Ironically, the customer waiting to have the item cleaned caused the staining and damage which she was so afraid would be done during the cleaning process. Her fear was understandable to us, however, since cotton fabric can be very difficult to clean. It takes extreme care with the correct chemicals and upholstery cleaning process in order to properly care for the cotton fabric and prevent it from becoming discoloured.

As you can see from the pictures of the lounge below, there is still some major restoration work which needs to be done on the piece. With over fifteen years of wear on it, the lounge could not, of course, be made to look brand new, but the customer was thrilled with the results. Her fear of having her lounge cleaned has been relieved, and she now wishes to have All Aces clean the item every twelve months.

Certified Upholstery Cleaning

At All Aces Services, our technicians are certified by The Clean Trust, formerly the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). This training gives them the expertise that they need in order to identify the many different types of fabrics and know exactly which chemicals and procedures they need to use to insure that they achieve the best possible upholstery cleaning results.

So if you have an item such as this lounge which you are afraid to have cleaned, please do not hesitate to let us at All Aces Services clean the piece for you. Whether it is new, or has been passed down through several generations, we will take the utmost care in handling, cleaning, and caring for your item. Call our experts now to insure that your lounge or other furniture piece receives the best possible upholstery cleaning and care.

She was so sure that her new wool carpet was ruined, but then she remembered that her friend in Noosa had recently used a carpet cleaner for her stain removal. Her friend had spilt some nail polish on her carpet and called All Aces Services who removed the stain.

The worst and most common mistake that people make is trying all the different chemicals that are usually stocked under their kitchen sink. These chemicals and cleaning agents can actually cause more damage to the wool carpet than the stain itself.

Professional Stain Removal on the Sunshine Coast

She called All Aces Services and we calmed her down and had one of our friendly qualified technicians there first thing the next morning. She was apprehensive at first but when she saw just how professional we were and removed the stain completely for her she was amazed.

There are plenty of carpet cleaners out there that advertise for stain removal but are not professionally trained or certified by an independent organisation. Our technicians are fully trained through the Clean Trust (formerly IICRC) and know how to do professional stain removal in the home.

So if you have a stain that you think can’t be removed, even if you have already tried other carpet cleaning companies with no success, then give us a call before you try anything else on it. If we don’t make a difference to your stain with our stain removal services in the first 15 minutes then it’s FREE.

Now, if you invested a lot of money on flooring that is “supposed” to be easy to maintain, and on one that shouldn’t have gotten damaged so easily, it would be quite upsetting to see it become milky and flaky.

Interestingly, however, after a thorough floor inspection by our highly qualified technician on the Gold Coast, it seemed as if the general cleaners, who were hired by the client each week applied straight acid cleaner on the floor. This lifted the flooring’s sealer, making it look disgustingly milky and flaky!

So, to start the restoration process, another one of our highly trained technicians, from All Aces Services, spent two very long nights just removing all the damaged sealer and then, reapplying 5 coats of sealer on the flooring.

Get the Right Maintenance Cleaning Advice

I consider the experience kind of bitter sweet. The floor looked great in the end, and was back to its original condition. However, because of all the hard labour, it did not come cheap. To avoid the same thing from happening again, we advised the client to use our maintenance cleaning products in cleaning the floor. We also kept a maintenance schedule, just to make sure they enjoy their beautiful rubber flooring for as long as they can.

It is rather unfortunate that the client had to spend that much just to repair brand new flooring. Then again, the lesson here is that, it pays to do your research. Had the client known what to do, it would have saved him a lot of money.

All Aces Services provides quality cleaning and protection services, which are done only by qualified and technically proficient personnel. Visit our website for more updates, and other relevant information on how to maintain and extend the life of your hard flooring whether it be vinyl, wood, concrete or tiles.

The employee had already called a different carpet cleaner earlier, but they had done more harm than good. The cleaners left the carpet dripping wet, sticky, with a noticeably different texture from the rest of the carpet in the room.

The owner seemed to have a real carpet emergency, and so, we decided to help by immediately sending a carpet cleaner to her property in Herston.

When the technician inspected the soiled carpet, it had small marks, with some discolouration. Based on his expert assessment, our carpet cleaning technician suggested that the Deluxe Carpet Cleaning Package would be enough to correct the carpet damage in the room, and soon thereafter, all the marks were removed and the carpet was restored back to its original colour that matched the colour of the rest of the carpet in the room. The client was absolutely overjoyed, to say the least.

It turned out that the earlier carpet cleaner contacted by her employee was not able to present any certification or any proof of training. When these documents were requested, the cleaners left rather promptly, perhaps because they probably didn’t acquire any formal training on carpet cleaning.

Unfortunately, carpet cleaning is a poorly regulated industry. Multiple entities can easily pretend to be certified or trained in providing carpet cleaning services without fear of being apprehended. The only way to make sure that you get and pay for only what you deserve, contact ONLY certified and trained professionals to provide your carpet cleaning needs. Because, you might end up spending more, and your carpet might look more damaged than before.

Several companies have been caught copying The Clean Trust symbol (formerly the IICRC) on their carpet cleaning web site. That is why, in these modern ages, it’s quite hard to be sure you are getting a legitimately certified and registered carpet cleaner. So, you can be sure that you get only quality and efficient services by certified and highly trained professionals in carpet cleaning, visit The Clean Trust website and find a registered carpet cleaning firm in your area.

You may also visit the All Aces Services website or give us a call on 1800 00 10 10 so you can check-out the appropriate carpet cleaning services that would suit your needs. There’s also a section that shares the comments and testimonials given by our happy clients, because with All Aces Services, customer satisfaction is guaranteed!

1. Pre inspect - I never knew carpet guys could know so much about your carpets, but All Aces Services technicians are trained through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration, so they know how to identify carpets and do professional stain removal.
2. Pre vacuum – carpet cleaners will usually try to get out of this step.
3. Move furniture – carpet guys don’t usually do that.
4. Pre spray – yes, carpet guys do that step, but All Aces Services use heat with their spray so that the product can start to work right away.
5. Agitate – no, most carpet guys don’t do that. This helps to work in the products and clean your carpets so much better.
6. Extract – yes, all carpet guys do this, but All Aces Services invest $40,000 in their truck mounted equipment so you are getting the best possible heat and extraction power.
7. Neutralise and deodorise with the proper products to leave no sticky residue and makes them smell great.
8. Dry Pad – this is great, it leaves the carpets touch dry, NOT wet like other carpet guys.
9. Replace furniture – yes they move it all the way through the process.
10. Groom – this makes your carpets look good and helps them dry even more.

So as you can see All Aces Services are really ACE when it comes to carpet cleaning. But that is not all they do, they also do upholstery cleaning, tile and grout cleaning, rug cleaning and pest control.

As people say, you get what you pay for, and you really do.

So call us on 1800 00 10 10 and let me tell you how we can make your carpets look great.

The fire in the property started in the kitchen, however it was found relatively early and most of the fire damage was contained in the kitchen area. However, fire causes smoke and smoke causes staining on walls and furniture and leaves and odour. At All Aces Services we are professionally trained in Fire Damage Restoration and also Odour Removal.

