The Couch They Almost Threw Out

5/2/2025

 

 Upholstery Cleaning in Ruidoso, NM

A Clean You Can Feel – CLC Extreme Clean LLC | (575) 937-4385
Julie and her husband had a couch they loved—a soft, cozy sectional they bought when they first moved to Ruidoso. Over the years, it became more than just furniture. It was where they watched movies, cuddled with their dog, and hosted holiday guests.
But life took its toll. Between spilled coffee, pet hair, and everyday use, their beloved couch had started to look... well, tired.
“We were so close to putting it out on the curb,” Julie admitted. “It was embarrassing to let anyone sit on it.”
That’s when she gave CLC Extreme Clean LLC a call.

Why Upholstery Needs Professional CleaningJust like carpets, your upholstery collects dust, allergens, and bacteria over time. And because many fabrics are delicate, they need specialized cleaning that won’t cause damage.
At CLC Extreme Clean LLC, we use safe, fabric-friendly cleaning solutions and extraction techniques to gently lift away years of grime, odors, and buildup—without soaking or damaging the furniture.

From “Worn Out” to “Wow”Julie was shocked when we showed her the before-and-after. The original color and texture of the couch came back to life. Stains disappeared, odors were neutralized, and everything felt soft and fresh again.
“It didn’t just look clean—it felt clean. Like a whole new couch.”

We Just Bought Our Dream Home in Alto

4/22/2025

 

But It Needed a Lot of TLC

CLC Extreme Clean LLC | Alto, NM | (575) 937-4385
When Emily and Jake bought their beautiful mountain retreat in Alto, NM, they were over the moon. The house had everything they wanted—a cozy living room with a stone fireplace, stunning mountain views, and plenty of space for their growing family. It was perfect.
But when they walked through the doors for the first time, they quickly realized that while the house had potential, it needed a lot of care to become the home of their dreams.
“It was a little overwhelming,” Emily said, smiling. “The house had been vacant for a while, and while it had all the charm, the floors and air ducts were in rough shape.”
From wrinkled carpet to dingy tile and musty air ducts, Emily and Jake knew they had a big job ahead. But what they didn’t realize was that the solution was just one call away--CLC Extreme Clean LLC.

The Carpet Was a Disaster –

But It Didn’t Have to Be Replaced
First, Emily and Jake tackled the carpet. The previous owners had left the home with sagging, wrinkled carpets—especially in the high-traffic areas like the hallway and living room. They figured they’d have to replace it, but then a neighbor suggested they call CLC Extreme Clean LLC for a professional carpet re-stretching and cleaning.
When our team arrived, we carefully re-stretched the carpet, pulling it tight and securing the edges. We then followed up with a deep steam cleaning that removed stains, dirt, and years of wear. By the end of the day, the carpet was not only smooth and wrinkle-free, but it also looked fresh and vibrant again.
“It felt like we were walking on a brand-new carpet,” Jake said. “We were so relieved we didn’t have to replace it after all.”

Tile and Grout Restoration: From Dull to DazzlingNext up was the kitchen and bathrooms. The tile floors were fine, but the grout lines were dark and stained, making the whole room look older than it was. Emily and Jake had tried scrubbing with various cleaners, but nothing worked.
We came in with our high-powered equipment to deep clean the tile and grout, using an eco-friendly cleaning solution that broke down years of grime. With a combination of hot water extraction and intense scrubbing, we restored the shine to their tile floors and brought the grout lines back to their original light color.
“We couldn’t believe how clean the grout was after you finished,” Emily said. “It looked so much brighter, and the floors felt so much cleaner.”

Air Duct Cleaning: Breathe Easy in Your New HomeAfter addressing the floors, it was time to turn our attention to the air ducts. Since the house had been vacant for some time, there was a noticeable buildup of dust and debris in the ducts. Emily had also noticed a musty smell whenever the heat kicked on.
We used professional equipment to thoroughly clean the ducts, removing dust, pet dander, and other allergens. With the air ducts cleaned, the airflow improved, and the musty smell was gone. The house felt fresher, and Emily and Jake could finally breathe easy.
“The air quality really improved,” Emily said. “We didn’t realize how much dust was in the ducts until we had them cleaned.”

We Thought the Tile Was Just Old

How One Ruidoso Home Got Its Shine Back

​
A Tile & Grout Cleaning Story from CLC Extreme Clean LLC | Call (575) 937-4385
When Susan and her husband bought their cozy home tucked into the pines of Ruidoso, NM, they fell in love with the charm—vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace, and a rustic tile floor that ran through the kitchen and bathrooms. But over the years, that tile lost its glow. No matter how much she mopped or scrubbed, the grout looked darker, dingier, and frankly—dirty.

“We thought the tile was just old,” Susan said.
“We were even thinking about ripping it out and replacing it.”

But before taking that expensive route, a neighbor recommended CLC Extreme Clean LLC,
a local company known for professional tile and grout cleaning.

Seeing Is Believing When our team arrived, the grout was almost black in some areas—years of foot traffic, spills, and everyday life had taken its toll. We explained that grout is porous—meaning it naturally absorbs dirt, grease, and bacteria over time, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Even the best mops can’t reach deep into those crevices.
Using our high-powered tile cleaning system, we applied eco-safe solutions that broke down buildup without damaging the tile itself. Then we used pressurized steam and suction to extract the grime—right out of the grout lines.
Within minutes, the results were jaw-dropping.
“We had no idea the grout was supposed to be that color,” Susan laughed. “It looks like a brand new floor!”

It's Not Just About Looks Sure, clean tile looks great—but it also matters for your family’s health. Built-up grime can harbor bacteria, mold, and allergens, especially in humid areas like bathrooms. Our cleaning not only restores the appearance of your floors, it improves the hygiene of your home.
We also sealed Susan’s grout after cleaning to help protect it from future stains and make everyday cleaning much easier.

