Clean Trust to launch trade association for education and development

The Clean Trust, formerly the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC), is seen to be ‘moving forward’ with plans for an independent international trade association initially approved at The Clean Trust executive committee and board of directors meetings in 2010.

According to a press release dated 27 December 2011, The Clean Trust is finalising the structure of the organisation and expects to launch the new association this year. The association will provide education, programmes, services and products to individuals, companies and supporting organisations involved in the inspection, cleaning and restoration industry.

“The Clean Trust is deeply committed to providing the cleaning, restoration and inspection industry with the tools and resources necessary to grow their businesses and better serve their customers,” said Darrell Paulson, The Clean Trust chairman of the board. “This trade association will internationally unify the industry and support collaboration to pursue common goals and interests.”

The association is said to ‘provide members with education and access to research and specialised information’, as well as ‘direct government affairs activities, including increasing member awareness of state and federal legislative activity throughout the United States’.

Both The Clean Trust and the international trade association claim to ‘offer networking and professional development opportunities for industry professionals’.

These are two pictures of water damaged carpet, the carpet is approx 20 years old. The water damaged the carpet 8 days ago. A Stain has appeared due to the backing of the carpet bleeding, soiling in the carpet and dust in the water. This can be cleaned but the 20years of use has damaged fiber. An odour was present and has been treated and removed

Dose your Rug or Carpet "Bunch up" or Peak?

2011-09-07T15:01:00.000+11:00

Rugs or carpets can Bunch up or peak depending on the circumstance. If a rug or carpet has been stored for a long time and peaking has occurred, the secondary backing can separate, this can be fixed through carefully using latex but if the backing is broken or the primary backing is hard this can be difficult. Bunching up of the carpet or rug occurs when a heavy table or chair stop the traffic movement of the rug and it bunches up against it.

2011-08-01T14:41:00.000+11:00

Custom made rugs, there were 2 of these delivered to our factory in South Oakleigh. These had been used in a grand entrance to enhance the shopping experience, when cleaning was required there was a build up of carbon ,oil,grease,foods,drinks,etc. Restoration took place over 4 days with various cleaning methods each method removed months of stains and spills.
Rug Maintenance is crucial to maximise the rugs life, keep the design and colours clean/fresh and keep treasuring your investment in a work of art.

We selected A truckmount machine, more heat and water extraction, this allowed us to clean the carpet more thoroughly than a portable machine.

Why do we clean carpets ?????

2009-12-08T08:37:00.000+11:00

I had a concern from a customer about the cleaning of their carpet of Friday. "It got me thinking why do we clean carpets". Able Carpet Cares follows the australian standards AS 3733:1995.

Able Carpet Care always recommends a clean every 12 months .The carpet it is a sink for catching dust, soil, spills, stains, insects, dust mites, Spiders, allergens, etc. Carpet is cleaned to look and feel good(LG); improve the life of the asset, saving you money(IL) ; finally we clean for health and reduce allergies(HA).

The first clean is a full clean of all the carpet (LG+IL+HA) covering all concerns, the next clean in 12months is a H/tr clean (LG +IL). By cleaning your carpet this way you will have a healthy carpet that looks good and lasts Longer.

Dry Cleaning vs Steam cleaning

2009-11-17T12:27:00.000+11:00

Emily

Mrs x ask me today “I want the best clean for my carpets, upholstery and curtains. Mrs Y used your service next door and it looks excellent” So I said we have 2 types of cleaning available, Dry and Steam cleaning. “I would prefer dry cleaning”. Well Mrs x we have various ways to clean your carpet as follows :
Dry Clean
- Encapsulation
- Shampoo/Dry Foam
- Dry Powder
- Bonnet Dry Clean
- Dry Fusion
- Rug Badger

Hot Water Extraction Cleaning(steam cleaning)
- Truckmount Machine
- Portable Extraction
- Immersion clean

Mrs x, what we will do is check what method suits your carpet and recommend the best method so you can make an informed decision. Your carpet should last you approx 30 years or more. Regular cleaning and maintenance of your carpet will help you to achieve this goal, reduce allergens and keep your fibre looking clean and fresh.(just like Emily)

Mrs X has booked in for Christmas and decided to have all the carpets, upholstery and curtains cleaned, we will follow up with a phone call to see if she is happy after the clean and send her a reminder in 6 months time to come back and do the High traffic areas. This will save her $000 of dollars in replacement costs, improve the health of her home and keep the carpets looking clean and fresh, just like Emily.
