Busy Day

Had to clean a unit today. It involved wiping out cupboards, wardrobes, vacuuming newly layed carpet,cleaning a bathroom and toilet. Will return tommorow to clean all the windows and mop floors. It is a retirement unit here in Leatrice Phitzner Crt, Loxton.

Healthy Schools Network

You may find this website informative. It is a site where updates in regard to what cleaning chemicals are dangerous to your health are posted and what to use as alternatives. Also shows how many children are getting sick in their school environment: www.healthyschools.org.

Sad Day

Both Beate and I feel very sad as we had to have our 17 year old jack russell put to sleep today. About 8 months ago he had kidney failure but he survived and we were able to put him on a kidney diet using KD dog food from our local vet. It gave him a real spark for quite a while but in the last few days he had lost that zest and was going off his food again. So we made the decision to have him put down rather than see him suffer. This was so hard and we have both been crying most of the day. We both feel emotionally drained now and know with time we will feel better. But it is like losing a child to us as we chose not to have children and little Boofy was like our child. Anyway we will now have to spend more time with our other dog Tara a Staffy Cross Kelpie Cross Bull Terrier who is 9 years old and still full of beans. She loves to chase the ball and is obsessed with it.

By the way I am not as old as this guy!

Oscillating Pad Cleaning

This is now the main method we will be using to clean your carpets. It involves the use of very little water and a cleaning agent that is gently massaged through your carpet after a thorough prevacuum with our Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. Any oily soils that are left after vacuuming are dissolved by the cleaning agent and the use of the latest Oscillating Pad Machine which scrubs all sides of the carpet fibre leaving it fresh and clean. As the cleaning agent drys it encapsulates the soil into a crystal which then vacuums out and breaks away with your weekly vacuuming. The carpets are also dry in a very short time!