Smoke on Ceiling

The best way to explain what we do is to show the before and after pictures of the areas we cleaned and let you judge for yourself whether or not you agree that we are Fire Damage Restoration experts.

Half-way through our Fire Damage Restoration

As  part of our Fire Damage Restoration process we use drop sheets, move furniture if necessary and use dry sponges to clean and decontaminate affected walls, ceilings, cupboards and hard floors. Dry sponging removes the loose soot from surfaces in the most efficient manner to reduce staining.

Once we have dry sponged an area, we commence wet washing the affected area using an odour counteractant blended with a de-carboniser. This process ensures that any odour trapped in hard surfaces is removed.

This particular property did not have damaged carpet and upholstery, but All Aces Services are fully equipped to perform Fire Damage Restoration Services on carpets and upholstery as well using odour counteractants and HEPA vacuums.

Kitchen Area After Fire Damage Rectification

We think you will agree that our Fire Damage Restoration services are of the highest quality. If you need experts in Fire Damage Restoration, call All Aces Services immediately on 1800 00 1010.

All Aces Services is one company that is going to 100% guarantee you that if the services are not carried out to the highest possible standard we will re-clean it for you at no extra charge.

All Aces Services does about 3 to 5 re-cleans a week on the Gold Coast resulting from dodgy carpet cleaning operators. Having to pay twice for a carpet clean due to incorrect practices isn’t something you want when moving.

You should think about rug dyeing. This will eliminate all of your problems. Firstly it will save you money on purchasing a new rug and secondly you have the chance to even change the colour if you’d like to.

When thinking about rug cleaning and dyeing your rug there are some questions you should ask yourself:

1. How much did the rug cost?
2. How much will it cost to replace the rug?
3. What colour or result do you want to achieve?

When dyeing a rug, the main colours we can use are your stronger colours like greens, greys, blacks, and blues etc. Unfortunately we can’t dye with lighter colours such as cream or beige.

In the photos you’ll see two different rugs, one is being dyed green and the other charcoal. The green rug had the latex glue coming through from the backing that had caused a permanent orange/yellow staining which cannot be removed. We performed thorough rug cleaning then dyed numerous times to achieve the results the customer wanted.

On the 2^nd rug you’ll notice all of the brown stains. These are actually urine stains and they have damaged the fibres in the rug. The customer wanted to keep the rug about the same colour so what we have done is spot dyeing on the stains to turn the brown into a grey then we applied a different shade of grey to blend the colour in.

At the moment we are doing tests on ways to dye other fibres like viscose which is a synthetic fibre. Once we have found a way to dye these fibres I will have more photos to show you.

Rug dyeing is not a complicated procedure so if you want to save your rug, don’t hesitate in thinking about this option. If you have any questions about rug dyeing or rug cleaning, please contact the rug dyeing experts at All Aces Services on 1800 00 1010.

Moth damage close up

You’re vacuuming your rug and you have noticed some of the fibres are starting to pull away as you vacuum. You get down on your hands and knees and you see bald patches or a web like pattern on your rug like the ones in the photos. What can this be?

I’m sorry to say your rug has become dinner for our pesky friends the carpet moth and carpet beetle.

Pest Control for Moths

They do their damage in the larval stage where they are (horror of horrors) little maggot like creatures. Moth larvae can cause damage to a rug in a matter of weeks. They eat just the woollen fibre and leave a web like pattern. Moths rarely infest rugs that are in regular use. They prefer to be left alone and usually seek out rugs that are being stored or find spots that are under the furniture. They also prefer dark places. So a rug that is walked on and vacuumed regularly is hardly at risk.

Rugs or sections of rugs covered by furniture must be disturbed from time to time to prevent moths from settling in. This means moving furniture off the rugs every several months or so and vacuuming. When doing pest control inspection on a rug for moths, remember that most moth damage is to the back of a rug where moths are least likely to be disturbed. So examine the back of the rug and look for moths, moth larvae or the webbing they leave behind. (as shown in the photos)

Pest Control for Carpet Beetles

They lay eggs in dust and lint in dark, hard to access places. Both the adults and larvae eat wool rugs (and sometimes silk rugs), but most damage is done by the larvae. While moths eat through wool rugs leaving a web like pattern, carpet beetles eat right through the rug, cotton foundation and all.

If you find your rug has been infested by moths or beetles we have pest control technicians based in the Sunshine Coast region, Brisbane area and the Gold Coast. You are more than welcome to bring your rug straight to our factory at Murarrie where our qualified technicians can assess the problem and find a solution to solve this problem. Contact All Aces Services today for solutions to your carpet moth and beetle problems.

We asked her to send us some photos of the carpet and rug that was cleaned at her house in Calamvale. It was terrible! There was a whole section of carpet that wasn’t even cleaned and there was a stain left behind a bedroom door. The colours had all run on her very expensive rug and the tiles throughout her house were left filthy by the “cleaners”.

The Brisbane South carpet cleaning company didn’t mention that the carpets were required to be vacuumed before they arrived; unfortunately she had assumed this would be included in the price. They didn’t offer to help move any furniture or ask if she had any concerns i.e allergies, chemical sensitivities or problem areas.

They took her money and left only leaving her with a receipt. There was no further advice and no detailed report on the carpet or rug cleaning. Being a young mum she was afraid to call them back, they had taken her money and provided her with nothing. She also didn’t feel comfortable allowing them in her house again.

If the phone operator had just asked some basic questions they would have realised that she and her 2 year old daughter were both asthmatics and her daughter suffers from chemical sensitivities. There were spots on the carpet she was concerned about, and she couldn’t possibly move all the furniture on her own. The rug was very expensive and was imported. Her parents had brought it back for her as a present after one of their holidays.

She was extremely grateful that we, the staff at All Aces Services, could assist her with all of her concerns. We were able to thoroughly assess her situation and provide recommendations as well comprehensive advice. We also have a 100% no risk money back guarantee on all of our services for your peace of mind.

When calling a carpet cleaning company in the South of Brisbane, please make sure that they are certified through the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) and find out exactly what you are getting for your money. There is no value in poor service.

Now let’s relate this to your dear old rug at home. The rug hasn’t been cleaned for many years and has general soiling. The “garnish” on your rug, the fringes, are looking brown and not very appealing.

How do you make the final touches on your rug look fantastic? It’s called fringe treatment. First we clean your rug using our 13 step deluxe rug cleaning process. Once the rug is dry we carefully apply a specialised cleaning solution to a small section of your fringes, then we apply steam and extract the cleaning solution out. And look at the difference:
If your fringes look clean the whole rug looks amazing.

We can do a fringe treatment on all types of rugs no matter what state the fringes are in. Next time you book your rug cleaning at All Aces Services ask our staff what else can be done to make your rug look new again. We service the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane area and our factory is just located at Murarrie.

Just remember the fringes are the foundation of your rug so look after them well and have rug cleaning and fringe treatment done annually.

