Englewood FL carpet tile cleaners Crystal Carpet &Tile Cleaners

Crystal Carpet and Tile Cleaners has been in business for more than 25 years in Southwest Florida. They are a family business and your satisfaction is guaranteed or your money back. It's important to have a complete and professional carpet cleaning on a regular basis. Crystal Carpet and Tile Cleaners use a 12-step carpet cleaning process.


 Step 1: Pre-Inspection

Our technician will walk through your home with you to visually inspect the carpet. He will identify potential permanent stains and give you an evaluation of expected results.

 

Step 2: Commercial Pre-vacuum

Dry soil is removed by a thorough vacuuming. Removing dry soil is one of the most important steps in cleaning.

 

Step 3: Furniture Moving

Our regular pricing includes moving sofas, chairs, tables and smaller items. Beds, dressers, and heavier pieces are left in place under our regular pricing structure. One of our consultants can quote the exact cost any heavier pieces.

 

Step 4: Pre-spray

A preconditioning agent is applied to break down traffic area soil and general spots for more thorough cleaning.

 

Step 5: Pre-spot

 

 

 

 

Difficult spots are pre-treated with special solutions to increase chances of removal. 

 

Step 6: Pre-grooming

A professional carpet shampooer is used to further loosen the soil.

 

 

Step 7: Soil Extraction and Rinse

The carpet is then thoroughly rinsed with a powerful extraction cleaning system without overwetting the carpet or leaving a sticky residue behind.

 

Step 8:  Neutralizer

Every carpet that we cleaned is pH balanced so that there is no sticky residue left behind. This also leaves your carpet soft and fresh.

 

Step 9: Post Spot

Any spots or stains still remaining will get extra treatment with our many specialty spotting solutions.

 

*** For longer carpet life and fewer permanent stain, be sure to have professional carpet protector applied to your carpet

 

 

Step 10: Post Groom

Your carpet is groomed with a professional groomer so that the pile of your carpet is standing tall when we leave. Post grooming helps the carpet pile dry faster and in the right position.

 

Step 11: Speed Dry

High velocity air movers are placed on the carpet immediately after cleaning to promote faster drying.

 

Step 12: Post Cleaning Inspection

Our technician will walk through your home with you to point out the cleaning results to make sure that you are completely thrilled with the job.

 

Many people are thrilled with Bill and his family's work at Crystal Carpet and Tile Cleaners.

Mrs. Jeanne L from the Harbor Isles of North Port

“I thought our beautiful white Berber carpet looked like it needed a light cleaning. But when I found out that forty pounds of dust accumulates in a home in just one year and the dust is crawling with terrible germs, not to mention that I have pets. I decided it was time for a good spring-cleaning and when Crystal Cleaners cleaned my carpets I couldn't believe the difference. The carpet was much dirtier than I ever imagined. Now it sparkles, it's softer and I feel much better. I have had so many friends comment on how new it looks now”

 

 

 

 

Susan M (who owns a home in the exclusive Charlotte Point shares)

"We kept putting off cleaning our carpets, our last experience left us feeling like we had made a bad choice in picking the lighter colors, they showed so many stains and we were told they would never come out. My husband kept telling me about this Christian carpet cleaner. My husband owns Joe's tire and service station in Englewood, and has serviced Bill"s vehicle many times. We finally scheduled the cleaning and he did such an amazing job, Bill removed all the stains that I though were permanent at a price that I felt was very reasonable. We think so highly of Bill that we keep a stack of his business cards at our shop and recommend him to all our friends.”

 

 

 

 

Marvin and Sybil O, Englewood

“We have a large Labrador retriever who we love but he is hard on our carpets to say mildly, we have called Crystal Cleaners for the last seven years and they have made them look like new every time. His deep professional cleaning keeps us from ever worrying about what our dog could do that they can't undo.”  

 

 

 

 

Doris R, County Club Villas Venice

“ I knew when it came time to clean my carpets and furniture that I would call Crystal Cleaners so many of my neighbors were so pleased with his service I knew I couldn't go wrong, great job!”  

 

 

 

 

Christine Hart of Coldwell Bankers Writes:

“We have used Crystal Cleaners for over 20 years, they do excellent work, are reliable and honest. Some of our duplex properties have really had hard wear and tear and ground in dirt in the carpet. However you have managed to get them clean and extend the life of the carpet making the owners happy. I would be glad to tell anyone personally, my work number is: 474-6464 ”

Harry R Of Alameda Isles writes:

"My white berber carpets were so heavly soiled I though they would never look good again. After Bill cleaned them they looked great just like new."

"Crystal Cleaners Did a fantastic Job on my Tile and grout, He brought back all the color!"

Interim Remediation Guidance
for Homes with Corrosion from Problem Drywall 1

by the Consumer Product Safety Commission

and the Department of Housing and Urban Development
April 2, 2010
 
 
Introduction

This Interim Remediation Guidance summarizes what the Federal Interagency Task Force on Problem

Drywall (“Task Force”) believes is a sufficiently stringent approach for the remediation of houses

affected by problem drywall, given the information now available. Initial studies found a strong

association between the presence of problem drywall and corrosion of metal in homes. Based on those

findings, the Task Force has developed this interim guidance that focuses on the replacement of problem

drywall and building components for which drywall-induced corrosion might cause a safety problem.