This Could Be Your Story, Too We love giving Ruidoso homeowners those “wow” moments. Whether you live in a cabin in Alto, a vacation rental in Ruidoso Downs, or a full-time home in town, we can help you fall back in love with your tile floors.
You don’t need to replace them—you just need a deep, professional clean.

Beware of Dirty Patio Furniture

2/9/2025

 
Beware of Dirty Patio Furniture in Ruidoso & Alto, NM:
Restore Your Outdoor Space with CLC Extreme Clean LLC

As winter fades and the days get longer, many homeowners in Ruidoso and Alto, NM, realize their once-beautiful patio furniture has seen better days. Winter can be hard on outdoor furniture, whether it's metal, wood, plastic, or fabric. But don’t worry—spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your patio set. As experts in outdoor furniture cleaning, we’re here to show you how winter affects your patio furniture and, more importantly, how to restore it to its former glory.
The Winter Damage Report for Patio Furniture in Ruidoso & Alto, NM Here’s what winter might have done to your outdoor furniture:
Mold, Mildew, and Algae Growth If your furniture has been exposed to moisture over the winter, mold and mildew are almost guaranteed. Fabric cushions and umbrella covers are especially prone to mildew, while plastic and wooden surfaces may develop green algae, making them slippery and unsightly.
Rust and Corrosion Metal furniture is particularly vulnerable to rust during the winter months. When water and oxygen react with iron or steel, it causes rust to form, weakening the furniture’s structure and compromising its longevity.
Fading and Cracking Freezing temperatures and constant moisture can cause wood to crack and split, while plastic furniture may become brittle and faded. UV exposure—even during the winter—can cause cushions and painted surfaces to lose their color.
Dirt and Grime Buildup Throughout the winter, leaves, pollen, and dirt settle into every crevice of your furniture, leaving it looking dull and uninviting. Dust and moisture can accumulate even if your furniture is covered.
The Spring Fix for Your Patio Furniture in Ruidoso & Alto, NM Now for the good news: your patio furniture can be saved with a little spring cleaning! Here's how to bring it back to life:
Metal Furniture Use warm water and mild dish soap to clean dirt and grime off metal furniture. If rust has formed, lightly sand the affected areas and apply a rust-resistant primer before repainting.
Wood Furniture For wood furniture, clean it with a soft brush and a mixture of water and white vinegar to remove mold. Avoid pressure washing, as this can damage the wood fibers.
Plastic or Resin Furniture To clean plastic or resin furniture, use a baking soda paste to remove stubborn stains and restore the shine.
Cushions and Fabrics When it comes to cleaning fabric cushions or upholstery, it's best to leave the heavy lifting to the professionals. CLC Extreme Clean LLC offers expert fabric cleaning services to ensure your cushions are fresh, clean, and ready for the season.
Call CLC Extreme Clean LLC for Expert Patio Furniture Cleaning in Ruidoso & Alto, NM A little spring cleaning can go a long way in reviving your outdoor space and getting your patio furniture looking fresh and inviting for the warmer days ahead. However, when your patio set needs a deeper, professional cleaning, don't hesitate to contact CLC Extreme Clean LLC. Our team specializes in restoring outdoor furniture to its original beauty and can handle all the tough cleaning jobs. 575-937-4385

Beware of Hidden Water Damage in Ruidoso, NM

2/3/2025

 
Beware of Hidden Water Damage in Ruidoso, NM: Protect Your Home Before It’s Too Late
Water damage is one of the most common and damaging issues homeowners in Ruidoso face. While signs like stains or warped floors are easy to spot, hidden water damage often goes unnoticed, causing significant harm to your home’s structure and your family’s health.
The Hidden Dangers of Water Damage in Ruidoso, NMHidden water damage can stem from leaky pipes, faulty plumbing, roof leaks, or even natural disasters. The danger lies in the fact that it often goes undetected for months or even years, silently wreaking havoc on your home. Here’s why hidden water damage is a serious concern:
Mold Growth and Health RisksThe dark, damp spaces created by undetected water leaks are ideal environments for mold growth. Mold spores can spread quickly, contaminating the air and causing severe health issues, including allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems. If left untreated, mold damage can lead to expensive remediation and restoration costs.
Structural DamageWater hidden behind walls, under floors, or in ceilings can weaken the foundation of your home. Over time, this damage can rot wood, erode drywall, and cause sagging ceilings, warped walls, and unstable floors. In extreme cases, this can lead to wall collapses or foundation cracks, posing significant safety risks to your family.
Financial BurdenIgnoring hidden water damage can result in costly repairs. Many insurance policies will not cover damage that isn’t reported immediately, leaving homeowners to shoulder the full cost of repairs. The longer water damage is left unaddressed, the more expensive and extensive the repairs will be.
How to Prevent Hidden Water Damage in Your Ruidoso HomeTo safeguard your home, consider these proactive measures:
  • Regular Inspections: Check for damp spots, stains, or musty odors in moisture-prone areas like basements, bathrooms, and under sinks.
  • Monitor Plumbing: Inspect pipes, faucets, and appliances like dishwashers and washing machines for leaks.
  • Proper Ventilation: Ensure bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are well-ventilated to prevent moisture buildup.
  • Gutter Maintenance: Keep gutters and downspouts clear to prevent water from accumulating near your home’s foundation.
  • Invest in Detection Tools: Use moisture detectors or hire professionals for periodic inspections to catch hidden issues early.
Don’t Wait—Call a Professional for Water Damage Restoration in RuidosoHidden water damage is a silent threat that can cause significant harm to your home and your health. Preventing it is always more cost-effective than dealing with costly repairs. If you suspect water damage, don’t hesitate to contact your trusted disaster restoration company in Ruidoso. They’ll help detect and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Beware of Dryer Vent Fires in Ruidoso & Alto

2/3/2025

 
Beware of Dryer Vent Fires in Ruidoso & Alto, NM: Protect Your Home with CLC Extreme Clean LLC
Most homeowners know the importance of cleaning the lint trap after every load of laundry, but many overlook the dryer vent. After a long winter of handling bulky sweaters, blankets, and extra laundry, your dryer might be more prone to a dangerous hazard: dryer vent fires. In fact, clogged dryer vents are one of the leading causes of house fires, causing millions of dollars in damage and even loss of life each year.
With spring cleaning around the corner, now is the perfect time to inspect, clean, and protect your home from this serious, yet preventable, fire risk.