The more I learn about social media, the more I understand why it is the go-to place for most people for news, reviews and general information. It is a constant hub of information to bring people together by covering a range of topics. I find news breaks quicker on Twitter and Facebook than on a direct news site. I can get a vast array of recommendations to things like restaurants and also great information on services and other businesses.

By maintaining a presence on facebook and twitter means you can be communicating with your customers subtly, without using ‘used car salesman techniques’ to use their services.  But when the time comes for your customer needing you, they won’t need to look anywhere, as you are already right in front of them.

To prove we are not ‘used car salespeople’ we invest a lot of time providing our customers with detailed videos on our services. We have a range of specialist videos on our carpet cleaning systems, rug cleaning, upholstery cleaning.  This gives our customers the opportunity to see how we operate and how we are dedicated to providing a quality service.

We sent one of our experienced technicians from the Sunshine Coast, and it was a 2 day job. He completely stripped the tiles right back. The technician had to make sure the tiles were completely dry before he sealed them otherwise moisture would have been locked under the sealer. This would have made the sealer look horrible and maybe even peel off.

Our technician returned to the premises on the second day and sealed the tiles with a Water Repellent solvent based sealer. This helps to preserve the tiles against the damaging effects of weather and reduces staining and efflorescence.

It was amazing how well the tiles turned out considering they had not been cleaned and sealed professionally before. The customer was ecstatic with the results and now has a good few more years out of them. If the customer maintains the tiles by having them cleaned professionally every year and also having an inspection on how the sealer is wearing, the customer may not have to replace the tiles in years to come like he was going to have to.

Your house is the one of the biggest investments you have so it makes sense to let the professionals look after it for you. Next time you have a hard floor of any kind that you would like maintained, please make sure you have All Aces Services on speed dial. Contact us on 1800 00 1010.

We recently had a call from a customer located at the Sunshine Coast, in Kuluin. She had nice wool carpet in her house and had not had a chance or even really considered protecting her carpet with carpet protection. Her grandson had just spilled a cup of coffee on the carpet creating a nice big stain.

Now let me explain the problem with coffee and what it does to wool carpet. Coffee is a dye stain. Wool is an acid dyed carpet, which means it is dyed with an acid dye. So in fact the coffee re-dyes the fibre of the carpet. Therefore you can get the idea that general carpet cleaning alone would not remove the stain.

Fortunately for our client she did the right thing even though it was a Saturday afternoon, she rang our office straight away. We were able to have one of our most experienced technicians located at the Sunshine Coast sent to her house within 2 hrs. It took our technician a while to remove the stain 100% as he had to remove the coffee dye from the carpet without removing the actual colour of the carpet.

Not only are all of our technicians at All Aces Services fully qualified through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification but so are all of our office staff. This means you can be guaranteed that all of our staff know exactly what they are doing and we back them with our 100% money back guarantee.

Next time you have a little mishap with coffee or other stains on your carpet make sure you ring the experts immediately. Contact All Aces Services on 1800 00 1010 and you will be guaranteed that your carpets are in great hands and you will get the best result possible for coffee or stain removal.

Wouldn’t it be lovely to have your carpets and upholstery freshly cleaned and then be able to walk or sit on it straight away without having it quickly resoiled due to it being left damp or wet?  Perhaps you have visitors arriving?  A birthday party?  Or maybe you are going away and need to have it ready to walk or sit on right away.

Well we have the solution:

With our 10 step Deluxe Carpet Cleaning service we have an additional step that isn’t in a basic cleaning package.  This step is called the “Rotary dry pad”.  It leaves your carpets walk-on dry and removes the last standing water from the carpet pile, reducing drying times and brightens the carpet by 20%.

You can see this in action by watching our video on our Youtube page, or on the Deluxe Carpet Cleaning page.

We also have complimentary high speed air movers that we can use in residential and commercial properties to speed up the drying process while the cleaning is being completed.

At All Aces Services our state of the art equipment and technology is what sets us apart from other carpet cleaners.  We are always striving to find the best equipment available to be able to leave your carpets and upholstery cleaner and looking and feeling amazing all year round.  There is no need to put off that dinner party or having visitors over any longer during winter.

Our friendly staff are more than happy to help you tailor a carpet cleaning program to suit your needs.  Please call us on 1800 00 10 10 so we can help you.  You don’t need to have wet or damp carpets after cleaning again!  Contact All Aces Services now for carpets or upholstery that will be left walk/sit on dry.

So you call a cheap carpet cleaner who says, “yes we can clean your rug”.  The cheap carpet cleaner comes over to your house and there they are on site cleaning your rug. Ugh, you notice that the stains are still there and the smell is only getting worse. What do you do now?

Firstly you need to understand how urine works.  It leaves the body as a hot acid and as it dries, it changes its chemical balance. When moisture is applied physically (or it could be raining and there is moisture in the air) ammonia is released which is that nasty smell we all dread.

I’m sorry to say there is only one cleaning method that guarantees 100% removal of urine odour. Your rug needs to be submerged in a wash pit that contains enzymes that will eat all of the bacteria away.

Here at All Aces Services, we have the largest wash pit in Brisbane and we can submerge rugs of any size. In the photo you’ll see rugs being submerged in our wash pit.  They will stay in there for nearly 24 hours.  This isn’t a small job as cheap carpet cleaners would lead you to believe as the process for cleaning urine rugs is quite detailed.

• First we badger and vacuum the rug
• The urine stained rug is submerged in our wash pit for up to 24 hours
• We then wash and extract the water from the rug thoroughly
• The rug is then dried
• Finally we re-clean the rug using our deluxe cleaning process

If you have found that your naughty pet has urinated on your favourite rug please don’t bother trying to clean it yourself. If a cheap carpet cleaner says they can clean it on site, please ask them how, because adding water can set off ammonia gas. You are better off calling the experts at All Aces Services with the largest wash pit in Brisbane, as we love cleaning urine stained rugs!

Contact All Aces Services now on 1800 00 1010 to book in your urine stained rug for cleaning or if you have any further questions on cleaning urine stained rugs.

When leather is not maintained it loses its protection. This exposes the leather to the harsh environment of everyday wear and tear and you will not get the life out of your leather that you should. By adopting a routine care and maintenance plan for protected leathers, you will help keep the leather clean and the surface protected and thus helping the leather to meet your expectations.

Jai spent a good couple of hours fully cleaning the lounge with our Leather Master Soft Cleaner and then reprotecting the lounge with a Leather Master Protection Cream. As you can see from the before and after pictures (one cushion in each picture is before and one cushion is after) all of Jai’s hard work has paid off and the customer could not have been more happy with the result. We have highly recommended that the customer maintains the leather by getting the leather cleaned every 6 months as the leather sees so much wear. This will ensure the customer gets the most life and value out of her lounge.

All Aces Services are fully trained through Leather Care Master and it gives the technicians the expertise to be able to identify the different types of leather like aniline, nubuck and protected. So they know what products they can and cannot use on your leather to get the best possible clean. So next time you need your leather cleaned make sure you give the professionals a call. Call All Aces Services on 1800 00 10 10.

