This one was a challenge. 🐾
Why?
The carpet was **10 years old, had never been professionally cleaned**, and had spent those years coping with three lovely dogs. 🐶🐶🐶
The customer’s main concerns were simple:
**Dirt. Traffic. And smell.**
The carpet was still well fitted despite the heavy use, but it was obvious that numerous shop-bought stain removers had been used over the years. Unfortunately, they had left their mark too — with several areas showing signs of bleaching.
Before the clean, we surveyed the carpets and planned our approach.
Then came cleaning day.
We had a new deodoriser with us — one that smells more like a rather expensive **men’s aftershave** than a traditional carpet deodoriser! 😎
And we had more than just the lounge to tackle.
The bedrooms and a large hallway were also on the list.
While my little assistant tackled the vacuuming, I got the machinery set up.
First, we applied a **biological deodoriser**, which immediately started neutralising the unpleasant odours.
For the main cleaning solution, we used a carefully selected combination of **enzymes and an oxygen booster**, with an acid added to the fresh-water tank as part of the cleaning process.
The carpet was a **60/40 wool-mix**, so chemistry, temperature, pressure and technique all had to be carefully considered.
We started behind the upholstery and worked backwards from the fireplace.
**300 PSI water pressure.
65°C water temperature.
Multiple overlapping cleaning and drying strokes.**
The chemistry does a lot of the hard work — but the technique has to be right too.
Once half the room was completed, we applied our new deodoriser to the freshly cleaned section.
A few areas needed additional chemical treatment, but gradually the carpet started giving up years of accumulated contamination.
⏱️ **90 minutes later, the lounge was finished.**
And the result?
I was delighted.
More importantly…
**So was our customer.** ❤️
In fact, they were so pleased they've already booked us to return in **December**.
