Here at Chem-Dry, we love our pets. They brighten up our day and theyre always there to support us, through thick and thin. However, they can make it a real challenge to keep your home clean, healthy and smelling fresh when pet accidents occur.
Not only is it difficult to deal with a pet urine accident once one has occurred, but its also tough to know where past accidents may have taken place, including accidents you may not have even known about. Using a special UV light, Chem-Dry can detect pet accidents in your home and eliminate pet urine odors from your carpets, rugs and upholstery through our revolutionary cleaning process called P.U.R.T. (Pet Urine Removal Treatment). P.U.R.T. contacts the source of the odor and immediately begins a chemical reaction that destroys the pet urine odor.Its shown excellent results on even the most severe pet urine damage.
An independent laboratory recently conducted multiple tests of our P.U.R.T. process to determine its effectiveness in treating pet urine odors and stains. In tests against the most common odor sources found in dog and cat urine, this study found that P.U.R.T. removes an average of 99.9% of pet urine odors from carpets. To go one step further, the study also tested Chem-Drys ability to eliminate the bacteria that can be found in pet urine. When used along with our HCE (Hot Carbonating Extraction) cleaning process and a sanitizer, the study found that P.U.R.T. removes an average of 99.2% of the bacteria from pet urine stains in carpets.
If not treated properly, the odor from pet accidents can travel through the entire home and impact your health and your happiness. The smell emitted from an accident area also often leads to repeat incidents in the same area until it is properly eliminated.
Pet urine in the carpet not only leaves an unsightly stain and an unpleasant odor, but it penetrates the fibers and contaminates both the carpet and the floor underneath. Thats why it can require specialized cleaning, well beyond just a simple cleaning and treating. The longer an incident goes untreated, the more likely the urine odor is to permeate deeper and deeper into floors, walls and even the framework and foundation of the home. As the urine dries, the liquid evaporates but the urine crystals become even more concentrated and pungent. Simple cleaning will not remove this odor.To help rid your home of the smells caused by pet urine, Chem-Dry applies P.U.R.T. specially designed to eliminate pet urine odors at their source. While most cleanings only masks the odor, Chem-Dry's revolutionary Pet Urine Removal Treatment works at the molecular level and destroys the urine crystals to fully eliminate the odor. With P.U.R.T., your most severe pet urine odors can be solved and your carpets, rugs and upholstery can be saved.
Our proprietary P.U.R.T. process is unparalleled in the industry. It'sspecifically formulated to break downmoleculesfound deep in the carpetthatarethe source of the odors.
First, our trained professional will do an inspection of your carpets with a special ultraviolet light. This light exposes any problem areas and odorous urine deposits that may not be visible to the naked eye.
Next, the carpet will be rinsed with our deep cleaning, patented Hot Carbonating Extraction cleaning process to remove any liquid or loose urine crystals.
Then, we apply our amazing odor removal product, P.U.R.T., to each stain.P.U.R.T. travels deep into the carpet pad and even the sub-floor reaching areas that typical cleaning products or process cannot reach.
Once applied, P.U.R.T. goes to work breaking down all of the odor-causing elements over the next 24 to 36 hours. When eachtreated areahas dried, the odor is gone for good.
At Chem-Dry, our goal is to clean for your health and the health of your family. We provide a healthier, longer-lasting clean for a happier home. P.U.R.T. and our other Healthy Home cleaning products aresafe and non-toxic for you, your children, and your pets.
At Chem-Dry, we clean for your health like no one else.

Hi! I'm Jennifer DeCristofano for About.com Home.
Keeping your carpet clean and looking fresh can be a real hassle when you have lots of foot traffic or animals running around the house but it is possible to keep looking good as new with a little carpet cleaning maintenance.
So today were going to go over a couple of helpful tips for short term maintenance and how to really clean those carpets with a steam cleaner.
To do this, you will need:
Next, mix the solution for your steam cleaner. Pour in 1-Cup of Carpet Cleaning Solution and fill up the rest of the compartment with hot water.
