I am a carpet and upholstery cleaner for Advantage Chemdry a sister company to “All Clean Air Duct Cleaning” and I have received a little training on the Utah air duct cleaning process. I was recently at a customer’s house where they were having their whole house cleaned before they move into the house they just bought. I was there first to clean up the carpets and they told me that they were having air duct cleaners coming just after I got started on my work. So they show up and I see them speaking to my customer and I was expecting for them to come in with all of their equipment like what I have seen All Clean use. Instead they came in with a large vacuum like the ones from a central vac unit. I then looked out at their car and saw that they had no van but an older car with a large trunk for the equipment. Also their large facial hair and earrings didn’t seem very professional but I guess matched the car I saw. I talked to them and they said that they just open up the vents and pushed a scrubber brush down the vents then went behind with the big vacuum hose. Also the customer said that they saw signs of mice in the basement and maybe in the vents. The customer came to me and asked about a product that the duct cleaners were trying to sell them that was for $200 that would decompose any rat or mice droppings along with the mice themselves. I had never heard of a product like that but they wanted my opinion on it. It’s hard because with the method that All Clean uses there would be no need to decompose anything because their cleaning process would suck up any and all droppings and things left in the ducts or furnaces. The way All Clean does their cleaning an expensive decomposing chemical would not be necessary. All clean has disinfectants that are recommend to fog through the system but there will not be things left in the ducts to decompose.
In the long run I am much more impressed with the way that All Clean Air Duct Cleaning scrubs their customer’s vents. They seem to be a whole lot more thorough with their negative air flow system and what seems to me a whole lot better scrubbing action of the vents. I can’t imagine just spraying some stuff down my heater vents to decompose rat feces then it turning into dust that will be circulated back throughout my house.

Recently, I had the pleasure of showing a customer the advantages of using Chem Dry Utah carpet cleaning verses dry cleaners. We had cleaned her sofa a couple of days earlier when she called our office and asked if we could get throw-up out of a sofa cushion covers. During the conversation I found out that she had taken the covers off of the cushions and sent them to a dry cleaner to remove the odor days before we came out. So I had her bring the covers in and as I was cleaning them for her, we discussed the difference between wet and dry cleaning. Dry is Dry, it does nothing. Water with agitation and some upholstery pretreatment was all it took. So if you have any questions about whats on the label and how its supposed to be cleaned, give us a call please! With more than 30 years Utah carpet cleaning experience you can be sure that we know how to care for your carpet and upholstery.
Normal messes on carpet or upholstery take normal Utah carpet cleaning. However there are times when a death of a loved one, human or pet can cause bodily fluids to get all over the carpet and or upholstery. This can be a more extensive cleaning that your Utah carpet cleaning appointment would be able to do. In many instances the material needs to be removed out of the home. This can be done safely and effectively by our trained professionals. We have a team of professionals able to remove the toughest of messes and restore your home back to normal. In some instances building material needs to be removed and replaced, such as carpet, padding, subfloors and drywall. Most times these types of accidents could be covered under homeowners insurance and our sister company “Bio Clean of Utah” would work directly with them after you call us. We hope that you may never need to call us for such a cleanup, but things happen and when they do it is best to leave it to those who can do it correctly.

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.

I had a interesting call recently. A customer called, we had done her carpet cleaning in Salt Lake City. The problem was that she also wanted the protectant. She usually has the protectant applied when she gets her carpets cleaned. She was not at home for this carpet cleaning, her husband was and she had not given him any specific instructions about protectant. He said no to the having the protectant applied, because of the added cost. Well as lack of luck would have it: they had two spills on the carpet within four days. One of the spills was from red wine and would not come entirely with the Chem-Dry spot remover, leaving a pink stain in the carpet. Carpet protectants help to protect against stains and also help more dry soils to vacuum up.
She was sad and disappointed of course. We were happy to help the best we could. We offered to come back and do the spot cleaning for free, and apply the protectant for the same price we offered at the time of the original cleaning. the was one lesson to be learned though. The spot cleaning did not remove all of the pink stain from the wine. Fortunately, our red stain removal process was able to get the red dyes out, and this this case did not leave a trace of pink. This is a slow and tedious procedure at an additional charge, but is usually successful with the red dyes from food and drinks. So, the next time we’re doing your carpet cleaning in Salt Lake City don’t forget the protectant.

Provides warmth and comfort
Carpet provides actual thermal resistance, or R-value. In colder climates or seasons, it retains warm air longer, an energy conservation benefit. Carpet also provides a comfortable place to sit, play or work and gives a room an overall warmer feeling.
Adds beauty and style
You can choose from many thousands of carpet styles and colors. That means your ultimate choice will reflect how you want to personalize your living space. Carpet can be a neutral foundation, or it can be a focal point with vibrant colors and stronger bolder patterns and textures.
Softens slips and falls
Carpet is ideal for cushioning our footsteps, reducing slips and falls and minimizing injuries when falls do occur. Carpet provides safety protection for the whole family, but especially for toddlers and older individuals.
Reduces noise
Big screen TVs, speaker phones, computers and modern sound systems make our homes noisy places. Carpet helps absorb these sounds. Adding a cushion pad beneath your carpet reduces noise even further. Carpet also works as a sound barrier between floors by helping to block sound transmission to rooms below. And carpet on stairs helps mask the sound of constant foot traffic.
Wears well
Carpet will maintain its life and beauty for many years when properly cleaned and maintained. Learn to keep your carpet looking great over time by following these simple steps:
- Preventative Maintenance— Protect your investment before problems occur.
- Vacuuming— Keep carpet clean through regular vacuuming, the single most effective way to keep carpets clean.
- Professional Cleaning— Have carpets cleaned professionally by your Utah carpet cleaning experts; a periodic must.
- Spot and Stain Removal — Remember to use CRI Seal of Approval products.
