Spring is right around the corner, making this the perfect time to clean those dirty carpets that have gathered dust and grime since winter.

We all know the 5-second rule. It is a way to justify not wasting food that falls onto the floor; supposedly, if you pick it up within 5 seconds of it touching the ground, there isn't enough time for bacteria to latch onto the food. An interesting follow up question is do different types of flooring affect this "rule"?

We are finally moving into the fall and winter seasons. For most of San Diego that doesn't mean much. Maybe temperatures will drop about 10 degrees on average, but for the most part life will move on as it has before. Instead of shorts and tank tops, it will now move to shorts and light sweaters. However, those of us who have been in San Diego for several years or longer know that this is the time of year when the rain comes. Weather patterns have always been a little strange in San Diego, and although it doesn't rain often, many of us know that when it rains it pours. Overall, the city of San Diego was not build to handle large amounts of weather, and frequently experiences large amounts of flooding when it rains. This can raise the chance of your home experiencing water damage during the event of a storm. In this post we provide useful tips to reduce panic and take the proper steps to bounce back from water damage in your carpets.

Well, it's that time of year again. The heat of late summer in San Diego is now turning into mid 60s long sleeve and shorts weather.

While it is always a good time to get your carpets professionally cleaned, there are also good times to get your carpet replaced, or to get new carpets installed.

In order to maximize the longevity of your carpet's lifespan, it is important to get your carpets cleaned on a regular basis. Over the course of time, dirt, debris, hair, and more can get stuck and buried deep down in the fibers of your carpet. This can cause not only discoloration, but can cause your carpet to become a breeding ground for bacteria. Even if you take the necessary precautions to prevent outside dirt and grime from coming in your home, carpets can still gather dust and bacteria from inside. For this reason, it is important to have your carpets professionally cleaned on a regular basis. But one might ask, "how often should I get my carpets cleaned?" Here at Clean Earth Restorations, we're here to give you the information you need to increase the longevity of your carpet's lifespan, and to help keep your home clean and healthy.

Owning pets can be an amazing experience. They can bring warmth and personality into your heart and home, and can quickly become your new best friend.

Additionally, there are some messes that cannot be planned for, like if your pet is feeling sick. All these factors can make things difficult to keep a carpet clean when you have pets in the house. To ensure the longevity of your carpet, and the health of all members of the household (humans and animals alike) it is important to know how often to have your carpets cleaned.
