Carpet Cleaning Eugene, Oregon

Carpet Cleaning Methods

There are several Carpet Cleaning Methods.  The two main types are Hot Water Extraction and Very Low Moisture.

Hot Water Extraction

This has become the most popular type of carpet cleaning.  It is also known as Steam cleaning.

The most common method of HWE (hot water extraction) is to prespray the carpet with a cleaning solution then agitate the solution into the carpet.  If the carpet is not very dirty often the agitation step is skipped.  The cleaning solution is often allowed to dwell (5 to 20 minutes) on the carpet.  Then the carpet is rinsed with water or with a water and a neutralizing chemical.  Carpet Pre spray is usually done with a powerful cleaner.  It is mixed into a sprayer and then sprayed lightly in the cleaner areas and heavier on traffic lanes and dirty areas of the carpet.

VLM Definition

Very Low Moisture cleaning normally refers to cleaning a carpet with either a 175 rpm floor buffer, a Cimex, Counter Rotating Brush (CRB) or an OP (Oscillating Pad) machine.

Bonnet Cleaning

Bonnet Cleaning normally refers to using a 175rpm Floor machine.  The Cotton pad that is often used with these is where Bonnet Cleaning gets it’s name.
There is a large national chain of carpet cleaners (Chem Dry) that has based their system on Bonnet cleaning with a 175 rpm machine.

OP Padder

The OP (Oscillating Pad)  machine looks a lot like the 175 floor machine but has a totally different action.  The base of the unit vibrates and rapidly rotates in little small circles and rotates in a large circle also.  It is very deceptive as to how much work it is doing.  It works very well on some carpets like Sculpted Berbers and Berbers in general.

Encapsulated Cleaning

There are new cleaning agents available that are called Encapsulating.  What these chemicals do is break the dirt’s bond with the carpet and dry to a flake.  This flake is then easy to separate from the carpet with normal vacuuming.  These chemicals were developed for the VLM cleaners but usually work well with HWE also.  Most of the time when encapsulating cleaners are used in commercial carpets.

How Adding Verizon Prepaid Service Time Operates

When you have 20 days left on your service and you put $15 you will end up with 30 days of service after the addition. If you have 40 days of service left and you add a$15 payment you will still only have 40 days of service left. Verizon does not add your service balance to what you just purchased, you receive the larger of either your remaining balance or the newly added service time.

Verizon Wireless operates one of the biggest and most reliable wireless networks in the nation. Verizon Wireless now offers Pay as you go Wireless services. Here is a picture of the Logo which we all connect with “Can you Hear Me Now.”

The Verizon Prepaid Basic Plan costs 25 cents per minute with no daily access charge. The Verizon Wireless Basic plan is not a good value when you compare to other prepaid wireless plans.
Net10.com for 10 cents a minute or Tracfone.com. from 6.6 cents up to 33 cents a minute are better available alternatives.

The Verizon Core Plan charges 99 cents per day for access and calls are 10 cents per minute. Unlimited calls to other Verizon Wireless cell phones are free. I utilized the Verizon Wireless Core plan for nearly a year, if most of your phone calls are generally with Verizon Wireless customers this is often a great plan.

The Plus Plan is $1.99 per day access and charges 5 cents per minute. This plan also includes Unlimited night and weekend minutes (starting at 9 p.m.) and Unlimited calls to other Verizon Wireless phones all day.

Checking your Net10 Voice mail without Using Minutes

Once you have set up your voicemail you can check it from any other phone you want. If you have access to a land line or a phone that does not charge per minute you can easily check it from one of them. Call your phone number from a different phone and do not answer your Net10 phone. As it goes to the answering machine put in your password and your voice mail will pick up and allow you to check your voice mail. When your phone is turned off the phone will go directly to Voicemail.

Where is the Best Place to buy a Net10 phone?

I recommend getting your Net10 Phone online. You will almost always have the largest choice of phones. I always check for Net10 Purchase Discount codes. Typically the codes will save you three to ten dollars on your Net10 phone purchase. Another option is Target and many convenience stores usually carry the phones in stock but they normally only have the low end models.

Can I Use my T-Mobile Phone for Net10 Prepaid?

No, only Net10 Wireless phones will accept Net10 phone cards.

How Net10 Wireless Works

The Prepaid model that Net10 uses is the Cost per Minute structure. You purchase minutes and at the same time you will get a service period to use those minutes. .

You buy the Net10 phone and a Minute card. You can only use a Net10 Cellular phone for Net10 prepaid service, you cannot use a Verizon, At&t, T-Mobile, Alltel, Net10 or any other phone with Net10 Service.

How to Activate your Net Ten Phone

Next you will have to Activate your phone. You can do this by going to the Net10 website or by calling Net10 on a different phone.

You will have to type in some numbers into your phone and then it is active. It is really easy For the system to activate your phone can take 10 minute to a couple of hours.

Adding a Net10 Minute card is even easier. You can add Net10 minutes directly from the phone or from the Net10 website. You will add the 15 digit PIN code into your phone.

Often you can get extra minutes if you check for a Bonus code when you are adding a Net10 card. Bonus Codes are a five digit number that you enter while adding a card to your phone.. Check out the Net10 Bonus Codes.

How Net10 Service Time Works

Most Net10 cards will put 30 service days onto your phone for each $15 you spend along with ten minutes per dollar spent. In order for your Net10 to work you need to have both Minutes and Service time on your phone. The remaining Net10 minutes always show on the display of your phone. The Service end date will also scroll onto your screen. It normally says “Add Airtime by 12/21/10 or service ends.” hwnet10wrks

Verizon Wireless Prepaid Yearly Cell phone Yearly Plan

The Verizon plan is virtually the same as the T-Mobile plan. With a Verizon Pre-paid Yearly Cell cell phone you can add a $100 minute card and have service for one year. The basic per minute rate is 25 cents a minute. The Core plan is 99 cents a day and that gives you unlimited calling to other Verizon numbers. After the 99 cent daily charge you will pay 10 cents a minute to any non Verizon Wireless number. Verizon does not have the Best Pay as you go Annual Cell Yearly Cell Plan. The only reason to use the Verizon Pay as you go Yearly Mobile cellular phone is if you are only using the cell phone occasionally and you are always talking to other Verizon wireless phones.

The Best Pay as you go Annual Cell phone Yearly Cell Plan

for a lot of people the Best Prepaid Annual Mobile phone Yearly Cell Plan is the the Tracfone $200 3,000 minute (with DMFL) plan. This is only offered from Tracfone.com. The minutes roll over and you only pay 6.6 cents per minute and $16.66 per month.

The $100 per year Tracfone wireless prepaid plan is a pretty good deal also but the units are more expensive at 12.5 cents a minute.

Net10 prepaid yearly units are ten cents each and your yearly charge will be $200.

The T-Mobile Yearly Plan is simple. You buy the $100 unit card and your service will stay active for up to 12 months as long as you do not run out of minutes. The units will cost 10 cents. If you add smaller than $100 refill cards you will pay up to 33 cents a minute. You only get the ten cent per minute rate if you buy $100 at a time.

The Best Prepaid Yearly Cell Plan from Tracfone gives you a lot of flexibility. If you do not use all of your minutes they will roll over if you keep your service active. If you have a lot of units left over you can buy $20 phone cards that will give you three months of service. If you run out of units you can always add minute cards and pay between 6.6 cents and 17 cents a minute with DMFL.
