Meet Our Textile Specialists: Steven DeMarco II

At Triple S Carpet & Drapery Cleaners, our team of textile specialists are what make our business great. Our family owned and operated business is proud to say that 35% of our employees have been with us for over 20 years and 70% have been with us for over 10. It is this impressive tenure that has allowed our employees to become the best at what they do!

To show our appreciation and thank them for their dedication to our trade, we're putting them in the spotlight! This month, we're introducing Steven DeMarco II, our expert in handmade oriental rugs.

Steven DeMarco II

Steven began working for the family business when he was just 12 years old! "That first summer, I worked as a carpenter’s helper (it was more like a 'go get me this boy' job) with Jim Ferishoni," says Steven. "By the end of the summer, I could really swing the hammer. That was an important summer, many of the things I learned have stayed with me today. I still have Jimmy’s Hammer. He was like a grandfather to me."

In August of 1988, after Steven graduated college, he began working full time as a cleaning technician - cleaning in customers' homes and businesses and learning many other aspects of the company.

At just 24 years old, in November of 1992, Steven took on the role of Rug Plant Manager. Since then he has earned several certifications from the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration. He is also a Certified Rug Specialist from the Association of Rug Care Specialists and currently serves on the Board of Directors.

Steven says his favorite part of the job is being able to work with family!

Steven's Expert Cleaning Tip
If your rug is movable, have it cleaned in-plant. Everyday soil, occasional spills, dust, unhealthy allergens and even insect larvae can penetrate deep into rug fibers. Only will custom in-plant cleaning can we clean throughout the carpet and not just its surface.

Triple S Carpet & Drapery Cleaners is located in Connecticut with three main plant locations:

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Winter Maintenance for Your Rug

With the winter season comes a lot of home maintenance needs. Doors and windows are sealed tight, keeping unwanted dust and allergens trapped inside, and furnaces are running at full capacity - sucking up our energy use and blowing those dust particles back through the home.

To keep one cleaning requirement under control, we're sharing a few important tips for keeping your carpets and rugs maintained this time of year:

Vacuum Regularly: As explained in a previous blog, vacuuming regularly is the most effective way to maintain indoor air quality and maintain your carpets and rugs.

Rotate Your Rugs: Rotating your rugs every month or so is a good idea when it comes to maintaining the consistent quality of your rug. Uneven exposure to sunlight and airflow can give your carpet uneven wear and tear or fade.

Try Carpet Protectant Applicants: Vacuuming can be made even more effective, especially for wool, by applying products recommended by your local carpet cleaner beforehand.

Vow to Vacuum

Do you vow to vacuum a little more this year? Though a sometimes tedious chore and often left for your weekly routine, the experts at Triple S suggest you do so daily. Here's a few reasons why:

• Your furnishings hold on to dust and contaminants that were previously airborne
• Frequent vacuuming keeps your textiles clean and improves your indoor air quality
• Dry soil removal will extend the life of your furnishings and is good for your health

A beating and brushing action on rugs and carpets will give the best results, as it's good for loosening the gritty fiber and damaging soil. Using a broom, on the other hand, is not advised. Vacuums with Hepa filters or central vacuums are best for regular cleaning and always keep in mind that most vacuums come equipped with attachments for cleaning draperies, tapestries and upholstered furnishing. 

Need a deep clean that your personal vacuum alone can't do? Call the textile specialists at Triple S! We have three main plant locations: 

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Stratford Plant | 1800 Stratford Avenue