Why Are Dryer Vent Fires Common in Ruidoso & Alto, NM? Dryers expel moisture through vents by pushing hot air through wet clothes. Over time, lint and debris accumulate inside the vent system, creating a highly flammable blockage. During the winter months, when windows stay shut and drying time is longer, lint buildup happens faster. The flammable nature of lint, restricted airflow, and the potential for birds and pests to nest inside vents all contribute to this hidden fire hazard.

Signs You Need a Dryer Vent Cleaning  If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s time to take action:
  • Clothes take longer to dry than usual.
  • The dryer feels excessively hot to the touch.
  • A burning smell emanates while the dryer is running.
  • Excessive lint appears behind or around the dryer.
  • The vent flap outside doesn’t open properly when the dryer is on.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s critical to clean your dryer vent immediately.

How to Clean Your Dryer Vent Safely
  1. Turn off and unplug your dryer: If you have a gas dryer, turn off the gas supply as well.
  2. Move the dryer away from the wall: This allows you access to the vent hose.
  3. Disconnect the vent hose: Use a screwdriver to loosen the vent clamp and carefully remove the hose from the back of the dryer.
  4. Clean the vent hose: Use a vacuum with a hose attachment or a specialized dryer vent brush to remove lint from the hose and the duct leading outside.
  5. Clean the outside vent opening: Go outside to the vent opening and remove any lint, dirt, or potential nests blocking the airflow. Ensure the vent flap moves freely.
  6. Reconnect the vent hose: Secure the clamp and push the dryer back into place. Run the dryer on an empty cycle for 5-10 minutes to check for proper airflow.
Call in the Professionals from CLC Extreme Clean LLC If you’re unsure about cleaning your dryer vent yourself, or if you prefer professional assistance, CLC Extreme Clean LLC offers expert dryer vent cleaning services in Ruidoso and Alto, NM. Our team can safely and thoroughly clean your dryer vent system to prevent the risk of fire.
What to Do If a Fire Occurs If a dryer vent fire does happen, you’ll need immediate help from a restoration company. CLC Extreme Clean LLC specializes in fire damage restoration and can guide you through the recovery process. Always act quickly—professional restoration services are essential to getting your home back to normal.

Ruidoso! Fire Damage Restoration Tips

1/3/2025

 
Beware of Doing THIS After a Kitchen Fire in Ruidoso! Fire Damage Restoration Tips
A kitchen fire can be terrifying and overwhelming for homeowners in Ruidoso. After the flames are out, it's tempting to jump into cleanup or repairs. However, rushing into things can lead to further damage, health risks, or issues with your insurance claim. It's essential to approach fire recovery with caution and avoid common mistakes.
What Not to Do After a Fire in RuidosoDon’t Re-enter Without ClearanceAfter a kitchen fire, it may be tempting to go back into your home to assess the damage. However, re-entering too soon without clearance from fire officials can be dangerous. There may be hidden structural damage, lingering smoke, or hazardous air quality. Always wait for professionals to confirm it’s safe to re-enter.
Don’t Attempt DIY CleanupSmoke and soot damage requires specialized knowledge and equipment. Attempting to clean walls, cabinets, or appliances yourself can worsen the damage and may cause permanent staining. Instead, reach out to a professional fire damage restoration company in Ruidoso. Their experts can handle the cleanup process safely and efficiently.
Don’t Use Damaged AppliancesEven if they seem to be working, any appliances exposed to heat, smoke, or water should be inspected by a qualified technician before use. Fire damage can affect the electrical components of appliances, making them unsafe and increasing the risk of short circuits or electrical fires.
Don’t Ignore Air QualityAfter a fire, the air in your home may contain harmful particles like soot, ash, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These pollutants can cause respiratory issues and other health problems. Avoid staying in the affected area until the air has been professionally cleaned and purified.
Don’t Skip DocumentationBefore any cleaning or repairs begin, document all the damage. Take detailed photos and videos of affected areas and create an inventory of damaged items. This will help ensure your insurance claim goes smoothly and prevents complications down the line.
What You Should Do After a Kitchen Fire
  • Contact your insurance company immediately to begin the claims process.
  • Hire a professional disaster restoration company to assist with fire damage cleanup and restoration.
  • Prioritize safety: Don't try to do it all yourself. Experts can guide you through the recovery process and help restore your home to its pre-fire condition.
Why You Need a Professional Fire Damage Restoration CompanyFires in Ruidoso or anywhere else can leave significant damage behind, and the recovery process can be complicated. Calling a professional disaster restoration company can ensure that the damage is handled correctly, and that your home is safe for re-entry.

Beware of Winter Invasions in Ruidoso!

