FAQs & Terms and conditions

FAQs:


Q - What can I do if I spill something on my carpet or upholstery?

A - You can always message the Facebook page, text or call to ask for advice. Sometimes its better to use nothing as certain fibres can react to particular products and cause permanent damage. Depending on what has been spilled you may be able to leave it until your next biannual/annual clean or it may require immediate attention. 


Q - How often should I get my carpets, rugs and upholstery cleaned?

A - Every 6 - 12 months is recommended. It does depend on usage; if you have pets or children it may be needed every 6 months or if you are very tidy and it stays in good condition it can be done every 12 months. In some cases I have seen people leave it 20 years to be cleaned and that can have an impact on the results achieved.


Q - Is it okay to use vinegar or bicarb soda on a stain?

A - No. It usually has no positive effect on the stain and can worsen the situation. Some fibres need to be left with a neutral PH level, vinegar is acidic and bicarb soda is alkaline. Both of which may cause damage if not fully flushed out of the fibre at the time of use. Vinegar can also cause odour issues as the smell isn't pleasant. 


Q - How long does it take to dry?

A - Depending on the method of cleaning (dry cleaning or steam cleaning) it can vary. Encapsulation cleaning (dry cleaning) can take up to an hour for carpets or upholstery to dry in normal circumstances. Hot water extraction (steam cleaning) can take up to 6 hours for upholstery to dry and up to 4-5 hours for carpets and rugs. In some instances it can take longer than the times mentioned if its raining, in an area with no air flow, air conditioning or ceiling fans, or if there was heavy soiling and it required a more extensive treatment.


Q - Is pest control safe for cats, dogs & other pets?

A - Our treatments are completely safe once dry. We advise all people and pets must remain away from the property during and for 1 hour afterwards.


Q - How long do pest treatments last?

A - Internal treatments come with a 12 month warranty & external 6 months. Hygiene and living condition factors can impact the length and effectiveness of treatments. In some cases it can even void the warranty.
