Title: How often do You.........
Post by: The Carpet Cleaning Pro on July 02, 2012, 01:22:57 am: One from the Wife here:-

How often do you as a carpet cleaner, clean your own carpets and what type of carpets do you have in your house?

We have poly prop and they get cleaned every 4 months due to the dog.

Post by: clairuk on July 02, 2012, 02:19:00 am: Once every six weeks... Since we got our dog!

Once every 8 weeks before that, but with 3 kids!

That`s when i discovered a use for my old shoe covers.......... Wrap up the kids and dog in them! No Mess Now!

Simply roll them around the room as and when you want in a kind of giant-elastic-band-shoe-cover-ball

Get them here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/view-kids-giant-elastic-band-shoe-cover-ball/didyoufellforit?.numpty

Mind you we are thinking of going wood flooring..... But tell tell anyone!

Post by: Mike Halliday on July 02, 2012, 08:17:58 am: we have polypro carpets, they are a long pile and they clean brilliantly they are 5yrs old and show no signs of wear. We change the room around often and can never see where the furniture was before, unlike when you see some homes were the suite has to go back to the exact position.

I clean them every time i need to test the machine or to try a new chemical, so usually every 3-4 months

Post by: Tony Stewart on July 02, 2012, 09:26:16 am: Every 3 months or when I get a new chemical/tool to try out. However thinking that this is a mugs game to clean my own carpet so thinking of getting local carpet cleaner in who does lounges for £15. He cleans at 8p sq' but he has a half price offer on at the moment (from 16p sq')
;D ;D