I asked Garry Carroll, the owner of All Aces Services, about it.  He recommended the use of the petrol powered high pressure water cleaner.  I arranged to have a qualified All Aces Services technician come out and clean my out door area.  As the technician worked and the dirt and grime was blasted away we couldn’t believe our eyes.  As you can see from the photo on the right, the pavers are actually a creamy colour with a red border.  Who would have thought??!!

Also in our outdoor area we have a wooden seating structure bordering the gardens.  This had become black looking over time and nobody really wanted to sit there.  The high power water pressure cleaner was able to blast away the grime and they came up looking fresh and wooden again.  They are now much more appealing to sit on.

We are extremely pleased at how nicely the outdoor area looks now.  We are no longer ashamed to have visitors over to see it.

The high powered water pressure cleaning system is extremely effective on driveways, concrete, bricks, walls and also on roofs.  It is also effective in graffiti removal, grease, mould, paint and rust removal.  If you are located in Brisbane or on the Sunshine Coast and require high pressure water cleaning, please call All Aces Services on 1800 00 10 10 and we can arrange to have a qualified technician over to your place for amazing results.  You won’t regret it, we certainly didn’t!

The challenge : Cream coloured Acrylic Carpet vs Blue Paint

While painting an area within the home, paint had accidentally leaked across the carpet.  Approximately 30 spots of water based paint had dripped over the carpet.  We attended to the property within 1 hour of receiving the call.  The paint spots had hardened and dried into small balls in the fibre.

By rinsing the affected area, this began to moisten the paint in the carpet fibers. By using a spray bottle with warm water and focusing on the more difficult spots, dwelling time allowed the paint to soften and be extracted from the carpet. More spots proved to be more difficult than others due to the amount of paint, but with a lot of patience and persistence, all the paint spots were removed.

Our customer did the best thing you could do in a situation such as this, he called a professional.  By not attempting to remove the paint himself or agitate the spots by rubbing at them and potentially causing more damage, we were able to remove the paint out of the carpet 100%.

If you have a stain emergency in Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, contact All Aces Services immediately or call us on 1800 00 1010. We are here to help with your spot and stain removal.

These boats can be worth 10’s of millions of dollars often with beautiful tailor made carpet and polished wood grain tables. Whilst the boats can be a similar size to house it can take twice or even three times the amount time to clean. This can be due to the high quality of carpet, the size of the areas (being so small) or items that can be broken or scratched if the high care is not taken.

Jai and Ray recently cleaned the carpets and upholstery on this particular boat located at Raby Bay. It took them almost all day and they made sure they used drop sheets throughout the boat. Jai cleaned the boat while Ray held the hoses making sure they were not running on and ruining any of the beautiful wood grain. Once again the owners were extremely happy with the end result.

All of our technicians are qualified through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification so you can be assured that they know how to identify types of fibres and how to complete expert stain removal.  We also have a full factory set up located at Murarrie where items such as rugs, upholstery, linen and curtains can be cleaned.

So when you are thinking of getting your pride and joy cleaned, take the hassle out of all of the phone calls. Call All Aces Services first on 1800 00 1010 so we can send one of our qualified technicians to provide a free quote.

The answers to these questions may be all it takes to save you a fortune later on down the track.

This month a lady rang around to get the cheapest pricing. The quality of the service wasn’t on her mind as she was moving out of her rental property and was just after a receipt like so many other tenants around South East QLD.

After she chose the cheapest carpet cleaner, she was left with extremely wet carpet that resulted in a financial blow out. When the cheap cleaners visited her place on the Thursday they over-wet the carpet and there was soil still evident.  The real estate company were not happy so they asked the cheap carpet cleaner to come back and fix it on the Saturday morning. The cheap company were there for only 15 minutes and needless to say it was still over-wet and soiled.

The tenant than rang All Aces Services and spoke to our qualified technician and owner Garry Carroll about this situation. Garry went out to inspect the carpets and to assess them. He discovered that the wrong cleaning chemical had been used and there was so much water on the carpet that it went through the carpet, through the underlay and into the cement flooring.

By the time it took to inspect, report, install drying fans over the weekend and then provide a deluxe carpet cleaning service the cost for the tenant had quadrupled.

The unqualified technician had charged $100, he came out twice and still didn’t fix the problem as he didn’t know how to. If only the tenant had asked these few questions in the first place she would have saved a lot of money, as this restoration ended up costing her $682 to fix.

So please ask questions before booking in a carpet cleaner to clean your carpets on a rental move out. All Aces Services would have originally charged $132 for this job. It would have been done correctly the first time around by one of our fully qualified and trained technicians and would have had our 100% money back guarantee. If you are in Brisbane, Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast, call All Aces Services now on 1800 00 10 10 to book in your move out clean.

We have a variety of Anti-Allergen treatments in our Responsible Care range. We can apply them in your home to carpet, upholstery and mattresses and we even have a laundry detergent available to purchase from our factory. All of the products we use in the Responsible Care range are non-toxic, dye and perfume free, contain no volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), phosphates or other hazardous materials and are biodegradable and environmentally safe. The products are actually derived from renewable fruit and vegetable seeds. The products are specially formulated to use around people with allergic illnesses and chemical sensitivities.

Did you know…..

The Environmental Protection Agency and its Science Advisory Board have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health?

Mattresses contain 60% of the dust mites found in the home. This would be the number one priority in treating as this is where we spend one third of our lives.

When walls, flooring, carpets or parts of your home stay wet for longer than 24 hours, mould and bacteria will grow. This can result in the release of severe allergens into your home. Mould produces mytotoxins, which have the potential to produce toxic affects to our immune system and internal organs.

Every home has dust mites. You can’t see them but they are there. They feed on our skin flakes, as we shed over half a kilogram each year.

Cockroaches are attracted to food and moisture – including crumbs, cooking grease and plain water. After dust mites, cockroaches are the second largest group of indoor allergens. It’s important to remove or tightly cover all food and water, especially at night when cockroaches are more active.

Between 75% and 90% of families with pet allergies do not take their physician’s advice and remove their pets from the home. Symptoms of pet allergies would be watery and itching eyes, hives, sneezing, coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing.

As you can see there are many factors that can contribute to allergies and we do have the solutions. Your family’s health is our number one priority, allow us to formulate a treatment plan for you as soon as possible. Your health is everything, the longer you wait the more you could be putting yourself and your family at risk. Contact All Aces Services now on 1800 00 10 10 for your green cleaning and allergy cleaning solutions.

Due to the long pile, various thicknesses and designs that are out there today, it is important to maintain your shagpile rug by cleaning it regularly. Cleaning shag rugs however, can be tougher than ordinary rugs.  Due to the type of pile these rugs have, they require even more attention than regular rugs.

