What are Cat and Dog Enzyme Carpet Cleaners? Cleaning Dog Urine from Carpets

Cat and dog enzyme carpet cleaners are specially formulated products designed to remove and eliminate stains and odors caused by pet urine, feces, vomit, and other organic substances. These Cat and dog enzyme carpet cleaners work by utilizing enzymes that break down the organic compounds responsible for unpleasant smells and stains. We especially use them on a daily basis for cleaning dog urine from carpet and upholstery. Enzymes are biological molecules that act as catalysts, speeding up chemical reactions without being consumed themselves. In the case of enzyme cleaners, the enzymes used are typically derived from bacteria or fungi and are specifically selected for their ability to target and break down organic matter. When a pet accident occurs, the organic compounds in urine or feces, such as proteins and urea, can penetrate deep into porous surfaces like carpets, upholstery, or hardwood floors. Traditional cleaning methods may not effectively remove these compounds, leading to lingering odors and stains. Cat and dog enzyme carpet cleaners contain specific enzymes, such as proteases, amylases, and lipases, that target different organic substances. Proteases break down proteins, amylases break down carbohydrates, and lipases break down fats and oils. These enzymes work by breaking apart the chemical bonds in the organic compounds, effectively breaking them down into smaller, simpler molecules. To use an enzyme cleaner, you typically apply it directly to the affected area and allow it to soak for some time. The enzymes in the cleaner then start working, breaking down the organic matter and eliminating the source of the odor. After the recommended soaking time, you can blot or rinse the area to remove the cleaner along with the broken-down organic residue. It's important to note that enzyme cleaners require

Another Happy Customer @Pizza D’oh Restaurant – Upholstery Cleaning Blairgowrie

Recently we had the pleasure of meeting Andrew; the owner/restaurateur of pizza d’oh restaurant in Blairgowrie. The restaurant specialises in pastors, pizzas and a whole range of other delicious food. Their main aim is to produce quality food by using the freshest local produce that's available. They work with what produce is in season which also makes it quite exciting because the menu is ever-changing. Carpet cleaning Mornington Peninsula had the opportunity to work with them to bring their upholstery back to life. There was a total of 18 beautifully upholstered seats which needed to be cleaned and they came up amazing. Our upholstery cleaning service was perfect for Andrew and his restaurant. As the seats were extremely high quality so it was important to have them cleaned rather than replaced. After the drying process they will look brand-new again! It's important for businesses that are in the public eye to present well especially if you're in the food or restaurant game. Hygiene is of the utmost importance. As the seating hadn't been cleaned in a while it was exciting to see the colour difference. It's amazing how something can look so different after it's been professionally steam cleaned. We look forward to working with Andrew in the future and if anyone's looking for a great pizza or pastor on the Mornington Peninsula, Pizza D’oh is the place to be.

Are You Looking to Save Money by Cleaning Your Own Carpets?

I have this conversation with a customer when it comes to cleaning carpets probably every couple of weeks. It's almost like people need to become quite dodgy in order to survive. That's why more and more people are hiring carpet cleaning machines. To hire one might cost around $40 but at the end of the day it won't make your carpets look any better and you can take that one to the bank! Recognise this piece of junk? Majority of the time the real estate agent want to see a receipt from a professional carpet cleaning company to state that it's been cleaned by 'professionals'. Did ya get that last bit, professionals. Generally what happens is they go out and hire a machine then attempt to clean the carpets. Not knowing how to use the machine and trying to follow the manual can be a little bit tedious and almost difficult for some people. What we use find is people that try to clean the carpets without using a carpet cleaning company are generally tenants moving out of the property at the end of the tenancy or lease. You could call it end of lease carpet cleaning. They're trying to save money anyway they can because moving, is well… expensive! Removalist these days costs $500 plus then you have bond down payment (most properties require $1000 plus dollars), connecting utilities and internet ($300) etc, etc, the list goes on.…. So most tenants these days are trying to save money anyway they can because moving is so dam expensive.

