One of the most interesting things about our business is the sheer variety of places into which we are called. This is a reflection of the versatility of carpets as a flooring. So far this week we have cleaned a long runner in the parish church at Waltham St.Lawrence, a large 3-storey office block in Bracknell and two hospices, as well as the normal end of tenancy cleans and domestic jobs that we undertake on a regular basis. Each of these environments throws up its own challenges and demands.


In the large office there was quite alot of furniture (especially chairs) that needed to be moved before we could get reasonable access to the carpet. Also being a modern building most of the power points were actually in the floor hidden away in little access boxes. It goes without saying that you have to pay great attention to the amount of water you allow into the carpet when you have sockets and accompanying electricity. A system that uses minimum amounts of moisture is the obvious choice here.


In one of the hospices, we had to do a hygiene clean of the curtains, chairs and carpets in one of the guest rooms. In this sort of environment it is essential that all those nasties we hear so much about in the news, such as MRSA and C.Diff are eliminated and the room is fresh and ready for the next occupant.

The other hospice had just undergone a refit and was getting ready for its official re-opening. Again both chairs and carpet were on the agenda. As well as the normal build up of dirt that comes with everday use, there was quite a large amount of dust caused by the building works and all of that had to be removed before we could start the manin cleaning process.

And finally there was the church. Situated in the picturesque village of Waltham St.Lawrence on a beautiful sunny day, we couldn't have asked to be in a better place. The carpet runs from side to side and end to end of the church. There were some dark stains from the berries of the huge yew tree outside, quite a bit of normal trampled in dirt and not surprisingly a few dops of wax, which were mainly up closer to the altar.

So as you can tell, we've visited a wide range of places so far this week (and we have plenty more to do) and each one demands an appreciation of its individual issues and circumstances, as well as the knowledge and expertise to achieve great results each time.

That's it for today. All the best,
