Kinda funny one this week I was asked to inspect a carpet, all the way down in Albany. Rental property, recently relet and the owner inspected between tenancies.! According to them, it looked terrible “it’s faulty” they cried, “Only 6 months old and it’s shocking near the window, the sun has affected it!!” So, off […]
If anyone has ever listened to any of my rants, one would be to do with Baking Soda It’s all over the internet, how great it is at solving every cleaning dilemma under the sun. However, put it on wool, and it’s a completely different story! This week, had a guy who’d dropped chilli paste […]
Had a job this week that was a little out of the way for us. All the way up in Burns Beach, but a largish job so we were happy to go. Some massive rooms, but a relatively straightforward job, just lightly soiled, good quality wool carpets. Upon finishing the job, I had a little […]
Not so nice one yesterday, elderly lady that had a little incident that led to some blood loss. Old, woollen bedroom carpet and the side of her bedframe had copped a spray when she accidentally cut herself. Her daughter of course panicked and attempted to fix the problem herself once she had her mum sorted […]
This week, a couple of interesting challenges First, an exclusive hair-on-hide ottoman that has a nasty odour. Bought by a billionaire customer from a respected interior designer, imported from Morrocco but with a smell that won’t go away! Our challenge – destinkify it!! Second one, a function centre in Melbourne with a scooter tyre mark […]

Tenant called us in Carl duly attended and proceeded to knock the tenant’s and PM’s socks off, getting every pre-existing stain out! Then another where […]
It seems going for a 10km walk isn’t a good idea. At least not for one customer who did, then came home to put her feet up on her $22,000 linen couch with a glass of wine. …And then promptly fell asleep, knocking over her glass of wine onto the lounge suite and a cushion! […]
We had a customer this week, a repeat one. Not so unusual I guess, except for one single fact. Carl was the one who had the pleasure of doing the job and on finishing was having a little conversation with Mrs Jones (her real name!) She informed Carl that she had been using Fresh Aire […]
Yesterday was a good one! Cleaning a carpet in an East Perth apartment, young lady informs me that there are some “funny marks” on the carpet after her younger sister had tried to fix some drink spills on the wool carpet. Looking at the marks, I could see colour loss and an orange-brown […]
