I have a coffee stain on my carpet. How do I clean it?
 
 
Coffee is one of the most common carpet stains, yet one of the most difficult to remove. Removing the spot immediately is the best solution, because if it's allowed to remain on the carpet, the oils and dyes in the coffee will penetrate the pores of the carpet fiber and become a permanent stain.

Here are some tips for removing old coffee spots:

  • If possible, extract the area with a portable extractor and hand tool.
  •  
  • Apply a detergent spotter to the spot, agitate and rinse the area. This removes the oils from the carpet fiber.
  •  
  • Apply a tannin spotter, agitate and rinse. This step is necessary because coffee beans are acidic. A strong, acid tannin spotter is needed to remove the dye stain left from coffee.
  •  
  • Finally, use a detergent spotter or protein spotter to remove any mild or creamer stains, then rinse thoroughly.
  •  
  • If you don't have the necessary spotters and/or equipment, call Janex Building Services, Inc.

What else can we do to improve indoor air quality?

Whenever possible, use mechanical means rather than chemical means for cleaning. For example, use a microfiber cloth instead of a chemical-based dust control product. Also use a microfiber cloth instead of a feather duster, which causes dust to become airborne.

Use spray bottles instead of aerosols for applying chemicals if another means is not possible, and make sure you have proper ventilation when using chemicals. When in a commercial building, make sure ventilation systems are turned on. Inadequate ventilation allows chemical by-products to be absorbed into porous items such as ceiling tiles and wallboard.

  • Never mix chemicals together
  •  
  • Make sure to follow recommended dilutions
  •  
  • Avoid over-wetting absorbent surfaces when cleaning
  •  
  • Use dust containing equipment such as HEPA-filter vacuum cleaners
You get what you don't pay for.

Beware of any cleaning service that attempts to underbid competitors or severely cut costs just to gain your business. They may be doing so because of inexperience or a lack of insurance coverage. If they destroy your desks - or worse, your floors - you'll run into big problems.

 

Franchise insight.

Consider and evaluate franchised cleaning services as carefully as you would any cleaning company. While a franchise may carry a familiar brand name, an entrepreneur operates each one independently and may not have extensive experience in the cleaning industry.

 

Keep Your Home’s Air Clean for Your Family’s Health

  While Americans spend an estimated 90 percent of their time indoors, the majority of the public does not realize that the air in their homes can contribute to health problems, particularly during peak summer months when ozone pollution is at its highest, according to the American Lung Association.
