Steam cleaning is a highly advanced cleaning method that involves exposing rugs, carpets, upholstery and other surfaces to steam or vapor heated up to pretty high temperatures. Normal water is converted to steam and your unclean materials or surfaces are exposed to a blast of that steam. The result is pristine surfaces and materials free from dust, dirt, grime, grease and molds. For steam cleaning your surfaces & materials, the given steps are followed: Firstly, the container is filled with clean water which is then heated up to very high temperatures through a heating element present inside the container. The water starts boiling and is soon converted to steam. The steam is made to pass through a nozzle attached with a cleaning device. Steam production will continue automatically until all water inside the container is exhausted.

When you are looking for a steam cleaning service provider, you must understand what ‘dry steam cleaning’ actually is and how it differs from ‘wet steam cleaning’. Dry steam cleaning involves the use of superheated water that converts into steam with little or no water remnant in it. A material or surface that is dry-steam cleaned will not be moist or wet after the cleanup. On the other hand, when a material or surface is wet-steam cleaned, the water content in the steam leaves the material or surface moist. Dry steam can reach the areas or folds of surfaces where wet steam cannot. Dry steam cleaning is preferred by many over wet steam cleaning as dry steam cleaning is mess-free. Dry steam is a potent cleaning agent as it can effectively obliterate grime and grease and also destroy pathogens, bacteria, mildew and mold.

Steam cleaning if used for cleaning your soiled and shabby carpets can indeed leave your carpets pristine clean.

The heated-up vapor can easily cause the dirt and debris trapped amid your carpet fibers to loosen out and get removed. The intense heat can disintegrate the bond that causes dirt, grease and stain to cling to the fibers of your carpets and rugs. Also, the heat from the vapor can destroy all bacteria, mold and pathogens lodged in between the fiber of your carpets and rugs. Carpet steam cleaning, in fact, paves the way for intensive cleaning where your carpets are thoroughly sterilized and are left clean to the deepest layers.

Steam cleaning of upholstery is a very effective cleaning method and can give your upholsteries a brand new-like look. All sorts of embedded stains, dirt and grease can be removed through steam cleaning. Allergens, bacteria, molds, dust mites etc too can be removed through steam cleaning. Professional steam cleaners will follow a few steps in order to steam clean your upholstery the perfect way vacuuming the upholstery, pre-treating the stubborn stains with a stain cleaner, pre-conditioning of the upholstery fabric, steam cleaning the upholstery and letting your upholstery to dry up

Common problems you might face involve light bulbs, light switches, and light fixtures. Light bulbs usually flicker, blink or burn out at a high rate while usually a replacement does the trick, there could also be underlying severe problems like the light fixture, poor connection in the electrical circuit, or even trouble with the primary electrical wire connection. Other problems could involve frequent electrical surges and circuit breaker tripping. Such problems warrant contacting an electrical service professional immediately.

When an electrical malfunction occurs, only a qualified and experienced electrician can deal with the issue. An electrical service provider generally charges on an hourly basis or project basis. Electrical service costs vary depending on several factors such as the location, complexity of the electrical work, experience, and materials used.

You must always go for a professional electrician as they will always be up to date with the current electrical code in most set ups, this is crucial because if you decide to go to the lengths and expenses of electrical work you must ensure you abide by the current requirements, moreover, when you opt for a professional, you can be assured  they will purchase the correct material in the optimum quantity as to create minimum waste and hence save your costs in the long run. Above all, you will always have the risk of electrocution and burns that might occur while doing electrical installations and repairs yourself.

Make sure you read other customer's reviews and check contractor's previous projects pictures, get a detailed report about how they plan to prep your house for the painting, as holes, bad spots, etc., must be covered, all surfaces scraped and sanded. Get to know how many workers will be involved in the process and for how long. Also, get the entire process of preparation in writing, be certain about the grade of paint that will be used and you should always opt for premium quality paint as it will start bleeding through after a short time. 

Is crucial to use high-grade paint rather than save a few dollars and go for inferior quality, potential savings on material cost severely compromises the quality and longevity of your project. Although all paints look the same from the outside, a high-quality paint uses better ingredients and fewer fillers, which will help you get a long-lasting finish, better and longer protection with a better manufacturer’s warranty. On the other hand, low-quality paint will experience chalking, fading, peeling, and cracking not very long after completing the project. They will also not wash well and scruff easily.

Picking the right colors for your project could be a daunting task, however, it varies on the homeowner's likes and interests, and there’s no absolute formula to adhere to. Go through paint brochures that come up with new ideas on different color schemes. You can consult with major paint stores on what are the most popular colors. Go through house painting apps, which will give you a broad spectrum. Take suggestions from your painting contractor as he might be able to give you the safest options.

Preparations include washing outside, scraping, caulking, filling, sanding, priming, etc. Most professional painters also remove draperies, switch-plates, hardware, outside shutters, hose reels, or any temporary attachments before painting and then replace them afterward. Before the paint coat is applied, some even do wood trims and siding replacements. Indoor preparations may include covering, moving, caulking, sanding, priming, before applying finish coats, etc. Both inside and outside, precautions such as covering with plastic sheathing, using canvas drop cloths are mandatory.

A typical consultation will take about 30 minutes from start to finish. The estimator will visit your proposed project, when he comes to meet with you and do a tour around the entire area before preparing and presenting to you his final proposal, you can lay down your requirements and concerns before him, who will offer suggestions based on his experience to help you come up with the perfect plan for your painting project. Once these initial clarifications are taken care of, the estimator will prepare your proposal and mention details about all the services that need to be performed along with prices.

Professional painting services costs depend on the type of project, the scope of the project, if it is a big project, the number of coats required, the kind of paints being used, latex paints and enamel paints can be expensive, the painting pattern you choose matters. Specialty painting patterns such as textured painting or stencil painting are pricey compared to the other conventional painting patterns. The standard cost of hiring a painter ranges from $2 to $6 for each sq. ft. or $8 to $50 per hour. However, we recommend visiting our website and comparing the best rates offered by our service partners. As mentioned, the cost depends on a lot of factors.

It is best to talk directly with the person who will do the actual work, ask for an estimate and get it in writing, ask for all costs and check if everything is included in the quote so there are no surprises when they bill you. Ask if they guarantee their work in cases where such a warranty is required depending on the work nature. Ask how fast they can complete the job, their timings, and the number of people engaged in the task together, Talk To Bruno will take care of all this details for you to only think on what improvements are next.
