This week presented me with a job that was one of sentimental value. It was a 40 year old, polyester/cotton Jacquard lounge suite that the hubby had bought when he moved out of home. His wife wasn’t so keen on it, so the boys had inherited it when they left home, but now they no […]

Darren and I attended a job last week, repeat customer wanting the same job again. No Problems, 3 small lounge suites with some minor marks. But embarrassingly, we got a call back, saying that we missed a few spots on one settee! So off I went, to inspect and sort out the issue. I get […]

Prevacuuming is something we that we are required to do as per the Australian Standard AS3733 for carpet cleaning. Yet people often assume that their version of vacuuming of the carpet is enough – but this is rarely the case! Just this week, Darren had a job that he attended and as per our norm, […]

Review “Fabulous service. We had a couple of stains ranging from tea to tan on our Jasper lounge that were up to 3 months old; and the prognosis wasn’t good considering the time that had passed and the fabric of our couch.

This week we had an unusual request to fix an issue with dye from a leather strap having transferred onto a viscose blend bedhead – nothing nefarious, just a leather handle that had rubbed against the fabric. Definitely something new, but once again, challenge accepted! The client was not hopeful, thinking it would never come […]

One of the things we do on a regular basis is to clean upholstery that has been delivered with marks on it. Our challenge is to clean these fabrics that are brand new, without creating issues on the fabric, in spite of the fact that that they are often quite fussy fibres that can be […]

Every once in a while we get a call in to clean a “stain” on the carpet. The “stain” turns out to be a bleach mark. Stains are where there are added colours or soiling to the fibre – bleach marks are the exact opposite; they’re colour loss. This can result from using things such […]

Reporting on carpet issues for warranty claims is another thing we do. This week I called in to inspect a complaint of colour variances on a job. Looking at the carpet. It seemed as though one side of the join was different in colour to the other side. But, when I played around with the […]

Yesterday, I attended a job that I’d had an emergency call on. Regular client, with a mischievous daughter who loves testing out her artistic skills – this time with nail polish on the staircase. Mum tried to do it herself, but just spread it! So, the call came through… She had done a great job […]
