Summertime Tips

When frustration and heat get the best of you, call SERVPRO for help!!

Get carpets, upholstery, and curtains or draperies professionally cleaned, or look for DIY options. Rent a steam cleaner or invest in your own -- there are a variety of affordable steamer/vacuum combos that you can use again and again. If you have pets, choose a steamer with a special setting for pet hair and stains.

Don’t forget your bed – mattresses, pillows, and comforters could also use a good refresh. Have pets? Invest in new pet beds or wash removable covers then put them outside in the sun to freshen up. This is also a good time to go through your linen closet and replace worn out towels and bedding. Finally, if your throw pillows are a little stale, put them in the dryer with some tennis balls and tumble to get rid of dust, then put them outside to air out.

When all of this doesn't work for your time or favor, call the Pros at SERVPRO of Winston-Salem North!

We are certified in cleaning!

We recently got called to a job where someone had just purchased a home they loved. However, the previous homeowners smoked inside for a while. The home was covered in nicotine from top to bottom. The walls that were painted white looked yellow. The realtor reached out to us and our crew went in to give the home a deep cleaning.

Our crew made the home look brand new. They ripped the carpet and the carpet pad up to eliminate the smell. After everything was out of the home they began wiping down the ceilings and walls. They had it looking and smelling great. The new homeowner was so pleased with our crew and stated that they were doing an excellent job. She was so thankful SERVPRO of Winston Salem North was able to help her out so much.

So the next time you are in a bind, needing help and do not know which way to turn, reach out to SERVPRO of Winston Salem North. No matter what it is we can help!

3 Common Stains you should know how to clean.

Have you Heard about our Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned Program? Call us Today 336 744 5104

When we’re talking stain removal TIME is of the essence. The sooner the spill and stain is cleaned up, the better the results. Learn to tackle these hard stains in 3 easy steps. 

• Red Wine Stain.
  We’ve all been there! Red Wine is notorious for staining carpets and fabrics, but if cleaned up quickly, you should have minimal fuss to deal with. 

Step 1. Blot Gently and remove excess wine

*DO NOT SPRINKLE WITH SUGAR OR SALT* - A common “old wives tale” tells you to use salt to soak up the wine, all this does is make a crusty mess and let the wine soak into the carpet. 

Step 2. Use Club Soda to lift more of the wine out of the fabric

Step 3. Blot Gently and Repeat until the stain is gone.

• Tomato Based stain
  Who hasn’t spilled a plate of spaghetti and meatballs? Tomatoes are delicious, but their stains can set and dull carpet quickly.  Make sure to take your time while blotting, you wouldn’t want to press the stain further into the carpet and reach the pad underneath. 

Step 1. Gently Blot the spill, making sure to get all pieces of the meal up. 

Step 2. Spray ethanol alcohol onto the stain.

Step 3. Gently Blot and Repeat until stain is gone.

• Acrylic/Water Based Paint Spill
  Arts and Crafts get a little out of hand? First time crafters are advised to stick to Acrylic and Water based paints, because they are much easier to clean than oil and grease paints. 

Step 1. Gently Blot up excess paint

Step 2. Spray Laundry detergent mixture (8 parts water to 1 part detergent)

Step 3. Flush with cool tap water and blot  until spill/stain is gone. Repeat as many times is necessary.

There really isn’t a quick fix to most spills and stains. Patience and Practice are what is the key to removing and cleaning up.
