Cleaning your own carpets
« on: May 06, 2007, 08:55:51 pm »
How clean are your own carpets.

I cleaned mine today for the first time in 18 months :o :o.
And hated doing them for some strange reason.

I found this really strange as I totally enjoy cleaning my customers

You must have a very understanding wife Paul..................I did ours a week ago and prior to that, about 3months ago.

This time I tried encapsulation and was very impressed with the result.

I was just experimenting Paul...............I had the Cimex product and some Chemblend chrystallising foam, I was surprised to find the cheap stuff giving a better result.

Never vacuumed until the following day and I was really amazed at the result.
