Cleaning Program Launch for Shared Laundry Room Vents

ServiceMaster Clean Residential for Vancouver is launching a program for regular maintenance of common laundry room dryer vents. The constant use of these facilities generates huge amonts of lint build up in very short time spans. The results: less efficient dryers, risk of damage to the machines, and greater risk of fires. Our maintenance program drastically reduces those risks and related costs.

To give an example, manufacturers recommend annual cleaning of dryer vents for regular 1 family use of a dryer. This is based on a few loads of laundry dried per week. Common laundry room dryers are used many more times each day than just 1 family would use theirs in a week. The lint that piles up inside in a few months time can be amazing – something I found out while performing a dryer vent cleaning job last year. The pictures shown were from dryer vents that had been cleaned out 6 months previously.

In order to ensure proper regular maintenance of this type of facility, we are offering regularly scheduled maintenance of shared laundry rooms to our customers to make sure this need is addressed.

Our common laundry dryer vent cleaning programs include:

-1 yearly cost, several visits booked throughout the year

-free camera inspection of dryer vents for any problem areas

-ServiceMaster 100% satisfaction guarantee

3 Common Misconceptions About Carpet Cleanin

Here are three of the most common questions we get from building managers in regards to carpet cleaning. We’re busting the myths – or misconceptions – in order to help everyone better understand what they should expect from a properly run maintenance program be it with us or with a Charlottesville carpet cleaning service closer to you.

#1. Maintenance cleaning should take as long as the hot water extraction cleaning.

False.

The primary part of this type of cleaning comes from the rotary agitation of the interim cleaning machine. (1 of the 4 elements as described in the first article above, and more about the type of machine listed in the article directly above.) Because the machine spins so quickly, it uses the element of agitation primarily and can be pushed more swiftly across the carpet, this method is much faster than hot water extraction cleaning. Time does not need to be taken to ensure water is extracted from the carpet.

A properly trained technician can get excellent results for the interim maintenance cleaning in half the time as the restorative, hot water extraction cleaning. You can find such professional technicians, in almost all the carpet cleaning services. Try and look for them!

#2. We only need to do the hot water extraction 1x per year for the carpets to stay clean. We can skip the interim cleaning methods.

False.

Every carpet manufacturer will explain that this voids the warranty of their product.

Carpet is not capable of having an extended lifespan with only vacuuming and once per year hot water extraction carpet cleaning. All manufacturers’ recommendations include interim maintenance methods combined with hot water extraction, often described as a restorative clean. Only cleaning with hot water once per year is neglecting the carpets, and will cut their lifespan in half. You may have to take extra precautions or hire experts such as Chem-Dry of Charleston who can get the carpets cleaned professionally. By waiting for a year to see the heavily soiled carpet, and then attempting to bring it ‘back to life’, you’ve waited too long. Permanent damage is done, and the more this neglectful method is used, the more cumulative those effects become. By using a certified professional company like ServiceMaster Residential, your history of carpet maintenance works in your favor if replacement due to manufacturers’ defect is ever in question.

#3. I don’t have to vacuum the carpet today, the carpet cleaners are coming, and that will take care of it.

False.

According to industry analysis, 74% – 80% of soil present in carpet is particulate or fibrous dry soil, and that 85% of soil can be removed through routine vacuuming.

79% – insoluble soils, sand, quartz, clay, carbon

10% – petroleum, oils, grease, tar, animal and vegetable oil

6% – sugar, starch, salts

5% – moisture, unknown residues

If that particulate is left in the carpet before a rotary maintenance clean or hot water extraction, the cleaning of deeply embedded soil is blocked by those soils which could have been easily removed. It also can clog up the vacuuming part of the hot water extraction system, making it less effective, and lengthening drying times. Vacuuming before the experts arrive for a carpet cleaning service always increases the effectiveness of the service visit.
