Can I steam-clean a silk rug?

Q: What happens if you don't mop the floor?

• <div><p>Besides feeling icky grit when walking barefoot in your home, not mopping the floors can create health risks. Pollen, dirt, dust, and overall filth lead to allergen, bacteria, and even mold buildup, polluting your home and creating an unhygienic environment. You also risk damaging the floors due to stains and scratches with neglect. Lastly, your home will become less inviting due to odors from the lack of cleaning.</p></div>

Q: Does gum come out of clothes?

• <div><p>If there is only a small amount of gum, it&rsquo;s entirely possible to remove it on your own. What you&rsquo;re unable to pick or scrape off, try to scrub out with warm soapy water. You can try freezing the garment and removing the hardened gum. Some swear by rubbing peanut butter on the gum before washing. No matter which method you choose, do not put your clothing in the dryer until the gum is 100 percent removed. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to steam clean or shampoo a rug?

• <div><p>Different rug cleaning companies may prefer different methods of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-your-area-rugs.htm">cleaning for area rugs</a>, but many prefer to steam-clean rugs and carpeting. Steam cleaning avoids using detergents and cleaners that can be sticky or contain harsh chemicals. Shampooing a rug requires using brushes to agitate and remove the cleaning agent from the carpet, possibly subjecting the carpet fibers to unnecessary wear and tear.</p></div>

It went well and quickly. The day before we emptied the rooms. That took us serious time and effort! He came in and did the cleaning work in roughly an hour. The cleaning really improved the look of the carpets.

Mr. Boller went above and beyond in making sure the carpets and upholstery were very clean; almost like new. He also took two large area rugs to his shop to be cleaned as they were wool and needed special cleaning. They had dog urine stains on them and gunpowder. There aren't enough words to...

Gary did a great job. The leather and carpet were clean and the car smelled so nice - not perfumy, just clean. It sold right away, and everyone remarked how clean it was. I intend to have Gary detail my other car in the spring.

We were charged over $500 to have the process done. (This actually was a payment made through a property manager and out of our deposit to them.) I had to hire another service to clean the carpets properly.
