Wet Winters Result in Wet Carpets

round

Posted by Gidon July 17, 2012

The variable climate in Australia, from excessive moisture during the winter months to dry conditions over the summer, makes taking care of textiles a challenge. When the air is saturated with moisture for days at a time, textiles, upholstery and carpets become damp. Natural fibre textiles like cotton, jute and wool absorb moisture from the air. Synthetic fibres hold moisture and harmful biological agents. If a room has poor air circulation and the moisture cannot dissipate, mould, mildew and odours develop in the fibres. Carpets are especially vulnerable to damage from seasonal moisture because dust, dirt and other debris become

During a fire, smoke is pushed by air pressure through a building and deposits residues on walls, floors, ceilings and

Posted by Gidon April 29, 2011

The floods we have seen across many regions of the country in recent months have brought water damage restoration and the dangers of mould into the public eye.

round

Posted by Gidon March 24, 2011

When selecting a business to provide you a service, there are some industries where qualifications are simply a given; plumbers and electricians will have completed their apprenticeship, lawyers and doctors will have graduated from university. So why don’t people have the same expectation that their carpet cleaner being trained and qualified?