A few handy rug cleaning tips for shag pile rugs:

• To keep your rug in tip top shape, vacuum it regularly, at least twice per week
• Sweep rugs with a bristle broom to get right down to the foundation of the rug
• Take the rug (if it is not too large) and hang over the washing line or outside railing.  Use a stick or bat to beat the rug in order to loosen any soiling,

When cleaning rugs at our rug cleaning facility at Murarrie, we thoroughly beat the rugs to loosen any particles in the rugs. We often use the rug badger.  Once we have released all of the inground dirt, we thoroughly wash the rugs.  Below is a photo showing our technician beating the rug and showing the dirt, and dust and foreign items that fall out of the pile.

By taking regular care of your rugs, and using the few tips above, this will help keep your rug in optimum condition in order to prolong the life of your rug, and help keep any allergies at bay.

If you have any questions about rug cleaning or wish to book your rug in with us, please contact All Aces Services or call us on 1800 00 1010.

Carpet moths or beetles prefer to eat foods from animal products, such as skins, furs, feathers, wool, hair and dead insects, but they also eat cotton to some extent. Carpet beetles and clothes moths seem to like the keratin which is a component of animal hair. This is found in certain materials which include wool, fur and feathers

Our client was located on the south side of Brisbane. She did the right thing and rang All Aces Services as soon as she discovered the problem. We sent one of our qualified technicians to clean the carpet first and we obviously took a lot of great care around the areas where the carpet beetle had already damaged the carpet. Once the carpet was nice and clean we sent Matt who is our qualified pest control technician. He completed a thorough pest control treatment of the entire house. The client was ecstatic with how easy it was to resolve her situation. Also her mind was now at ease as we will complete her carpet clean and pest control every 12 months so her carpet is kept in pristine condition and we can avoid any more damage.

Next time you notice that something like this has happened to your beautiful wool carpet, immediately call a professional pest control service and carpet cleaner. All Aces Services can provide these services so call us today on 1800 00 1010.

At All Aces Services we strive to be different to the rest. When you look in the Yellow Pages or on the internet you are inundated with literally hundreds of carpet cleaners. It becomes very overwhelming and you wonder if they all offer the same services.

Do you find that when you start calling the companies from the list you have already narrowed down, that you have a price within seconds of asking? Do you have any idea of what you are getting for your money? You may have some stains that you would like attended to or some odour problems. They tell you they offer stain removal for free but are they going to guarantee it?

We had a phone call from a potential client located at Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast. She had recently bought her first house and was moving into the property in 4 weeks. It was a very exciting time for her and when she rang us her first question was, “how much is it to get my carpet cleaned?” We started by finding out why she needed her carpets cleaned. Then we asked more questions to find out the information that we needed to provide professional carpet cleaning services. What was her main concern? Did she have any spots or stains? Did she have any allergies? How long after we cleaned the carpets was she moving in? We advised our step by step process, our qualifications, our 100% money back guarantee and the equipment that we use.

The client was amazed with the amount of time we spent on the phone and that we tailor made a carpet cleaning service to meet her specific needs. We did not just say, “oh yeah, that’s $33.00 a room”. So next time you pick up the phone to book in your carpet cleaning services, make sure you know exactly what you are getting for your money. Your carpets are a valuable asset to your home, so when you get your cleaning done, you want to know that you are getting value for your hard earned money. Contact All Aces Services today on 1800 00 1010.

Polypropylene/olefin – The cheapest on the market, they are as good as a door mat. They are, however, easy to clean and great for the kids to play on.

Acrylic – Looks like wool, wants to be wool, but don’t be fooled as acrylic rugs lose their appearance over time and coarsen with age.

Viscose / art silk / rayon – Sneaky salesmen say this is silk, will tell you it’s silk and charge you as if it is silk. DON”T GET RIPPED OFF. It is cheap and nasty and can be made from any substance like wood pulp, crab shells or paper. It may look fantastic but the quality is quite poor.

Silk – Soft and smooth, very expensive, looks beautiful and is very appealing to the eye. Handed knotted rugs, especially Persian rugs, will hold their value and depending on the age can also be a great investment.

Wool – High resiliency and the ability of the pile to withstand abrasion throughout the life of a rug. A 100% woollen rug is good quality and if it is protected and cleaned professionally every year it will out live any cheap rug that is on the market.

Once you have purchased the final piece to decorate your home, we recommend that the rug be cleaned professionally once a year. If you do purchase a quality woollen rug please have it protected immediately to protect the fibre from unwanted stains.

We were recently contacted by a customer in one of the northern suburbs who had visitors arriving on the following weekend. Her lounge had a quite a severe urine odour; we wanted to offer her the best available service with our most experienced technicians as urine is quite a complex problem to deal with. Due to such a high demand of our quality services our technicians were booked out to the following week. I asked the customer questions and established that the lounge had been cleaned before by another company and that she was not satisfied as the odour had come back straight away and they didn’t come back to reclean it for her. Subsequently she chose a cheaper company again because she wanted it done before the weekend. Unfortunately we do have a lot of customers who do this and months down the track will contact us again to reclean it for them quite upset that they have wasted their money on poor service by another company offering a cheap deal without the correct qualifications or equipment.

Before choosing a carpet cleaning company please take a look at our consumer guides

First we used the Rug Badger and vacuumed the rug to remove all of the dry soiling from the rug.

We then applied a specialised cleaning solution which is applied hot.

Using high heat and extraction we started cleaning the rug. To our amazement the rug was not actually grey in colour – it was an off white. We could not believe our eyes. We cleaned the rug twice and achieved fantastic results. Please take a look the photos whilst we where cleaning.

The rug was finally completed and we contacted the customer to come and pick up the rug. I think he nearly fell over with shock as he didn’t realise what colour his rug actually was, he was so impressed he was lost for words.

So when was the last time you cleaned your rug?

You will be amazed how much dirt and soiling gets trapped in your rugs. Regular vacuuming may not be good enough unless you have an upright HEPA filter vacuum cleaner. Inspect your rugs by getting down on your hands and knees and also check whether they have a smell. You should maintain your rugs by getting them professionally cleaned once a year.

It’s a nice feeling when you make a phone call to your local carpet cleaning company, and the person who answers the phone actually knows what they are talking about. A person who has the relevant knowledge and experience and is qualified by the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification. A person who takes the time to ask you questions and finds out what they can do for you, by finding out what your problems and concerns are with your carpet, if you have any allergies or if your carpet has any spots, stains or odours.

A customer from the Gold Coast recently contacted our office for carpet cleaning. He was amazed he didn’t have to talk to an answering service or be redirected ten times as that is how every phone call had been for him. He was impressed that we took the time to ask him questions and to find out exactly what he needed.

We will not just throw a price at you without providing you with information on all our services; we understand that your home and contents are important to you and we want you to invest wisely in maintaining them.

We can tailor a carpet clean to suit your needs. Perhaps you only need traffic areas in your house cleaned; maybe some areas need quite a good scrub and need some rotary agitation, while other areas just need a maintenance clean. Our high level of service will not change no matter where you are, either the Sunshine coast, the Gold Coast, West out to Ipswich or East to the bay.

