With our busy lives, many of us neglect the care of our furniture and upholstery. Stains and dirt can be much more visible on our carpets, leading us to place priority on our floors rather than the furniture we sit on nearly every day. However, these pieces of furniture can also be a breeding ground for mold, bacteria and allergens.

When you consider the makeup of the furniture you sit on each day, this all makes sense. Underneath the fabric is padding, creating cushion. This padding soaks up stains and spills like a sponge, making it impossible for non-commercial cleaning solutions to remove them. Even the surface of the furniture, on the actual fabric, can house bacteria. Dirt, sweat, skin, lotion, makeup and more rubs off our bodies onto this fabric on a daily basis. Not to mention, pet dander and hair from our furry friends.

It is important to keep your furniture clean and free of these elements. We recommend having your most used upholstery professionally cleaned once a year. Not only will it increase its longevity within your home but will keep your family healthier and your guests welcomed! CitruSolution’s low-moisture process will dry in about an hour and is free of chemicals, keeping your family safe during the process!

Microbiologists have identified air blown from a running vacuum cleaner as one of the five places in the home that has the highest numbers of germs. Other places include dish sponges, washing machines, bathroom toilets during a flush, and kitchen trash cans.

CitruSolution uses a HEPA-certified vacuum during our cleaning process that traps these germs and does not release them back into the air. Technically, HEPA vacuum means a vacuum cleaner which has been designed with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter as the last filtration stage. A HEPA filter is a filter that is capable of capturing particles of 0.3 microns with 99.97% efficiency. The vacuum cleaner must be designed so that all the air drawn into the machine is expelled through the HEPA filter with none of the air leaking past it.

It’s that time of the year again, the start of a new season and time to rid your house of that dusty winter blues! It’s the time when the whole family is recruited to pick up a mop, broom, some window cleaner and furniture polish and go to town to reveal a spick and span masterpiece of a house. Spring is always a busy season for anyone in the cleaning industry, which led me to inquire why do we traditionally clean our homes at the beginning of Spring?

It has been suggested that the origins of spring cleaning date back to the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring. Iranians continue the practice of “khooneh tekouni” which literally means “shaking the house” just before the new year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture. A similar tradition is the Scottish “New Year’s cleaning” on Hogmanay (December 31), a practice now also widespread in Ireland, New Zealand, and to some extent North America.

In Europe and North America in the 19^th century, people had to keep their homes shut tight against winter’s cold, heating them inside with wood and coal-fueled fires. Spring provided the opportunity to rid the home of the smoke, soot and ash that had accumulated by literally throwing open the windows to the warming spring air. Prior to the advent of the vacuum cleaner, March was often the best time for dusting because it was getting warm enough to open windows and doors (but not warm enough for insects to be a problem), and the high winds could carry the dust out of the house. For the same reason, modern rural households often use the month of March for cleaning projects involving the use of chemical products which generate fumes.

In today’s world, Spring cleaning is still a common practice although not as necessary as it was back then. With central heat and air, high-tech vacuum cleaners and environmentally friendly cleaning products, the practice is less crucial. It is now more important to focus on consistent tidying up rather than large, time consuming efforts once a season.

Carpet cleaning is a large part of this process. Keeping your carpets clean by a professional carpet cleaner every 6-9 months is key to removing harmful bacteria, dirt, stains and preventing wear and tear. CitruSolution Carpet Cleaning of Athens is your best choice to provide environmentally-friendly carpet cleaning in Athens, GA and surrounding counties. Our patented process is different from traditional soap-based cleaning methods, which only attract dirt and grime back to carpets. We use a natural, citrus-based solution that is safe for pets and children and is dry in about an hour, so you can get back to life while enjoying the fresh citrus scent left behind from our product!

“I met Ryan last year and found him to be someone that is trustworthy and dependable. My wife and I had him come out to our home and clean all of the carpets while we were on vacation. When we returned, the whole house smelled of citrus and all of the carpets were clean. That was about 4 months ago and none of the previous stains have returned….the carpets are still clean! I would highly recommend Ryan and Citru Solutions if you are looking for someone who is honest, professional and dependable.”

“Had the carpets upstairs done last month. Got all of the dog out of ‘em. The place smelled like an orange grove in the spring time! Really clean and it was dry in just an hour. He’s coming back next week to clean the two lazy boys (chairs- not dogs) and wool leopard print area rug.”

“Watching these guys clean a carpet, you would think it is from an infomercial…except, it actually exists. The owner of the business oversees everything, comes to your house, and the best part….they clean your carpet with an environmentally safe, citrus-based, solution! If you need a carpet cleaned, your are crazy not to use them!”

“I could not be MORE excited about the carpet cleaning I just got from Ryan at CitruSolution of Athens. It is so nice. I have paid the same amount for a cleaning previously and walked in the door afterwards only to be disappointed. I tell y’all, my carpet was nasty. I wanted to rip it out but we didn’t have the money to replace it. It is now A-freaking -MAZING! Thanks Ryan!!”
