Carpet cleaning in Hinsdale odor removal

Hinsdale has some of the nicest homes in DuPage county. I know. I clean an awful lot of them.
was in one yesterday. a nice french colonial the new owner had just taken possession of. beautiful hard wood and wrought iron hand rails--and an odor in the basement.

they'd gotten water down there and had taken their time getting it out and now had a funky smell.

your home is one of your bigggest expenses. the wise homeowner is proactive and addresses small concerns before they turn into big ones.

anyone can rip out funky smelling rugs, or soaking wet carpets. At Beyond Carpet and flood restoration we're a little bit better than that. often, we can save both rug and padding, drying them in place. this saves you thousands of dollars in replacement costs and disruption of your lives.

the next time you have water in the finished basement call Beyond. We get you back to dry quickly, completely, safely.

The rainy season is almost upon us

At Beyond Carpet and Flood restoration we do a wonderful job of restoring your home to preflood conditions. we have excellent response time and have never lost a basement yet.

but as good as we are are unflooding basements, drying out basements, emergency water removal, there is even something better. Not having to call us at all because you were prepared.

a few years ago we along with ten zillion other people lost power. after a few hours my wife started yelling all up and down the house for me.

I'm in the basement I told her.

what are you doing down there in the dark.

I'm doing my JOB.

she paused for a moment then yelled back. "you're eating ice cream bars."


ding ding ding. we have a winner. those ice cream bars were gonna melt if i didn't help them out. It was dark. there was no power and I was the man for the job.


eating your problems away is one solution. another is to have your plumber stop in once a year, spend a few bucks and be sure that fancy expensive battery back up system you shelled out all those ducats for is actually working.

how about your gutters and downspouts? when was the last time they were cleaned and checked? you can hire an insured service for a few bucks to clean them out. I haven't heard too many good things about gutter leaf protectors but someone gotta do it or you're gonna end up calling me because of flooding.

does the contour of your ground lead water away from the house or towards it. my friend Ave Berkshire in Oak Brook Terrace can terra form your yard, cut the grass and make your outside look as beautiful as the inside. call me and I'll get you her landscaping #.

Ice damns can push water under your shingles and give you leaking roofs walls and basements. do you need to have someone install a gutter warmer?


even a simple thing like keeping the trees and bushes near the foundation trimmed and in good order can go a long way to keeping you dry during the upcoming rainy season.


In closing I'm reminded of a national geographics picture i saw. the river overflooded everyone in town. the ariel view showed every home under water but one. this man had sandbag up the wazoo surrounding his property. everyone else had access to the same sand, the same bags but only he was proactive and made the preparations that save his home and saved him tons of money. misery loves company. let misery go solo this upcoming flood season. as for me?


I'm not taking any chances. I've got two generators, a brand new sump pump and a chest freezer full of ice cream bars. I'm starting to eat them now, just in case a comet comes along and lands on my generators and sup. Happy rainy season.

The cheapest carpet cleaning in town

over the years I've found you get what you pay for. everyone wants a bargain. everyone wants a deal but if someone is offering you a diamond for a zircon price you'd better have your jeweler along before you hand over the money.

carpet cleaning like anything else is priced with the consumer in mind. most cleaners are honest, hard working guys who sincerely want to give a real value to their clients. some just want to take your money but you'll find that everywhere.

carpet manufacturers recommend having your rugs cleaned once a year to 18 months just to freshen things up and flush out all that accumulated dirt, dust, allergens. etc. If you could see what we pull out of your carpets you'd become convinced not to just wait till you think they need it.

the honest carpet cleaner know what to charge. he also knows what the competition charges.
if someone tells you they can clean your room for $4.95 minimum 2 rooms or the whole house for $49.95 they are simply lying to you.

you couldn't rent a machine and soap and do it that cheap so how can they? make it up on volume? they are slow and need the work? come on. I got some swamp land I want to sell you too. But the bait and switch cleaner has their place in the whole scheme of things.

You see, some people care only about money. keeping it. no matter what. they care nothing about value, honest, integrity, service. just show me the money honey. perfect! Fantastic!
Those people call up the bait and switch $4.95 a room cleaner and hope they'll do an okay job.

the guy shows up and says "you have special conditions and i need to extract large dollar amounts from your wallet. conditions like dirt. or pet odors or stains or day to day soiling. in fact you could have a new rug just put down and they'll find a special condition they need to charge you for. want scotchguard? sorry, there's only water in this pump up sprayer I'm charging you scotchgard for.

If your number one burning goal is to save money rip out your carpets and walk on the plywood underlayment. or rent a machine, soak your carpets with soap and get that wonderful three day dry time moldy smell.

you get what you pay for. if you call us at Beyond Carpet and Flood restoration we'll give you a fair price, wow you with our service and give you a free refillable bottle of spotter.