1/1/2025

 


Carpet Cleaning Tips

​ to Keep Your Home Clean This Season

​Winter in Ruidoso N.M. brings beautiful snow, but it also brings unwanted dirt, sludge, and grime. From snowy boots to road salt and dripping umbrellas, your home can quickly become a mess. But don’t worry—there are simple strategies to help protect your home and carpets, ensuring that you’re ready to enjoy a clean, welcoming space as the season changes. 
The Winter-Ready Entryway Your entryway is the first line of defense against winter mess. To keep your floors clean and your carpets protected, place heavy-duty doormats both inside and outside your door to catch dirt and moisture. Add a shoe rack or boot tray near the entrance to keep wet and dirty shoes organized. Encourage your family and guests to remove their shoes as they enter your home to prevent the spread of dirt.
Create a Winter Cleaning Kit Having a dedicated winter cleaning kit by the door can help you quickly tackle any mess. Include a small broom, dustpan, microfiber mop, and an all-purpose cleaner. Cleaning up spills and tracking as they happen will prevent dirt from spreading to other areas, including your carpets.
Protect Your Floors & Carpets During winter, protecting your floors is essential. Use washable rugs and hallway runners to shield high-traffic areas. For more delicate flooring or carpets, consider adding plastic mats or easy-to-clean area rugs that catch dirt and moisture. This helps maintain your carpets and reduces the need for professional Ruidoso carpet cleaning services.
Keep Pets in Check Pets often track in snow, mud, and moisture. Before allowing them inside, make it a habit to wipe their paws with a towel or use a pet-safe paw cleaner. Keep a mat or towel near the door for extra messy days. This will reduce the amount of dirt and moisture that ends up on your floors and carpets.
Regular Carpet and Floor Maintenance In winter, vacuuming and mopping more frequently is crucial to keep your home clean. Focus on areas like entryways, mudrooms, and high-traffic zones. Don’t forget to check for salt stains, dirt, or debris that might damage your carpets over time. This proactive approach will save you from costly carpet cleaning services later on.
Prepare for Spring Cleaning Early Thinking ahead can make spring cleaning a breeze! Begin by decluttering and organizing areas prone to winter buildup. Taking care of small messes now will reduce the amount of cleaning required when spring arrives. Plus, maintaining your carpets now will ensure they’re ready for the warmer months.
When to Call in the Pros Winter cleaning can be overwhelming, especially when your carpets need extra attention. If your carpets have taken a beating from the snow, mud, or road salt, it’s time to call in a professional carpet cleaning company in Ruidoso. Experts can handle deep cleaning, stain removal, and freshening up your home for the new season. CLC Extreme Clean LLC

Beware of Ice Dams in Ruidoso!

12/29/2024

 

 Essential Tips to Protect Your Home This Winter

Picture
 As winter approaches in Ruidoso, homeowners must prepare for the challenges cold weather can bring. One significant threat that every Ruidoso homeowner should be aware of is the formation of ice dams. If not properly addressed, ice dams can cause costly damage to your roof, gutters, and even the interior of your home.
What Are Ice Dams?Ice dams occur when snow on your roof melts due to uneven heat distribution in the attic, then refreezes along the roof’s edges. This forms an ice barrier that prevents melted snow from draining off the roof. Water backs up behind the ice dam, seeping under shingles and into your home, potentially causing leaks, mold growth, and extensive structural damage.
Why Are Ice Dams Dangerous? Ice dams can cause a variety of serious problems. They can damage the roof, gutters, and cause water leaks that penetrate the insulation, walls, and ceilings of your home. This moisture can lead to mold growth, which can compromise your home's structure and pose health risks. In severe cases, ice dams can damage ceilings, walls, and floors, leading to expensive repairs.  

How to Prevent Ice Dams in Ruidoso: Proactive Steps Every Homeowner Should Take To avoid the costly damage caused by ice dams, follow these simple steps to protect your home this winter in Ruidoso:

1. Ensure Proper Insulation in Your Attic The root cause of ice dams is uneven roof temperatures, often due to poor attic insulation. Ensure your attic is well-insulated and ventilated to maintain a consistent temperature across the roof. This helps prevent heat from escaping through the roof, reducing the chances of snow melting and refreezing into ice dams.
2. Clean Your Gutters Before Winter Hits Before winter weather sets in, make sure to clean your gutters of leaves, debris, and blockages. A clean gutter system will allow melted snow to flow freely, preventing ice buildup along the edges of your roof.
3. Use a Roof Rake After Snowfalls After heavy snowfalls, use a roof rake to remove snow, especially near the eaves of your roof. This simple action reduces the chances of snow melting and refreezing, which forms ice dams. Regular roof snow removal is essential in areas like Ruidoso, where heavy snowfalls are common.
4. Consider Installing Heat Cables If you live in Ruidoso or surrounding areas with harsh winters, consider installing heat cables along the edges of your roof. These cables help maintain a consistent temperature and prevent ice from forming, which can significantly reduce the risk of ice dams.
5. Act Quickly If You Notice Ice Dams Forming If you see signs of an ice dam forming on your roof, take action immediately to remove the ice safely or contact a local professional. The sooner you address the problem, the less damage your home will sustain.
What to Do If Ice Dams Cause Damage to Your Home in Ruidoso If ice dams cause structural or moisture-related damage to your home, don't wait. Contact a professional restoration company in Ruidoso immediately. Experts can assess and repair water damage, mold issues, and any structural problems caused by ice dams. For homeowners in Ruidoso, professional restoration services can help prevent further damage and ensure your home is safe and dry throughout the winter.

Beware of Garbage Disposal Smells in Ruidoso:

12/29/2024

 


