The warm summer months are coming to a close and the blustery, cold, and wet Fall and Winter seasons are descending on the Pacific Northwest. It’s reassuring to come home, take off those shoes, and just let your toes loose on a nice, plush carpet. That is, of course, if you have a nice, plush carpet to begin with. Chances are, you didn’t spend a whole lot of time indoors during the past six months. Either with road trips, hiking, or just working in the garden. When you final

Kids spilling their drinks, puppies having accidents, and mud getting trampled through the house are just some of the ways carpeting can really take a beating. It is no secret that keeping your carpet areas clean can be a big job. Maybe that’s why most homeowners put it off for so long. However, consistent cleaning not only helps keep your carpet looking great, but it can also extend the life of your carpeting. High-traffic areas can be brought back to life and even area rug

Berber, shag, cut pile, loop - at one time or another, all carpet has been soiled by muddy paws, dropped wine, or a sick child. In most of those cases, quick action can prevent a long-lasting stain. But a store-bought carpet cleaner and a few dabs with a washrag won’t clean deep down. After a few years of foot traffic, four-season weather, and simple day to day life, your carpeting can start to look run down. Not messy necessarily, but it certainly won’t have the lush feel t

In the Pacific Northwest, there is really no downtime for leaving the house and enjoying the great outdoors. The Spring, Summer, and Fall seasons make sure hiking trails, ball fields, and camping areas are in non-stop use. Skiing, snowboarding, or snowshoeing keep us active in the coldest temps. At some point, we have to come home, though. And we bring those activities along with us. On the bottom of our shoes, jerseys, snow pants, and whatever else happened to get dirty. No

The first days of Spring are a renewal of sorts. Trees start sprouting new leaves, the grass begins to grow again, and the first daffodils of the year signify the start of warmer weather and sunny day. But this is the Pacific Northwest, so we know that there are still plenty of days of rain on the horizon. Which really isn’t much of a deterrent for most of us. As long as we have our trusty fleeces, a little bit of rain won’t keep us from enjoying the great outdoors. If the t

Clark County is ideally situated to take advantage of everything the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Dipping our toes into the Pacific Ocean during the summer. Hiking or biking up and down the Columbia River Gorge during the Spring. Skiing or snowboarding the slopes of Mt. Hood or even Mt. Bachelor during the winter months. We all have to come home at some point, however. That’s when all of those Pacific Northwest activities enter the house with us. The winter is a particula

Everybody loves a brand new carpet! The way it feels under our bare feet, how nice it looks after vacuuming, and how it improves the overall look of the home. After a few years, though, the freshness can disappear in high traffic areas. Don’t believe us? Move a couch and you’ll see what we mean. Of course, a few Pacific Northwest winters and springs can wreak havoc on the look of the carpet, too. The dirt, grime, and mud that we track in after spending a day outside are grou

While September 21st was the “official” first day of fall, there are still some sunny days ahead and chances to get outside. As foggy mornings give away to bright afternoons, there’s still some time to get a mid-day run or early evening bike ride in. And, of course, the dog needs to go outside no matter what the calendar says. It’s just the way we are in the Pacific Northwest. In many cases, we don’t even need the sun to be out for us to get out. Yes, it’ll be a little soggi

When carpets look dirty, stained, or just plain worn out, you might be hesitant to have people over. It’s time to call in professional carpet cleaning services to bring your floor covering back to life. You may not need the service every week, but refreshing the carpet three or four times a year will keep your home looking great. The same could be said about your business. Of course, a family of four doesn’t bring in as much high traffic, dirt, and debris as a business does.

As far as sitcoms from a few decades ago are concerned, “I don’t do windows” was comedy gold. It was even applied to other situations, too: “I don’t do (blank)” was always good for a laugh. It usually referred to a difficult job that nobody in their right mind would take on if they didn’t have to. However, without windows, our homes would be very bleak indeed. No natural light, no fresh Spring breezes, and no view to the outdoor world. Pretty grim. So, we’re stuck with them

Moving to a new home means moving out of the existing home. And no matter if it’s a hot or cold market, it’s still important to put your best foot forward when selling a home. This means mowing the lawn, finishing all of those projects around the house, and even baking some cookies to make the place smell great. There might be some light dusting. And picking up. And vacuuming. And just making sure everything looks perfect all the time in case the realtor surprises you with a

Spring weather in the Pacific Northwest can be a mixed bag. A very mixed bag. You could start the day with warming sunlight, get hit with a wind storm, experience a downpour, and then return to the sunshine all before noon. Or even at the same time! But after a long winter, we’re ready to get out in the sun, no matter how fleeting. Whether it’s to take the kids to soccer, baseball, or softball practice or to start working in the garden, we’re just glad to be outside. Of cour

You spent hours and hundreds or even thousands of dollars picking out that sofa and chair. It fits your lifestyle and your living room – perfectly.

You may think about getting your carpet cleaned after something’s spilled on it or if mud and dirt have been tracked in, but how often do you think about it when it looks clean, and are we even considering the pollutants and allergens we can’t see that are in our carpet? Believe it or not, our carpets are hiding allergens that could be potentially hazardous to our health. The good news, is that carpet cleaning can significantly improve indoor air quality. Here’s what’s going

(Updated Feb. 17, 2020) It’s crazy how fast your clean tile grout in your bathroom can get dirty. It’s even crazier to see the transformation after you give it a good scrub; it feels like an entirely different room! (And may even inspire you to clean the soap scum off the shower door or even give the toilet a good scrubbing.) Some people think dirty grout is just “the norm.” Perhaps they think that space in between bathroom floor tiles is supposed to be brown and gray. Not tr

As a homeowner or renter, you likely have smoke and carbon monoxide detectors as safety measures--but one issue that many people don’t consider is the air quality in their homes. In fact, indoor air is often two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, yet we spend the overwhelming majority of our time indoors: approximately 90%, as reported by the Environmental Protection Agency. Additionally, heating and air conditioning have become essential in American homes, furthe

If you have a wool carpet, perhaps you're wondering whether you can have it professionally cleaned. The answer is yes.

Spilled juice and milk. Snacks that fall and get mashed into the carpet. Science experiments gone awry. Sleep overs. Play dates. Birthday parties. The list of a kid’s opportunities for making a mess are nearly endless. If you have children running around in your home, you know how they can take a toll on carpets. You love your kids. Their messy ways are endearing. But sometimes it can feel like you have two, not-very-good choices: 1) become a nagging grouch, or 2) live with u
