In all the years we’ve lived here, we’ve only ever had the carpets cleaned once. Not surprising then, that over time, they’ve all become a bit grubby – especially the beige ones.
Step forward, Nigel, the Cleaning Doctor who we met-up with a few weeks ago after seeing an advert in a local magazine. He came round today to tackle Phase I of cleaning all the carpets in the house – today, the biggest job, the beige ones.
The job took around three hours and began with a thorough wet-vacuum of the carpets in question. WOW! I thought we kept our carpets clean, but when Nigel showed me what he’d vacuumed up, I was, to say the least, a bit embarrassed. Firstly, the colour of the water – the deepest shade of black! Then it was the cat hair – enough in the vacuum-bag to cover at least another large cat! Meeow!!
Obviously the tech has moved on since our first clean – the carpets used to take ages to dry , but today, they were touch-dry in 30 minutes. Excellent!
Phase II, where Nigel will tackle the blue carpets around the house, will be on 6th September.
Nice job Nigel – thanks!
I got into blogging quite late in life, not publishing my first post until 2004 – well into my 40s! My lifelong love of technology and communication (in all its forms), together with a fondness for the art of writing seemed to be the perfect combination to contribute a few words to the online community. But I’m no Samuel Pepys! If you’re looking for deep and meaningful comments on a variety of subjects, then you’ve arrived at the wrong site! I only pen for pleasure! On average, my posts appear about twice per month, covering family & friends, cinema visits, eating out, holiday experiences and techy stuff. Oh, and as this is my hobby, there are no sponsored links nor adverts here – it’s all done with love!
I hope you find it enjoyable, interesting and occasionally, even helpful!
