Salvage your carpet call immediately for Carpet drying


When your home gets flooded, you will almost certainly need carpet drying services. The carpet is always one of the greatest casualties of flooding. This is due to the fact that the carpet is highly absorbent and will be already soaked before the water polls off. Quick action is therefore required to ensure that your carpet is salvaged. Otherwise it may be necessary to replace the carpet altogether if action is not taken within 72 hours. It is actually recommended that the carpet be dried within 24-48 hours.

The need to urgently dry the carpet is mainly twofold: the need to prevent loss of the carpet and prevent growth and proliferation of harmful microorganisms including molds and pathogenic bacteria which are harmful to the health of humans.

Professional carpet drying technology is designed to ensure thorough and fast drying of the carpet. Carpet drying professionals employ high capacity suction pumps to extract the water. Powerful air driers ensure fast drying of the fibers. This is aided by air dehumidification to encourage quick drying and prevent mold growth. Steam cleaning is also employed to ensure thorough cleaning of the carpet. The carpet drying also involves deodorization to remove any odor that may have developed due to dampness. The process is not complete without the chemical treatment of the carpet. This is mainly aimed at preventing the growth of molds on the carpet for the obvious reasons of potential harm to occupants’ health. Of great concern is the black mold which produces toxins that are capable of causing illnesses such as lung complication, worsening conditions such as asthma and causing memory loss.

The things you have to put in mind whenever you have flooding and are concerned about your carpet include the fact that quick action is necessary to salvage the carpet (carpet cleanup need be done within 24-48 hrs), you also need to understand that professional cleanup is what you need and not inexperienced cleanup. And off course you need a service provider that will respond immediately on contact.

A History Of Body Plugs


Use of jewellery has been a way to show beauty for ages now. Many centuries ago people used ornaments to make they look good and appealing. The designs have changed according to how they look and also the parts of the body where they are worn. Nowadays, they are worn on the ears, nose, navel, lips and also other parts of the body. Each body plug is designed according to the part of the body that it is to be worn. It has even turned out that many men then women are using them unlike in the past.


They are made of many types of material like plastics, cheap metals and also expensive metals like gold. However, not everyone can afford those expensive types of plugs. That has made people opt to use other materials such as plastics, cheap metals, and organic made plugs. A person can use body plugs for beauty, peer pressure or to identify with a particular group of people. They are also worn by a person who has a pierce on the body part that he wants to wear the plug. That means the first thing to do in order to be able to wear a body plug is to pierce the body part. This should be done by an experienced professional to avoid chances  of hurting yourself  or messing up .


After you have pierced your body and the wound has healed, you can now go ahead and buy plugs that please you and make you look good. You should choose a plug that looks good on you and one that you feel comfortable with. You should also be aware that body plugs are a way of body modification since it is long term and permanent.
In order for a body plug to stay in place, it should be flared out to hold the plug in place. This means that it can be double flared, single flared or have a straight plug.


a) Double flared-In this kind of plug; there is no need to use o-rings. This is because both sides are flared and this makes the plug stay in place.
b) Single flared-One end is usually flared. The side that does not have a flare is held in place using an o-ring.
c) Straight flare-It does not have a flare on any side. So what hold the plug in place are sliding o-rings put on both sides of the plug.


This gives you quite a large choice to choose from when you want to buy body plugs. They should also be chosen with care since some of those that are very cheap may be made of metals that could react with body fluids and cause infections in your body.


They originated from the Egyptians. They were worn by both men and women .and were  worn on their ear lobes. After some years, they modified them and a special class of people started wearing plugs made of silver and ivory.

Bodymod more popular than ever

A friend of mine has just had a metal bar put through his penis!  No, his woman did not catch him playing in someone else's pool :p  This dude volunteered for this so called 'body modification' and that's not all, he's got those Ear Plugs done too, you know, the ones like an Amozon Indian has LOL.  Whatever your opinion of this (I got tattoos which I regret having), you gotta ask yourself the question, why now?  I mean, how come all of a sudden this is reaching such huge popularity.  I guarantee you, just walk down an average busy sidewalk in any North American City and you will not pass more than a block without seeing examples of either Piercings or Body Mod as they call it, and I don't mean earings.
My theory is that everyone are kinda 'bored', that everything else has been done.  People, certain people, want to be 'different' and so they go and get some stuff 'inserted' into them ..... errm I think I am going to change the subject - what do you think?