How to Keep Your Disposal Fresh and Clean

Picture
 
​Garbage disposals are a convenient way to break down food waste, but if not maintained properly, unpleasant odors can develop over time. Homeowners in Ruidoso New Mexico should be aware that food particles, grease, and bacteria can accumulate inside the disposal, leading to unwanted smells that can spread throughout your kitchen.
Why Does My Garbage Disposal Smell in Ruidoso? Food scraps, grease, and organic debris can get trapped in the sides and crevices of the garbage disposal. Over time, these particles decompose, allowing bacteria and mold to develop, which causes foul odors. Leftover grease and fat can harden, creating a coating on the blades and walls of the disposal, which is difficult to remove and contributes to unpleasant smells.
How to Keep Your Garbage Disposal Fresh and Odor-Free in Ruidoso N.M. Maintaining your garbage disposal properly can prevent unpleasant smells from invading your kitchen. Here are some simple steps to keep your disposal fresh and clean:
1. Run the Disposal Frequently To prevent odors, run your garbage disposal regularly, even when no food waste is added. This simple practice helps clear away any particles that may have settled inside, ensuring the blades remain clean. Regular use will keep your disposal in good working condition and prevent food buildup that can cause foul smells.
2. Clean with Natural Solutions Regular cleaning is essential for eliminating garbage disposal odors. Pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the disposal, which helps break down any buildup inside. Let the solution sit for a few minutes, then rinse with hot water. To freshen the disposal and deodorize naturally, grind up citrus peels, such as lemon or orange. This process will clean the blades while leaving a fresh scent.
3. Deep Clean the Blades If odors persist, a deep clean may be necessary. Add ice cubes and coarse salt to the disposal and grind them together. The abrasive action of the ice and salt will dislodge stuck food particles and grime, giving your disposal a thorough cleaning. This deep-cleaning method can help scrape away the buildup causing the smell.
4. Avoid Certain Foods To keep your garbage disposal odor-free and in good working condition, avoid putting fibrous materials (such as celery or corn husks) or starchy foods (like pasta and potato peels) into the disposal. These items can get stuck in the blades or cause blockages, leading to bad smells and potential clogs.
Why Garbage Disposal Maintenance is Important in Ruidoso By following these simple tips, homeowners in Ruidoso can keep their garbage disposals fresh, clean, and odor-free. Regular maintenance prevents foul smells and extends the life of your disposal, ensuring it works efficiently year-round.
Need Help with Specialized Cleaning in Ruidoso? Call a Pro! In addition to keeping your garbage disposal fresh, sometimes you need help with specialized cleaning tasks. Whether it’s carpet cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, or furniture care in Ruidoso New Mexico, call your trusted local cleaning company for expert assistance. When it comes to tough cleaning jobs, it always pays to call a professional!

How to Effectively Remove Marijuana Odor

12/23/2024

 
Marijuana Odor Removal: Why It's Important and How We Can Help
Marijuana odor can be stubborn and pervasive, lingering in your home, office, or vehicle long after the smoke has cleared. Whether you're a marijuana enthusiast or simply want to eliminate the lingering smell from a recent visit or event, CLC Extreme Clean LLC offers professional marijuana odor removal services to restore a fresh, clean environment.
In this blog post, we’ll discuss why marijuana odor removal is important, how it affects your space, and the most effective ways to get rid of it. Let’s dive in!

Why Is Marijuana Odor So Hard to Get Rid Of?
Marijuana smoke contains strong-smelling compounds called terpenes. These compounds can easily attach to surfaces like carpets, furniture, walls, and even the air, causing the smell to linger for days or even weeks. Because marijuana odors can penetrate deeply into fabrics, furniture, and upholstery, regular air fresheners and cleaning methods often fail to fully eliminate the scent.
Whether you’ve recently smoked indoors or want to prepare a space for new tenants, marijuana odor removal requires a deep, thorough cleaning to ensure the air is fresh and your environment is comfortable again.
How CLC Extreme Clean LLC Can Help With Marijuana Odor Removal
At CLC Extreme Clean LLC, we specialize in comprehensive odor removal services, including marijuana odor. Our expert team uses the latest cleaning technology and eco-friendly products to safely and effectively eliminate odors from all surfaces in your home or business.
Here’s how we approach marijuana odor removal:
  1. Detailed Inspection and Assessment:
    Before beginning the cleaning process, we thoroughly inspect your space to identify the areas most affected by the odor. We check carpets, upholstery, walls, air vents, and other surfaces that may have absorbed the smell.
  2. Air Purification:
    Marijuana smoke can linger in the air long after the event. We use advanced air purification systems to filter out smoke particles and refresh the air in your home or business. Our odor neutralizing techniques ensure that the air feels clean, fresh, and breathable.
  3. Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning:
    Our professional steam cleaning service uses high-temperature water and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to deep clean carpets, rugs, and upholstery. This process effectively lifts trapped marijuana odor from fabric fibers, leaving them fresh and free of smell.
  4. Surface and Wall Cleaning:
    Walls and other hard surfaces can trap marijuana odor, especially if the smoke has been present for an extended period. We use specialized cleaning products designed to remove even the toughest odors from painted walls, windows, doors, and other surfaces.
  5. Deodorizing Treatments:
    After cleaning, we apply a long-lasting deodorizing treatment to help neutralize any remaining odors. This treatment ensures that your space smells fresh and clean for longer, without any harsh chemicals or overpowering fragrances.
  6. Ongoing Maintenance:
    To keep marijuana odors at bay, we recommend scheduling regular cleanings for your carpets, upholstery, and air ducts. Regular maintenance ensures that your home or business remains fresh and odor-free for months to come.

How to Keep Your Carpets Clean in Ruidoso, NM:

12/23/2024

 

Your carpets are an essential part of your home or business. They add warmth, comfort, and style to any room. However, they also collect dust, dirt, and allergens over time, leading to a buildup that can affect the air quality in your home. That's where CLC Extreme Clean LLC in Ruidoso, NM, comes in. We specialize in providing top-notch carpet cleaning services for both residential and commercial properties.
In this post, we’ll share helpful tips on how to keep your carpets clean and fresh between professional cleanings. Read on for expert advice on carpet care from the trusted professionals at
CLC Extreme Clean LLC !

1. Vacuum Regularly to Maintain Cleanliness
One of the easiest ways to prolong the life of your carpets is by vacuuming regularly. Dirt and debris can accumulate on your carpets, causing wear and tear. Regular vacuuming removes dust and particles, preventing them from embedding into the fibers.
We recommend vacuuming high-traffic areas of your home or business at least 2-3 times a week. For less-frequented areas, vacuum once a week.

2. Address Stains Immediately
Spills happen, but it’s important to act quickly to prevent stains from setting into your carpets. Blot the spill with a clean cloth and avoid scrubbing, as this can damage the fibers. If the stain persists, call CLC Extreme Clean LLC for professional stain removal services in Ruidoso, NM. Our team has the tools and expertise to remove even the toughest stains.

