Cleaning in Your HOME with Extraction	Winter, 2003

Carpet Cleaning Is Really "Air" Cleaning

Season's Greetings To You!

H appy Holidays and Our Very Best wishes to you for a prosperous and peaceful new year!

Each year we give a seasonal gift calendar (enclosed with this mailing) that we've found to be the most used in offices we've cleaned. We thought your desk at home is a great place for them too. This year we're announcing a newer style choice, and if you prefer to receive it, PLEASE CALL US to make the change. Indicate which you would prefer:

__ Norman Rockwell OR __ Faith Messages (Scripture) Wall Calendar. Some are available now if anyone would like one for 2004.

in 1994 in North Carolina by a public school. The pictures are before(left) and after(right) extraction and were taken with an electron microscope for a special test case.

Fibers of our carpets do attract soil that we cannot see. We must realize air quality is impacted when carpets get dirty. Execute a plan to keep yours clean. It is really our health at stake. You'll breath easier when your carpets are clean!

We're here for that purpose, and we thank you again for allowing us that privilege.

1.	Frequently vacuum them, using a power brush vacuum. (Unfortunately, beater bars seem to be disappearing from modern vacuum cleaners, but if you have an old one that still does this, that is the one to use!)

2.	Limit the amount of water/ spotting agents used to spot clean them. Blot well and use a dryer to speed wicking so all the spot comes to the surface while you are spotting.

3.	Clean a Berber Carpet at least twice as often as you would a plush cut, flat surface carpet.

4.	When purchasing, consider the value of variation in color and patterns in sculpturing to minimize soiling and wear appearances later on in the carpet's life. See the Carpet-Rug Institute's Photographic suggestions (bottom of the left side drop down menu) at www.carpet-rug.org . All have a pattern incorporated!

5.	Call if you have a unique question, and we'll be glad to offer our suggestions.

Wood Floor RESTORE

A new service is available to all our customers who have urethane hardwood floor which needs restoration. Your floor can look nearly new with this service we offer. Surface scuffs and shallow scratches are buffed and resealed. Larger scratches and/or gouges will require sanding. Call us if you'd like more information or a quote on this service, OR just mention it when you have us in your home to clean again.

We thank you for allowing us to clean. It is to us a fulfillment, because we truly do "love to clean!".

Gratefully Yours,

C. Pat Lanyon	Christine, David & Joseph
