How To Get Candle Wax Out Of Carpet
Have you ever accidentally spilled candle wax on your carpet? You probably thought you might have just ruined your carpet. It is not the easiest spill to remove from your carpet, but with a few steps you might be able to correct the little mishap.

The first thing you should do is take a spoon and scrape up as much of the wax as you can. Take an ice cube and place it on the wax for 30 – 60 seconds to help it freeze so you can scrape off more.

After you have scraped off as much as possible, there will probably be some wax left in the carpet. Next, cover the wax with a brown paper bag. Place an iron on the low setting on top of the paper bag. This will heat up the wax and start to liquify it. The wax will be absorbed into the brown paper bag. You should only leave the iron in one spot on the paper bag for 20 – 30 seconds at a time. You need to be careful not to leave the iron on one spot to long and scorch the carpet underneath. The brown paper bag will appear greasy where the wax is being absorbed. Just move it to a new spot on the bag. Keep repeating this process until the wax has been removed.

Sometimes the dyes from the wax could remain. If that’s the case, put a little clear rubbing alcohol onto a white towel and dab it onto the spot. Continue dabbing the spot until no more of the colored dye transfers onto the towel.

The last step is to rinse the spot with clean water. Make sure you wipe up the excess water with a clean white towel. Dry up area as quick as possible to prevent the spot from wicking.

How to choose a Denver carpet cleaner

6 Mistakes to avoid when choosing a Denver carpet cleaner.
MISTAKE #1:

Choosing a cleaner based on low price.
Most of us are attracted by low price, but some cleaners use price as the bait for their misleading advertising. They offer a cheap price — usually between $3.95 and $9.95 per room; then, once they’re in your home or office, they pressure you into buying add-ons. It’s as if you were buying a car and found out that the dealer was charging you extra for the tires and steering wheel. Professional carpet cleaning is not as cheap as some unethical cleaners would like you to believe. Low price could also mean the cleaner has cheap equipment or untrained personnel who won’t do a good job.

MISTAKE #2:

Choosing a cleaner based on one call.
Instead, invite the person to your home and ask for a written quotation. Then you’ll know exactly what the cleaner recommends — and you won’t be the victim of high pressure tactics when the technician steps into your living room.

MISTAKE #3:

Not getting comments from other clients.
Any cleaner can say anything about his past jobs. Sadly, some of what he says may not be true. So first ask friends to recommend cleaners they’ve been happy with in the past. Another option is to get references from the cleaner and check with them to see if the work was done to their satisfaction.

MISTAKE #4

Choosing a cleaner that isn’t certified, or has a bad record with the Better Business Bureau.
If you want to be sure you’re hiring a competent professional, make sure he’s certified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. (All certified cleaners are listed on their Web site.) But don’t stop there. It’s also very important to check with your local Better Business Bureau to make sure the cleaner (certified or not) doesn’t have a long list of complaints from past customers.

MISTAKE #5:

Choosing a cleaner that isn’t a member of a trade association.
Local trade associations are groups of cleaners who are dedicated to:

·         Honest, ethical business practices.

·         Staying current on the latest methods for carpet and upholstery care, cleaning and restoration.

·         Customer satisfaction.

MISTAKE #6

Choosing a cleaner that doesn’t offer a money-back guarantee.
Every cleaning company should be fully accountable for its work. If you aren’t pleased with the job in every way, you shouldn’t have to pay for it, period. Not all cleaners offer a guarantee. Or, if they do, the guarantee may be “limited”. Ask the cleaner if he offers a money-back guarantee and then make sure he includes his guarantee on his written quotation Carpet Cleaning Denver

Another reason that they are so difficult to remove is because of the volume that they put down. They put down so much liquid that the surface fibers can not absorb it. This means that it penetrates the carpet fibers and will go into the backing, the pad and the sub floor. This really complicates the cleaning because it is easy enough to clean the surface but much more difficult to clean under it.

Professional carpet cleaners Denver do have methods of sub surface cleaning but they are pricey and still might not remove all of the material. The only way to really solve the problem completely is to pull the carpet up and replace the pad and clean both sides. This is a time consuming and expensive process.

The last reason that urine can be such a problem is that it contains bacteria. This is what produces the odor. It is feeding on the urine and releasing ammonia and will continue to do so until you remove every bit of the urine.  Check out the 4 STEP PET Stain Removal process here.
