One of the most effective way of cleaning carpets is spot cleaning. This involves the use of baking soda, vinegar and rubbing alcohol. Make a mixture of the three ingredients and apply to stained area in a circular motion. This is best applied when only small areas of your carpet are stained.

Steam cleaning or hot-water extraction is another good way to clean carpets. A hot water extraction unit is used to force very hot water under high pressure into the carpet. When hot water is extracted, dirt is absorbed, thus, cleaning the carpet. If any of your family members have allergies,this type of carpet cleaning is very effective in removing allergens. Since steam is not a health hazard, it is a great way to remove dirt and stains. Steam cleaning is proven and effective to remove dust mites, fungi and bacteria.

It is also very practical if you hire professional steam cleaners. They employ the same principle as the one described above. The only difference of steam cleaning by professionals is that they use higher powered extraction equipment. Professional cleaning companies have the capability to clean any type of carpet.

Cleaning Up After Pets ? Being a Good Pet Owner and Respecting Other Humans

A few years back, I remember hearing the story of a mayor in Paris who actually had his policemen start writing tickets for people that were not cleaning up after their pets. Right there in the sidewalks of Paris, things were getting out of hand. The problem had become so horrible that people just could not walk down the sidewalk without trying to dodge ‘land mines’.

I have had a similar experience in my own neighborhood. I like to walk, particularly in the morning. I faced the same ‘land mine’ situation on a certain stretch of sidewalk. This raised my anger. If a someone is really not going to clean up after her pet, why can’t she at least have the pet go somewhere other than the middle of the sidewalk?

Aside from the fact that the owner was not being respectful to her fellow humans, it is disgusting to walk down the sidewalk and suddenly realize that you have to watch where you step. The disgusting part is that this is organic waste that I have to avoid from another living creature. These animals could very well have parasites or other nasty things in their stool. This makes stepping in it a health hazard!

Sure, you can scrape the bottom of your shoe off before going back inside, but in all honesty how likely are you to get it all off – right down to the smallest particles that you might not even see? Some parasite eggs could end up on your carpet. Do you have a child that likes to put things in his mouth after crawling around the floor? How many little particles, no matter how small end up in your bed?

All right, I think the point has been made. On another note about animals, both cats and dogs have another problem that is very common to their human friends. That problem is gum disease. So many animals have it and so many humans do too! Do not forget to get your pet checked for gingivitis. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss in humans and probably is in pets too!
