Lounge chair clean in Rockhampton

In March, Diamond Carpet Cleaning was called in to clean a couple older fabric lounge chairs. They had been soiled with general use over an undetermined amount of time, along with the help of two small dogs.

Here are some photos for you, so you can see how they went:



They turned out fairly good considering the soiling, though a slight amount of irreversible fabric wear had occurred - most likely from going too long before being cleaned. Remember, soiling makes your fabrics wear faster! Don't hesitate to have your upholstery steam cleaned even before it 'looks' dirty. Most fabrics and carpet have soil-hiding properties, so by the time you can see the dirt or discolouration, its already quite full of all the nasties that have been worked into the material over time.

Give Diamond Carpet Cleaning a call to keep your upholstery fresh and clean. It always feels so much better relaxing in a soft, clean and fresh chair, as opposed to one that is oily, grimy or sticky.

Suede Lounge Suite clean, North Rockhampton

In July we cleaned a very soiled faux suede lounge suite. It had succumbed to a household with three under-5-year-olds, and had many spills, stains and worked-in grime.

We gave it a thorough clean with some of the stronger agents we use, then applied upholstery protector and allowed it to dry with the help of our air movers - which are large industrial fans made specifically for drying carpets and such.

Here are a few photos of the couch as we went through the cleaning process:

The mission:

And the results: (its still a little wet when these photos are taken, so the seams and some areas are a bit darker than they would be when dry)


In the end the difference was spectacular; the thorough cleaning we gave it really paid off. Sadly it had been left a bit too long since its last clean, so there were slight blemishes from wear to the fabric. Remember - soiling doesn't just look bad, it speeds up how fast your fabric wears. The particles of dirt scratch the fibres on a microscopic level, so it will never be as 'bright' or evenly-coloured as it was when new. Don't hesitate to have your carpets and upholstery cleaned! By the time you can see soiling to your carpet and upholstery, the fibres are already being scratched.

Give Diamond Carpet Cleaning a call to preserve the beauty of your home's carpet and lounge suites.

Carpet clean in Cawarral

Earlier in June Craig performed a carpet clean in Cawarral for a client. The client ordered our standard package plus rotary agitation - where we give the carpet a good scrub with our large rotary scrubber (included normally in the Deluxe package).

Here are before and after photos of a part of the carpet:

After:


The nylon carpet came up very well, except for an unknown stain which wouldn't budge even after hitting it with a few different stain removers. Can't win them all!

Lounge suite clean in Rockhampton

In June, Craig cleaned a lounge suite for a client moving out of Rockhampton. The lounge was fairly soiled, but most of the time taken to clean it was vacuuming up a lot of white dog hair worked into the material.

Here are some before photos:



And after it was cleaned:
(note that the after photos were taken before Craig has 'groomed' the lounge, which evens out the fibre's 'pattern' that comes up from the cleaning tools.)



All in all it went well though. If you would like your lounge suite professionally cleaned be sure to contact us! Don't leave it too long - the longer your lounge goes without proper cleaning the more the dirt will wear the material, hampering how good it will come back up.
