Vancouver Carpet Cleaning By SmithWerks - Filtration Marks

One of the most challenging issues that carpet cleaners and home owners have to deal with are filtration stains.  These are those unsightly black lines that run along your baseboards or, quite often, under doors leading into closets or rooms.

So what are they? How are they caused? And, what can be done to remove them?

Well, the answer to what they are is simple.  Air in your home travels.  In homes that have forced air heating and cooling, the issue of filtration marks can be more acute.  There is a gap, typically, between the wall and the floor joists of a building.  As air circulates around the house, it finds its way to this gap.  As the air passes through the gap, your carpet acts like a filter, picking up dust, pollutants and soot.  The same effect occurs under doors leading to rooms or closets.

As this soiling accumulates, it starts to "scratch" or etch the carpet fibre.  As an unfortunate result, these marks, quite often , cannot be fully removed.  The degree to which the stains will be removed is dependent upon the length of time the soiling has been allowed to accumulate, the type of pollutants present and the volume of air flow.

Your SmithWerks professional can help determine the likelihood of full removal of these stains.

Steps to prevent the formation or filtration lines would include proper sealing of the gap between floor and wall joists prior to the installation of carpets.  Regular vacuuming with particular attention to the carpet immediately next to the baseboards using your vacuum's edging tool.  Be careful not to scratch your baseboard paint.

Customer Service - The Key to our Success

We've heard it many a time.  Great customer service keeps them coming back year after year.  We've also heard that when we receive great customer service we tell one or two of our friends.  However, when we are the recipients of bad customer service, we tell a dozen people.  Ask anybody who works in the customer service department of a retail operation, and they'll tell you they hear more from people with complaints than those who just want to call up and say "good job".

Which ever line of thinking you subscribe to, providing excellent customer service is essential.

At SmithWerks North Vancouver Carpet Cleaning, we believe that our more than 14 years of stellar success can be rooted firmly in our commitment to providing our customers with a fantastic customer service experience from the initial phone call right to our follow up call after you've had us in to clean your carpets or upholstery.

If you'd like, we've documented some of the feedback we've received from our clients on our website http://www.yelp.ca/biz/smithwerks-carpet-and-upholstery-care-vancouver .

Remember to call SmithWerks North Vancouver Carpet Cleaning when you're ready for your next carpet or upholstery cleaning.

SmithWerks Vancouver Carpet Cleaning - Preparing for your Carpet Cleaning

Quite often, our customers will ask what they can do to prepare for their cleaning in advance of our arrival.  Understanding that having your carpets or upholstery cleaned can be a bit of a disruption to your daily routine, we try to make your participation as little as possible.

However, there are a couple of things that the homeowner can do including removing any plants from the cleaning area, perhaps breakable off of item that we maybe moving.  Probably the most helpful thing a home owner can do, though, is have everything (clothes, papers, toys) picked up off the floor in advance of our arrival.  This prevents any accidental breakage or anything being sucked up off the floor during the cleaning.

A quick vacuum of the area being cleaned would also be helpful.  Nothing too extensive.  Just a quick vacuum to address any debris or hair that might be present.

If you have any questions that haven't been answered here, please feel free to call SmithWerks Vancouver Carpet Cleaning at 604-924-0518.
