There are a lot of companies out there that claim to do Mattress Cleaning. All actuality there are only a handful of companies that provide a true Mattress Cleaning Service. When having your mattress cleaned it’s important to ask the following questions.
Can you remove Urine Stains? Mattress Cleaning should involve treating the urine stains when present with a Urine Stain Removal Treatment. Once treated the Mattress should then be cleaned and post treated to ensure maximum stain removal.
Do you treat for the odor? Some companies offer just topical treatments or an enzyme for Mattress Cleaning. We recommend our Kill Odor Plus Package which involves an Acidic Pre-Treatment that is designed to break down the urine salts, Kill the odor, and leave a fragrance behind to continue working once we leave.
Does your service use Truck Mount Steam Cleaning? If the answer to this question is anything but yes we Truck Mount steam clean mattresses then hang up the phone. You need to hit water to properly clean a mattress and smaller equipment just simply won’t do the job.
We like to say that “it matters who does the job”. This means that price is irrelevant if you don’t get a good quality service technician to perform the work. We pay our service technicians very well so that we have next to zero turn over. What this means for you is that you will always have a knowledgeable and skilled professional servicing your home.
It’s Flea Season. From May to Early Fall if you’re a Dog owner you know all to well the hatred of the common Flea. I was recently asked by a prospective client “Does Carpet Cleaning Kill Fleas?”. As a Carpet Cleaning service I can not say that we Kill Fleas when we steam clean. In fact, I recommend having a pest control company come out and treat for the fleas prior to carpet cleaning.
Fleas are simply a difficult pest to kill. You want to kill the fleas that are alive first through having the house treated. Then you want to vacuum the house thoroughly, discarding the vacuum bag after each vacuuming. Then you will have your house treated one more time for the flea eggs that have hatched after the first treatment and vacuuming. Once this is completed then I recommend carpet cleaning and steam cleaning of all soft surfaces in the house.
When we provide Carpet Cleaning services with Fleas in mind, we will use a specialty disinfectant. Once treated we will use 220 degree Truck Mount Steam Cleaning to thoroughly clean your carpet and upholstery. This is a necessary step in completing the circle of Flea mitigation.

Does your Bedroom or Living Room look like a parking lot filled with speed bumps? If wrinkles and buckles have taken over your carpet you may be left scratching your head and wondering why? The next thing is how do you fix it?
As Texans we know our weather is a little wonky to say the least. But what most don’t know is how this wonky weather can affect our homes and their carpet. As the weather shifts and becomes more humid your carpet can swell and buckles or wrinkles will begin to show. This is totally common but the wrinkles should be tightened for the purpose of safety and longevity of your carpet.
It’s Houston, poor quality contractors run a muck here. There are many new build homes and newly remodeled homes that simply have improper carpet installation. Most of these contractors will simply kick the carpet in and cut it. The proper way to install is through using a power stretcher to insure that you have the carpet as tight as it can be. Most installers simply don’t own a power stretcher and don’t want to take the time to install the carpet the right way.
We are all guilty of pulling large items across a carpeted surface without a second thought. The truth is that by dragging your furniture you can cause wrinkling into your carpet. Why is that? It’s because as you’re pulling heavy items across the carpet you’re essentially pulling the carpet away from the wall and causing it to buckle. The trick is to get sliders placed under your furniture legs to minimize the amount of friction when moving items.
Delamination is rare but it does happen when the carpet has been damaged by too much water such as flooding or through pet urine not being extracted. Sometimes carpet comes from the factory already defective but this is very rare. Unfortunately if your carpet is delaminated it is usually cheaper to replace the carpet rather than to fix the problem.
Sometimes steam cleaning of a carpet can cause wrinkling. Usually this is because the cleaner used too high of pressure when cleaning your carpet or simply didn’t extract properly. There are some cases however where the carpet simply contracts with any level of moisture. In situations where the carpet has simply contracted due to moisture, it will go down as the carpet completely drys. To minimize your risk, don’t attempt to clean the carpet yourself, always hire a professional to clean your carpet the right way.
The solution is simple, hire a Carpet Stretching Houston Service To Fix It! In fact you can hire us at UpFront Home Services. We are Houston’s Experts when it comes to Carpet Stretching and Carpet Repairs. We can remove the wrinkles and buckles by using a Power Stretcher and years of knowledge to properly fix your carpet.

