In the winter, I share a shop with an “ice road trucker” that runs three semi’s to Prudoe Bay and beyond several times per week,… This is a picture from yesterday where they had to ‘carve’ through 13′ of fresh snow …
I love carpet cleaning those nice warm places!
Damaged carpet can often be repaired for a tiny fraction of the cost of replacement. Areas damaged by pets, dyes that are ‘set’ from spills, burns in the carpet, etc are permanent, however, a razor and reasonably matching carpet can solve even the worst “permanent” problems.
If you have to be stuck in a conference room, what a great way to suffer…. SUPER nice coffee maker just out of sight as well…
The beginning process of adding reducing agents to dyes in the carpet and warming up the steamer to help ‘open’ the dye sites
Sample of the slow transfer process to remove foreign dyes from the carpet without removing carpet color… reducing agents, gentle agitation, steam, blot, repeat, repeat, repeat…. try to keep your mind off the cupcakes still on the table behind you….
The public doesn’t even yet have access to this very very nice medical facility… talk about a cupcake ‘bummer’ :-).
If you moved to a rental property and didn’t find absolutely awesome looking-feeling carpet… You have been slighted by your rental agent! :-). Call them and see if there is still time to start your lease with great carpet by calling us! …. Of course by asking nicely….
Can life get better? Trinity “Renewing” carpets and we get paid to do it!
Really enjoyable to do a rental ‘turnover’ when you can absolutely amaze both the residents and the landlord/property manager.
Wow! Did we ever make a difference in this home! Interior pictures before/after weren’t taken with sufficient light, but cleaning the carpet and two staircases was like painting an in finished wall. VERY AWESOME.
A lot of the traffic areas had been heavily soiled AND abraded (scratched). Now there is no way to repair damage to fiber from a abrading, but, as in this case, using “Scotchgard-like” protectors can often make them fully disappear…
Jobs like this always help the old carpet cleaners self-esteem. :-).
Want one sure fire way to help select a great Doctor-Dentist-Chiropractic-Health service? Look at their facilities! Ever notice how professional services keep up their offices, exam rooms, reception areas? You can almost always count on the care shown to cleanliness reflects the goals they have in patient care.
We are in many offices every single month and the fabric floor coverings/upholstery prove the results.
So, when the concern is something as important as your health… don’t just call the office! Stop by in person to set the appointment! A quick look around will answer more questions than any phone call…
And no, we don’t clean all the health facilities in Fairbanks :-(… And, yes, even though it pains me to suggest it… there are other companies that can keep fabric floor/upholstery coverings in as good of shape as we can? :-).
Wish I had the time to take pictures of all of the birds!
Because birds are so sensitive to almost any cleaning products, our company is the obvious choice :-).
Birds can make a mess!
If I had known how much personality they had when they were being photographed I would have done this with dozens… My blog will have more soon.
You probably wouldn’t think of it, but many Fairbanks area homes have some pretty unique pets. Many times these pets are very sensitive to harsh cleaning products.
Label transfers from Tyvek
Trying to go above and beyond “the extra mile”, this construction crew laid down a terrific protective covering for their beautiful newly carpeted floors: Tyvek. It was awesome except for the dyes that were transferred (process called “crocking” where dyes are essentially rubbed into a fabric)… The markings repeated as if they had run the carpet through a printing press, blue “Tyvek” follow by red “logo”. Very discouraging to the folks that had gone to such a great extent to prevent any soiling… Would be so simple to have made this error.
Anyhow, with multiple dry and damp processes… And lots of hours:
Yes, this was rewarding. Very neat to have it work out so well. There ended up being zero damage to the fabrics and no discolorations… and we have a very happy customer.
What a great way to check the winter tires! New snow and lots of driving….
Picture with us already about an hour into the job… One layer at a time. This is yet another rental where the carpet “had” to be replaced…. We repaired burn spots, removed embedded chewing gum and asphalt, repaired dye spots, removed a heavy soil load and “Trinity Renewed” all the fabric floor coverings.
Nice building, quiet, clean …
Well laid out floor plan with soon to be “Pristine Cleaned” floor coverings.
This one was destined for the trash can: our favorites! Of course there are limits, but seldom do our management companies ever need to replace a carpet anymore prior to it’s expected life.
Upon arrival
Starting to prepare the carpet for cleaning…
Removal of the first layers
Above: after soil removal and visually improving the abraded (scratched) fiber.
Above is the entry into the next bedroom before
Above is the same entry after (the bleached areas could be repaired by cutting them out/inserting a matching piece of carpet, but not worth it to the owners in this case/situation)
Hallway before
Hallway after
And yes, the new residents are able to move in!
