Ready to give your home a top-to-bottom buffing? Start by focusing your efforts on the big pieces and on the places that make the most difference to you: furnishings, appliances, and carpeting. Once you’ve covered these major tasks, you’ll have your home spring-cleaned in no time.
- 1. Make doormats welcoming.
Shake ‘em, wash ‘em, swat ‘em with a broom. Give them the toughest cleaning they can take. They’re your front line against tracked-in dirt — so keep them clean enough to function at peak efficiency.
- 2. Clean carpets and upholstery.
Fabrics that have absorbed a winter’s worth of dirt, body oil, and germs will need a deep cleaning to get them ready for another year of wear — and for that close inspection by your relaxing guests.
Some additional tips for your Utah carpet cleaning or Utah upholsterycleaning. Save time by moving furniture just slightly out of the room or against the wall, as the old rules dictated — and place the legs of each piece back on top of small wax paper squares after cleaning. The wax paper will protect your carpet and keep the furniture legs from getting wet as the carpet dries. Open the windows to speed the drying process, which can take a few hours or so. Call your Utah Carpet Cleaning professional carpet and upholstery cleaner like Advantage Chem-Dry to do the work and take the morning off or even on a Saturday
- 3. Finish your floors.
To protect the floors in your kitchen from another year of wear and tear, wax or apply a sealer following label directions. The simplest method: Use a combination wash-and-wax floor cleaner. Don’t feel guilty about saving time!
No-wax floors don’t need a polishing treatment, but an occasional makeover will keep them looking fresher — and add a protective buffer that could help them last longer. Use a floor cleaner that cleans, shines, or both. It’s best to follow label directions for proper use of each product. If you have wood floors, move furniture and rugs aside, then apply a wood cleaner and either liquid or paste polish to clean and add a new wax coating.
And don’t forget your Utah tile and grout cleaning.
- 4. Wash walls, cabinets, baseboards, and woodwork.
The walls may not look as if they need a bath — after all, dust and soot fall to the floor, right? Most of it does, but just enough clings to vertical surfaces to warrant a seasonal or preholiday bath. Use a sponge and hand dishwashing detergent, washing the surface in sections. A sponge mop makes it easier to reach higher spots. Use two buckets: one for dishwashing detergent solution and another for wringing your sponge. Dry the walls and woodwork with a clean cloth.
- 5. Vacuum with intelligence.
The old rules mandated that you go through the labor-intensive task of dragging every stick of furniture off the carpet, just so the vacuum cleaner could cover every nook and cranny. The new rules will save you time, and you’ll still get the corner-to-corner cleaning done: Simply move those big items a little to the left or to the right. Vacuum the area previously occupied by the furniture and then move it back into place.
- 6. Clean ceiling fixtures.
Remove dust and dirt from ceiling fans and air-conditioner vents with a cloth and a vacuum with a soft nozzle attachment.
- 7. Clean your light fixtures.
A few minutes with a stepladder, all-purpose cleaner, a sponge, and a polish cloth will give new light to your life. If your home has skylights or tall ceilings, consider investing in a stepladder and extended-reach dust-and-dirt-removal tools, all of which are available at your local hardware store and at home — and janitorial — supply stores.
- 8. Check your coils.
You should clean the refrigerator’s condenser coil, usually found behind the toe grille, with a long-handled bottle brush and a vacuum cleaner with an attachment hose to remove dust and lint. Built-up dust can shut down the unit by causing it to overheat.
To remove dust from coils attached to the hard-to-reach back side of the fridge, carefully pull the refrigerator out several feet (newer models roll on casters) and vacuum thoroughly; finish by sweeping or vacuuming the floor area you’ve revealed. Expect to rediscover coins, bottle caps, and twist ties that you and the cat knocked over the past year.
As the temperatures rise and it becomes warmer don’t forget about your Utah Air Conditioning Coils.

There are always options when you seek carpet cleaning in Utah, but it is wise to be aware of the most effective and natural choice that can leave carpets very clean and fresh with absolutely no sticky residue of any kind of soap or detergent. This method is also as earth friendly as can be.
The secret to Green Carpet Cleaning In Utah is the use of carbonated water, and no harsh chemicals. The same effervescent feeling you get from a refreshing sparkling water as a drink can be the power that gets your carpets cleaner than they have ever been.

