These days house hold chores are arderous, but not nearly as much as they used to be.
Where would we be without hot water on tap? Or a washing machine?
In 1902 Cecil Booth revolutionized cleaning with the invention of the first Vacuum cleaner. What an invention! Probably one of my favorites, Would we have carpets if we didn't have a vacuum cleaner....I certainly wouldn't. Just think of all the dirt and dust they would acquire, and what a pain it would be to remove.
Booth made the revelation that perhaps beating and brushing the carpets weren't the best methods to clean carpets as this kicked up quite a cloud of mess. He believed that instead of blowing the dirt out of the carpets you should suck it out. What a revelation!
Booth built a horse-drawn carriage transport his machine that ran on petrol. The carriage would draw up by the customers house and, with 800 feet hoses, they could suck the dirt out of the soft furnishings in the homes.
Technology has come far to give us the modern day vacuum cleaner.
But I do see a similarity with Booths old vacuum cleaner wagon and the current state of the art truck mounted systems we currently employ to clean peoples homes!

Anthea Turner the ultimate domestic goddess certainly knows a thing or two regarding keeping her stunning home clean and tidy. As you may have seen on her BBC3 show ‘Perfect Housewife’ nothing is out of place and everything is perfectly organised in her home. Anthea believes there is never an excuse for a chaotically-run house and now we can let you into one of her secrets of keeping her looking so beautiful … the ‘Perfect Care’ Maintenance Plan which is available from Art of Clean of Cambridge
Pierre and Laurence de Wet, owners of Art of Clean, explained Anthea wasn’t really told how to care for carpets from her supplier and after hearing all the ‘Old Wives Tails’ about cleaning she wanted to find the perfect system to look after all the carpets in her own home. So Anthea contacted the UK’s leading expert on carpet cleaning, Paul Pearce, Technical Director of the National Carpet Cleaners Association for his advice.
Paul was able to explain how regular maintenance of carpets not only gives you great looking carpet and prolongs they life, a well maintained carpet improve the indoor environment of your home. Paul assured Anthea “Studies have proven a clean carpet is like a filter to the home and will help trap airborne particles until you are safely able to remove them by vacuum or professional cleaning … so if your carpets are clean so is the air in home is cleaner.”
Paul, an international instructor in carpet cleaning went on to say “All the old myths and wives tales about carpet cleaning may have had for some truth in the 60’s or 70’s, thankfully they are no longer true. Today carpets and how we maintain them as advanced so much we can now leave carpets almost dry before the cleaner leaves, and the homeowner will notice both a clean, soft carpet and a fresh, healthy room”.
Anthea was recommended to use the service of the ALLTEC SelectTeam, a national network of professional cleaners that Art of Clean is the member for Cambridge. Anthea was so impressed by both their carpet cleaning and professional business approach when she had her own carpets cleaned she agreed to endorse the SelectTeam’s ‘Perfect Care’ Maintenance Plans.
Anthea said “I recommend the ‘Perfect Care’ Maintenance Plan from the ALLTEC SelectTeam as I understand how important cleaning is in the home and as we all lead busy lives I appreciate a great professional, reliable service … and that’s what you get from the SelectTeam members and continued service all year round.”
If you think carpet is something that is only done once the carpet has changed colour with dirt, by a guy with buckets of water maybe you would you benefit from a free ‘Healthy Home Audit’ from Art of Clean.
A ‘Healthy Home Audit’, explained Pierre, is free advice on how best to look after and maintain the furnishings in your home to help keep the family healthy. Often people will request to have the downstairs carpet cleaned only, but if you think that we all spend between a quarter to a third of our lives in just one room … the bedroom … the upstairs is important to look after as well. On the Audit we ask a number of questions before giving you a free printed report with your suggestion on how to keep your home health.
If you decide to go ahead and have cleaning done, a fully trained professional cleaning will give you what Art of Clean call “The most thorough cleaning you’ve every seen of it’s FREE!” This guarantee means if you are not delighted with the clean they will reclean for free, if you are still not happy the will refund any money paid to them.
Of course you may choose just a one off clean, but a lot of Art of Clean’s client prefer the easy and peace-of-mind of joining the ‘‘Maintenance Plan". The plan give you all year round clean carpets by deep cleaning your carpets once a year, with a free ‘high-light’ clean for the walk ways in 6-month and free unlimited spot and stain call outs.

Following the fire at Murfitt Industries, off Wisbech Road, near Littleport many residents in the eras will start experiencing a build-up of the airborne pollutants that will now settle on the furnishings and carpets in their homes.
A few tips on how to restore and maintain your carpets following the incident:
1. Keep windows and doors shut till well after the fire has been put out 2. Make full use of walk off mats at doorways to prevent the spread of the pollutants into your home. Remember this debris has settled on all levels outside your home and now stick to your feet and on your clothes and skin as you enter your home. 3. Ensure pets are groomed and cleaned as they will also help treading the dirt and pollutants in from outside. 4. Increase your vacuuming of carpets, furnishings and rugs to at least every other day. 5. Empty your vacuum cleaner bag before it reaches the half full level. 6. Use a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner 7. Get all carpets and soft furnishings and rugs professionally cleaned by Art of Clean.

Regular vacuuming of carpet areas help removes dry soil. Dry soil acts as an abrasive that will ware your soft plush carpet fibres out and retire your carpet to an early grave. In this day and age we all want to make the most from our investment.
Choosing the correct vacuum cleaner is just as important as vacuuming in the firs place. I always advise clients to look for the following when choosing a machine?
Upright vacuum cleaning with disposable bags. Hepa filer system Beater/brush bar. This lifts much more of the dry soil out of the carpet than a straight forward “sucking machine”
Always remember empty your vacuum on a regular basis – Do not use it over half full.
Vacuum slowly and in two directions – It does not help you rush the job. Do it right or don’t do it at all.
