The Mascot

Mascot of Pearson Carpet Care

Every world headquarters needs a mascot, right?  Well here at Pearson Carpet Care we think so.  So meet our mascot, Dusty.   He is very aptly named since anything that stays in the rug cleaning plant for long gets tons of wool fibers on it.  Dusty is a rare breed of Texas Jackalope.  From his place in the world headquarters he watches over every rug that comes through here.

So when you come to the world headquarters in Humble, TX make sure to ask about Dusty. He also has a fun side to him that can only be seen by coming in our facility.  Make sure to bring a camera, too he's not shy and it makes a great photo to show your friends.

One Insurance Company Wanting me to Charge Them More

This article really has nothing to do with rug cleaning at all, but since our company does a lot of water damage I thought somebody might find it interesting.

Snag in a Berber? What do I do?

If you get a run in your berber carpet, don’t just trim it. You will leave a very noticeable line where you can see the backing of your carpet. Instead try this simple solution.

Take a hot glue gun with clear glue and add a small drop of glue on the backing of the carpet where the loop of the berber was originally attached.  You should still be able to see some of the glue from the manufacturer on the spot where you will need to add the hot glue.  Then take a paperclip so not to get hot glue on your finger and press the carpet yarn into the backing of the carpet.  Repeat this process all the way down the run until it is all re-attached. Use the adjacent carpet yarn still attached from the factory as a guide for spacing and height.

If you are nervous about doing this then practice several times without using the glue, until you feel comfortable doing it.  Also, remember that a small amount of glue is all that is required and make sure not to get it on any surrounding fibers.   If you don't have a hot glue gun you can also use Elmer's Gorilla Glue.  I have used both in the past and either works well. If you do it right, it should be very hard to tell you repaired it unless you know where it is.