This Interim Remediation Guidance is provided at this time and before the completion of all ongoing

scientific studies of this matter, because the Task Force recognizes that many homeowners want to begin

the process of repairing their homes. The Task Force recognizes that less extensive or costly remediation

methods may have merit, but at present the Task Force lacks a scientific basis to evaluate those methods.

This guidance is designed as a conservative, common sense approach to the challenges facing

homeowners, and is offered in advance of a complete understanding of certain scientific matters at issue.

The Task Force will continue its efforts to develop and refine procedures or standards related to the

remediation of drywall homes and this guidance issued today will be modified as necessary.

Interim Remediation Guidance

This Interim Remediation Guidance for homes with problem drywall calls for the replacement of:

1. all possible problem drywall;

2. all fire safety alarm devices (including smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms);

3. all electrical components and wiring (including outlets, switches and circuit breakers); and

4. all gas service piping and fire suppression sprinkler systems.

All testing and remediation work should be conducted in compliance with applicable building codes,

occupational safety and health standards, and environmental regulations.

Discussion

This Interim Remediation Guidance intends to address possible safety hazards related to corrosion in

drywall homes by: (1) eliminating the source of the corrosion, the problem drywall, and (2) replacing

building components for which drywall-induced corrosion might cause a safety problem, such as fire

safety alarm devices, electrical components and wiring, gas service piping and fire suppression sprinkler

systems.

As a threshold matter, before remediation, care should be taken to determine whether the house has

problem drywall. The Task Force recently released Interim Guidance – Identification of Homes with

Corrosion from Problem Drywall,2 to assist in such determinations.

1 This is a staff document, and has not been reviewed or approved by, and may not necessarily reflect the views of,

the Commission or the Department.

2

Where a house has been identified as having problem drywall, the scientific and practical challenges to

finding individual problem sheets of drywall remain. Until such challenges are overcome, this Interim

Remediation Guidance calls for the general replacement of drywall in an identified home. If a portion of

the drywall in a home can be reasonably identified not to be problem drywall, because it is known to have

been installed prior to the relevant time period (i.e., before 2001) and there are no other corroborating

conditions, as provided in the Task Force’s interim guidance on identification, indicating that the drywall

is problem drywall, one option is to leave that drywall in place.

Replacement of all fire safety alarm systems, electrical components and wiring, gas service piping and

fire suppression sprinkler systems should address the metal components in the home at greatest risk of

being affected by drywall-induced corrosion in a way that may affect the occupants’ safety.

The Task Force is aware that some remediation efforts have included the replacement of copper water

service plumbing, and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) evaporator coils. Homeowners

may seek to replace such items, but their replacement is not included in this interim guidance because of

the absence of a direct connection to safety.

The Task Force recognizes that other remediation approaches could ultimately prove more cost-effective

and/or less invasive, such as the preservation of insulated wiring, but additional study is required on such

approaches. Ongoing CPSC studies on long-term corrosion, due later in 2010, should provide relevant

scientific information.

Homeowners should recognize that homes can suffer from corrosion unrelated to drywall, and that such

other corrosion problems may not be resolved by addressing the drywall.

Other Building Materials and Contents:

Underlying the Task Force’s recommendations is its view that removal of the source material, i.e., the

problem drywall, will eliminate the cause of the corrosive environment. The Task Force does not have a

scientific basis to believe that emissions from the problem drywall require replacement of nonproblem

drywall, wood studs, flooring, cabinetry, or other household components and fixtures that may have been

exposed to the drywall emissions.

The Task Force understands, however, that certain other building materials and contents could be affected

or require replacement in the course of the practical construction or engineering steps required to

undertake the remediation described in this interim guidance. The Task Force does not offer any view on

the replacement of other affected metals, home electronics, or personal property.

Cleanup Following Remediation:

After the remediation, it is important to ensure that the home be cleaned to remove any visible drywall

dust and debris.

The Task Force is aware that some parties who are remediating homes with problem drywall take certain

actions aimed at cleaning the structure during remediation such as the use of HEPA (high efficiency

particulate air) vacuums and the ventilation of the home for a period between removal and replacement of

drywall. The Task Force does not have a scientific basis for evaluating the need for such steps, but

2 www.cpsc.gov/info/drywall/interimidguidance012810.pdf, January 28, 2010.
3

homeowners should consider these options as they seek to make an informed decision in their particular

situation.
Additional Issues:

The Task Force is aware that some parties offer remediation approaches other than the replacement of

problem drywall and affected metal components. The Task Force does not have a scientific basis to

provide an opinion or evaluation of such approaches.

Consumers should exercise caution in contracting for testing and remediation, and should be diligent in

confirming the references, qualifications, and background of individuals and firms that offer such

services.3 Consumers should request that individuals and firms that offer remediation strategies that

differ significantly from this interim guidance explain those strategies to the consumer’s satisfaction

before the consumer’s purchase of those services or products.

Continuing Development of this Guidance

Scientific investigations are moving as quickly as possible to understand the complex problems presented

by the issue of problem drywall. The scientific work completed to date by the Federal Interagency Task

Force has been essential to building the foundation for decision-making by homeowners and local, state

and federal authorities.4 The investigation continues to expand our understanding of this issue – but the

Task Force believes that current information is sufficient to provide this Interim Remediation Guidance

for homes with corrosion from problem drywall.
