Removing Furnitire Depressions


     Furniture legs may cause depressions in your carpet if allowed to stay too long in one position. If furniture is moved, the carpet will spring up in time, but often can take weeks or even months.
      For immediate care, cover the furntiure depression with a damp cloth, steam with a warm iron and then brush the briskly with a coin or a kitchen butter knife that is not sharp. Correct professional cleaning will usually remove carpet depressions.

Mold, Mildew and Mitigation

We have all seem mold before. Mold is common and occurs naturally in a variety of envirments; even dry places such as deserts climates.  Getting rid of small amounts of mold can be simple if a  biocide, or anti-microbial is used.
There is a common misconception that bleach kills mold; however, this is not true. Bleach simply takes the color out of mold. If you have continually cleaned the same moldy spot with bleach over and over again, this statement proves ture.
    Small amounts of common mold can be easily cleaned by a homeowner. However, is you suspect a larger mold problem, it takes a professional to correctly clean the mold and prevent regrowth.
     If you suspect mold growth or have questions, email lauren@servproofgrandjunction.com.

Skunk Season Starts in Spring

     As the weather warms, little critters become active. Skunks are nocturnal animals but will come out from their dens as it becomes warmer outside.  Because they do not feed very much through the winter, they are now in search of food.
     Their activity will result in unpleasant odors. If you have encountered a skunk, SERVPRO of Grand Junction can help with odor detection and removal.
