My next job is close by in Chatswood another empty studio apartment,this takes not too long to clean and I am finished in forty minutes.I now head down to the beachside suburb of Dee Why to clean five seats of upholstery,When I arrive I find no lifts and the unit is on the top floor so dragging up a 56kg machine up six flights of stairs really is not fun. I get started and clean the three seater first,the only downside to cleaning upholstery is it can give you back ache.

Job done and another happy customer and time for a late lunch at Dee Why beach to take in the surf.Just one more job to go before I have to clean a pubs carpet later in the night.The next job is in Clontarf and only one room with baby sick so a nice quick job and time to go home and rest up before the pub job.

It is 9 pm and time to head back to North Sydney to the Alberts tavern on Walker st.We clean this pub every two weeks and always have a lot of chewing gum to remove from the carpets.First off I hit all the gum spots with a gel that dissolves the gum.Once this is done I set up the truck mount and connect all the hoses and pre spray the carpets with detergent.Now I get going and steam clean the carpets and melt away all the chewing gum shortly after an hour I have finished,so time to pack up head home and get some shut eye before the next day.

Tuesday mid morning and I am off to Surry Hills to pick up some rugs to be cleaned at our factory.

upright vacs are very good

As much as you would like to preserve your carpet in the best way possible, accidents do and can happen. Spills and stains can mark your carpet permanently, if not given immediate care. Although carpet is relatively low-maintenance, the nature of its material demands a weekly or twice weekly routine carpet clean. As well as that, specific stains need certain concoctions. For example, red wine spills are to be treated with cold water and salt before being vacuumed while acid stains require baking soda, cold water and club soda.

Routine cleaning always begins with vacuuming. It is advised that you vacuum your carpet at least once a week in areas that are rather unused, and twice a week for areas that have high traffic. Consistent vacuuming can preserve your carpet longer because it thwarts the incidence of build up which may cut through the carpet fibers.Remember to empty or replace the bag once it is two thirds full.

Wall to wall carpet vacuuming, especially in large rooms, can be very labor-intensive and time consuming . If it is not done properly, the vacuuming can be pointless. One very  good technique is to split the floor by equal sections, run the vacuum cleaner on one section thoroughly before moving on to the next. In this way, you will be certain that no space is left untouched.

DO NOT rush your vacuuming task, especially if you have a plush-type of carpet. The build and materials of plush carpets allow the dust and soils to be easily embedded in to the carpet. One run will not be enough for this type of carpet, so make sure you allow plenty of time for the suction to do its dirty job. In areas of heavy traffic activity such as the living room, go over it a few  times with criss-cross strokes.

Newly cleaned carpets can be treated with soil retardants(carpet protector) if you  wish to do so, so ask your carpet cleaner if they have this kind of treatment ie scotchgaurd,teflon or any professional carpet protector. Soil retardants or carpet protectors help prevent the re-soiling of carpet, and stops liquid from penetrating to the carpet fibers. Essentially, soil retardants extend the life of your carpet

Lastly, always put a little bit of baking soda into your vacuum bag. Baking soda has been proven to eliminate and prevent unpleasant odors. This will definitely leave your carpet smelling crisp,fresh and clean! Taking care of your carpet could be cumbersome but well worth the effort! Unless you plan on taking up the entire carpet flooring in place of a new one(very costly), you would want to preserve it in the best way possible.
