Carpet cleaning maintenance.
Dry compound carpet cleaning has been around for years and is infrequently used by many professional carpet cleaning companies.
Many commercial customers will have carpet cleaned ‘when it looks dirty’, but more companies are realizing the importance of maintaining carpet and the financial benefits associated. Dry cleaning is an effective way of cleaning whether in your home or at work but it really excels when part of a planned maintenance system.
We like this system because the compound we use is organic, this sometimes consists of ground maize although sawdust is also very popular. The label attached to these products is ‘micro sponges’, the reason for this is when viewed under a microscope the little piece of dust actually resembles a natural sponge, which is impregnated with water, cleaning agent or alcohol. When a contra rotating brush machine is used, these sponges are massaged deep into the carpet fibres, whipping soil from the yarn as they go, they will also absorb soil too.
Allowing the sponges to dry is an important part of the cleaning process as they are far easier to vacuum away than when they are damp, when the process is completed the carpets are back in use, immediately.
This system offers minimal risk to the carpet as long as the correct brushes are used in the brush machine, shrinkage and colour bleed should not be an issue.
This system of carpet cleaning is probably the most eco friendly way of cleaning carpets, with compounds made from renewable resources.

Sussex by the Sea
I have been very fortunate to have grown up in East Sussex, with many wonderful features to this part of England including the South Downs, we live at the foot of the downs and often take our dog up to Butts Brow, when the ascent has been made you are rewarded with fantastic country views all over the county, from Brighton to Hastings and on a clear day up to Crowborough and beyond.
In Eastbourne we have Europe’s largest marina, this has attracted many people to this area, including second property purchases by people from London and other areas, people often comment on the unspoilt seafront with stunning Victorian architecture evident everywhere.
When you move along the coast towards Brighton, you travel through smaller towns such as Seaford, Newhaven and Saltdean, they all have thriving communities with many people working in Brighton or even London, rail communications are excellent from Brighton with travel times just over sixty minutes.
One of my personal favourites has to be Lewes, the small town is rich in historical buildings and is the home of the famous Harveys Brewery, people travel from miles to sample the breweries delightful beverages.
When we are working around the county, we meet many people that decide to retire in East Sussex, often from busy lives in London, fond childhood memories linger in the mind when we want to adopt a slightly slower lifestyle.
Why trade qualifications and associations are important.
Open the newspaper or even a directory and you will find many companies offering their services, plumbers, electricians, carpet cleaners, chimney sweeps and many more, but who do you choose and why.
It is extremely important to distinguish the professionals from the not so professional, always look for trade qualifications such as City and Guilds, Corgi Registration and in our case as a carpet cleaning company, the National Carpet Cleaners Association.
The N.C.C.A requires members to attend courses and pass examinations, only then can you apply to join. This is preferable to simply sending off a cheque to join an organisation.
We are Trading Standards approved too, a Trading Standards Officer visited our office for around five hours, there were many requirements, including the officer contacting ten of our clients to gain references. If a company is displaying the Trading Standards Logo, you can be assured that they have had to go through a detailed process before becoming members.
Watch out for leaflets or advertisements that only display a mobile phone number or do not include a website with the companies address.
We do not cold call, some businesses will telephone you or even turn up on your doorstep offering their services, we feel that if you require our services, we can be easily found via the internet or in a directory.

Dust Mites in your home
More information than ever is now available on the subject of Dust Mites, here are some interesting facts:
Mites feed on human skin flakes, which consist of Keratin Protein.
Dust mites are translucent and don’t like sunlight, therefore like dark places with a temperature of around 25 0c.
Up to ten million dust mites can be found in ONE double mattress.
Dust mites are not a problem……their secretions are! the proteins (polypeptides) which are found in the form of protein chains.
Carpets are far more beneficial for Asthma sufferers than hard floors, they act as a large filter, holding in dust and allergens.
We can offer specialist treatments that eliminate and neutralise dust mites and their excrement, breaking down protein structure.

Carpet protection……do I really need it?
With living costs increasing daily, we think that looking after your carpets and upholstery is a wise decision, after cleaning, protection is an excellent way of increasing the life of your carpet or soft furnishing.
Carpet protection is a simple but extremely effective way of saving money, not only does carpet protection buy you valuable time when a spill occurs, but it will actually help to protect the fibres against daily wear and tear. Some people are a little wary of this part of our business as it could be seen as an ‘add on’ just to generate us extra revenue, this is not so. By offering carpet or fibre protection, we believe that we are giving our customers better service, looking after their interests almost. We believe in our protective treatments, on many occasions over the years we have heard this comment ‘thank goodness we had the carpet protector’ from customers that have experienced an unexpected accident.
Our treatment is particularly useful if you have children or pets.
