Have a Stain Free School Year by Adding Protectant to your Carpet
The autumn season is fast approaching, and that means the kids are back in school and your house is most likely struggling from the bacteria's that have been left behind from an adventurous summer. What better time for carpet cleaning than the months of August and September? Commence the school year off on the right foot by cleaning your carpets with Advantage Chem-Dry. While the kids are in school just give Advantage Chem-dry a call for a quick powerful carpet cleaning that just takes 1-2 hours to dry off.
Boost the health and state of mind of your family by granting Advantage Chem-Dry to place a carpet protectant in your home. We recognize that mishaps happen, especially with new school year routines, so be ready to fight back against the damages in your household by using protectant on your carpet. Protectant is a product we offer that will become an invisible screen to defend and protect your carpet from spots. Protectant gives you more time to wash spills before they transform into nasty stains.
There is generally some forms of protectant on newly added carpet but as time passes that protectant wears off. We understand that it’s a challenge to clean and add protectant to your carpet, but if you know that you are overdue for a carpet cleaning and would also like to add protectant, Advantage Chem-Dry are the carpet cleaners for you. Plan for the long term and give your home a vibrant new feel with carpet cleaning and protectant application. Ensure your carpets are defended by incorporating protectant this school year! Put your feet up and breathe easy, knowing that Advantage Chem-Dry technicians are skilled and licensed to prolong the life of your carpet!

Keep Your Carpets Looking New!
May is coming to a close and you know what THAT means: Kids are out of school and back into the house. Of course, we all love our kids, but not always the dirt and mud they track in. The more traffic your carpets get, the more they need to get professionally cleaned.
To reduce the frequency your carpets need to be cleaned, we offer a product called the Chem-Dry Protectant. Applying this to your carpets will give them stain-fighting protection, helping your carpets look and feel newer, longer.
But even for those tough-to-remove stains, Chem-Dry’s proprietary carpet cleaning solution is able to penetrate the carpet fibers deeper than the competitors, leaving carpets clean and dry in only 1-2 hours, not 1-2 days!

How Disgusting is your Carpet?
The average carpet can contain 8 times its weight in dust, dirt and other unwanted particles and contains hundreds of times more bacteria per square inch than a toilet seat. And that’s just the average! This test will help you figure out how nasty your carpet actually is – and even though you might not want to know, think about how often your kids crawl on your carpet and how this knowledge could help you prevent exposing your family to harmful chemicals, bacteria and allergens.

Spring Cleaning
Spring is in the air! As it starts to heat up, many feel the need to do a little bit of “spring cleaning.” Although nobody really wants to spend their time cleaning and organizing, it gives a nice sense of accomplishment once everything is in the proper place. Like the old saying goes, “Out with the old, in with the new.” Especially in this case, spring is a good time of year to not only get rid of unnecessary “things” but also to enjoy time with family in nicer weather.
But with warmer temperatures also comes an increase in allergens. Chem-Dry recently conducted a national study showing that Chem-Dry removes 98% of allergens from carpets and upholstery! The second part of the study proved that Chem-Dry also removes 89% of airborne bacteria, improving indoor air quality. These tests are yet another proof that choosing Advantage Chem-Dry leads to a healthier home!

Post Valentine's Cleanup
Valentine’s Day is not a widely loved holiday across the board (ironic, right?). Those that love it, though, love it. And, likewise, those that hate it, hate it. We’re not here to play favorites because everyone is entitled to their own opinion. However, whether your carpets are covered with chocolate stains and candle wax, or pizza and ice cream stains, there is still a mess to be cleaned!
Not to toot our own horn, but we’re pretty good at spot & stain removal. It’s true that some stains can be removed fairly easily without the need to call in a professional carpet cleaner. However, for those stubborn stains that won’t come out, even after tireless scrubbing efforts, it’s time to call in the pros. From lipstick and fingernail polish to red soda and markers, we’re confident in our ability to remove even the toughest stains.
Call us today for specialty stain removal in Harrisburg!
January 12, 2015
January is always an interesting month. Most don’t like it because it’s colder or grayer than other months. Others don’t prefer it because it’s in the dead winter and it sometimes seems to drag on forever. However, with every gray cloud, during this cold period, is a silver lining.
January is a great time to get things done, and not just with carpet cleaning. The holiday madness has ended and we have a few free weeks before the craziness known as “Valentine’s Day” ensues. It may be a little bit chillier this time of year, but that means more time to re-organize the home and recover from damages that the last holidays made.
Although this may be a dreaded task, you’re not alone in the cleanup process. At Advantage Chem-Dry, we’re more than happy to restore your home to its previous glory. We offer a carpet cleaning service that cleans deeper and dries quicker than many of the carpet cleaners in Harrisburg. We also offer upholstery cleaning and Pet Urine Removal Treatment (for the little puppy that Santa brought).
Call us today to help you get your home back in order!
