Fair do's Joe, but I wouldn't have that carpet to cover my compost heap, let alone my flooring ;D

They are different areas of carpet but if they picked them for before and after photos they must be right numpties. Pick an area with no seam showing surely.

i cleaned a carpet a few weeks ago and it was a throwback to the seventies, gold, red, green blue swirls all over it, very psychedelic. it was in 18" strips and it was just like new. i wondered why anyone would want a pattern like that these days. turns out the carpet was 28 years old!!!  they had brought up 4 kids with that carpet in the lounge and it honestly looked like a new carpet but what a pattern!!

Just What i thought John k

and yes for those who noticed it does appear to be coming apart at the seams, a before and after pic on a c/c website ::)

Steve, I agree I,m spending to much time ;D, actually it was a link to a local c/c cleaner in beverley that i spotted whilst looking on ebay and as I hadn't heard of him thought i would take a gander ;)


Yes I know Mike H is based in Beverley, But I know Mike has a little more savvy than that :-\  unless of course you have another company I don't know about Mike.

Got to admit I was surprised by the choice of pic.

Thought i was the bees knees driving around with my kirby vacuum in the back down hill used to go off the clock at 80mph not that i ever went that fast on a public road ::)

pioneer radio/cassette with big speakers hanging from the roof :-[

Must of looked like something out of the bloody sweeney :P
