London speaks in more than 300 languages being the metropolis it has always been. Different cultures shake hands every day. It is a great joy to live and work in this city. And my work is carpet cleaning. This is what I enjoy doing.

I find carry out carpet cleaning London wide – from Heathrow to Upminster and Croydon to Barnet. Travelling is not a problem – I like to travel. Some may say that getting about in London is a pain in the neck. I don’t think so. If you know your way around you won’t get stuck in these horrible chock-a-blocks. Actually they are to be seen around the main roads.

Vacuum carpet cleaning motors are pieces of equipment that quyalifies for The Most Changed Part award within the whole machine’s construction. Not a great thing as they cost about £100 a pop if you buy 10 at once. If you go to a repair shop you would expect to pay about £150.

Well, I ordered 15 last week – just in case. I have to be prepared for those tough moments when everything seems to be falling apart or breaking down.

There is a way of repairing a failed vacuum motor but it is42v.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   not a

This year decided to skip Carpex in Coventry. Last year proved there was nothing significantly new on the carpet cleaning innovations front, so 2010 looks like even plainer than 2009.

I believe many carpet cleaning manufacturers will not be attending the show as there are not many reasons to why carpet cleaners should spend lots of money on new equipment when business and budgets are tight. Sounds reasonable to me.

Currently my carpet cleaners have all the equipment they need (even more than that) and any extra sums spent on the same carpet cleaning equipment but a bit modified are simply out of the question.

Today I came upon a case where a client of ours had booked carpet cleaning. After we had removed the dirt from the carpet some old pet urine stains became visible after drying up.

Our client was not happy and demanded we changed her carpet as we had caused those stains.

I sent the carpet cleaner back to have a look at the stains the lady claimed we have caused with our “hot water extraction method”. She had used a “cold water extraction method” (?!?) before and there were no problems.

The inspection confirmed that the stains were caused by the lady’s 2 cats. When wetted the stain smelled of urine. Our carpet cleaning technician could not ask the lady to smell the urine as he thought it would be unappropriate. We tried to explain this over the phone.

The lady could not believe it was urine as she “had spent a lot of money training her cats” to relieve themselves elswere. Urine is an acid and damages carpet fibres almost instantly. Take your time and you have a permanent discolouration.

We have written to the lady and suggested an independent carpet cleaning expert to examine the yellow stain.

Remember – call the carpet cleaners as soon as you notice the problem. Do not treat with Varnish, 1001 etc as they will make things worse. Just blot the spillage with a paper towel (do not rub) and try to remove as much of the substance as you can. Sometimes you can be lucky and the spot can come off 100%. If not – visit the carpet cleaners and we will help.

I love this carpet cleaning Plymouth chemical for its efficiency when removing greasy spots. It is one of Prochem’s most popular carpet spotter and I’ve used it for years.

Unfortunately, when I last ordered a box of Citrus Gel, most of it was either beyond its “use by” date or something has gone wrong in the manufacturing process. I believe it was the former. The gel, generally a very thick substance, now was in a liquid form and was lacking its usual effectiveness . Hmm… I thought it was just one bottle but it turned out to be the whole box. And you wouldn’t know until you’ve opened it. The problem was I had given all of it to my carpet cleaners and most of it had already been used when I found out about it. I didn’t complain to Prochem but mentioned it to my local supplier. He could not tell me much more than what I already knew. Next time I get bad stuff I’m sending it back to prochem.