Professional Tile and Grout Cleaning can be achieved many different ways. Some companies get on their hands and knees and scrub the grout but leave the tile dull and residue filled. These kinds of companies are known as maid services and they come prepared with whatever baking soda trick they found on google.
Another way to complete Tile and Grout Cleaning is by using a floor machine and scrubbing the floor. This can achieve a decent clean if you are properly rinsing down the floor and extracting the water. This type of system is used by franchises that specifically focus on tile and grout cleaning.
The best way however to clean tile and grout is by using Truck Mount Steam Cleaning. Through the use of a high pressure Tile and Grout Cleaning tool and hot steam, your floors can look pretty darn good again. But it doesn’t stop at the tool that’s being used to clean the tile and grout. It’s all in the chemicals, the time, and the knowledge of the person doing the job is the most important factor.
Some tile and grout clening services have all of the right things to do the job but none of the right people. It’s easy for other companies to complete on the pricing aspect but it’s hard for them to compete on the people aspect of the job.
I see many franchises go through worker after worker because they don’t pay fair wages. These companies are super competitive on price but miss on having great workers because they skimp on the most important factor, the people.
If you don’t have the right people performing Tile and Grout Cleaning, it can be an utter disaster. A truly skilled and knowledgeable professional can spot problems before they occur or at minimum solve problems that they have solved in the past. Having a rookie come in to do your tile and grout cleaning is a crap shoot. The reason why it’s a crap shoot is because you just don’t ever know what you’re going to get.
When you hire UpFront Home Services to complete your Tile and Grout Cleaning, you are hiring true professionals to come into your home and clean. Your tile and grout will be in the hands of masters in their craft. They are well paid professionals with the knowledge, equipment, and dedication to give you the best possible Cleaning result.
When UpFront Cleans your Tile and Grout we include sealing of the Grout at no extra charge! What could be easier than having us clean your grout and seal your grout vs having another company that cleans for you and charges more to seal your grout. Not only do we include sealing of your grout at no charge… We also include Alkaline and Acid passes for your floors as well. By utilizing both an alkaline and an acid, we guarantee that your floors are their absolute cleanest before we even seal the grout.

I know, you’ve called a million carpet cleaners to ask about the one thing that everyone asks. “How Much is it to clean my carpet?” Getting hung up solely on price is an easy thing to do. It’s why we buy goods made in China vs the U.S.A. Price is why some skip on organic foods and buy non organic foods. We all know that price isn’t the only factor but it’s what we use when we don’t have all of the relevant data.
Our Carpet Cleaning Company provides Green Carpet Cleaning Pre-Treatments vs Butyl based carcinogens. Most Carpet Cleaners simply don’t care about the products they use in your home. I mean they are only there for a couple hours, but you have to live with whatever it is that they decide to use in your home.
Our belief is that by using the best quality cleaning chemicals it’s not only healthy for the consumer but our technicians as well. There are quite a few carpet cleaners out there that are suffering from lung cancer into their golden years. Why? Because they are constantly breathing the low quality products that they are applying in homes. Some carpet cleaners simply don’t charge enough to purchase the safer cleaning products. They charge less than other cleaners but they are also using the worst products in your home.
I know, the last thing on your mind is what kind of carpet cleaning equipment will be used in your home. Believe me when I say it truly matters. Yes, you can clean very well with a lesser machine, but the lower quality of the machine means that you will need a higher quality technician to balance it out.
At UpFront Home Services we have invested in the highest quality of equipment available. The Average cost of one of our Carpet Cleaning units is $70k. That’s a significant investment in the quality of clean you will get in your home. Most cleaners simply don’t charge an appropriate amount to purchase the right equipment to clean your carpet.
It Matters Who Cleans Your Carpet! Not just anybody can clean carpet, although it seems that way sometimes. It takes a person that is detail oriented, well trained, and willing to do a good job. If a carpet cleaning service is charging an unbelievably low price, you can rest assured that they are paying their workers an unbelievably low wage too.
If you are being grossly underpaid at your job, would you want to do the best job possible? In most case most people will say of course not. The same applies to a carpet cleaning technician that is being so underpaid he just wants to get in and out.
At UpFront Home Services we pay an actual living wage to our experienced technicians. We aren’t the cheapest company around, but we have next to zero turnover. What’s the mean for you? It means you will always have a knowledgeable carpet cleaning technician in your home.
We back each and every one of our Carpet cleanings with a re-clean Guarantee and a money back Guarantee. That means if you have an issue we will come out and fix it. If we can’t make you happy, we will refund your money. Its really that simple.
With other cleaners they may have some type of guarantee, but will they really follow through with it? I see it all the time where other companies just stop answering their clients altogether if there’s a problem.
Quite simply we are really good at what we do. Most of our customers cite our reviews or a referral source for why they are using us. The other guys just simply can’t compete with us.
Hardwood Floors are often overlooked when it comes to professional cleaning. Why is that? It has to do with a lot of companies in Houston don’t offer Hardwood Floor Cleaning Services.

