Get Set for Spring in Fleetwood NY 10552

Winter never really arrived and here comes spring, hopefully!  For our realtor Rainmaker friends, this is a hopeful sign that sellers will sell, buyers will warm up to buy and banks will lend -- yeah right.  Some tips are below for homeowners or sellers who need to spruce up their homes as this wierd winter wanes.

Meantime, those of us who help make "clean houses sell faster," did not have our usual customers with water damage.  By this time of year, we usually are helping clean-up flooding from frozen pipes, ice dam leaks and other issues that have plagued home owners and sellers for the past four cold winters.  We've had lots of work, but those were fire-related and mold mitigations after the historic wet summer and fall last year.  

And, now it's time for Spring Cleaning...in MARCH! 

So, we are joining local plumbers, craftsman and other service professionals who are on-call, to help homeowners and home sellers get ready for warmer weather.  We are a 24 hour on-call service for emergencies in traumatic fire and water damages, of course.  

However, we also clean carpets and draperies as well as upholstery.  In fact, we can help preserve and prolong the life of your carpet.  If it's had its day in the sun, though, contact our friend and flooring pro, "The Flooring Girl" Debbie Gartner.

Here are some of our Servpro of Scarsdale / Mount Vernon's home and business owner tips for keeping your carpet and flooring clean:  

With proper regular care, you can add years to the life of your carpet and help to retain its original appearance. The most important thing you can do is vacuum thoroughly and frequently, particularly in high-traffic areas. 

• Vacuuming helps remove dirt particles which abrade the carpet and dull the appearance.
• For best results, use a vacuum cleaner with beater bars and good suction.
• Keep bags, filters, and recovery tanks clean.

• Regular vacuuming.
• Spot removal.
• Pilating the carpet to prevent matting.
• Moving furniture to change traffic patterns.
• Using walk-off mats to limit the amount of soil tracked onto the carpet.
