7 Carpet Cleaning Tips For Pet Owners

One of the queries that a professional carpet cleaner will most often be sent relates to dealing with pets and pet stains on a carpet. Whilst every pet owner knows that their little (or big) furry friend is loved dearly by all the family, on the flip side, it is no secret that pets can be messy from when they are young pups or kittens all the way through their adulthood.

This leads us to the aforementioned carpet cleaning queries that professional carpet cleaning companies receive from their clients, who are often at a loss to know how they can deal with accidents or the general cleaning of their carpets which are looking grubby due to their pets.

If you are a pet owner, and that type of carpet cleaning query is one which you might have, then the good news is that there is no reason why your carpets cannot be as clean as you wish them to be, even if you have one or more pets at home. This can be achieved by following the carpet cleaning tips for pet owners that follow, many of which are the same tips professional carpet cleaners give to their pet-owning customers.

5 Things to Consider Before Installing a Swimming Pool

When you start looking at swimming pool builders to construct a new swimming pool in your backyard, you probably have one thing on your mind: how much fun you’re going to have.

Swimming can be a fun pastime, an ideal exercise, and a relaxing activity. However, before you start looking at your installation options, here are a few things you might like to consider first.

How You Will Use a Swimming Pool

First and foremost, decide how you will use your swimming pool. Surprisingly, this can play a considerable part in determining which collection you purchase and how you landscape it into your overall property design.

You might be a keen athlete who needs a lap pool to keep fit, or you might be more interested in one you can enjoy with the kids. Some people want a collection to relax in, which can also dictate the type of pool you purchase.

Once you’ve identified your needs, you can look at different pool shapes, sizes, and styles that align with your preferences.

Who You Will Hire to Install It

If there’s one thing you don’t want to cut corners with or get wrong, it’s the installation of swimming pools. They hold thousands of litres of water, and their strength and quality are necessary to keep that water contained.

As a result, you should put time and effort into choosing a pool builder or landscaper you can trust. Someone with experience installing pools can be necessary for your peace of mind and a job well done.

5 Benefits of Hiring Commercial Cleaning Professionals

There are some who think commercial cleaning is just a case of hiring the first, or cheapest, cleaning company that comes along, and who then wonder why their business premises, including their offices, look no cleaner from one day to the next.

One of the reasons for that is those that offer a minimum service for the lowest price will give you exactly what you paid for, which is the minimum they can get away with. Alternatively, a truly professional cleaning company, like Commercial Cleaning Perth, will approach and implement commercial cleaning contracts, with a view to providing the absolute best possible service they can.

As well as the overall service that they provide, a professional cleaning company can also offer you and your business many additional benefits that flow from that service. Here are five of those benefits…

A Bespoke Commercial Cleaning Regime

No two businesses and no two business premises are the same, therefore offering a generic cleaning service will not suit every business. That is why a professional cleaning company will first discuss your cleaning needs and then propose a cleaning regime that matches them.

That way everything that you want to be done is part of the plan, and you can be confident that you are only paying for the services that you want and need.

Renovating Your Swimming Pool

If you have an old pool that’s seen better days, it could be time to start thinking about pool renovations. These aren’t always easy, but they are certainly more cost-effective than installing a brand new pool, especially if the main part of the pool is still there.

For us, it’s always best to speak with a professional pool builder and an experienced pool fencing installer to ensure you’re getting things right from the beginning. However, there’s no harm in thinking about things yourself ahead of time, which is why we’ve put together the following list of tips for renovating your pool.

  1. Use a Natural Pool System

Traditionally, residential swimming pools have used chlorine to disinfect them and keep them clean. However, chlorine is a toxic chemical with known health effects, so it’s a good idea to avoid it where possible.

Because of this, natural pool systems using plants and/or salt water have dramatically increased in popularity over the past few years. Alongside being more eco and health-friendly, these systems tend to be more affordable to maintain as well!

  1. Go for Energy Efficient Lighting and Equipment

Things like pool fencing, lighting and equipment are constantly being improved. It’s worth having a close look at the technology that’s currently available to ensure you’re using the best available.

Ideally, you should be going for gear that’s energy efficient. At the same time, you should think about installing a solar pool heater to cut heating costs, especially if you live in a warmer part of Australia.

Designing your New Yard

Landscapers who specialise in landscape design is becoming an extremely popular business. High quality landscape architects are becoming more and more sought after. If you are trying to design a new yard for your home, then you need to think about a lot of things, including what you are going to include, what your yard is going to be used for, and who is going to use it.

If possible, you should try and make your yard as environmentally friendly as possible. While your landscaper may be happy to help you do this, it is important to have your own opinions as well. Consider the following sustainability issues when you are designing your new yard and garden.

  1. Water use:

With drying climates and water shortages increasing throughout Australia, water use is an extremely important sustainability issue that must be considered when designing a new yard. There are a number of design features that you can implement to make your property more sustainable by reducing your water usage, including:

  • Implement some sort of water collection and storage system. The most common of these is obviously rainwater collection from roofs. This water can then be used to look after your garden.
  • Reduce sprinkler usage. Where you have to use sprinklers, make sure that they aren’t spraying water on the road or in other places where the water is being wasted.
  • Grow drought tolerant plants. Doing this will help make sure that you don’t have to water as often in summer, and that you will therefore save water.

2.Compatibility with native animals:

Unfortunately, the amount of habitat available for native animals is decreasing all the time. This is due to a number of factors, including things like land clearing and urban sprawl. If you want your garden to be truly sustainable, you should do whatever you can to make it a safe haven for native animals. Plant native plants, provide plenty of cover for them, and provide places for them to shelter or nest.

Lawn and Garden Maintenance

On August 21st, 2017, there was a total eclipse, best viewed in the central USA. You wouldn’t want to be in that sort of darkness for long. The sun is the best friend of your garden and lawn, and regular watering with added sunshine keeps plants and turf healthy. There is an art to watering as well. Keep the root system from growing to the surface by deep watering at least once a week. Give your turf 25mm of water each week in a mild climate and do that once every three days in a hot climate. You’re in Western Australia – water restrictions apply.

The tip: place a container that is 25mm deep in the middle of your lawn, and when it’s full, stop watering. If you have a controlled sprinkler system, then program the controller as required. Your soil plays a big part in the program as well. Soil that can absorb and store water is ideal.
