaning Denver believes that maintaining that carpet will be a lot easier by following these tips. Of course, you can holler and call in the experts anytime. Sometimes, it’s better to call in the professionals and spend a little than damage your treasured home accent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently we have had an increase in calls concerning pets stains and particularly pet odors left behind from urine.  With the increase in humidity these odors become more apparent because the urine salts absorbed in carpet and padding are &#8220;re-activated&#8221; with moisture causing a strong urine smell.  If treated thoroughly and effectively these stains and odors can be eliminated.  We have the knowledge and tools necessary to eliminate urine saturation in carpet and padding.  Many carpet cleaning companies &#8220;cover&#8221; the odors with deodorizers after a routine cleaning, however this type of treatment will only temporarily mask the urine odor and the smell will return within a short time.  To properly treat urine stains and odors the carpet and padding must be properly treated by saturating the area(s) with specialized cleaning agents.  These cleaning agents must remain in the carpet and pad for approximately 30 minutes before they are extracted with a high performance substrate extraction device.  The area is then treated with an enzyme deodorizing spray.  These natural enzymes effectively kill any remaining bacteria and eliminate the smell in most areas.  For specifics please call us for more information.</p>
