Evolution of Carpet Cleaning & Repair

From area rugs to wall to wall carpet and back again, find out how carpet cleaning and repair has changed over the years:

Early 1950s- Area rugs were in popular demand and the wealthy would swap those rugs out seasonally. As such, cleaning facilities had to be large enough to store these rugs regardless of the season.

Late 1950s - Wall-to-wall became popular as area rugs started fading out, but since portable equipment for cleaning rugs wasn’t developed yet - cleaners had to rip up carpet and bring it in for cleaning. The downside? This created problems with shrinkage when trying to reinstall the carpet. The solution? Equipment was developed to clean wall-to-wall in place.

1970s - Carpet fibers made a change for the better. Olefin, a synthetic fiber, replaced nylon. Then polyester came into the picture, which could be dyed in various colors. Carpet fiber makers began to warranty the product instead of the carpet mills.

1980s - With mold becoming a major health concern, it lead popularity back to hardwood floors. Consequently, area rugs became common in homes again.

How to Make Your Tile, Grout & Natural Stone Last

Tile and stone are beautiful works of art and should be treated that way! With proper cleaning and sealing they will look lovelier, last longer and be easier to maintain. Professional cleaning with specialty equipment can provide worry-free care and lasting beauty.

The condition of the grout - the cement lines in between tiles or stone - is the major factor affecting the overall appearance of your floor. If you take a close look, you might see discolorations in your grout. Sometimes white grout will have yellowed or turned black in areas showing extreme soil conditions.

What services do you need to keep the appearance of your grout and tile in tact? Call a professional like Triple S for the following:

Cleaning only. Have your tiles cleaned up nicely and a clear sealer applied to grout. Sealer is not usually applied by the tile setter because the grout should be cured for 7 to 10 days before applying sealer. The sealer penetrates the grout, making it less porous and more resistant to future staining.

Color sealing.You can have your grout sealed with a color of choice. Choosing the same or a similar color will cover up and hide discolorations. You can choose a different, or perhaps darker, color to hide soil or give the tile a different look. Overall, sealer makes your grout look like new and makes it much easier to maintain.

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Spring Cleaning Chores for the Pros

The first official day of spring is just two short weeks away and we know that means everyone is beginning to think-up and draft a list of their must do spring cleaning chores.

Whether you use cleaning as your therapy or are just hoping to quickly check it all off, there are a few main chores you shouldn't be doing because you're better off calling in a professional to do so.

Washing Windows. Without the help of a professional, washing windows quickly turns into a multi-day project. For just one bundled cost, a professional window washer will typically clean the inside and outside of the windows, the screens, the sills and maybe even protect nearby floors and furnishings at no extra cost.

Restoring Hardwood Floors. Professional cleaning can give your hardwood floors a clean deeper and fresher than you, as a homeowner, can achieve with a mop. A commercial-strength clean and polish can typically be applied to up to 500 square feet of your flooring in under an hour.

Carpet Cleaning. That's where we come in! In-home carpet cleaning is not all that easy to do, making it a good spring cleaning task to hand over to a professional. At Triple S, our machinery and cleaners can tackle dirt and build-up throughout the entire depth of carpet fibers - not just on the surface. Completing these services at least once or twice a year extends the lifetime of your rugs and carpets and improves the overall indoor air quality of your home.

Once carpet cleaning becomes the next item on your spring cleaning chore list, give the textile specialists at Triple S a call. We have three main plant locations:

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Stratford Plant | 1800 Stratford Avenue

The Cause of Static in Your Rug or Carpet

Have you ever brushed your foot across your rug or carpet and experienced a snap or shock you weren't expecting? This static in your textiles is caused by the friction between your socks or shoes and the carpet and is made possible by the dry and cold conditions a Northeast winter can cause.

Connecticut and the surrounding states have certainly experienced quite the opposite of a mild winter this year. As a result, humidity has been extremely low making way for such static conditions.

While static charge will vary with different carpet types, overall, it is more likely to occur in harsh weather conditions like these. Electrons create a negative static charge when you touch something (such as your carpet). The electrons then transfer to your socks or shoes generating the small electric shock you experience. This can be specifically troublesome in office spaces with computers.

Some carpets have antistatic agents built into the fiber, but you can also purchase antistatic products to spray on others. The best solution, however, is to add humidity to your home or office with the help of a humidifier. Moisture in the air can carry off a static charge as it is formed.

We know that static isn't the only concern when it comes to your rug or carpet. For information on carpet cleaning services, spot removal and more, visit our website.

How to Maintain a Brand New Carpet

A new carpet installation is many things. An exciting and fresh look in your home, for one. To maintain this carpet through various seasons, years, holiday parties and other activities, you'll want to establish a plan of action for your carpet care.

Here's a basic guideline.

Know what kind of action you'll want to take before spills and similar accidents occur. Spot cleaning techniques are effective if performed in a timely manner. Therefore, educating yourself at the time of installation is ideal so you don't have to worry about doing your research when an accident has already happened. Spot removal tips can be found on our website »

Vacuum regularly. For many homeowners, regularly means about once or twice or week. The truth, however, is that you should really vacuum daily. Find a few reasons why in a previous blog post.

You'll want to have your carpets professionally cleaned every year to every year and a half. While regular home maintenance is effective and should be done, you can only achieve a deep clean with professional equipment. Learn more about our on-site services here »

Remember, always treat stains as soon as they occur for a longer-lasting and beautiful carpet!

Rug Cleaning: What to Do When Your Washing Machine Overflows

Are you prepared for a random disaster such as the unfortunate event of your washing machine overflowing? Most homeowners aren't. We don't assume accidents like this are going to happen, however, if it does our favorite rugs and other items that are nearby can be at risk of damage if we don't know how to care for them.

Here's a few main points to keep in mind in case this happens to you:

If the water that overflowed only came from the rinse cycle - you're in luck! A simple vacuuming of the rug should do the trick.

Wool is an extremely resilient material. So if the rug that got wet is wool you're also in luck. Mud along the edge will probably eventually pop off. If it doesn't, you can spot treat it the way you would any other rug. We have spot removal tips on our website »

If the water that spilled over is soapy, on the other hand, you are going to want to treat it with professional services. At Triple S we can clean your oriental rugs & area rugs in house. This allows us to clean both sides and deeply penetrate the fibers for a complete clean.

Have a muddy carpet from a washing machine overflow or similar incident? Follow the directions above or bring your rug to one of our three main plant locations:

Stamford Plant | 400 West Main Street

Norwalk Plant | 337 Westport Avenue

Stratford Plant | 1800 Stratford 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.

Need further help maintaining your textiles through the winter? Call the 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