If you want rock bottom give away going out of business prices please call the other guys. I hear their great!

coffee stain removal in glen elllyn

Emergency! Emergency! Danger Danger Will Robinson. A friend called me yesterday with an emergency. They had people over to their Glen Ellyn home for their small group bible study and one woman didn't see the step down into the family room.

varoom! she launched hot coffee all over the couch, the carpets, the walls and herself.
they blotted and wiped and did what they could but bottom line there was a huge coffee stain on the edge of the carpet. He called me the next day.

one 0f the problems with coffee is its complexity. there are tannins in there. add sugar and milk and you've got proteins and complex other things going on. the kicker was that it was hot coffee.
hot water relaxes the carpet, combine the hot water in the coffee with the dye found in the coffee and you've got a recipe for disaster. the hot coffee can open up the dye cells in the carpet fiber and redye the carpet to the color of the coffee. If this happens it is impossible to get the stain out because the acid in the drink has redyed the carpet. this IS now the color of the rug.


fortunately, this was not the case at their home. they'd jumped on the stain, did all they could and then contacted Beyond carpet and flood restoration immediately. we were able to move some things around and came out quickly.


a major shot of secret sauce and lots of dwell. as long as we were out he added some rooms so we vacuumed and prepped the other rooms while the coffee stain removal sauce did it's thing.

while we were in one of the son's rooms the dad moved the bed and there was a stain, orange pop, he had made years ago. "I don't know? I'll do my best but it's had a decade to burn into the rug."

Meanwhile, the secret sauce was reapplied and more lights added so we had a better view of the stain and our progress.

the dad came by and looked at the orange pop stain. "WoW, that looks great. It's gone."

No sir. It does not look great. not too me it doesn't.

why, what's wrong.

to you it's almost gone. I want it to look perfect. better than new. that's my goal. I'm an anal retentive.

You think? said the man.


bottom line? we got out the 10 year old pop stain. we went down and nuked the coffee stain and got all that completely out as well. other would have been satisfied with just making the stain lighter but with Beyond Carpet and flood restoration we just go beyond what you expect.

Riding the storm out

If you have flooded basements in Lombard, or flooded basement in Burr Ridge or a broken pipe and have water in your basement in Glen Ellyn, Beyond carpet cleaning is the restoration expert you want to call. did you know you no longer have to pull up wet padding and carpets to dry them out?

there are new technologies that allow us to dry out carpet and padding in place without the muss and fuss of ripping everything up and then you paying to have someone tack it down again.

Yes, I'm aware every place you've read on the web says you simply have to pull the padding out.
that was true 15 years ago. Do you really want someone who's skill and education stopped 15 years ago on the job at your home? I didn't think so.

sure it's a lot easier to just pull the padding. It will also cost you thousands of dollars more if you opt to go this way. someone will have to buy new padding, and new carpets, not to mention that you're adding to our landfills when you don't need to.

Beyond Carpet and Flood restoration has new, state of the art tools that will suck the water out of your flooded basement in Lombard, or flooded basement in Burr Ridge or you water loss in Hinsdale or your water in a finished basement in Wheaton.

when storms come calling or a pipe breaks or the dishwasher or ice maker overflows call Beyond. we're get you back to dry quickly.

bag of fun

Five pound bag of fun

I was carpet cleaning in Lombard yesterday when I brought out my bag of fun and added to it. My bag of fun is something no other cleaner has. It’s a recycled garbage bag filled with dirt. The dirt comes from the carpets I just cleaned.

See, your carpets hold and trap dirt, dust mites, allergens, and dry particulate. Your regular vacuuming only takes out so much of it. The rest stays in there grinding away at your precious fibers wearing them away to useless junk. It’s a lot easier to do carpet cleaning in Lombard if I remove the dry soil first instead of turning it mud and then trying to extract the mud.

We use Oreck and Dyson vacuums on every job. Some of the most powerful units ever made. The Dyson is especially nice because it has a quick release dirt cup canister. You can see the dirt and dust you removed from that job. If you have a strong stomach, we’ll show you what I pull out from your rugs even before we begin the actual cleaning.

We then take that dirt, usually two or three pounds per house when we’re carpet cleaning Lombard and empty it into my fun bag. Then we clean the carpets in Lombard, or carpet clean in Hinsdale, or carpet clean in Glen Ellyn. After the Carpet cleaning is done and before we roll up the hoses we empty our in line filter bag. This is a final filter that traps and holds even more soil removed during the cleaning process. It’s a mesh liner that goes into a clear plastic filter housing. There is almost always another three to four pounds of wet lint, soil, gravel and dirt in the mesh lining. We take that stuff out and put it in the fun bag as well. When the bag gets full we throw it out and start over again. Using recycled bag is not only cheaper than using new bags, it’s better for the environment and the planet as well.

So, on a typical day, we add ten to thirty pounds of dry and wet soil to our fun bags on the trucks. That’s thirty pounds of soil no longer in your carpets. No longer grinding and cutting away at your home’s biggest filter, your wall to wall and area rugs.

So whether you need carpet cleaning in Hinsdale, Carpet Cleaning in Lombard, carpet cleaning in Burr Ridge, or carpet cleaning in Wheaton or carpet cleaning in Glen Ellyn, call Beyond Carpet Cleaning and get the dirt out that others leave behind. If you have a really strong stomach, we’ll let you peek inside the bag of fun.