Please contact our friendly staff on 1800 00 10 10 to discuss your carpet cleaning requirements today.  We only offer quality customer service for our valued customers.

My latest success story was a company located in Brisbane at Paddington. They booked in to have their carpets cleaned as a one off but the carpets had not been cleaned in years. We sent Jai one of our most experienced and qualified technicians to clean their carpets.

Upon cleaning the carpets it was noted that the water was coming out black! You can imagine that this not only not good for the life the carpets but nor is it very hygienic. I approached them after the carpets had been cleaned. Little to say they were horrified in realising how dirty and how unhygienic their carpets were. With the feedback from the tech we have now a maintenance plan in place to have their carpets cleaned quarterly.

It is stressful enough running a business especially with added worry of knowing when carpets, pest control, air conditioners and coffee machines etc need to be serviced. We take that worry out of it for you by putting together your own personalised maintenance plan and contacting you every 3 or 6 months to organise your maintenance clean. You will now add years of life to your carpet and know that your carpet is constantly clean and hygienic for your staff and clients.

Be sure to call All Aces Services so we can put together your own maintenance plan. Whether it is for carpets, pest control, vinyl, tiles or upholstery we do it all and at a discounted rate for 6 and 3 month contracts.  Call us now on 1800 00 1010 as we are waiting to take your call.

Wool carpet is a very durable long lasting fibre, provided you look after it. Wool carpet isn’t cheap and no doubt you want to know how to take care of it, especially if you have children i.e. how to keep it soft and stain free. The more soil there is, the more difficult and expensive it becomes to clean. By implementing good house keeping practices and a maintenance plan you can ensure fabulous carpets and rugs for a long time.

I can highly recommend an annual deluxe carpet cleaning service. If you don’t have carpet protection, I would put this on your to-do list as well. A deluxe service provides the works; pre-conditioning, rotary agitation with a soft brush/pad to loosen the soiling (this cleans up to 50% better), state of the art equipment (truck mount steam extraction), deodorising and neutralising (which leaves no sticky residue and no re-soiling) and a rotary dry pad to leave your carpets walk-on dry (removes the last standing water reducing drying time and brightens the carpet by 20%). And to top it off we can move your furniture such as bedside tables, lounge suites etc and then place them back on special foam tabs to protect the carpets and furniture.

Now if you’re looking at going that extra step to protect your luscious wool carpet, go for the carpet protection. This will allow any future spills etc to bead, which allows you to clean up the liquid immediately without it penetrating the wool.

There is no job to small or too big that we can’t do including carpet repairs. With our 100% money back guarantee, our Woolsafe certified technicians will take extra special care with your wool carpet and rugs. So give us a call and we can organise the best service just for you.

It may seem like a good idea to place a rug under the exercise machine or in the kids room for them to play on in order to protect the carpet, but by leaving them on the carpet, it can cause yellow staining.

The yellow staining occurs due to the latex backing seen predominately in tufted rugs.  Latex is used to bind the primary and secondary backings together, to hold the face fibers in place.  When left on the carpet for an extended period of time, the latex can oxidize as there is no exposure to sunlight. It is more commonly found in cheaper rugs, where the latex used is of a lower quality, usually in rugs made overseas.

Some key steps to avoid your carpets being ruined by latex can be to regularly rotate your rugs.  Ensure you vacuum underneath them regularly, allowing air flow underneath the rugs.  Another good tip is to use some non slip underlay.  Underlay is a good way to prevent colour transfer on the carpet, and with certain types, is fully washable.

Non slip underlay can be cut to fit any type of rug and helps also if on a vinyl floor.  Colour transfer can also occur onto vinyl as it is a porous surface.

Should you come across this type of staining on your floors always call a professional.  It is not recommended to attempt home rug cleaning and stain removal techniques as this can cause permanent damage.

Call our friendly trained staff at All Aces Services on 1800 00 1010 should you require any further rug cleaning advice.

HEPA filters are a type of filter that is able to trap large amounts of very small particles that normal vacuum cleaners would normally puff back into the air around the home.

” True HEPA filters should be able to trap at least 99.7% of airbourne particulates of 0.3 microns or larger”.  HEPA filters help trap those small particles that can cause problems with allergy sufferers.  Dust flying through the air can trigger asthma attacks, sneezing and coughing.  By reducing the amount of airbourne particles this will help maintain cleaner air for you and your family.

By using a good vacuum with a HEPA filter, it will not only avoid nasty airbourne allergens, but will help with removing up to 70% of dry soiling out of the carpet fibres.  By giving your carpet a good vacuum every week, this will also help reduce abrasion to carpet fibres, helping prolong the life of your carpet. 

Vacuums with HEPA filters are also very beneficial with removing pet hair from the carpet.

Look into getting a HEPA filter on your vacuum, it will be a positive start to removing almost all of the negative elements from your carpet.

Every night the human body loses approximately 1 litre of body fluid through the skin, pores and mouth as well as millions of skin flakes.  Just think of it this way, we all have showers each day, we all wash our clothes, what about the mattress?  How many bugs and germs does our mattress contain?

A mattress that is not protected with a cover will have an infestation of dust mites within 3 months.  Not only dust mites but body oils, sweat, fats and DEAD SKIN – gross!  We recently got called to a job where the owner had rented out his fully furnished unit in New Farm.  The tenants had never picked up a broom or a vacuum cleaner once during their stay.

He generously supplied the tenants with a brand new mattress protector – which they kept neatly in the cupboard in the original packaging for the 2 years.  Our technician arrived and he had two queen size and two single mattresses.  Well lets say, who knows if they even put sheets on the bed.

There were:

• Urine stains
• Blood stains
• Food Stains
• Drink stains
• Body odour
• Oils
• Fats

You can see for yourself by just taking a look at the photos.

Unfortunately these mattresses were not able to be restored so this owner lost a lot of money due to the tenant not using the protectors and not having the mattress cleaned frequently.

It is recommended that every time you change your sheets you should be vacuuming your mattress at the same time.  You should have your mattress cleaned every year and treated for dust mites.

You spend approximately one third of your life in your bed, so it makes good sense to keep them clean.  Sleep tight and don’t let the bed bugs bite!

Everyone loves a tool that makes life easier.  If you can get a mop that can clean and leave no streaks it must be brilliant and if it can even clean honey off carpet?  I haven’t seen anything more ridiculous… that steam alone will clean your tiles…

Many calls are received into our head office at Murarrie are about customers having dirty grout.  When asking what they clean their tiles with, the most common answer is a steam mop.  No cleaning agents, just simply water or a drop of eucalyptus oil.

Common agents used with the steam mop such as vinegar, eucalyptus oil, methylated spirits or even just hot water will not clean your tiles.  Cleaning tiles with these products will cause dirt to be attracted to the grout, causing them to be come tacky and even staining the grout.