3. Schedule Regular Professional Cleanings
While regular vacuuming helps keep your carpets clean, a deep cleaning from a professional is essential. CLC Extreme Clean LLC provides carpet cleaning services in Ruidoso, NM, that remove deep-set dirt, allergens, and bacteria. We use eco-friendly, pet-safe products and advanced equipment to leave your carpets spotless and fresh.
Professional cleaning not only improves the appearance of your carpets but also extends their lifespan. We recommend scheduling a deep cleaning at least once every 6-12 months.

4. Use Area Rugs and Mats
To reduce the wear on your carpets, consider using area rugs or mats in high-traffic areas. These can protect your carpets from dirt, moisture, and stains while also adding a touch of style to your space. Be sure to clean your area rugs regularly and rotate them to ensure even wear.

5. Protect Your Carpets from Sun Damage
Did you know that direct sunlight can cause your carpets to fade over time? To protect your carpets from sun damage, consider using curtains or blinds to block the sun’s rays, especially during the hottest parts of the day. This will help maintain your carpets’ color and extend their life.


Keeping your carpets clean and fresh in Ruidoso, NM, requires regular care and maintenance. Whether you need routine vacuuming, stain removal, or professional carpet cleaning, CLC Extreme Clean is here to help. Our expert carpet cleaners use state-of-the-art equipment and eco-friendly solutions to ensure your carpets look their best.

Ruidoso Beware of Cold Weather!

10/17/2024

 
As colder weather approaches, Ruidoso homeowners must prepare their homes for winter. Lack of necessary maintenance can result in costly repairs, inadequate heating, and unpleasant seasonal surprises. However, if you take the time to get your home winterized, many such complaints can be avoided.
 
Seal leaked windows and doors
 
Understandably, drafts are among the top reasons for high winter heating bills—cold air seeps in through the gaps around windows and doors, making your heating system fight hard. You must check all your windows and doors for cracks or gaps in the seal. Apply caulking or weather-stripping to seal these areas and keep warm air where it belongs.
 
Heating system check
 
Before winter, it is essential to ensure your heating system is working as it should be. This means scheduling a professional inspection and cleaning of your furnace. Regular maintenance will prevent unexpected breakdowns, so your system will run efficiently and save you money in the long run. If you use a fireplace or wood stove, now is also a great time to have those inspected and cleaned to avoid fire hazards.
 
Insulate pipes
 
Frozen pipes can be a homeowner's nightmare, generally creating thousands of dollars in water damage when they burst. Avoid all that by insulating your pipes in areas most susceptible to freezing, such as basements, attics, and crawl spaces. Use foam pipe insulation or old towels wrapped around exposed pipes.
 
Clean gutters and downspouts
 
When gutters build up, it can cause major issues when winter hits. Water in congested gutters may freeze, damaging your roof and allowing water into your home. Clean your gutters and downspouts before the first freeze to make sure they are free of leaves and other debris. This lets water flow freely from your home, which can prevent ice dams and other winter issues.
 
Stock up
 
Finally, prepare for winter storms by stocking up on essential supplies. These would include salt or sand for icy walkways, a snow shovel, and blankets in case of power outages. It's also good to service your snow removal equipment, such as snow blowers, and have them ready before the first snowfall.

Ruidoso: Beware of Cold Weather!
As winter approaches in Ruidoso, it's essential to stay prepared for the chilly temperatures and potential snow. Here are some tips to help you navigate the cold weather safely:
1. Dress in Layers
  • Wear multiple layers to trap heat, including thermal undergarments, sweaters, and a warm coat.
2. Protect Your Extremities
  • Don’t forget hats, gloves, and scarves to keep your head, hands, and neck warm.
3. Check Weather Updates
  • Stay informed about changing weather conditions to plan your activities accordingly.
4. Winterize Your Vehicle
  • Ensure your car is ready for winter with antifreeze, a full tank of gas, and snow tires if needed.
5. Stay Hydrated
  • Even in cold weather, staying hydrated is important, as dry air can dehydrate you quickly.
6. Be Cautious Outdoors
  • Watch for icy conditions and use salt or sand on walkways to prevent slips.
Stay warm and safe in Ruidoso this winter!

Of course, if something happens to your home and you need to be rescued, do the right thing and call your favorite restoration company. After all, it pays to call a pro! CLC Extreme Clean 575-937-4385

Beware of Ring Around the Collar!

10/17/2024

 
For anyone who wears dress shirts regularly, one of the biggest frustrations is dealing with ring around the collar. Many assume that removing this stubborn stain is nearly impossible, but it’s quite manageable with the proper techniques.
 
Here are a few tried-and-true methods that not only help you remove ring around the collar but can also prevent it from returning.
 
1. Shampoo Treatment
 
A simple and effective way to tackle ring around the collar is by using shampoo. The oils and grime accumulating on collars resemble what builds up in your hair, which shampoo is designed to remove. Before tossing your shirt in the hamper, apply a small amount of shampoo directly onto the stain. Allow it to sit until laundry day. When you wash the shirt as usual, the shampoo has worked its magic, making the stain easier to remove. This is an excellent option for tackling dirt buildup without requiring specialized products.
 
2. Pretreatments
 
Another highly effective solution is using a cleaner made specifically for pre-treating laundry. You can see several options at your favorite department store. These powerful cleaning products work wonders on stubborn stains like ring around the collar. Spray the affected area, let it sit for a few minutes, and then launder the shirt. These products are usually bleach-free, making it safe for most fabrics. You may need to repeat the process two or three times for tougher, set-in stains.
 
3. Oxygen
 
Oxygen-boosting agents are another excellent option for removing the ring around the collar. Oxygen boosters are a type of color-safe bleach. To use, spray the collar with the mixed oxygen treatment, allow to dwell for a few minutes, and then wash as usual. After washing, if you still see any residue, repeat the process until the collar is clean.
 
4. Prevention
 
Preventing ring around the collar is easier than you think. Good hygiene and regular showering is essential. Because of this simple fact, you see more ring around the color with children than adults, as kids are more active and may not shower as often.
 