The use of charged clean water is the way to remove all dirt and stains from the carpeting with no soapy film left behind. No film or residue to attract dirt means carpets are cleaner and they also stay cleaner longer.
For the household that have pets, there are always the additional concerns of keeping the floors fresh and clean while removing the telltale signs that the pets may have left on the floors.

Facts You Need To Know About Pet Urine In Your Carpeting:
Urine deposited on carpet does not stay there, it penetrates the fibers and contaminates both the backing of the carpet and the flooring material below the carpet. Often, without your knowing, pets will urinate continually in the same general location. Urine odors can permeate from the floor, be it cement or wood, from the tack strip, and even from the framework of the house behind the walls.
As the urine dries, the liquid evaporates but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simple carpet cleaning will not remove this odor. Until recently, there was not a product available that was effective at removing urine odors.
When P.U.R.T.(Pet Urine Removal Treatment) contacts the source of the odor, it immediately begins a chemical reaction that destroys the urine odor.
As a technician with Chem Dry, a lot of the carpet cleaning jobs I go to are people moving into a new place. One of the first things most customers wonder is what went on with the carpets that the new family will be playing on, rolling on and just plain living on. We use a high powered black light to do a thorough inspection of your home to see if there is any URINE, blood, fecis, or any other unwanted, hazardous deposites in the carpet. Even if the carpet looks fine, all sorts of things might be down there and we can take care of them all. Another service we offer is tile cleaning. Most customers are amazed to finally see the original color of their grout. With specific products for all our services, we have just what you need to make your carpet and tile look like new again. Give us a try we guarantee satisfaction.
One of the services we offer is Pet Urine Removal Treatment, or PURT. Unfortunately carpet cleaning by its self will not remove all of the pet urine or pet urine odor from the carpet. When a customer follows our recommendations for the PURT treatment we are able to guarantee the results of the urine odor removal. Its always a challenge though to keep the animals from continuing the same behavior. That we have no control over. Our inspection process will tell us if the pet urine is a new untreated spot. The challenge is also to try to prevent more urine from being deposited in the carpet.
As a pet owner, I realize the potential for happiness a cat or dog can bring into your life. You wouldn’t have a pet in your life if there wasn’t potential to make it that much better to come home after a hard day’s work.
At the same time, however, I recognize that there is also potential for downsides to owning a pet. Whether it’s a cat scratching on that very nice sofa of yours or a dog tracking all sorts of soil and mud into the house, owning a pet can be very damaging to your house and especially to your carpet and/or furniture. Now, Advantage Chem-Dry can’t help you with the cat scratching on your $1,000 sofa, but they can help you with one very vital thing: pet urine odor removal.
As a wise person once told me, “Pets are much like children.” Much like children, pets need attention constantly, and will find a way to get that attention. And, much like children, pets will have “accidents”. 99% of the time, these accidents will happen on the worst possible surface in the house: your carpets.
However, all is not lost, because Advantage Chem-Dry has what they call P.U.R.T., or Pet Urine Odor Removal Treatment. See, these other carpet cleaners will only scratch the surface of the carpets, not only not getting all of the urine odor out of the carpet, but potentially pushing the urine odor even further into the carpets. With Advantage Chem-Dry’s P.U.R.T., it lifts the urine out of the carpet and removes it from the carpet, making your home smell nice and clean.
So the next time your furry friend decides to not take it outside and instead just lets loose right there on your carpet, don’t panic, call Advantage Chem-Dry and ask for their Pet Urine Odor Removal Treatment services. You’ll see – and smell – the difference.
This last week I cleaned the carpets for a nice lady in Fruit Heights. On arrival I immediately saw the traffic lines that were very dark on her white carpet. Also she had a pet urine problem from a deceased dog in one certain area. Her complaints were of having someone out to her house already that didn’t do hardly anything to the look or smell of the carpets. After recommending all of our products that would help her out of her situation she said lets do it. After cleaning the carpets in her whole house top to bottom (5 hours later) we both walked through what had transformed into a new house. Her carpets were white again. The Pet Urine Removal Treatment not only removed the yellow stains but also was removing completely the odor. The customer was so happy with the carpet and thrilled with the results she wanted to hug me. She also said the the carpet cleaning was a little more expensive than she had originally planed for, but was worth every penny.
