Customer Thankyou! Rug and Carpet Clean.

A Thankyou from our Customer.

Hi Michael,

Just a note to say thanks once again for all of your help in getting the rugs to and from, and the carpet cleaning.  The carpet has come up a treat, and the bad spot at the end of the hallway is much much better than before.  It seemed to improve even more as the carpet got to properly dry.

We are more than pleased with how everything turned out. Also if you get a chance to say thanks and job very well done to the rug repair people, then please do so on our behalf as they did a great job in mending the edges.

Thanks again and a Merry Christmas.

Regards


Don & Ros (brighton)

Upholstery Cleaning - Fabric cleaning can be tricky get the professionals

Cleaning the many different upholstery fibres is a professionals job. 

 A plush velvet synthetic fibre will respond to correct chemical choice. The chemical PH, type of fibre , the usage and type of spills on the upholstery.


The correct equipment, training and type of cleaning solution, needs to be selected to get the best result.


A strong Cotton fibre can last the test of time and is worth spending a few more dollars on for an easy to clean long lasting fabric. The question would be for what purpose? This will last for years and years in a domsetic home where the traffic is not too heavy, but is a family of 5 with pets every day use, a darker colour would need to be chosen.

This Hemp fabric should go in the "good Good" room that rarely sees spills, stains or people. Hemp like viscose does not like liquid spills. Clean up immediately and dry or the fabric will be damaged.

Spot Cleaning your carpets it a little like peeling an onion.

 A Spot or stain(S/S) on your carpet, rug curtain or Upholstery is just like an onion. There is particles in the S/S in the manufacture or particles that exist from the environment, let me give you some examples.

- oil is used to create a lot of foods we consume

- Trans Fats

- food colourings   

- Sweeteners

- Sodium


- Iodine fortification


- folic acids 



The environment of your carpet, rug, upholstery or curtain needs to be understood. 

- Pollution


- Pets


- Excessive cooking with oil creates a layer on the fibres


- Soil walked in from outside 

- Workers clothes who works in or near earth





So a Spot or Stain is not as simple one solution clean up in many instances it has many layers like an Onion that need to be removed. If the wrong layer is treated with an incorrect chemical, it may lock it into the fibre. Choosing a trained technician to clean or spot clean your fibres will reduce the chances of this occurring.
