Spring Cleaning with Sparkle

I woke to a beautiful Irish Spring Sunny day and decided with all the winter traffic through my house it was time to clean my carpets.
Some months previously, I had my carpets cleaned by another company and already they were mucky and dull again, so this time I decided to do my research.
Chem-Dry seemed to fit my desired "drier, cleaner and healthier" requirements for carpet cleaning.
I had been researching a book about how important it is to have a fresh clean carpet environment which points out that, toxins enter our bodies by inhaling polluted air and more and more research shows how important it is to keep your carpet cleaned.
I came across Scallan Mills Cleaning Services on the internet. Kevin Mills and Philip Scallan have bought 4 separate Chem-Dry franchises in the Dublin region as they reckon it is the best system in the market for cleaning. They have Chem-Dry Express, Chem-Dry City Express, Chem-Dry West Express, and Chem-Dry North Express. www.scallanmills.com and www.chemdry.ie
The call was made to Chem-Dry. I now understood why they use "Express" in all their franchise names… within a couple of hours, a smiling Darren rang my door bell.
I showed him around the area that had to be cleaned pointing out the stains.
Darren said to me ‘No problem, we shall have all this sorted out for you within 2 hours’.
Great ! So off I went about my business and left Darren to work away.
The next thing Hey Presto, Darren says all finished......
Wow what a great result! My carpets looked so clear, healthier and fresher too.
The rooms smelt wonderful and as the sun shined through my window the whole house felt as though it got a total spring clean in just under 2 hours.
Darren explained that no more than 2 hours is needed for the carpets to fully dry. And guess what ? They were sparkling and one week later they are still in great condition... unlike the last cleaning product which left a sticky residue on the carpet surface.
So as it says in the advertisement below is how it truly is…
Trust Chem-Dry's Carpet Cleaning products to deliver the best in home cleaning performance.
Carpets cleaned the Chem-Dry way are left sparkling clean and dry in 1 to 2 hours, not the 1-2 days you may have experienced with other carpet cleaning methods like steam cleaning. Our secret is that we use the power of effervescent, carbonating cleaning solutions that are so effective that we only need to use a small amount of moisture to achieve miraculous clean carpets. In fact, we only need to use approximately one-fifth to one-tenth of the moisture that steam cleaners use. And if that isn’t enough, the ingredients used in our cleaner are copied from Mother Nature herself. We don’t need soaps, detergents, or harsh chemicals to accomplish our great cleaning results because we’ve got the power of crystal clear carbonating bubbles.
Kevin and Philip built up their reputation with big companies, providing such a good service that companies like the Beacon, Morrisson and the HSE started asking them what else they provide in terms of cleaning services.
Initially they just provided carpet cleaning services then because of the client demand, upskilled themselves, branched out and diversified into windows with the technology to reach buildings over 100ft like the Beacon
Working with the Eastern Area Health Board, and being in a hospital environment, they have also completed courses in cross infection control and now offer that service also.
Darren explained about their wonderful settee service and I said I will call him again to experience this so check keep a eye and check out my blog to see what happens when my settee receives the Chem-Dry Experience sparkle ...
