Carpet Pics
« on: September 24, 2006, 08:28:10 am »
Mornin All,

Does anyone know where to find/have some "generic" before and after photo's of Carpets and upholstery. I had two jobs last week that were perfect examples only I'd given my digital camera to my Mother in law (poor lass she always gets the blame) to take on holiday.

I could use a few to let the guy who's doing my website get it finished. (looks a bit silly with pics of my bike in it at the mo!)

Dont want to rip off anyones stuff or tread on toes though and I'll change the pictures as soon as I have my own.

Any help much apreciated,

Adam.

The chinese rug looks a fake computer touch up immage as the fringe is perfect on the dirty end and the stains look to uniform for me.

the fringe is bright because it is lit up with the flash, the darker mark along the edge is a sign of bad wand technique ;) he's left a damp line, which often looks darker with wool

Robert, I think it looks great, dont take any notice of the sarcky remarks that some are posing ;)

most of them proberbly couldnt get them sort of results, so have to have a dig :-\ ;D

Have any of you c/c thought he might just of cleaned half of the rug, dried and finished , to show exactly what he is showing.

so many sceptics on here :)

i would personally dry clean the rug in a dry cleaning machine, yes the ones you take your clothes to. The rugs clean fantastic and the fringe is superb and white.

If I were to put that rug in our dry cleaning machine it would

a. soak up a lot of dry cleaning solution (which is far more expensive than water)

b. the filters on this very expensive machine would want replacing not cleaning out

c. the potential damage done would mean I would have to charge the customer a fortune.

These rugs are not made to be dry cleaned.

Shaun, that must be why we clean them with water on the floor, just a thought, best, Dave.

Great result Rob. I for one know the amount of effort it takes to achieve this.
