Something different for Christmas..

Taking inspiration from 'The Best Gifts to Give a New Mum', we think that a professional carpet clean would make for an excellent, unique and thoughtful gift to give someone this Christmas. Who wouldn't want to have lovely, fresh, clean carpets to start off the new year?

Some other non-traditional gifts that we think would go down a treat include:

  • hamper filled with all of their favourite foods,
  • laundry / ironing done for a month,
  • babysitting offer to take the kids off their hands for a while,
  • or for the men, a night of uninterruped football, beer and a nice steak dinner!
Christmas is a time for giving, but sometimes the little things in life are worth so much more than gold and diamonds.

Top Carpet Cleaning myths

Recently Cairns Carpet Care Services listed their Top 5 carpet cleaning myths on their website.

Here is a summary of the truth behind the myths:

#1 - overcleaning carpets can destroy them - the dirt in carpets will rub against the fibres and wear the carpet down over time, so in fact NOT cleaning carpets will destroy them!

#2 - carpet cleaning only removes visible dirt - allergens such as pollen, chemicals from exhaust fumes and cigarette smoke, fungus and all sorts of other nasty things can find their way into your carpet and are only removed through cleaning.

#3 - steam cleaning can cause mould - mould occurs in damp, moist areas. Professional carpet cleaning should not oversaturate the carpet and it should dry fully in a matter of hours therefore no mould will form.

#4 - carpets will be wet for ages - most of the excess water is removed during the carpet cleaning process, and carpets will be fully dried in hours not days.

#5 - dry cleaning techniques clean better - dry cleaning can leave a residue on the carpets which can attract dirt quicker meaning they need cleaned more often.
