What is the best thing to clean your carpet with?

• <div><p>Carpets do best with non-abrasive cleaning solutions either purchased at the store or made at home. You can apply solutions of salt, water, vinegar, or baking soda to your carpet <b>or</b> choose a carpet-safe cleaner. Never mix the two. In between deep cleans, vacuuming twice a week should do the trick for a clean carpet.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What should not be done when cleaning upholstered furniture?

• <div><p>When cleaning upholstery, you want to avoid harsh scrubbing, oversaturating the fabric, and using the wrong kind of cleaner for the fabric you&rsquo;re cleaning. Any of these can cause significant damage to the upholstery, including rips, stains, faded fabric, mildew, or discoloration. Be methodical and use a light touch when cleaning upholstered furniture to preserve the life and look of the upholstery. </p></div>

Q: How long does mildew smell last in carpet?

• <div><p>The duration of mildew smell in carpets depends on several factors, including the extent of moisture, cleanliness, and ventilation. If promptly addressed, the smell can diminish within a few days to a couple of weeks after thoroughly drying and cleaning the carpet. However, in severe cases or if not properly treated, the smell might persist. Persistent odors could indicate deeper mildew growth, requiring professional cleaning or, in extreme cases, carpet replacement to completely eliminate the smell.</p></div>

Q: How do I find the source of the moldy smell in my house?

• <div><p>You can find the smell of mold in your house in two ways: following your nose, and using common sense tactics like looking anywhere there&rsquo;s water first. Mold cannot form in a completely dry environment, which is why you see mold much more often under kitchen sinks than on garage floors. If you have looked everywhere and still can&rsquo;t find the source, <b>hire a pro</b>, because you may have mold in your walls.</p></div>

Q: What does it mean if a couch feels crusty after cleaning it?

• <div><p>If your usually super soft couch feels crusty and rough after cleaning, it could be that you haven&rsquo;t removed the cleaning product properly, you used too much, or you applied the wrong type. Always check the couch tags to select the right cleaning product, read application instructions carefully, and test on an inconspicuous corner. For fabrics such as microfiber, you can soften and fluff crusty fibers using a soft-bristled brush.</p></div>
