This image was taken from an earlier blog. This is my wife and I in front of our work van.

Holiday, Craig's Hut , Snowy Mountains

This Hut was built for the Australian Film Man From Snowy River. It has been rebuilt about three times due to its being burnt to the ground during bushfires that regularly go through this area.

The Type of Stain

Naturally this plays a very important part in the STAIN removal procedure. For a successful STAIN removal removal procedure to take place it is quite important to identify the nature of the STAIN. There are many STAINS of unknown origin. Thus your Carpet Care Professional may use sight, touch or smell to help identify the stain and classify it into an appropriate category.

Vacuuming Carpet

Usually 80% of soil load in a carpet is dry particle soil. This is a lot easier to remove when dry. So vacuuming your carpet regularly with a good quality upright vacuum is very important to your carpet's lifespan. This dry or gritty soil is what wears at your carpet over time if it is not successfully removed. Usually a good professional carpet cleaner will prevacuum you carpet before steam cleaning or dry cleaning it.

Holiday

Beate and I have just got back from a wonderful holiday in Mansfield,Victoria. This is a beautiful little town in the Snowy Mountains. We did a 4wd trip up to Mt Buller and saw some snow. I was quite excited as this was a first for me. We also saw Craig's Hut which was especially built for a great Australian film The Man From Snowy River. Beate and I did quite a bit of sightseeing and have to say that this area known as The High Country is spectacular.

Successful Stain Removal

Now successful Stain Removal depends on many factors. AGE OF STAIN. Most fresh stains can be removed from the carpet's fibre by an application of an appropriate chemical/stain remover. Usually a carpet cleaner is called to attempt the stain removal procedure well after the staining liquid had time to break down the surface tension of the fibre. After wetting, the stain is absorbed by and reacts with the fibre. Following this reaction the stain dries out and sets on the fibre.