Avoid using high alkaline products on your tiles – many products from the supermarket are high alkaline products and if using too much will leave a residue and cause your tiles to resoil quickly.  Using a neutral pH cleaner that has high cleaning power, will do wonders.  By agitating the cleaning solution into the grout with a grout brush and then mopping over them will give the best clean and help maintain your grout and get the longest life out of your tiles.  All Aces Services offers tile and grout cleaning services with high pressure truck mount power and have them looking like new again.  Have a look at our tile cleaning video at www.allaces.com.au/tile-grout and see our process!

Plenty of cleaning options are also available at our factory at Murarrie.  Microfibre mops, neutral cleaner and grout brooms are also available.  Please call us on 1800 00 1010 or drop by to see us.  We are here to help you.

The following list describes some of the biggest problems carpet owners run into, along with some practical solutions.

Purchasing new carpet

Shedding – Some types of carpets will shed balls of “fluff” throughout their first year.  This is normal and should not be a cause for concern, since these balls are generally too large to become airborne.  Shedding occurs when a tuft happens to rise above the pile of the carpet.  Sprouting is also common during the first year, but can also occur throughout the life of the carpet.

Solution :  Carpet should gradually stop shedding after one year.  Vacuum regularly to shorten the amount of time your carpet sheds.  If you find a sprouting carpet tuft, cut it to size with a pair of scissors.  You could damage your carpet if you try to vacuum or pull at the tuft.

Wrinkles and Buckles – If carpet is improperly installed, it may ripple, buckle or wrinkle.  This is not normal, and should immediately be corrected.

Solution : Contact your carpet installer and have them fix your carpet by using a power stretcher.  It is best to check for defects before the installer leaves to make corrections easier.  Do not let anyone tell you that wrinkles or buckles are normal.

Long-term Carpet Problems

Crushing – Over time, foot traffic and heavy furniture can crush carpet fibres.  While a certain amount of crushing is normal for all types of carpets, some carpets like acrylic can be crushed more easily than others.

Solution : You can fight carpet crushing by vacuuming heavy traffic areas often.  You’ll also want to move heavy furniture a few inches on a regular basis or put down protective tabs and foam blocks.

Colour Loss – Fading, colour loss and yellowing can be caused by several factors including sunlight, gases passing over the surface of the carpet and cleaning chemicals.

Solution : Protect your carpet from fading and yellowing by keeping it away from dangerous chemicals and shielding it from UV radiation.  You should also invest in window drapes, colourfast carpet or even UV window protection.  Make sure you protect your carpet from colour loss, because it is usually impossible to reverse.

Staining – Stains can occur even in carpet that is generally resistant to staining and soiling.  Treat all stains as quickly as possible for best results.

Solution : Contact All Aces Services on 1800 00 1010 as soon as a stain appears.  Chemicals at your local supermarket may cause more damage to your carpet.  All of our staff are trained through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration, so we can identify your carpet fibre, identify those stains and do expert stain removal.

If you have any more questions or concerns about your carpet please call one of our friendly staff at All Aces Services.

We are finding that more and more consumers are opting for our Responsible Care Range.  This range is completely safe for people who are chemically sensitive or who have asthma.

Back to the firm who contacted us – to our delight they accepted our quote for vinyl cleaning and carpet cleaning.  Firstly we completed the vinyl cleaning and sealing using completely green products. One of our technicians based on the Sunshine Coast, was the technician who completed the job. The green products give just as good a result as any other product but without the potential of exacerbating allergies. The vinyl now has a new life and will never have to be stripped back again and will last them for years to come.

A bit later in the year we went back and completed the carpet cleaning.  We cleaned over 2000 sqm of carpet over 3 levels.  We sent two of our most experienced technicians.  This cleaning took 2 full days with the technicians operating two portable RAZORBACK CREED 300 DUAL HEAT SYSTEM’s constantly.  This machine has an amazing dual heat system and is the only Australian made portable machine.  The carpets had a fair amount of wear and stains and the green products worked just as well as any other chemical we could have used.

To say the least, the firm was ecstatic with the results we achieved especially using the green products.  We are now in discussions to put them on a maintenance plan to maintain the life of the hard floor and carpets.

If you have any questions about our Responsible Care Range or about how our green products work, please don’t hesitate to call us on 1800 00 1010.

The best thing the customer had done was not to try and use any carpet cleaning or stain removal products from the supermarket.  If customers do use other products on stains it can set the stain and hinder how well our products do work.  All of our technicians are trained and qualified through the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification.  This allows our technicians to provide expert stain removal and fibre identification.

If you follow this link to the Stain Removal page on our website, you can watch a video of our technicians in action.

We sent one of our most experienced technicians out to do the job.  With his professional stain removal kit he removed the stains.  The stains did take a couple of hours but they were removed 100% as you can see from the pictures.  The customer was over the moon as we saved him from having to buy a new mattress and installing new carpet.

Things to remember when you have a similar situation:

• Don’t use products from the supermarkets.  These products are not designed for all types of carpets and can react with your stain.
• Don’t use home remedies as they can also react with your stain.
• Leave your stain to the professionals – this can save you money and stress.

Over the last few weeks, a large number of rugs have arrived at our factory at Murarrie for cleaning.  Many of them contain viscose.  They are looking tired, worn and lacking life in the fibre.  As viscose /rayon is  bi-product of cotton, it tends to yellow or brown due to moisture.  By ‘wet’ cleaning this fibre, it will cause blossoming to the tip causing irreversible damage.  The fibre doesn’t tend to hold dye very well and can lose colour on the first cleaning.

Prices of these rugs can vary from a few hundred dollars into the thousands when custom made.  Is it worthwhile buying this fibre due to its asthetic benefits?  Probably not.  A good quality woollen rug will outlast and be a more practical choice for the home or office.

Should you spill anything on your viscose rug, avoid adding water or any high alkaline product such as bi-carb of soda.  Call a professional to assist and advise you on the best methods of cleaning your rug – as hasty home remedies will cause more of a headache, or a very costly lesson. 

Art Silk….Pretty indeed… but very unpractical!!

One controllable culprit in the battle of allergens is the house dust mite.  As most people spend up to 1/3 of their life in bed it could be that their mattress is one of the causes of the problem.  As we can pay up to $10,000 for our mattresses we should look after them.  Humans are constantly shedding their skin which provides food for the dust mite and the mattress provides a warm and humid environment for dust mites to live.  No matter how clean your home is, it is likely that there will be dust mites found here.

It is recommended that mattresses should be cleaned every six months by a professional cleaner.  Using an extraction method is the best way because this will reduce allergens.  To reduce allergen irritants in between regular cleaning, a professional cleaner can also apply a neutralising spray.  This spray neutralises a protein in the dust mite faeces which is what acts as a trigger for allergies.  It is not a pesticide.

Our mattresses are contaminated with dust mites, dust mite faeces, dead skin, body oils, sweat stains etc.  The average dust mite is 0.5mm in length and is not visible to the naked eye.  Over 7000 dust mites can fit on a fingernail.  A dust mite moults several times during its life, producing 200 times its weight in waste and will lay 300 eggs.  Each mite produces 40 to 100 faeces pellets per day.  The mite’s droppings are coated in an enzymatic slimy substance which, after drying, becomes mixed with other particles forming household dust.

