Pet stains? UV light....
Have a pet at home?, most of us do. Orlando carpet cleaning specializes in proper pet odor removal. Though if you have a pet emergency you can always bring out a black light or UV light. You will be able to identify the area wear the accident has happened and clean it to your best potential. Just darken the room, bring out your UV flashlight and begin searching. You will notice these area will have a certain "glow" to them when the room is dark enough and you have passed over a pet accident. Clean this area as thorough as possible. If the smell still persists then the likelihood that the urine has gotten into the padding and the sub floor is rather great. This would be a good time to call Like New Carpet Care to let a professional handle the situation. Good Luck!

Tile cleaning
We here at Orlando Carpet Cleaning get a lot of questions on how to maintain there newly cleaned tile and grout. Here are some standard procedures that should be done at least two times a month to maintain those beautiful looking new grout lines and keep that nasty build up off your tile. First things first, sweeping your tile floor should be done at least once a week along side when you are vacuuming your carpet. Make sure to get a thorough sweep before doing any type of "wet" cleaning to the floor. Get out that vacuum attachment that hasn't moved from its storage compartment on the vac cleaner itself (i kid i kid) and get alongside the baseboards and underneath the cabinets. Now that the floors have all the lose soil picked up its time to get to cleaning.
1. mix hot water and vinegar in equal parts
2. get another bucket of just HOT water ready
3. dip your mop in the water/vinegar mix and use side to side strokes
4. use up and down stokes for the grout lines
5. rinse the floor with the HOT water only bucket
6. make sure there is no standing water left, if so mop these areas up
7. apply fans for faster drying
Follow these procedures 1-2 times a month and you will keep that newly cleaned tile, cleaner, much much longer.

Is it time to get it done professionally?
Some may gauge the time to do a professional carpet cleaning is to when it "looks" dirty. This is also how some determine when to vacuum as well. This idea is ridiculous and should be thrown out the window. The sand, dirt, and oils from your shoes and feet destroy the carpet daily. Dirt is an abrasive like sandpaper. Every time you step on the carpet, you grind dirt into your carpet fibers which damages the carpet fibers causing it to wear out faster. The longer you wait to have your carpet professionally cleaned, the more irreversible damage you can do the the carpet.
Orlando Carpet Cleaning does more than just get rid of the dirt. It restores life back into the carpet, and can also protect the carpet from future damaging. Outdoor air contains pollen's fungus, bacteria, air pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust and hundreds of other chemicals. These containment's are transferred to your home and into your carpet, having a negative impact on your carpet and your family. In addition to getting rid of dirt, it is important to clean your carpet to get rid of the aforementioned containment's .

Cleaning Artistry
Not everyone is fit for cleaning. Orlando carpet cleaning is an art in many ways. First off, if being a carpet cleaner is not something you enjoy, or like to wake up to every morning you will not be a good artist. Pulling hoses in and out of homes 3-4 times daily would sound ridiculous to some. Moving furniture, dealing with unruly customers and dogs that may bite, seems to be an industry that most wouldn't wish on there worst enemy. Though many choose this industry to work for, they cannot be considered artists.
To be an artist at Orlando carpet cleaning you must love to transform ugly, pet stained carpets into master peaces. The site of a dirty grout line excites you, knowing you can make it look like a beautiful oasis again where the home owner can enjoy a meal with out feeling dirty. You have to want to get on your hands and knees and do what ever you can to get out the nasty gum that has been stuck in the carpet for years. Enjoying all the situations that are frowned upon by some cleaners is what makes me an artist.