Carpet Cleaning Advice for Tenants and Landlords

For Homeowners or Landlords If you're a homeowner and you're looking to install carpet in one of your investment properties, there's a few things you need to take into consideration. If you've got tenants moving into a property, you have to realise that they may damage the carpet purely because they don't really care about it the way you would as the owner. Most tenants will never have the standard that you have, so keep that in mind and take into consideration fair wear and tear. That's the one major thing that landlords fail to think about and most judges at VCAT for example will always base their decision around. In short, a property will slowly depreciate over time. The judge will take into consideration how many people are living in the property, if there is kids or animals and also how long the tenants have been in the property. Fair wear and tear: Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear or aging. It is used in a legal context for such areas as warranty contracts from manufacturers, which usually stipulate that damage due to wear and tear will not be covered. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_and_tear, 2014) What Carpet to Choose? These are things that you need to think about if you're an owner and you're looking to rent a property out but you’re worried about the state of the carpet or what type of carpet you're looking to lay. Over time the carpet will accumulate stains (if they're not professionally cleaned that is) and you will find that you will probably need to repaint and re-carpet every 7 or so years. That's why it’s a good idea to

Anzac Day on the Mornington Peninsula 2014

There was a big turnout this year for Anzac Day all across the Mornington peninsula. Nearly 3000 people turned up to the Rosebud RSL Memorial service including over 250 to 300 World War II veterans. It was great for the older folk to educate the young ones on what war was about and what it meant to fight and die for this great country. About 700 people joined Hastings RSL at its dawn service and more than 1200 came along to the main service at 10.30am. Emcee for the day’s events Ken Black said RSL members marched down to the foreshore where the main service took place. “We also had a fly pass put on by the air force (Tyabb airport) and the Australian male Welsh choir sang hymns and World War I songs,” Mr Black said. “We’re already thinking about plans for the next year’s events.” Mornington RSL marked the day with a dawn service at Memorial Park followed by a breakfast at the club. President Ian Bates said more than 1600 people attended the dawn service, about 300 members joined the club for breakfast and about 2000 people turned out to the main service. “It has been a busy day and well attended,” Mr Bates said.

Why Having Beautiful Carpets or Rugs Can Make a Difference in Your Home

For some homes, carpets and rugs can really make a room. They can add so much colour and really make a room inviting. All the rage right now is fluffy rugs, and for good reason. They look so warm and comfortable and sit really well in front of fireplace or under a nice coffee table. But there is no point in having beautiful rugs or fine looking carpet if you don't take care of. What I mean by take care of it is by washing the carpets and rugs on a regular basis. I've been into countless homes where they had beautiful carpet, and it's really good quality however they haven't had the carpets steam cleaned on a regular basis and it's started to fade and look grubby. This can really bring down the character of the house just by having dirty looking carpet. This is why finding a professional carpet cleaning company that you can trust and build a long-term relationship with is important. Finding a guy who knows what he's doing (or a girl for that matter) can really make a huge difference to your household. It's pretty easy these days to find a good company purely by looking at all the good reviews online. When the review system opened up on the Internet it really weeded out the bad companies. When I'm surfing the net and looking for a particular service, I always check the local directories and Google reviews. You can really decipher what type of person or business you're going to hire by reading through the reviews of previous customers. That way you won't make a bad mistake of hiring someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Recently we had

Do You Need to Steam Clean Your Carpets When Your Lease Ends?

Our move out carpet steam cleaning services are perfect to tenants who are the end of your lease and looking to get your bond back in full. A lot of the time the agent will request a receipt so say that the property has been professionally steam cleaned.  Generally most tenants will hand in a receipt when handing back the keys. Depending on the agent or landlord, some will ask tenants to have the carpets professionally cleaned at least every 12 months but there is no law to stipulate this. Obviously as a tenant you have to look after the property. Vacuuming on a regular basis and cleaning up any spills once they happen will fall under ‘normal incidence of living’ which means that the agent has to take into account fair wear and tear. When you move out of a property it's important for a tenant to hand back the property in decent condition taking into account fair wear and tear. That means as a tenant you don't have to hand the property back exactly the same as when you moved in. A lot of agents don't take into consideration fair wear and tear. Agents and landlords will try and have you steam clean the property when you move out but there is no law under the residential tenancies act to enforce this. Just keep in mind if you signed an agreement to state that you will have the carpets steam cleaned when you move out, then you will be obliged to do so. If the property floods for example due to a leaking pipe, then you are in no means obliged to pay to have the carpets steam cleaned or replaced, that is
