My work: before and after photos

Every before and after photo here is from a real job around Christchurch, photographed on the day by me. No retouching. Every carpet is different, so results vary with the fibre, the stain and how long it has been there.

Watch a real clean

Thirty seconds of real jobs: pre-spray, hot water extraction, a rug cleaned on site, couches and outdoor cushions, then before and after photos.

My own footage from real jobs. Sound on for the music.

Carpets in homes and rentals

Lounges, bedrooms, hallways, stairs and empty rentals before handover. Most of the change is the traffic lanes and the colour coming back.

Stains

Honest results. Some marks lift fully, some get much lighter, and I tell you which is likely before I start.

Carpet stain before, during and after treatment, fading with each stage
Treated in stages: the mark fades with each pass. A faint shadow remained, which is common with older stains.
Food spill on carpet before and after treatment
A food spill lifted out of the pile, with a faint mark left behind.
Old spill mark on carpet before and after treatment
An older spill mark, much lighter after treatment.

Pet urine

A UV check first, then treatment matched to the carpet.

A UV torch shows urine that is invisible in normal light, so I treat the whole affected area, not just the spot you can see.
