Mancuso's Fascinating Facts!
Did you know that dog urine can soak through your carpet and down into the carpet backing or even the underpad? Once it's in the backing, the proper and most effective way to remove it is to lift the carpet, roll it back and actually clean the carpet backing in the affected areas (as well as cleaning the carpet face, of course). The affected piece of underpad will need to be cut out and replaced, and the subfloor should be inspected as well.

Did you know that the water used to clean your synthetic carpet should be at lease 60 degrees Celsius (or 140 degrees Fahrenheit) at the point it makes contact with the carpet? If your carpet is wool, the water has to be cooler. To learn more visit us at our website!

Thinking of getting a new sofa? Best advice: BEFORE YOU BUY, find out what fabric has been used to make the upholstery. If you have any questions about what you find, call us!

Mancuso's Fascinating Facts!
Did you know the some area rugs are made from textiles that don't clean well? For example some have a border made from cotton that might not have been pre-shrunk, so the rug might not lay flat after it's been cleaned. Or the dye in that cotton might not be colourfast, so the border might look worn and faded after cleaning. Best advice: READ THE TAG on the back of the rug. If you have any questions about what it says, call us!

Mancuso's Fascinating Facts!
Did you know that baking soda is great for treating spills in your carpet or area rug? Not only does it soak up liquid, it also neutralizes any acid present. You'd be surprised how many liquids have acid in them! It's usually the acid in the pop or coffee or wine, or even the dog urine or the vomit, that makes the carpet think it's being re-dyed. So by neutralizing the acid, you can reduce or eliminate the staining that comes with a spill.
The... WORST thing you can do is apply a spray-on detergent or a soap and scrub it in. This usually guarantees the stain will be permanent.

Manuso's Fascinating Facts!
DID YOU KNOW that cut pile carpets can be vacuumed with a beater bar or brush head attached, but berber or loop carpets should only be vacuumed with a brush head attachment and never with a beater bar? Not only does the beater bar do a poor job of vacuuming that style of carpet, it might damage the carpet as well.

Fake Porn Site Directs You to IKEA Beds -http://l.inkto.it/8sqm
Clever? Stupid? Disgusting? We don't have a porn site, fake or real (that we're aware of, anyway), but we do clean mattresses! Keep us in mind if you think your mattress needs a good cleaning. Call for details!

We're empty nesters now! About 6 hours after this picture, all 4 of our chicks left the nest (you can see how crowded it was in there), and spent about a day hopping, hiding and taking short trial flights in our back yard. Mom and dad (and anxious grandparents) kept careful watch and kept offering food (the parents, that is, Paolo tried to feed them but no takers). Dad kept protecting the nest for another day or so (empty nest syndrome?), but now he's waiting for the landlord to clean the place so he can start again!

Grand-chicks again! You can tell they're Italian because their mouths are always open!

Here's the latest pic of the grand-chicks! The leaf in the way makes it hard to see, but there's still four of them in the nest. Hasn't a lot changed in one week? Pretty soon they'll be graduating and leaving the nest! We're staying away a bit more these days because a crow has appeared in the neighborhood and we don't want to alert them to the presence of the nest. Being a grandparent takes lots of skill, I'll tell you!

A heads up to those of you in Calgary or elsewhere who might have water in your basement that's saturated your carpet: GO TO OUR WEBSITE for FREE information on what to do. Unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people who will be happy to "help" you by sucking up water and then installing dryers for days and days. BEWARE! Another tip: if water is coming into your basement because the ground around your house is saturated, water will continue to come in until the ground ha...s been able to get rid of it (water always moves from wet to dry). So, there's no point installing expensive drying equipment until the water has stopped coming in. Our thoughts go out to all who've been affected by this incredible natural disaster, and we sincerely hope your recovery is swift, and that you aren't taken advantage of in your time of need. http://l.inkto.it/5t9i
