Whether there is a spill or water is tracked in from outside, when most flooring surfaces get wet, they become slippery. Carpet provides a stable, nonslip surface. If carpet does get wet, it maintains its ability to create traction and secure footing. Carpet not only reduces the likelihood that a slip will occur, it softens the impact of the fall and its softness reduces the chances of injury.
Professional Carpet systems has proudly donated time participating in the PACR (Professional Association of cleaning & restoration) event last week, that included cleaning the carpet in the Ronald McDonald House in Denver CO. The House provides a home-away-from- home for families with seriously ill or injured children that have to come to Denver to receive medical care for their child.
Is it hard to care for? There is a special beauty about velvet. It was once considered a fragile and delicate fabric, but today’s lovely velvets are meant to be used, to be enjoyed!
The main thing to remember about velvet is that it is a weave and not a special type of delicate fiber. Velvets are now made from cotton and almost every synthetic fiber available: nylon, polyester, acrylic and even herculon. They are warm and luxurious like their predecessors, but far easier to clean and some are virtually immune to stains.
What to do. If someone spills something on your velvet sofa, get it up as rapidly as possible by blotting (never rubbing!). Then follow by sponging with a mild detergent solution, one that’s made for fine fabrics. Blot with more dry towels; again, don’t rub! When almost dry, gently wipe in the direction of the velvet’s nap-lay. When completely dry, go over carefully with a clean, soft brush.
Vacuum your velvet covered furniture at least monthly. Velvet piles collect dust and abrasive soil particles just like your drapes and carpets.
Have your velvets professionally cleaned. This is generally not a job for the “do-it-yourselfer.” You do not have the proper equipment to avoid nap distortion and the use of a professional velvet finishing brush is imperative. Particularly avoid putting any moisture on crushed velvet. You could completely ruin it. Call a professional.
You’ve just stepped out of bed onto a cold, soggy carpet. You hear water running somewhere. You feel panicky. What should you do?
First find out what’s causing the overflow.It could be a burst pipe, a washing machine hose has cracked open, the toilet is overflowing, or maybe someone left a faucet running and the sink is stopped up. Household flooding isn’t always caused by the river bursting its banks, or vandals turning the hose into your bedroom. You can have a dandy flood from just one everyday accident.
Move quickly. Once you determine the cause see if you can’t do something to stop it. Know where to turn off the main water valve. Go do it. Then get your furniture up off the floor before it stains the carpet.
Call for help immediately. You may need a plumber too.