I get asked all the time “How Often Should I Have Tile and Grout Cleaning?” it really depends on you and your living environment. Having your Tile and Grout Cleaned and Sealed should occur more often in the high traffic area and heavily used areas about once per year. I see kitchen being cleaned on an annual basis but Living Areas are typically every couple of years. Why is that? The Kitchen Area sees the most grease and dirt and is also the most mopped area in a home. Unfortunately most home owners use the wrong products and tools to clean their floors. What happens is that through using the wrong products and tools a residue starts to form on the floor and attracts dirt. Here is a link to an article I wrote regarding proper tile and grout floor maintenance tools and techniques.
I recommend cleaning the kitchen area professionally once per year. A good impregnating sealant will help keep the grout cleaner longer and allow for easier cleaning on an annual basis.
Yes, I recommend cleaning the inside of the shower and the floors professionally about once a year. Why? Because these areas get the most use and you could prevent mold and mildew through regular maintenance.
I recommend Cleaning the Tile and Grout in these areas every couple of years or as necessary. The rule of thumb is every other cleaning to have the entry and living area cleaned. This all depends on your mopping technique and the area usage.
At UpFront Home Services we provide the absolute most inclusive service in Houston TX for Tile and Grout Cleaning. We have a 9 Step Tile and Grout Cleaning Process and Include the Grout Sealant at No Extra Charge! We provide FREE In Home Estimates to go over all your floor care needs.

Carpet is expensive. Some people think that carpet is inexpensive and doesn’t have any really value, that’s simply not true. Whether you like it or hate it, Carpet is a significant investment in every home. The average cost to replace a single room of carpet is between $300-$750 depending on the materials and angles.
It’s all in consistent and regular maintenance. This means that you should vacuum at least 1-2 times per week. I know it sounds like a lot (it is) but consistent vacuuming keeps dirt off of the surface. By removing surface dirt the carpet won’t abrade as quickly. Fiber abrasion happens when you walk on soiled carpet over and over and it essentially scratches the carpet fiber. Once the fiber is scratched or abraded it begins to reflect the light differently. The difference in the reflection of light is known as traffic lane wear.
Traffic lane wear is when your carpet begins to show darkness in the Traffic Lanes that even with Cleaning it never goes back to its original tone. All carpets will do this at some point but consistent maintenance will keep your carpet from going from white to a dark brown tone.
Just like going to the dentist to have your teeth cleaned, your carpet needs annual and sometimes semiannual cleaning. If you keep up with regularly cleaning your carpet and applying stain protector your carpet will stay cleaner longer.
We are the Most Inclusive Carpet Cleaning Service in the Entire Houston and Katy Area. No one includes everything we include at such a phenomenal price.

A common question that we are asked is “How Much Does Area Rug Cleaning Cost?” this is a great question when trying to figure out if having your rugs cleaned is within your budget. Truthfully though the cost have area rugs cleaned depends on several factors:
These 4 Factors play a huge role in what it costs to have your area rug cleaned. The least expensive is to have your rug cleaned on site (in your home). Having a synthetic rug cleaned is also less expensive than having a Wool rug cleaned. I recommend cleaning non-urine rugs in home vs off site as these rugs typically clean just fine on site. If the rug has urine or is really dirty, I highly recommend taking the rug off site.
You can expect to pay anywhere from $.50 per sqft to $5 per sqft depending on the rug and the cleaning method required.
At UpFront Home Services we provide Houston and Katy with the most thorough and safest Area Rug Cleaning possible. Do you have mild Pet Odors? We include our Pet Enzyme Treatment standard. Spots and Stains? We Include a pre-treatment for this standard. Do you need us to pick up the rugs and drop them off? We include pick up and drop off at no extra cost. No sales games, just quality a quality Area Rug Cleaning Service.
