We Won Again!

Well it’s been a pretty crazy ride these past 20 years (where did all that time go? Right?). From our humble beginnings out of the back of a borrowed trailer, we have come a long ways in becoming the Premiere Provider of Cleaning Services in the Valley.

Over these past 2 plus decades many things have changed. Yellow pages are pretty much gone, (who uses a phone book anymore?). There has been a surge in hard surfaces and people owning rugs. Paper maps have gone the way of the dinosaur, we now navigate around using Google Maps. When we started I scheduled jobs from my cell phone into a paper schedule book, now our amazing office manager, Katie, expertly handles all client scheduling needs from the comfort of her professional office with amazing farm side views.

One thing hasn’t changed. Our dedication to our clients has been the cornerstone of our success. Over the past 7,300 days or so, we have constantly been striving to Provide You The Most Outstanding Service Experience Possible. We do that because we believe You are Unique and Deserving of Exceptional Care. We Guarantee You will Get the Cleanest Floors with the Longest Lasting Results Possible.

Everyday we come to work not just to show up, but to step up. We are seeking to make every day a masterpiece, and a better one than yesterday was. We are constantly improving and growing and searching for new ways to add value to our clients lives. Zig Ziglar taught us “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help another people get what they want.” I can attest to that. I am a very blessed man.

So I guess it’s fitting to announce our 13th consecutive UB Best of the Best Award. John Wooden, the greatest basketball coach of all time, taught his players not to focus on the championship, but to focus on every play, everyday. When everyday is a masterpiece it makes the whole year a masterpiece.

We want to express a hearty thank you to the valley for your support. Without U there would be no US. Thank you so much for your continued confidence and support. I can honestly say it is a blessing and a privilege to serve your cleaning needs.

Thanks Again,

Matthew Richerzhagen

Well it’s pretty exciting stuff to raise a child and have them come to work with you in the business.

I feel a little goofy with this because Zander has been helping me since he was 12.  He came to work with me full time in 2015 and became my business partner in the acquisition of Beautiful Carpets and Floors Inc.

Thanks Zander for your great input into our business!

The Art and Science of urine odor removal while cleaning upholstery in Walla Walla, Wa

By Leave a Comment


Here at Clean ‘n Dry we just never know what we are going to run into each day.  Recently we were called upon to clean up after a pretty nasty accident on a sofa here in Walla Walla.  Some urine was released prior to making it to the restroom.  The principles for removing odor are complicated.  We want to remove the source of the odor.  If the odor is just covered up by a strong deodorizer it can either be too potent (which might cause irritation to those in the affected area) or if it’s not strong enough the deodorizer might fade and viola the bad smell comes back because it was really never gone at all.

In our almost 20 years of experience we have developed a unique solution for handling tough odor problems.  We apply a ph neutralization process with a mild deodorizer.  The ph neutralization process is created by mixing a safe acidic (ph below 7) with a safe basic (ph above 7) product.  Both are safe individually.  They are food grade products.  When the acidic and basic touch they release a tremendous amount of energy as they react to reduce each other and come to stasis.  This energy breaks down urine crystals and other biological matter.  We flush out the affected area until we can verify through our extraction tool that the contamination is gone.  We then apply our regular prespray and clean following the remainder of our 12 step process.

On this sofa we applied our solution after a careful pre-vacuuming, which removed the loose dry soil.  We had to pry the back cushions up and away so we could reach back in behind the seat to carefully apply our process.  We cleaned the affected area and then verified that we had achieved success by a vigorous smelling test.  We then applied our pre-spray and cleaned very thoroughly.  We met with success.
