Customer's Landlord Was Most Impressed Today.

Cleaning rented offices in the centre of Norwich today for Ingleton Wood.

The landlord of these premises also owns, and works, in the offices next door. He looked through the glass door that divides the two office spaces and was really impressed by the quality of our work on what had been a very severely soiled carpet. He was so impressed that he came through and asked me for a business card.

It had been thought that the company renting these offices were going to have to replace the carpet tiles, but I'm glad to say that it looks like we've saved the day. Also I'm expecting a call from the landlord to ask me quote for carpet cleaning in the rest of the offices. Not exactly sure how big a job this would be, but it is certainly over three floors.

Well, all in a normal days work.

CUSTOMER: I Tried to Remove Wine Stains but it's now Worse and Turned Brown.

Well I'm glad to say that this was another successful outcome on Tuesday.

I suspect that the customer over wet the carpet, whilst trying to remove rose wine stains from her carpet. This probably caused the jute colour to wick up through the carpet causing an even more ugly stain on her pale wool carpet.

With the use of a combination stain removers and a specially formulated bleaching agent, I was able to completely lift the stain from the carpet. I will admit that as the stain was already two days old, it was a bit touch and go, but I got there in the end.

If you should accidentally spill red or rose wine, or tea or coffee on your carpet it is important to get professional help immediately, as once the stain has been allowed to dry, the odds of complete removal is severely reduced. This is why I run a callout service. I can advise you what to do until my arrival and this will contribute to a successful conclusion.

Oh No, Rust Stains on My Carpet!!!

On Tuesday, I successfully removed two old rust stains from a wool carpet. We can't promise to completely remove rust spots from carpets, but it's nice when it works this well.

Question: Can you remove paint from a carpet?

A customer rang me yesterday, desperately trying to save his carpet after spilling a whole can of emulsion paint over it. He spent two days with a Vax machine and loads of 1001 carpet detergent but the white paint was still visible. I'm glad to say that within two-and-a-half hours I had removed the stain despite the fact that it was already two days old, cleaned the rest of his carpet to match, and all for just £45. He was so pleased that he is going to get me back to do his stairs and he has also passed on my details to his Mum with a recommendation.

Tried out the Ninja Carpet Cleaning Machine Today - Pretty Awesome

I had a Ninja hot water extraction machine loaned to me yesterday. With it's twin inline vacuum  motors, the pick-up is quite amazing. I just about put my back out trying to lift in and out of the van though. And as for trying to get it up and downstairs, that is a most precarious operation.

If I bought one of these, I might have to go for the more powerful 400psi machine with a remote control and a 50m hose, which would mean I can do a whole house with the machine still on the ground floor. 
I need £2,500 though. Anybody?

I can prove it works and can provide statistical analysis from my Google Ad campaigns to prove it.
But if you set it up wrong, it will cost you a fortune.

Case Study
Peter Barber, who is the director or Coastal Cleaning Co in Felixstowe, set-up his own Google AdWords campaign with a friend whose is an IT wizard on building web sites. His campaign cost him £47 in just 3 days, and didn't provide any phone calls.

He rang me is desperation and I immediately paused all his campaigns. I then set about putting together a cost effective campaign for him and he now pays less than a £100 a month and it generates many new jobs and clients for him. He is thrilled to bits. So thrilled was he that he has passed on my details to a marketing company for Clarkes of Walsham, a building merchant and outdoor pursuit business near Bury St Edmunds, and I am now doing the same for them.

YOU WANNA SUCCEED IN BUSINESS?
THEN CALL ME!

Well How About That?

Google AdWords set-up for Clarkes of Walsham for their Barbour Chelsea Quilted Jackets, Fencing Supplies and my latest concoction, a National Campaign for Titan Bunded Oil Tanks, free delivery to all UK Mainland destinations. My oil tanks campaign is hitting the number one spot on google nearly every time. Try a search, but don't click on the link (unless you are looking to buy one) or we'll have to pay for your click. But as the cost of a click is so minimal and these Titan Oil Tanks sell for over a £1,000, it has to be a great ROI (return on investment).

One Very Happy Customer Today

Now I can't guarantee to remove all stains from a carpet, especially Coke Cola or coffee, but today I did just that. Fortunately it was a manmade fibre, which makes my life much easier.

I used an Ashby's Ninja machine today which was kindly loaned to me by Ashby's in Sittingbourne, after my other machine developed a fault. This machine is excellent, yet still manageable enough... just, to get it up stairs if necessary. However, because it has two vacuum motors in series, the pick-up is incredible. If I'd got a second hose, I could have cleaned the upstairs carpets whilst leaving the machine out in the front garden. I shall certainly be buy one of these soon. It will speed up my work flow considerably.
