A project that has been in the works for several years is about to be put into place in Bexar County. This $23 million commitment will allow for several areas of the creek to be widened as well as numerous bridges to be built.

The city and residents of the South Side are hopeful that this project will put an end to needless flooding. The ability to maintain and house the rainfall is a large goal of the project. The construction efforts are expected to span out over the next 10 months.

If your home has experienced flooding, please contact the Austin water extraction and restoration company, WOW Total Cleaning, by calling 512-499-0058 today.

Here are some important steps in removing grease stains from upholstery:

1. Use baking soda to soak the grease stain fully
2. Let the baking soda sit on the stain for 20 minutes
3. After removing the baking soda, use a dry cleaning product
4. Apply the product to the stain, then remove

When dealing with grease, water-based cleaning products should not be used at all. These products can permanently seal the stain into the upholstery and will not help further uplift the stain.

Eliminating a grease stain from fabric upholstery may be more trouble than it is worth. If you are interested in professional upholstery cleaning, please contact the Austin upholstery technicians of WOW Total Cleaning by calling 512-499-0058 today.

If untreated, these areas can become contaminated and dangerous. Power washing becomes necessary during times like these and, when done properly, can eliminate all built up particles, returning the surface to it’s original condition.

Renting a power washing machine takes time and effort. If you have never used a power washer before you will need to take the time to understand the settings and learn about the machine’s functions.

Professional power washing is a great option that will free up your time as well as guarantee a great job. To discuss your Austin power washing needs, please contact WOW Total Cleaning by calling 512-499-0058 today.

Austin’s New Year has been designed as a safe environment for children as well as adults to enjoy several festivities. These festivities include special film screenings, circus acts, live music and a fireworks finale. A handful of musical acts will be on site to perform including Joe McDermott and Carolyn Wonderland.

City officials hope that this event will prevent drinking and driving in the city because it has been deemed as alcohol-free.

The Austin carpet cleaners of WOW Total Cleaning hope that everyone rings in the new year in a safe way. Go to KVUE.com to learn more about the Austin’s New Year event.

Start by viewing your home through the eyes of your guest to determine what areas should be cleaned and where to start. Bring your cleaning supplies with you to each location and work from one part of the house to the other. When dusting, remember that dust falls so start at the top and work your way down.

Make sure to clean the bathroom that your guests will be using quite thoroughly. If you clean a few days before the party takes place you won’t be as overwhelmed on the day of the party and will only have to do some simple touch-ups.

Professional cleaning offers the option to remove the stress of cleaning for your holiday party completely by hiring someone else to take care of it. If you are interested in professional cleaning services, please contact the Austin carpet cleaners of WOW Total Cleaning by calling 512-499-0058 today.

The biggest factor in the ban would take place in 2016 when there would be absolutely no single-use plastic or paper bags at any check out throughout the city. Bags for bulk foods, meat, produce and dry cleaning are among the exemption to the ban. Reusable bags would be the only option that could be offered by retailers.

An additional area of the ban would take place in 2013 and would affect the price of plastic and paper bags. Consumers would still be able to receive these bags but they would be charged 25 cents per bag. The city would receive 22.5 cents out of the 25 cents and would utilize that money to promote the use of reusable bags.

The City of Austin may vote on this issue as early as next month. To learn more about this ban, please visit the Austin Statesman today.
