“Our goal is to give valuable tips and advice from our cleaning experts to consumers, whether they’re cleaning up from holiday entertaining, have a new family pet or just want to start the new year with fresh carpet and upholstery.”

“We chose to continue the Hotline period into February as people are cleaning spills and mishaps from entertaining throughout the busy holiday season,” said Lauren McCann, rental brand manager and spokesperson for Rug Doctor. “Our goal is to give valuable tips and advice from our cleaning experts to consumers, whether they’re cleaning up from holiday entertaining, have a new family pet or just want to start the new year with fresh carpet and upholstery.”

Holiday Party Cleanup

The Holiday Hotline benefits consumers who hosted holiday parties and houseguests in 2012 and are looking to tidy up their homes for the New Year. According to a survey conducted by Edelman Berland on behalf of Rug Doctor, 35 percent of consumers are likely to clean their carpet after hosting an event. The Rug Doctor carpet and upholstery experts can give advice when it comes to eliminating tough stains such as gravy, chocolate, wine and more.

New Pet Owners

Following the holiday season, many consumers are welcoming new, and often untrained, pets into their home. Rug Doctor experts can provide solutions for pet-related stains, as well as recommend the most appropriate cleaning products such as its Pet Formula Carpet Cleaner or Urine Eliminator.

The Big Game

With the Big Game taking place on Feb. 3, Americans are gearing up to host parties with friends and family, not to mention cheer on their favorite team. Rug Doctor’s cleaning experts can help those who need some extra tips on getting their home spotless before guests arrive, or after the guests are gone.
