When you think of carpet cleaning, what words pop into your head? I am sure that organic wasn't one of them. Now, most people, myself included, are probably thinking what's the difference? Organic, free range eggs, organic home cleaning supplies, organic dish detergent. You can get just about anything organic these days. Hey, if it works then why not, right?
This innovative cleaning system has been tested and researched since 1930 and the product has evolved into dry, organic sponges used to trap, dissolve, absorb spots, soils and odors. The product is called HOST and it was just awarded the Green Seal because of the non toxic nature of the actual product and the harmless disposal. These micro sponges are amazing. Think about cleaning off your counter top, you don't use a soaking wet sponge nor do you use a sponge that is as dry as a bone, you use a moist sponge. Well, that is exactly how it works, millions of sponges are rotated through the carpet fibers and they soak up all the dirt that is trapped in the carpet yarns and then with a flip of a switch the sponges are vacumed right up and you can walk on the carpet immediately.
This method of cleaning is proven to eliminate 80% of your dust mites (saliva, dead skin), dust mite allergens, cat allergens and mold spores.
So, not is healthy for your home, healthy for the environment, it is dry so you don't have to worry about wet, soggy carpets.
Organic isn't just for the "green people"

Dealing with Fleas in Your Carpet

Everyone loves pets. Well, practically everyone. While pets are great, you often will have a problem with fleas getting into your carpet.

Dealing with Fleas in Your Carpet

As anyone with pets can tell you, keeping a house clean when you have a furry friend can be a challenge. From muddy paws, to hairballs and fuzz, pets present some unique cleaning problems - especially where cleaning floors and furniture is concerned. Carpets can be more difficult than other types of flooring, just because they generally tend to trap more dirt and fur, as well as smells and other unwanted debris. One of the things that having a pet can do to your carpet is bring in more guests: like fleas.

Fleas are those annoying little blood-sucking pests that come into your home clinging to that outdoor dog or cat. Their bites can cause itching and red bumps, as well as misery, for both your pet and you. Adult fleas spend all of their time riding on their hosts, which are usually your pets, and don't spend time hanging out in your carpets or other fabric household items. Eggs, too, are found on animals; the adult fleas lay their eggs in the hair or fur of your pets. The stage at which fleas really spend a lot of time in your carpet is at the larval stage. Here, they feed off of dried blood and other matter left in areas where your pet lays (this material is produced by the adult fleas, and falls off in these areas).

The only way to truly get rid of these flea larvae is by carpet cleaning - fleas don't stand a chance if you follow some of these steps to kill them. Your first step is to vacuum. Believe it or not, this easy type of carpet cleaning - fleas can't live through. If you vacuum regularly, you will remove eggs and larvae from the carpet, which will stop them from growing into the adult flea pests. After vacuuming, be sure to seal your vacuum bag in a plastic bag, and throw the plastic bag away outside immediately. This will stop the fleas from being able to escape back into your house.

You can also apply insecticide to your carpet. Be sure to keep pets and people off of the carpet that you've treated until the insecticide dries (it can be toxic, especially to pets and small children). Then, perform some regular carpet cleaning - fleas that have died, as well as any chemical residue, will be picked up easily with a good steam cleaning. Of course, to keep your home truly flea free, you need to treat the infested pets as well. This way, your carpets will stay clean and without fleas.
