Before and After Shots Don’t Lie – Even With Carpets

The Carpet Doctor, Gasport NYTalk about before and after shots. The Carpet Doctor knows how to make things come alive.

These are actual photographs of carpets getting cleaned by The Carpet Doctor. He often gets asked if a professional cleaning makes a difference.

He thought it might be easier to answer that with visible proof that it does. Sure, you can rent a cleaner at the grocery store but you won’t get these results. That’s because The Carpet Doctor uses a professional steam cleaning process and knows exactly how to treat heavy traffic areas and spots or stains.

Some of these shots are from homes but some are from restaurants and an office where the traffic is very heavy but you can see the difference. And seeing is believing.

The Carpet Doctor, Darren Rosselli, does make a difference when he cleans your rugs, carpets, tile, grout and upholstery. Some of his customers claim he performs miracles but he has his own  promise of “GUARANTEED clean or it’s free” because he is that confident that he can meet the needs of his customers. Please feel free to call Darren today for an honest over the phone estimate at (716) 772-RUGS or (716) 439-8331.

Cool April Guest Special Items for The Pampered Chef

Vonda Westcott, The Pampered ChefThe rich look of bamboo makes these simple snack bowls an elegant entertaining addition. Their adorable size is just right for olives, nuts and dipping oil. Try them with condiments, sauces and dressings, too. A perfect ensemble with our Bamboo Cracker Tray! Set of four. 3 1/2″ diameter, 1/3 cup. And they are one of the bamboo items that you can choose to get with $100 of sales from your Pampered Chef Party. (I am having one in late April so these are looking really good to me!)

Bamboo is a grass and is actually the fastest growing plant on the planet. This sustainable and renewable resource naturally replenishes itself by constantly sending up new shoots from its root system, so there’s no need for replanting. Plus, bamboo:

  • Resists staining, cracking and warping.
  • Doesn’t conduct heat.
  • Doesn’t absorb moisture.
  • Is harder and more durable than traditional hardwood

If you would like to enjoy these great April Guest items, call Vonda Westcott at (716) 735-7717 to schedule your Pampered Chef Party.

Healing Techniques at Points Acupuncture

At Points Acupuncture, 2658 No. Main Street in Newfane, NY, we offer a full range of TCM – Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Points Acupuncture, Newfane NYOf course we practice acupuncture, a very safe, painless and effective holistic treatment, in which, very fine, sterile, disposable needles are inserted into specific areas of the body, called acupoints, along energetic pathways, called meridians, but that is not all we offer.

Perhaps you have never heard of some of these TCM techniques like Moxibustion, Cupping and more, so here is some basic information about a few of the TCM modalities we offer at Points Acupuncture, specifically Gua Sha, Oi Jong and Tai Ji.

Gua Sha
A healing technique that involves palpation and cutaneous stimulation by a round-edged instrument that results in the appearance of petechiae, or “sha” that usually fades within 2-3 days. Raising sha helps promote the movement of Qi and blood to promote normal circulation and can be used to alleviate pain and treat acute or chronic conditions.

Qi Gong and Tai Ji
Use slow, graceful movements and controlled breathing techniques to promote the circulation of Qi and blood within the body to enhance overall health. It can improve health by reducing stress, increasing flexibility and agility, improving muscle strength, increasing energy and feelings of well-being.

Call us at 628-3802 to learn more about these techniques, acupuncture or to schedule your appointment.

What You Need to Know About The Color Purple

Courtesy Summit Print & Mail, LLC

Summit Print & Mail, Lockport NYIf you have been asked to design a piece for your company or non-profit, did you know that not all colors are equal?

According to John Butcher of Summit Print & Mail, Lockport, NY, there is a color that you should avoid for a couple of important reasons – purple.

When you are choosing PMS colors for your print job, you are better off to stay away from violet colors. That is because violet colors have a chemical makeup that is different than other colors and it is difficult to dry.

In addition, violet colors have considerably more rub off than other colors, so over time and handling, your piece can look worn or dull.

Need advice on what PMS colors to choose? Not to worry. Call John or Cookie Butcher at Summit Print & Mail and see what they can do for you. They have been in the business for years and are the winners of multiple awards for quality and craftsmanship.
