How to Remove Candle Wax from your Rugs and Carpets

November 29, 2012 by

Candles are beautiful, but when the wax drips on your carpet, it can be very frustrating. There are several simple steps to take in order to remove the wax from your carpet, but it is important to act quickly. The faster you attempt to remove the wax, the easier it will come up.

Scrape

As soon as you realize that wax has spilled, use a butter knife to try to remove as much as possible. A simple scraping motion will remove any hardened wax. If there is wax that is not yet hardened, you can use an ice cube on it instead of the butter knife to cause the wax to harden.

How to Remove Red Wine from Rugs and Carpets

November 23, 2012 by

There is no fear quite like the one that you feel when you see red wine spilling onto your rug or carpet. Your first thought is to cringe, knowing that the stain is never going to come out. Luckily, with a few easy steps, you should be able to remove the stain without any traces of it ever existing.

Homemade Solution

It might surprise you that all it takes is a solution made up of hydrogen peroxide and Dawn dish soap. Combine equal amounts of both products into a spray bottle and shake thoroughly. Spray the solution directly onto your wine stain, thoroughly soaking the area. Once the area is soaked, use a clean, white cloth to blot up the stain.

Why Entrance Matting Will Protect your Commercial Flooring

November 15, 2012 by

Dirt. Water. Snow. Slush. If you run a business, you know no matter what is happening outside, at least a portion of it will end up inside as your customers and employees head in and out all day long.

In order to provide a safe, healthy commercial environment, the best choice that your commercial operation can make is to use appropriate entrance matting. The right mat can help you control the level of sanitation within your environment, as well as keep it safe for everyone involved.

Contrary to popular belief, not all mats are created equal. Understanding the benefits to finding the right mats will allow you to better protect your commercial flooring.

Slips and Falls

A commercial building owner’s worst nightmare is for someone to slip and fall on the flooring. More often than not the owner is responsible, which is why the appropriate matting is essential to the safety of everyone. Look for mats that remove dirt and debris from shoes, as well as moisture, to reduce the risk of slipping and falling. Shoes that are wet and dirty create the perfect recipe for falling and getting seriously hurt on your property. [Read more…]

10 Tips To Buying An Area Rug

May 2, 2012 by

Hardwood and tile flooring are both popular choices for a home’s floor. However, neither of these options provides a “soft” area – an area where your feet can relax, an area where your little ones can crawl in comfort. This is one reason why area rugs are a useful option.

These small rugs provide the look and feel of carpet without the fuss and muss. They also give you an easy way to add a splash of style to your home. You can have your cake and eat it, too – or in this case, you can have your hard flooring and your carpet too. Keep the following ten tips in mind when buying your next area rug.

1.    Use masking tape to “visualize” the size of the rug you will need.

2.    Snap a picture of the room where you need the area rug and take it with you for reference when you go shopping. [Read more…]
