Another inspection of interest this week Brand new build in Trigg, complaint of colour variation. Sure enough, when I get there you can see a massive difference from one side of the seam to the other To the layman’s eye, it’s a colour issue To my eye, it was a laying issue known as “seam […]
Had a great job recently Client in City Beach, putting their home on the market. Expansive house massive amounts of carpet Bleach marks everywhere from trying to keep up with an incontinent old puppy The salesperson said, “Just replace the carpet…” Yeah right, $25,000!! We managed to redye all of the bleached areas for $3500. […]
Was called in by a manufacturer re a warranty claim last week, oily spots appearing on carpet. Allegedly marks had appeared on their own, worsening over time. This problem was also apparent in the back room, but I noticed the start of it in the front room!! Sure enough, felt oily, but I wasn’t convinced […]

We regularly get asked to clean stains out – but sometimes they’re just spots. So, what’s the difference? Spots are simply something foreign to the carpet, something physically bonded to the fibres, Stains have undergone a chemical bonding so have created a change in the fibre. You can clean all day, and all you’ll end […]
We cleaned a viscose theatre setting yesterday. Whoopee I can hear you saying. Except that this a suite with a price in the tens of thousands and a fibre that is super fussy – loses 70% of its strength when wet, needs grooming after any cleaning or any tooling marks will be permanent. In fact, […]