The important thing is to make sure that you're careful not to over-saturate the carpet. If you do, the carpet padding will become soaked and this could lead to mold problems later on.
Finally, try not to walk on the freshly steamed carpet area until the carpet is dry to the touch. You can check this by pushing your hand down slightly into the carpet. If your hand is still dry when you lift it up, its good to go! So there we have it, smells fresh and looks like new again!
Thank you for watching! For more information, visit us on the web at HomeGarden.About.com

Looking for a beautiful and affordable wood deck, composite deck or garden bridge? I design and build custom wood decks which reflect the architectural style of your home, whether you have a Spanish Colonial, a Craftsman bungalow, or a Contemporary style home in the Los Angeles area.
I focus on building structures that are not only beautiful, but excellent value for the money and built to last. The right craftsmanship, building techniques and materials make all the difference in whether your deck will last 5, 10 or 15 years.
That is one of the reasons why I do all the work myself, so I can control the quality of construction and you don't have to deal with crews of workmen you have never met. My clients also hate having construction start and stop and stretch out for weeks, so I build for one homeowner at a time and stay on your project until it is done - usually completing most projects in one to two weeks. And I create a unique design for each client which reflects the unique look and feel of your home and garden.
Below is my portfolio of wood deck photos, as well as pricing for decks in the Los Angeles area and a detailed deck design guide. I hope these will help you find the right builder and design a deck you will enjoy for years to come. For workmen that refinish or repair decks, see my related links.
My online portfolio features photos of my work so you can see the type and styles of wood and composite decks I can build. To see more details about a project, just click on a photo.
As a first step, I recommend that you look at lots of different decks to discover what you do and don't like. You can mix and match design ideas and functionality to create the perfect deck area. So take a look at the photos below and online. If you see what you want (or something close), we can use that as a starting point for a client inspired design. For even more design ideas, check out the resources below. Then read over my design guide to get a really good idea of what you want, and the budget you want to spend.
When you are ready to get started, contact me and we can set up an appointment to tour your location, discuss design options and establish a budget, so I can give you a detailed estimate.

The prices below are for well built wood or composite decks that look good and last for years. Unfortunately, not all wood decks are built well, and it can be difficult for a layman to tell the difference between a well built deck and one that will start having problems in a few years. Good quality material and hardware, combined with superior building skills, make all the difference.
The cost depends on the type of deck you are looking for: basic, custom or high end.
To get an idea of what it will cost, first measure (or estimate) the length and width. Multiply these together to get the square footage. This is the size of your new deck. Then pick a price range, and multiply by the low and high numbers. A more expensive wood or composite, built in benches, access gates, overhead arbors and special features can increase the cost.
You might be interested in reading comparing estimates for more information.
This design guide provides deck design ideas to help you develop a great design, select the best location, and identify the right deck material for needs and budget.
The style of your deck or bridge is created with design and construction components. By changing these key design elements and details, you can create a specific style or a totally unique design:
Your deck or bridge should harmonize with your garden landscaping, as well as the style of your home:
If your home has a distinctive architectural or artistic style, you may want to have your deck match it. For example:
In addition, the overall dimensions should also fit with the proportions of your home, garden, patio or stream. And if your deck encloses a tree or other landscaping, the final mature size of plants and trees should be factored into the design.
To make sure you are delighted with your custom deck -- you want to choose the right building material. In Los Angeles, the popular wood and composite choices allow you to make tradeoffs in terms of cost, quality, color, visual appearance, ease of maintenance and the ability to resist the elements (water, sun and pests).
You need to select materials for ...
The first type of wood to choose is for your substructure, the hidden framing you never see that is under your deck boards.
There are several popular choices for decking. Once you have chosen the boards, I pick the appropriate wood for your trim, posts and railings. Based on your needs and budget, I can build decks out of other woods and composite materials ... but these are the most popular.
If you need ideas and inspiration, check out these resources, clip magazine pictures, look through your vacation photos and keep an eye out for what you like in the neighborhood.