With these methods, removing and preventing a ring around the collar is a task everyone can handle. Using these tips is easy and efficient.
 
And when you have specialty cleaning tasks you can’t handle alone, do the right thing and call your favorite cleaning company. They can handle carpet, floors, and more.

Beware of Leaky Pipes!

9/8/2024

 
Picture
Leaky pipes, often dismissed as minor inconveniences, can rapidly develop into significant problems, causing extensive water damage, structural issues, and mold growth. While most tips on water damage restoration focus on large losses, such as a burst pipe or storm damage, don’t ignore those small drips you may notice from time to time.

What starts as a small drip can lead to expensive repairs if not promptly addressed. Water seeping into materials like wood, drywall, and flooring can weaken them over time, resulting in warping, rotting, and even structural collapse. Also, leaking pipes create the perfect environment for mold, which damages your home and poses serious health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory issues.

The financial impact of ignoring a leaky pipe can be substantial. A minor repair, if addressed early, can prevent the need for significant renovations later. Persistent leaks damage your home's structure and can lead to higher utility bills due to wasted water and potentially increased insurance premiums if the issue is left unresolved for too long.

Regular inspection of your plumbing system is critical to avoiding these problems. Homeowners should be vigilant for signs of leaks, such as water stains, dampness, or a musty odor. Early detection can prevent minor issues from becoming large, costly disasters. Installing water leak detectors in vulnerable areas can also provide an early warning before significant damage occurs.

When a leak is detected, it’s essential to act quickly. While it might be tempting to attempt a do-it-yourself repair, hiring a professional plumber ensures that the root cause is identified and adequately addressed. Professional intervention not only fixes the immediate problem but also helps prevent future issues, providing a long-term solution. No one wants to fix a leaky pipe, and then when on a long vacation, something terrible happens. Don’t become a victim.

Really, leaky pipes are more than just a minor nuisance—they are a potential source of significant damage to your home. By taking preventive measures and addressing leaks as soon as they are detected, homeowners can protect their property from extensive damage and avoid costly repairs. Proactive maintenance and timely repairs are the best defense against the high costs of water damage and structural deterioration caused by leaky pipes.

When you do have an issue involving any type of water damage, call your favorite restoration company.

Beware of Moldy Ductwork!

7/11/2024

 
As a homeowner, your first responsibility is to ensure your living environment is safe and comfortable. Yet, and don’t feel bad if this is you, most homeowners think very little about mold that may be lurking in air ducts.

While individuals know what mold looks like on walls and ceilings and can do something about it, what they can’t see is what can hurt them—what is inside the air ducts, affecting their health and home atmosphere.

Mold in air ducts can be a sneaky invader, typically found in the smell of musty air before it's seen. Even when mold isn't easily traced, its presence can still be felt through other health symptoms, like coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, skin irritation, difficulty breathing, headaches, and other symptoms common in allergies.

Continued exposure may enhance the symptoms more and may also lead to several profound health implications in people with pre-existing respiratory diseases and allergies to molds.

Mold thrives best in a warm, moist environment, quickly supplied by air ducts in your home. This is usually much worse if your house has poor ventilation or some reoccurring severe dampness. Acting fast to identify and rectify mold in ducts is paramount in stopping it from becoming an entire infestation throughout the rest of your house and creating even more health problems.

Once you have determined that mold is present in your air ducts, it's time to act. Cleaning your air ducts without proper training and equipment is just not practical. Hiring a professional restoration company for mold removal will ensure that it is done safely and effectively. Professionals use specialized tools and products to eliminate mold and prevent its return. Find a mold removal company that adheres to industry guidelines, such as those specified by the National Air Duct Cleaning Association (NADCA).

When your company of choice is performing the necessary duct cleaning and mold removal steps, ask questions. This is a good time to think about preventive steps. You don’t want a repeat of more mold in your ductwork. Listen to the professionals and invest in a preventative maintenance program to catch problems early. This may be reducing humidity and more monitoring of your air ducts moving forward.

The pros are here to help you with these important cleaning tasks, especially those that are impossible for you to do yourself. Call your favorite cleaning and restoration company. After all, it pays to call a pro! CLC Extreme Clean LLC 575-937-4385

Ruidoso Beware of Dirty Carpet!

6/15/2024

 
A clean floor is a healthy floor. Yet many neglect cleaning one of the most common surfaces — carpeted floors. There are many reasons to beware of dirty carpet!
 
While “clean” has primarily been directed at surfaces, what is hiding or that lies beneath, such as what can be in your carpet, is potentially harmful. If you have a significant amount of carpet in your home, it’s your biggest filter, and it collects a lot of dust, dander, and allergens.

 
Look at your carpet from several angles. It’s a significant part of your home décor, it’s comfortable, it’s acoustical, among other great qualities. But it is also a reservoir for soil.
 
Carpets may trap allergens like pollen, house dust mites, mold, animal dander, and microscopic parts of insects. These may cause allergic symptoms such as sneezing, red and itchy eyes, a runny nose, or breathing discomfort. This can become a serious health issue, especially for people with developing or advanced respiratory conditions.
 
The situation is sometimes aggravated when improper vacuuming loosens particles into the air, which may cause instant allergic reactions. Dirty carpet carries harmful bacteria from a variety of sources. And this can be more threatening for children and pets because they are in contact with carpet for an extended period.
 
Moreover, spills or pet urine, in particular, foster mold growth, expanding the potential health hazards through gut health and possibly acting as a repository for potential toxins. This can lead to microbial activity, causing carpet fiber damage, and can impact overall immunity in those you love. High microbial contamination in an environment like a dirty carpet causes the body's immune system to work more to fend off possible infections. Skin contact with dirty carpet can also cause irritations and infections like athlete's foot or worsen preexisting skin problems, such as eczema.
 
