Steam v/s chemical carpet cleaners



Most people are still under the impression that cleaning a carpet means a weekly vacuuming. Although this can help clean carpets to a certain extent, they do not offer a full-fledged cleaning. Thus, it is important to invest in a thorough carpet cleaning service in order to rid the carpet of the dirt and grime that is lodged in every nook and cranny.
Over time, with use, carpets can get visibly dirty. It also begins to matt and if you are lax on carpet cleaning it can even start smelling bad as well. if you have pets or kids, the possibility of staining the carpets increases manifold. Even without any spills and tough stains, your carpet can take on an aged look pretty quickly. Hence it is recommended that you give your carpet a thorough cleaning at least twice a year. The two most common ways employed by professionals when deep cleaning carpets are steam and chemical cleaners.
Steam cleaning
Using hot steam to clean cloth fibers have been in use for centuries. The hot stem helps loosen dirt particles and the heat helps eliminate any underlying germs and pathogens. This is the perfect solution for a dirty carpet. Another aspect that favours steam cleaning is the short drying time. This greatly reduces chances of mold and mildew, thus keeping your home safe.

Chemical cleaning
This is a method that most people are familiar with. The carpet is washed with a slew of chemicals first, in order to remove dirt and grime. Then the carpet is thoroughly washed with water to help remove any traces of the cleaning chemicals. This is a considerably tough process when a heavy carpet needs to be cleaned. It also takes considerably longer to dry the carpet of all the residual water. However, the right kind of chemicals guarantee the elimination of pathogens and germs.

If you are planning on getting your carpet serviced, do ask your carpet cleaning technician about the method they will be using and choose one that suits your needs best.

Fixing a leaky radiator

The care radiator is a cooling component that is responsible for maintaining the temperature of the car engine at optimal levels. The radiator coolant is an integral part of the system and is primarily responsible for the cooling action. It is thus important to take any kind of coolant leak with a degree of seriousness. Any leak in the radiator can lead to inefficient cooling of the engine, thus resulting in subpar engine performance and even costly repairs if ignored in the long run. Frequent engine overheating is the best indicator of a faulty radiator. A sharp decrease in the coolant levels or leaky discharge under the car means you have a leak. It is best to check the entire cooling system for faulty even if you have found the intended leak in the radiator. Check the hoses, plugs and water pumps for leaks and faults. Any inflation on the hose indicates a weak spot and it should be fixed before it leads to more leaks. Fixing a radiator leak can be quite tricky and one should approach this problem with due diligence. It is best if you let a professional handle the repairs, as mechanics tend to have the right tools and expertise to provide viable solutions to faulty radiators. At Al Jalahma, we deal in a variety of high quality radiator coolants in Bahrain. For more information about our products and services, do visit our website at http://www.aljalahmaest.com/

Why is sludge formed in your radiator?

Some of the most common engine problems with your cars arise from improper cooling. Accumulation of sludge and slime is attributed to improper cooling factors of your radiators. If left unchecked, this sludge can seriously hamper the performance by overheating your engine, thus resulting in expensive repairs. Here are a few pointers on why sludge occurs in your radiator- One of the most common problems is with coolant additives, such as ethylene glycol or propylene glycol, that are mixed with the additives and water. These traditionally provide anti freeze and boil over protection, and also guard the radiator from corrosion and scaling. The problem arises when you mix incompatible additives, which can cause a bad reaction resulting in these problems. Mixing improper additives will also increase chances of corrosion. This, when left unchecked can result in sludge or slime. The best way to identify sludge within your radiator is to perform fluid analysis. This report will tell you if all the fluids within your system is in good working condition. It is recommended that you get one done at regular intervals, especially if your radiator seems to function at lesser efficiency. It is recommended that your use high quality coolant that used organic acid technology, which assures you of robustness. These types of coolants are also long lasting, and eliminate any kind of compatibility and scaling issues that are predominant with organic coolants.
