It is so good to be able to say thank you and mean it.  I want to thank those companies advertising on AboutMyBeaches.  Some of them I bugged a lot; explaining why they should be on my website.  I really do appreciate it.

AboutMyBeaches started back on July of 2009.  It was one of those ideas.  I am a frustrated concierge.  First it was going to be just a website.  When my webmaster, Ed Timmons, met with me, I kept talking and talking.  He probably thought I was more of a blogger.  So, really, it was his suggestion.  Here I am.  I consider myself to be in the business of Word of Mouth.

Since my advertisers are on my website, which is written in a blog style, you can access them directly.  Just look at them on the right hand side of AboutMyBeaches,  http://www.aboutmybeaches.com, and you will be able to find out what these companies are all about.  They are all different.  Their owners are very nice, and easy to talk to.

Let’s meet them:

New Year & New Expectations; that’s what this post should be called.  The Delaware Beaches are becoming more popular every year.  The attraction of low property taxes, along with the amenities make the beaches a year-round playground.  Tax free shopping, mild winters, beautiful scenery…the towns have been crowded during the week-ends. This is our Second Season and a few quieter months is the perfect time, for us that live here year-round, to truly embrace the beaches.

IMG_1468

With that in mind, I want to mention some of my Delaware advertisers, who have been in the area for so many years.  I can recommend them all fully because I use them.

Office 302-537-4444, cell 302-381-0773.  Website?  www.mikenbuilders.com.  Mike Cummings is the company’s Founder and CEO.  This is a commercial and residential construction company well respected in the community.  I have known Mike for many years and no job is too small or too big for him.  Find out for yourself and give his company a call.  His staff is amazing.

and points in between.  Yes, sometimes I might be on my way somewhere and the opportunity calls to check out a food truck, a tapas bar, a new beach, or a new museum.  That’s why it is so much fun about writting a website in a blog style.  It is a diary, yours alone. 

AboutMyBeaches has made realized that I want to know and experience more.  I remember when my webmaster, Ed Timmons from 4C, Inc., http://www.4cinc.com, mentioned I should write a blog instead of the standard website.  I guess he figured I was talking his ear off so I was a good candidate for bla, bla, bla.  He just did not know how much I could talk. 

Then, I started blogging, only a few readers here or there.  People that are connected on the internet suddenly started to find me.  I think my posts are honest and from my heart.  I have posted so far 728 posts, and now I am getting over 14,000 hits per month.  Who would have thought?

And, you know what? I want more.  Granted, some posts are more interesting than others; so its life itself.  Remember that it is a diary.

100_1010

Pictures….I decided to incorporate them because people are so visual.  Looking at a picture entices you to read.  Well, I should hope so, even though I do have some friends that say they have read the posts but maybe they just looked at the pictures.  I know who they are, right?  Shelley, Debbie at times.  Not Missy or Richard, though.  My fault, I test them.

My friends and my family have put up going out to dinner with me.  My first statement as we sit down at a table is “don’t touch the food until I take a picture” and “can we all order something different?”  I am surprised they even still want to go out with me.

It is so funny because I get e-mails or suggestions on places to go and check out.  I welcome them; we all have different likes and dislikes and I am an inquisitive person.

The coastals towns that, I, predominantly promote, I love.  There is something about living by the ocean.  I know I am lucky.  The Delaware Beaches have been home for many years and so good to my family.  Giving them a push is not a brainer.

100_1021

It just happened to me, so this post is so, how shall I say it, “apropos”?  You go away from your immediate surroundings and things just happen.  Oh, I forgot to tell you that I took a trip to Delray Beach, Florida.  My neighbor asked “not hot enough here, in Delaware, for you?” 

South Florida is not, at the present time, the sunshine state.  Actually, it is pouring and so far the car did not start; AAA, here in not time and car left on a flat bed.  Computer?  Not connected to the internet, why would it?  So, that’s why it has taken so long to post.  Weather?  Hot and humid, but I did not expect it any different.

Quiet, though.  The Village by the Sea is in its Second Season; I like it that way.

I have my own “Angie’s list”.  My, AboutMyBeaches List.  Tried and true by me.  As I try new services at the Delaware Beaches, you will be the first ones to know.

Have a great day!!….talk to you soon…

Coastal Chem-Dry, Sussex County, New Castle County, Carpet Cleaning, Upholstery Cleaning, Earth Month, Green Carpet Cleaning, Green Certified, Delaware Beaches, Locally & Independently Owned

 

100_4748

Earth Day, or as it used to be called, Arbor Day is on April 22nd.  In reality, the whole month of April is considered to be Earth Month.  As we all try ways to live an eco-friendly lifestyle, I could not help to think about one of my advertisers, Coastal Chem-Dry.

Coastal Chem-Dry of Sussex & New Castle Counties is independently and locally owned.  Their telephones are:  Sussex 302-645-2800, New Castle 302-234-0200.  Website?  www.chem-dry.net/coastal.de

100_4755

As spring gets underway; by the way today is a perfect example of a nice spring day.  You can smell it in the air.  My friends are all getting yards ready, gutters cleaned, power washing this or that, spring cleaning of closets and carpet cleaning.   

