Enjoy a GREENER, Cleaner Home
in 3 Easy Steps!

(and give the planet a break too!)
Greetings,

The red and gold colors of fall are creeping in - but GREEN is always in season!  Doing our part to help the planet starts at home. But guess what? Being environmentally responsible also has great benefits for your home and family! 
Green Cleaning
Here are 3 easy (yet commonly overlooked) things you can do to make cleaning more fun, effective, and environmentally friendly:

1. Use an efficient vacuum cleaner
A good, efficient vacuum like the Miele S7 upright (pictured above) can pick up more dirt in less time, with great ease and agility. Most importantly, it will trap that dust so that is doesn't spew back into your breathing air and settle on surfaces like your walls and furniture (yuck!) The production of electricity can be a big strain on our environment. With Miele- very little time, effort, and electrical energy is wasted running the vacuum unnecessarily!

2. Use a quality vacuum cleaner
Did you know that quality vacuum brands like Miele & Sebo are designed to last up to 20 years?! Instead of buying multiple cheap, "throw away" vacuums - be responsible by investing in one good machine! Not only will your cleaning chores be done faster and better - but think how much energy, natural resources, money and space in the landfill will be SAVED!!

And most importantly....
3. Use Natural...    (READ MORE)

Q: "Sandy" from Belford, NJ writes:
There's a stain on my livingroom carpet that has been haunting me for the past 6 months! Every time I treat it and think it's gone, it slowly RE-APPEARS! What's the deal with that?

A:  Stain treatment can be quite a science, Sandy....but don't worry, it's not rocket science! Here are some really simple things you can do to take care of nasty stains - and get rid of them for good!

1.     Whatever it is - mud, wine, vomit, etc - the very first step is to PICK UP as much of the excess mess before you start laying down treatment products! If it's mud - don't touch it, let it dry, and then vacuum most of it up. If it's wine, coffee, oil or any other liquid, BLOT most of it up with towels or an absorbent chamois cloth. Wipe up pet messes - and like liquid stains - get to treating them quickly, before they dry out.

2.     Next, you must then MATCH your stain treatment product appropriately to the TYPE OF STAIN you have. Different products are designed to tackle specific stains: Oil or grease-based; dye-based (like hair colorant or dark juices); biologically-based (like blood or pet messes).   This is especially important for pet stains. Some animals will re-soil the same area if they detect the smell of their old mess! Only treatments containing special enzymes can properly break down the proteins making up urine, feces or vomit (which are the source of the smell). You may need to apply a secondary treatment to take care of residual discoloration.

3.     The last and most important part...you have to GET IT ALL OUT! This is where your particular problem is arising, Sandy. If you use too much product, and/or don't get all of the cleaning solution back out of the carpet, it will continue to grab new dirt that comes in on your shoes and such. Getting your carpet nice and dry is important too, as deeply-embedded dirt in the carpet can "wick up" to the top surface of the fibers....making stains "magically appear" later on as it dries! So blot up all of the moisture using clean dry cloths and a lot of pressure - even if you have to stand on it! Better yet - use a carpet cleaning machine to agitate the fibers, help rinse out the stain, and suck the dirty water out!

So, good luck Sandy! I hope these tips have been helpful. If you have any more trouble or need help choosing the right chemicals - we have them all here at Queen Vacuum. We'll be happy to help!

"
Queen Vacuum came highly recommended by another business in my community. And I originally came in needing a very old vacuum fixed. The folks at Queen Vacuum were extremely helpful, which was the main reason I came back to purchase another new vacuum! And their everyday pricing compares to other stores' sale prices. But you have to wait for those sales, and you would just be 'another customer.' Buying locally builds relationships."
