The people of Anchorage, Alaska are a hearty bunch. From
fishermen to oil industry workers, and all vocations between, the people
of Anchorage are always on the move in the interest of progression;
this all in a relatively inhospitable land where many dare not even
venture.
In such a rough land, and with all of the progressive spirit of
Alaskans getting it done in Anchorage, building wear, dirt on floors,
and all other signs of hard work are all too familiar intruders in the
typical Alaskan home or business. Specifically, carpets in Anchorage can take on some serious dirt and wear. As with any other soiling
or wear in rough-and-tumble Anchorage, Alaskans always find a way to
fix up and clean up. Subsequently, carpet cleaning is no foreign process
to the people of Anchorage.
There are many different methods of carpet cleaning employed here.
Some choose to try tackling carpet soiling and stains by themselves.
Others are more inclined to immediately contact a local carpet cleaning
professional, of which the area has plenty. Either way, methods vary.
In one instance, John, of the Rogers Park section, pours a glass of
wine after a long day. As he sets the bottle down, the family dog comes
barreling through and knocks into him, jarring the bottle from his hold
and spilling it all over the white living room carpet, and we all know dogs are popular in Alaska. The
do-it-yourselfer in John employs him to immediately get to work treating
the stain himself.
In this example, there are a few methods of approach. Immediately,
the wine should be blotted and absorbed from the carpet as much as
possible, as “setting in” makes the stain more difficult to remove.
After blotting up all possible fluid, there are treatments that can be
added to the stain. Often, do-it-yourselfers use hydrogen peroxide,
baking soda, dish soap, club soda, or even white wine. Once added, there
is typically a soaking-in process that allows the additive to soak into
and hopefully release the stain from the carpet fibers. Usually this
must be scrubbed into the carpet, followed by rinsing, drying, and
repeating.
Sometimes these home methods work. Unfortunately, often times they
do not. This is where hiring a professional is a good choice. Many home
owners and renters insurances participate in cost coverage for
professional services, and the industry’s typical prices are not at all
unaffordable for most Alaskans.
In addition, the very best in
specialized carpet cleaning equipment and knowledge will be applied to
the carpet in question. This is as opposed to buckets, sponges, brushes,
time expenditure, and the very possible eventual frustration at the
fact that all of this effort still did not completely remove the stain.
Although the people of Anchorage are savvy do-it-yourselfers, they too
know when it’s smarter and more efficient to call in professional
service.
