At first glance we may look like any other carpet cleaner, but we’re anything but that. Oxi Fresh has been designed from the ground up to provide the most effective, safest, and greenest Minnesota carpet cleaning possible. We don’t use traditional cleaning methods or solutions, because we don’t believe they can provide the quality Minnesota carpet cleanings people deserve. How exactly is our Minnesota carpet cleaning system different? It’s a green, low moisture, pile lifting cleaning system. Oxi Fresh’s cleaning method uses green carpet cleaning solutions - a powerful oxygenated booster and an encapsulator - that actively break up dirt and debris and then capture it all in microscopic crystals. And for our cleaning solutions to work, we only need 5% of the water a traditional Minnesota carpet cleaning company would use. Where most steam cleaners need 40-60 gallons of water to clean a home, we need two. That means after your Minnesota carpet cleaning, you’ll be back on your now dry carpets in about an hour!

Water and Smoke Damage Repair questions, answered by experts

Smoke can be tricky to remove from your home, especially after a fire. The best way to eliminate the smell is to open the windows to increase ventilation and air circulation in your house. Then, use white vinegar to wipe down walls, furniture, and floors. Try steam-cleaning carpet and other upholstered items to remove the smell of smoke.

Burning a single palm tree stump, if you’re careful, is technically doable DIY. However, you should always take precautions to control the fire and do research if you’re burning multiple types of trees. 

Some trees, such as ornamental trees, black cherry, and some oak trees, release toxins into the air when burned that can be irritating to your lungs (or even dangerous) to breathe in.

The first thing you should do when cleaning smoke damage is open all your windows to ventilate the affected area and run an air purifier with a HEPA filter. Cover your furniture and belongings to prevent soot accumulation, and vacuum any soot that’s on the floor and other surfaces. Be sure to wear a mask, gloves, and eye protection when cleaning the affected area.

Hazard insurance is the part of your overall homeowner's insurance policy that covers the structure of your home and other structures on your property, as well as any personal property within those structures. When a lender requires you to get hazard insurance for your new home purchase, they’re referring to a standard homeowner’s insurance policy.

The most common causes of kitchen fires are leaving cooking food unattended, frying food with excessive amounts of oil, and leaving flammable objects near the stovetop.