It is essential to recognize potential issues and do the right thing: Keep your carpet clean. It’s just like any other surface. It would be unheard of to go a year without sweeping and mopping your hard floors. Imagine a bathroom floor going weeks or months… you get the picture. Why allow the carpet to go that long between cleanings?
 
While you should beware of dirty carpet, you should embrace clean carpet. Do the right thing right now. Call your favorite cleaning company and book your cleaning appointment. While you are at it, book some furniture cleaning, too. After all, it pays to call a pro!

Determined to Degrease

5/1/2024

 
Determined to Degrease

Have you seen yellow spots on the edges of your toaster, oven hood, or grills? You might wonder how it got there in the first place?
 
Contrary to what you might think, these marks don't result from burning or heat—they're likely congealed cooking grease. But how do you tackle grease solidified on appliance surfaces, seemingly impervious to traditional cleaning methods?
 
Here's how to banish stubborn yellow grease from your kitchen appliances.
 
While a selection of degreasing products is available, you can also whip up effective solutions using items you already have at home. However, before using any product—store-bought or homemade—ensure compatibility with the surface of the appliance you are to clean. To avoid adverse reactions, test the solution on a small, inconspicuous area first.
 
Mix half a cup of dish soap, three tablespoons of ammonia, and half a gallon of warm water to create your degreaser. Apply this mixture generously to the appliance, using an absorbent cloth (do not soak electronic appliances, obviously, and make sure whatever you work on is unplugged), allowing it to soak for a few minutes, depending on the amount of the soil. Afterward, carefully scrub the area with a pad or brush, avoiding abrasive or metal scrubbers to prevent surface scratches. Finally, rinse the area with soap and water, then dry with a paper towel.
 
Another effective solution is WD-40. Apply it to the affected area and scrub the grease using a pad or brush. Then, wash the grease and WD-40 off with soap and warm water for a sparkling clean finish.
 
Of course, the best defense against stubborn grease buildup is prevention. Make it a habit to wipe down your appliances regularly, especially after cooking sessions that generate a lot of grease. Simply using soap and warm water to wipe down kitchen surfaces can save you from facing future tough scrubbing battles.
 
By incorporating these cleaning methods into your routine and staying proactive about maintenance, you can keep your kitchen appliances free from unsightly grease buildup and ensure they remain sparkling clean for years.
 
Cleaning your home is often challenging to do and time-consuming for most. There’s an easier way, especially for special projects such as carpet and furniture cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, , and more.

How to Load a Dishwasher

4/2/2024

 
You open the dishwasher, pull out a rack, and drop a dish into a slot. You keep doing that until there is no more room and push “start.”
 
Is that the best way to load a dishwasher?
 
Loading a dishwasher may seem like a simple task, but doing it right means sparkling clean dishes, and doing it wrong means scraping the crud your dishwasher missed and then just redoing a load.
 
There are a few easy, expert tips you can implement to get the most from your faithful dishwasher.
 
Pre-Rinse
 
You don’t need to do this with a modern dishwasher. They are designed to remove food residues, and they do it well. While you should scrape large food particles from your dishes, put them in the dishwasher dirty. Give your dishwasher a chance.
 
Dish Placement
 
If you want hot water to spray easily on all surfaces, put large items on the bottom rack, as the directions should say. Face them inward toward the spray jets, but leave room for water to spray up and past those, reaching other dishes. Your dishwasher may have more than one spray arm, but it doesn’t hurt to leave gaps between dishes so more water flows throughout the interior.
 
The Top
 
The top rack, that is. All your smaller items go here, including cups and glasses. Place everything so dishes won’t tip over. If you have plastic dishes to wash and are concerned about the high heat and possible warping, those should go right at the top. If you are really concerned, you know what to do: Wash by hand.
 
Utensils
 
Your dishwasher has a special place for utensils, and you might think, “I’ll just put them all in there, and all good.” That might work, but some utensils, such as forks and spoons, can stick together, limiting cleaning. Put some upright, some upside down, and leave room for water circulation.
 
The Right Stuff
 
When choosing a detergent for your dishwasher, do your research. Look at the reviews. If your dishwasher has a prewash option, use it. It’s there for a reason.
 
While you may do your dishes, you should leave some cleaning for the professionals, such as your carpet, furniture, and hard floors. Those are tougher than dishes.

How Mold Works

Mold is everywhere. It’s easy to spot if out in the open; you can smell the mustiness. While it can hide, such as behind walls, it doesn’t stay just on the surface … mold spores travel, and some have severe reactions to any exposure.
 
Ubiquitous in the natural environment, mold serves a vital role outdoors by breaking down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and trees. However, mold growth poses a significant concern where you don’t want mold (indoors). Because of how mold grows, with tiny, invisible spores that drift through outdoor and indoor air, mold finds fertile ground for growth when landing on wet surfaces.
 
The United States Environmental Protection Agency says this about mold: “Molds reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.”
 
Identifying types of molds is a challenge, as they come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and more. Professional mold remediators are experts at identification.
 
Mold is not considered a plant. It is considered a fungus, but like a plant, it needs a food source and certain conditions to grow. If you have a dark, warm area and add some moisture to it, along with a food source such as wood products or even dirt, you have the recipe for mold.
 
The challenge with mold, whether avoiding it or removing it, lies in moisture management. The presence of mold in your home necessitates prompt cleanup and removal of any water-related issues. Many experts say drying water-damaged areas and items within 24-48 hours of the damage occurring is important to prevent mold growth.
 
Health concerns warrant attention. Consulting a health professional before commencing cleanup is advisable, especially if pre-existing health conditions are a concern.
 
While molds are a natural part of the environment, their presence indoors demands proactive measures. Through effective moisture control and timely cleanup, in conjunction with consulting professionals, homeowners can minimize the risks associated with mold growth, ensuring a safer and healthier living environment for everyone in the home.
 
If you ever do have any water intrusion issues and especially with mold concerns, do the right thing. Call your favorite disaster restoration company.