The more you know about what you like and don't the easier it is to create and build something you will be delighted with for years to come.
Here are a few books I recommend.

What You Need To Know About Cabinet Refacing
What is Cabinet Refacing? Cabinet refacing is a simple, affordable way to transform your kitchen. A conventional kitchen remodel can shut down your kitchen for months. Kitchen Magic Refacers, Inc, on the other hand, can make the changes you want, typically in four days or less.
We offer you a selection of genuine, hardwood cabinet doors in over 30 styles and more than 20 stains and paint colors. Your old cabinet doors and drawers will be removed and hauled away. The existing cabinet boxes are covered in a genuine, quarter-inch-thick wood veneer. We can make adjustments to the layout of your kitchen cabinets, convert drawers to cabinets and vice-versa. We can either work with your existing countertop, or install new granite, Corian, Silestone or laminate countertops.
Does refacing look as good as new? In fact, your kitchen cabinets will look even better than new. We will replace your cabinets and drawers with new, three-quarter-inch-thick handcrafted solid wood. Have you noticed that the sides of your cabinets are NOT wood and do not match the doors? All exterior woods are finished with the same superior finishes and wood as the door. The doors are solid wood with lasting beauty and durability.
How is it applied? Kitchen Magic Refacers, permanently secures prefinished hardwoods with hidden nails for problem-free and long lasting beauty. Sadly, most companies simply glue a plastic laminate material to the old surfaces. The glues today, due to ozone and health dangers, are water soluble.
What are cabinet doors made of? Solid, genuine hardwood. We offer Oak, Cherry, Birch and many other hard woods. We do not use furniture core, particleboard, MDF (medium density fiberboard), industrial grade wood, or Rigid Thermal Foil (RTF). RTF doors are no more than a heat shrink vinyl over particle board. Thousands of families have learned too late that the RTF doors can change color and curl up from heat and moisture.
Can changes be made to my kitchen design? Absolutely! Kitchen Magic Refacers can add cabinets, relocate cabinets, add roll out shelves, replace drawers, or move walls. In addition, we can extend cabinets to ceiling, install recessed lights, and install dishwashers. Our kitchen designers and craftsman can give you the kitchen you have always wanted, inexpensively refacing saves thousands over refinishing.
What are the pros and cons of refinishing or painting? Lets look at the science. You can paint anything, but paint does not adhere to wax, dirt, grease, laminate, or rigid thermo foil (RTF), oil based stains, melamine and a host of other products. Chipping, wash-ability and quality of the finish is the problem plus you are stuck with the same old hinges, door style, and wood.
The harsh chemicals use to prepare or clean the doors really cannot get the dirt, stains, or gummy varnish out of the pores of the wood. Getting a superior finish with new wood is difficult in itself. If you inspect the undersides and sides of your cabinets, you will find that these are melamine (vinyl clad chip board). Re-staining these non-wood products is not an option. Are there companies who offer these services? Sure, but what is their warranty and will they be around to honor the warranty? Our 30 years in the business says it is unlikely.
Is refacing less expensive than new cabinets? Several retailers would like you to believe kitchens only cost $15,000 to $20,000. This is the bait. The fact is that by the time you actually design all the parts needed for your kitchen, add delivery, tax, countertops, carpentry, wall repairs, painting, electrical and plumbing, their average cost will now be $35,000. And that was with builder grade cabinets!
Refacing is 1/3 of the cost and looks better than new. The second best reason to reface your kitchen is that it can typically be completed typically in four days or less, not weeks and without the mess.
Is there a design or estimate fee? No. Kitchen Magic Refacers designers invest their time and skills to help you meet your own kitchen needs at no charge. We listen to owners to understand each persons needs and wants (amazingly, even uninterested spouses offer excellent input.) Our designers then measure, present samples, and provide a no-obligation estimate. We do require that spouses and all owners attend. Its easy, informative, and accurate. Plus we show-up on time, install on time, and guarantee your satisfaction!
