5 Things to Look Out for When Selecting a Home Air Duct Cleaning Service

Keeping your air ducts clean and in good working order is one of the most important aspects of home maintenance. Failure to keep the air ducts clean can, and often does, result in an overworked furnace, unexpected breakdowns and elevated energy bills.

Should You Invest in Professional Oriental Rug Cleaning?

Oriental rugs occupy floor space in homes right across the United States and for good reason. Not only are their designs and patterns visually stimulating and attractive to look at, but they do a great job at typing together all of the other elements of a rooms design.

However, for all of the benefits that they are able to lend to your property, they need to be carefully looked after, even more so than carpet, otherwise you could find yourself shopping for some new rugs sooner than you think.

If you own one or several oriental rugs, it's often a good idea to let a professional clean them for several reasons, which we're going to discuss below.
