Category Archives: Carpet Cleaning Hawthorn

I never thought I would find myself putting up a website, especially one called Carpet Cleaning Hawthorn! When I decided to carpet my new home, all I thought of was coordinating it with the rest of the décor and maybe the texture. I never gave any thought to maintenance issues. This landed me in considerable trouble as I didn’t realize that carpets are essentially huge dirt and dust magnets! It took me a few months to figure out the cause of my sneezing fits. It was my carpet! It is not like I didn’t clean the carpet at all, it is just that I didn’t think I needed to vacuum it more than once a week. And, the less said about my laziness in cleaning up spillages the better as I ended up with a dirty carpet with stains everywhere. I realized then I had to do something about the carpet. I couldn’t afford to buy a new one or call in professional carpet cleaners. I finally decided to do a bit of scouting around online to see how I could clean my carpet without spending much. I glanced through some articles and hurriedly made a list of several so-called best carpet cleaning products without paying much attention to the dos and don’ts or the dire warnings. Armed with my list, I headed to the stores and picked up all that I needed. I thought that I would set aside an entire Sunday to get my carpet back in shape. Let’s say that didn’t quite happen the way I planned as I only woke up around noon! Anyway, I sincerely went about applying some cleaning solvents onto the stained areas and, in my enthusiasm, I used a little more than what was on the label. I figured that the more I use, the cleaner it would get! You guessed it, instead of removing the stains I ended up spreading them and also ruined the carpet fibres. It didn’t stop there, the chemicals in the products I had used remained in the air and I had a severe allergic reaction. So, instead of cleaning the carpet, I made it worse. Finally, I realized that there were no shortcuts to the job at hand and my only recourse was to call for rescue. I again made the mistake of rushing into getting a professional carpet cleaner without checking their credentials. They didn’t show up when they said they would, and although the price they charged seemed on the lower side, they didn’t properly complete cleaning. In any case, after spending all that time, energy, and money, and calling in cleaners carpet cleaning didn’t get done as expected. I had to get rid of the carpet within a few months . I swore that before I rush off to buy my next carpet, I would spend some quality time reading up on articles on authoritative sites, and discuss with friends on how they take care of their carpet. This was when I found that although there were several commercial sites online that gave you considerable information, they were geared to selling their products or services. You never could tell if the information was reliable or if you were just being fed some nonsense. I started compiling and collating information from different sources and counterchecking each tip on different sites. It suddenly dawned on me that there will be many people like me who are clueless about carpet cleaning. And that is how Carpet Cleaning was created.