100_4757

Coastal Chem-Dry is a green carpet cleaning company and green certified.  The products are non toxic; the carpets dry quickly.  Their primary cleaner, The Natural, is safe and non-toxic.

100_4746

If you have pets in your house, I don’t care how “good” they are, there are accidents to attend to.  Chem-Dry has a specially formulated product to eliminate stains and odors.  It is called P.U.R.T., which stands for Pet Urine Removal Treatment.  If you need this treatment, once the carpet is treated, plastic is put over the spots for 24 hours.  Then, all you do is vacuum over the treated areas.  That simple.

100_4760

If you call the Sussex County number above mentioned, you will talk to Angie.  A few of my friends have already met him.  All it took was one call and he was there immediately.  Personalized service is something to be said about.  And by the way, he is very friendly and thorough.

 

Have a great day!!!….It is warm, finally….

What a productive day!!!  I had made an appointment for my rescued dog, Addy, at Doggies at the Beach, located on Rt. 24.  Tel. 302-644-8200.  The reason?  My carpets were going to be cleaned by Coastal Chem-Dry.  She needed to be out of the house; yes, doggie day care.

Addy, the angel, the culprit

Then, my next stop was at my dentist.  It was a quick appointment, no big deal.  I like going to the dentist.  No kidding, I do.

I could not wait to get home and get the house ready for Chem-Dry.  To tell you the truth I was a little apprehensive.  I felt like I needed to have my house cleaned before Chem-Dry arrived.  Oh well, I am sure he has seen it all.

Wait a minute, anyone that has pets has gone through this, you cannot escape it.

I was so embarrassed.  I had 2 rooms with big time stains.  I thought that this could be a test for Chem-Dry.  I had never used them personally.  They do advertise on my website, though.  I wrote about them on 7/23/10.  If you would like to see that post just go to the month of July under Archives and scroll down to the date.

Or, you can click on the banner with their name on the right hand side of my website.  It will take you directly into their site.

But what caught my attention was their revolutionary product that is specially formulated to eliminate urine stains and odors even in the most severe cases.  I think mine fell into that category.  As I am writing the post I am thinking how crazy I am to put the pictures of my own carpet on this post.  I have to; that’s the only way to review it.

Yes, P.U.R.T. which means Pet Urine Removal Treatment was definitely going to be used.

Angie arrived at my house at 1:00 p.m.  He had a beautiful smile.  Perfect teeth.  Since I had just been at the dentist I noticed them.  He proceeded to get everything ready; hoses and vacuum out.  He said once you get everything set up the rest goes quickly and it did.  I just talked his ear out as he was cleaning up.  He showed me how the machine really releases all dirt from the carpet.  Then he goes over the carpet again.

He took a black light and went over the carpet looking for spots and there were plenty.  The black light highlights them and then he can proceed with the treatment.

 For the pet urine he mixed the solution with hot water and really soaked the spots.  Then, plastic is placed over the spots and at least they should be left covered for about 24 hours.  They looked better already.  Then, after the 24 hours all you have to do is vacuum the areas.

There were a few other spots that needed a little bit of extra spot treatment and that was done, as well.

Then he packed up everything and I sent him home with fresh figs and Vita Coco, which is the coconut water I wrote about on my last post.

Angie is calling me on Monday to check if I am satisfied and he might stop by to see it for himself.  That personal attention is what we all want.

Do you think I will use Chem-Dry again?  You bet.

 

Talk to you later…have a great week-end!!…

Coastal Chem-Dry of Sussex & New Castle Counties, Delaware, Carpet Cleaning, Stain Removal, Chem-Dry Protectant, Upholstery, Tile Cleaning, Delaware Beaches

 

I want to welcome my latest advertiser, Coastal Chem-Dry of Sussex & New Castle Counties, Delaware.

When I think of carpet and upholstery cleaning I would have to say that I really did not know anything about it.  I just call the carpet cleaning company when it’s time and call it a day.  Never giving a thought what will be used on my carpets, the ones I walk on every day or will the stains go away temporarily or at least for a long time.  I do have a dog.

Chem-Dry has been in business for a long time.  It is the world’s largest carpet cleaning company.  The difference about Chem-Dry of Sussex & New Castle Counties is that I personally, know them.  I guess that gives me license to talk about them. 

It is a family owned and operated business.  Yes, they are locals of both counties, Sussex and New Castle.  They offer superior carpet, upholstery and tile cleaning; plus they are friendly, fast and dependable.

Chem-Dry dries in 1 to 2 hours; not days.  It is safe and non-toxic; resisting resoiling, which means it stays cleaner longer.

For all of us that have pets, and accidents do happen, then let me tell you that urine in carpeting is a severe problem that requires major restoration work; not just simple cleaning and treating.   Chem-Dry’s revolutionary product is specially formulated to eliminate urine odors, even in the most severe cases.

The carpets stay cleaner longer because they do not use excessive amounts of moisture.  Soapy residues attract dirt like a magnet, therefore, the carpet gets dirty again faster than before.

Chem-Dry’s Motto is “If we can’t get it out. No one can.”  They are prepared to remove any stain, can give you an on-site evaluation and provide a no-obligation estimate.

I hope that after reading my post you will give them a call.  I am not kidding you, they are great.
