Carpet Cleaning Misconceptions: No1

Many home owners are  under the impression
that once you have your carpet or upholstery
cleaned then it gets dirtier quicker.......





Well......long, long time ago this statement was actually TRUE!
 
Inferior machinery and shampoos did cause this problem. BUT with new technology and quality cleaning solutions this problem can now be eradicated as long as your carpet cleaning technician is trained to a high standard and knows the correct solutions to use  that will not leave soil attracting residue in your carpets and upholstery.  Plus knowing the correct procedures to use is paramount.






As we are proud  GOLD members of the Woolsafe Organisation

http://www.woolsafe.org/uk/ you can guarantee that we are fully trained and insured to receive this award.







Unfortunately this professional result is not always possible when you hire or buy a DIY machine.

Further Misconceptions coming soon!...

Take care, Paula

7 REASONS TO CONSIDER HAVING YOUR CARPET CLEANED!

WARNING.... THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS QUITE GRAPHIC

 

Seriously! You will reconsider the 5 second rule after reading this!

 

 

 

 

1. The Norwalk virus or Norovirus (the virus that causes the stomach flu) can survive on an un cleaned carpet for a month or more.

 

 

 

 

2. Each year, several pounds of soil can accumulate in and under a carpet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The five-second rule is a myth: bacteria can live after four weeks on carpet. And, thanks to “microbial adhesion,” germs such as the following are immediately transferred to food: Salmonella typhimurium, Campylobacter, and Salmonella enteritis, a nasty bacterium that causes horrible diarrhoea and vomiting.

 

 

 

 

4. Bed bugs can live in carpet fibres and wooden floorboards. For their size, they are extremely fast and can crawl more than 100 feet to obtain a blood meal, usually at night from people who are sleeping. Engorgement takes about three to 10 minutes yet people rarely realise they are being bitten

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. A person sheds about 1.5 million skin flakes an hour, most of which becomes embedded in our carpets.

 

 

 

 

 

6. Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments, eating dead skin cells and nesting in dust-collecting carpet. The residue that mites leave behind can mix with dust and become airborne, which may cause allergies.

 

 

 

 

7. Now do you understand why it is so important for your health and not just appearance to have carpets  professionally cleaned a minimum of every 12 to 18 months?

And here we are booking appointments in for December....it will soon be Easter!


 

 

 

 

 

Today 11th November -

Remembrance Day when we all remember that we owe our lives and freedom to many soldiers who fought for us. In the news recently was an article about WW2 veteran Harold Jellicoe Percival from Lytham who died in a nursing home aged 99. He had no living relatives and the funeral directors placed an announcement in a local paper requesting any servicemen who could spare the time to attend his funeral. Well with social; media as it is I was happy to see on the local news that hundreds of mourners attended his funeral. Nobody should have a lonely send off. Well done to all who attended.
