I was informed by a customer today,that she had a man out to clean her fabric sofas last month.
He turned up with a bucket of soapy water and a brush and proceeded to clean her sofas,with soapy water!!
No machine whatsoever.This meant he soaked and soaked the sofas with water and had no way or means to
extract the moisture!!!!!
The lady told me that after 3 days of waiting for it to dry,she had to carry the sofas into the garden and leave them to dry in the garden..
Please please please...after you enquire on the phone from a company what the price is ASK how they intend to clean your sofas and or carpets.....Cheap cleaning may mean dodgy work and methods

Remove candle grease/wax from your carpet or rug
Another great carpet cleaning technique.
Get a clothes iron and an electrical extension lead and plug it in close to the candle grease. Set the iron to a warm setting (not too hot).
Do not leave the Iron on the carpet!!!!!
While the iron is warming get an ordinary kitchen knife and warm the blade with boiling water.
Using the back of the blade (the blunt side) scrape away as much of the candle wax as you can.
Now get a white "Terry Towel"or some brown paper or brown paper bag (ensure there is no writing on the paper, you do not want to be transferring ink stains to your carpet) and place it over the remains of the candle wax in the carpet and rub the iron across the towelling or brown paper a few times, this will melt the candle wax which will be blotted up into the towel or brown paper. A towel usually works best.
Please ensure the iron is not very hot so as not to damage the carpet fibres.

Remove Chewing Gum from your carpet or rug
A carpet cleaning technique for removing chewing gum from a carpet.
Warm an ordinary kitchen knife in a mug of boiling water, then use the blunt side or back of the knife as a spatula to remove as much of the gum as carefully as you can.
Next get some ice cubes and place them in a plastic freezer bag, rub the bagged ice across the remaining gum, this will cause the gum to harden and go brittle.
Now use the blunt side of a kitchen knife to scrape or chip away at the remaining gum.
Patience and time is the key to success here.

Quality and still Reccession busting!!!
Well my policy of giving lower prices whilst maintaining my high standards of carpet cleaning is paying off!!!
This means my customers get a great deal and get more value for money and I get enough business to stay successful.
My prices are among the best available in the Dublin and Kildare markets.
My customers are delighted with the quality of my cleaning.In fact some of them are shocked at how clean their carpets are when I am finished.
My favourite qoute of the week,Mick Delaney,a customer in Dublin 8 "OMG! I was going to throw out that stairs carpet and replace it! It would have cost me more than €500 and now it is clean and fresh for only €59...."
The best thing is this particular customer is a landlord with quite a few properties,so more work from this man in the future
