QC Newsletter October 2016 - Hard Surface Cleaning

Hard Surface Cleaning

In today’s home decor, hard surface flooring is playing an increasingly important role. Examples of popular flooring materials include stone, concrete, ceramic/clay, wood, resilient and specialty flooring. These materials appear to be easy to clean, maintain and restore, however, soils on hard surface flooring have a tendency to build up progressively, resulting in erosion. Sooner or later, it’s necessary to clean beyond routine dusting and damp mopping; that’s the time to call in a certified professional for help.

Call us today for a quote on cleaning your surfaces.

QC Newsletter October 2016 - Cat Scratching Got You Down?

Cat Scratching Got You Down?

This isn't exactly a revelation, since you probably have the  evidence   everywhere, in the tattered corners of your sofa, shredded drapes and your frayed nerves. Though your kitty's natural propensity for scratching may not be big news, it is a fact that you'll need to take into account if you're going to make any headway in winning the battle to keep his/her from scratching in places you consider undesirable.

Of course, cats need an outlet to claw their nails but we all prefer it’s not our upholstery.  You can't make a cat do anything he or she doesn't want to do. Get clear on that and getting them to stop doing something they enjoy is just about as difficult. Therefore, you have to think smart and re-channel his/her desires.

So what to do !?!?  First of all, have an appropriate cat scratching post for your cat, I know...... You’re thinking....duh!  Sisal scratching posts are ideal for releasing your kitty’s primal urges. This is a material he/she can shred to pieces with great satisfaction but are you thinking what do I do to protect my furniture???  There is a product that you can apply to your upholstery, curtains, mattress, etc.  It’s a tape that that deters cats from scratching!  It’s called Sticky Paws!  Widely available for purchase at pet stores and Amazon,  also reasonably priced!
