Cleaning Tips from SERVPRO of Tracy

When changing batteries in your smoke alarms is too important of a thing to remember to put on a list with anything else.

So what about everything else?

Here are few tips from the SERVPRO of Tracy's cleaning team:

1. Wipe down your walls and ceilings: vacuum from top to bottom and remove dust.  If your walls are dirty (parents!) a mild detergent can bring new life.  SERVPRO Wall’ n All is our House Favorite and if you call us, we’ll bring you some. We can even clean the walls for you.  A mild detergent will add a subtle spring fresh scent to the room.
2. Vacuum and Shampoo rugs: 80% of what is coming out of your rugs is coming out from vacuuming.  We can help with the steam cleaning.  If you want to do it yourself, make sure you know what type of carpet you have and that it won’t be damaged by the process.   Call us either way if you have any concerns.
3. Change your Power Strips.  If they are older than the equipment plugged into them or if you can’t remember when you bought them, get new ones.  This is a big deal in fire prevention.
4. Inspect your Ducts: If your ducts haven’t been cleaned in a few years, or if you have pets, unscrew a duct, stick your phone in and take a picture or two.  If you don’t like what you see, Call Us.  We’ll schedule a duct cleaning.

If you do these few things, your home will feel as fresh as the Great Outdoors.  We’re here to help. Any questions call SERVPRO of Tracy 209-834-0200
