I was asked this week to go to northern Italy to clean some carpets that locals had ruined.

When I have a moment I will post the pictures. They are the worst I have ever seen.

Which part of northen Italy? I have family in Turin and Milan. The rest live in the south of Italy.

Not many carpets over there, mainly hard flooring.

i used to be in a franchise and we went to ireland for a week to clean cinemas, don't know what the round milage was but it was a fair bit. also went to welsh wales for 5 days to clean a holiday camp, that was good, slept in a chalet and only left the camp to get a beer (or three) in the evenings,

I have customers eighty miles from me and at all points in between. As others have said too, I will travel anywhere if the job pays.

We advertise a 25 mile radius but in reality its more like 40.
As everyone else says if the price is right theres no limit.

It was a super yacht belonging to an international diamond trader. Local guys had used Formula 90 with disastrous effect on cotton carpets. They charged 3000 euros for the privilege and did the work in a day. 1-200 grands worth of damage. Whoops!!!

Cheers for that.