You should have an allergen control plan which also involves regular cleaning of your carpets and other upholstery.  To control dust mites there are other steps you can take :

1. Use of air filter devices in your rooms
2. Sheets should be washed every week using hot water
3. Pillows should be washed at least 4 times a year unless a dust mite proof cover is being used
4. Blankets should be washed on a monthly basis
5. Mattresses should be professionally cleaned every 6 months

If you follow these steps you are helping yourself and your family keep allergies and allergens under control.

We have a specialised stain removal division that can remove stains such as: red wine, grease, oil, gravy, beer, soft drinks, blood, egg, candle wax, crayons, chocolate, coffee, tea, cream, milk, faeces, furniture stains, chewing gum, glue, ink, tomato sauce, cordial drinks, liquor, mustard, mould/mildew, paint, nail polish, urine, rust, soil filtration lines, shoe polish, lipstick, vomit etc.

We can remove 99% of all stains. We provide specialised treatments to remove stains that others can’t.

Without having a technician on hand 24 hours/7 days, here are some tips so that you clean your own spill/spot:

Step 1: Absorb Excess with sponge or towel. Do not rub – wipe and scoop. Rubbing leaves the area looking different and is not going to make a difference to getting the stain out.

Step 2: Place a damp towel over stain and press down to absorb moisture. Do not rub – do not use spotters or detergents from the supermarket as many will leave residues that will cause re-occurring stains and others contain bleaching agents that can damage your fibre and/or colour, or use our All Aces Services Home Pro Spotter (see below) as directed. Then blot with a dry towel.

Step 3: If step 2 is unsuccessful, do not experiment.  All stains are a chemical of one kind or another.  Your stain may respond to a specific chemical.  Call a professional for advice eg. All Aces Services.

All Aces Services: Home Pro Spotter

If you have allergies or asthma, here are some important tips:

• Read and follow label directions on cleaning products.  The label directions give the proper amount of product to use, how to use the product and any special safety advice.
• If you use spray products, spray the cleaner on a cloth or sponge first instead of on the surface.
• Break your cleaning into small tasks.  Spread it out over several days instead of doing it all at once.
• Clean in a “well-ventilated” area – open a door and a window or turn on an exhaust fan.  Leave the room when you are done cleaning and allow the room to air out.
• Try using cleaning products that have no scent or are perfume free.  Try different products to find the ones that work best for you.
• If your asthma is severe, have someone else do the cleaning.  Try to leave home before when the cleaning is being done. If you must do the cleaning yourself, wear a mask. Have asthmatic children leave the room when cleaning is being done.  Don’t ask children with asthma to dust or vacuum.  Have them do other chores like washing dishes, taking out the trash, etc.
• Use cleaning products that are “green”.  Ones without hazardous ingredients including VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).

If you follow some easy steps you can clean safely without disrupting your life with allergy and asthma symptoms.

Concrete is a porous material and you can either use a penetrating sealer which ‘fills’ all the holes leaving a ‘matte finish’ (so it looks the same as any concrete slab, but enhances the cracks and characteristics of the concrete which is now popular in the modern look). Or you can apply an acrylic top coat sealer which sits on top of the concrete and gives a ‘gloss finish’.

A penetrating sealer is more beneficial for the concrete and is easier for long term maintenance, however it has a ‘rough’ texture and is difficult for mopping. The acrylic top coat  is easy to clean as it is smooth like tiles, easy to mop and keep clean but more difficult for long term maintenance as the top coat sealer can wear down and may require top ups or stripping back and a new coat being put down over the top.

We have recently been contacted by one our large building insurance clients to complete a concrete sealing job. The insured’s home has had some severe water damage throughout which has required some extensive building works to take place.

When the water has gone over the polished concrete floor it has damaged and broken down sections of the sealer which does not give off an attractive appearance.

Our technician attended the site to test some areas with stripper to ensure the pre-existing sealer would be easily removed and also tested a small area to determine the correct sealer to use for the job.

Despite their names…. Clothes Moths can eat carpet and Carpet Beetles can eat clothes… so its best to watch out for all of them!

Clothes Moths can attack clothes that have been stored for a period of time or blankets that have been stored for the summer.  You may find small irregular holes in your knitted goods where the insect has eaten through the yarn.  The insect will leave droppings around the damaged area.

Carpet Beetles will bury deep into the carpet’s foundation and in some cases, the infestation may go unnoticed for some time.  Check for loose pile or eaten areas of the carpet and any insect debris such as cocoons or cast skins.  You will notice damage to the fibre when vacuuming as the carpet pile will come away in small tufts.

Some good housekeeping practices around the home will help in controlling carpet moths.  It is recommended to look under heavy furniture regularly and vacuum underneath these items.  You should also vacuum along all skirtings.  Any large infestations will require a licenced pest controller to attend in order to spray infested areas.  Examine walls, behind furniture and picture frames to see if any cases are present also.

When storing clothes or blankets for several months is is recommended that the clothes are washed or dry cleaned and stored in tightly sealed plastic bags. If eggs are present in some items, washing the clothes in hot water can kill off the eggs.

By maintaining good household practices including regular checks around the home you should be able to stay on top of the little critters!

Her husband had been working in “man land” (his garage) on a vehicle – to which he was “playing” with oil and grease and he had got it all over himself and his boots. Without even realising he walked right through the house from the garage, hallway around the kitchen a few times fixing himself some lunch, into the dining room, once he finished eating his lunch, he turned around to go back to “man land” and found his trail of disaster!!!
He knew he was going to be in trouble and thought – quick fix…. The dishwashing liquid straight on the floor with a scrubbing brush… no luck, then he headed into “man land” to see what special stuff he had to remove grease…. He tried everything – and found that he was making it worse. He rang his wife and confessed to her before she had a chance to get home… he was hoping that the initial shock would be reduced by forewarning her.
This is were we come in….Tile cleaning on the Sunshine Coast. The client made the call to us and said just attend – do whatever you need to….otherwise you may be cleaning up blood too!!!

Our technician Steve attended – and put everyone’s minds at rest we are able to help fix the tiles. The benefits that we have with our Tile cleaning process is that we use our Large Truck mounted equipment with the high heat and pressure to be able to clean across the grout and tiles at the same tile. The detergents we use are of a high grade and we have options of what we can use to handle any situation. Steve tested several areas of the tiles to ensure that the detergent that we are using would remove the oil and grease and showed our clients. The clients were very relieved that we could fix the problem. The issue that often occurs especially with grease is that the grout is porous and can easily stain the grout and when “other products” are used this can create a whole set of other issues. But these have all been avoided because of our Tile Cleaning Process.

Steve completed the entire tiled area and the clients were thrilled with the results for the fact that the Oil and Grease disaster was rectified but also that the rest of the tiles have come up almost like new. Steve did suggest sealing the grout so that any future disasters are not so much of and issue and the mopping system we recommend is used this makes keeping these freshly cleaned tiles looking like that.

Microfibre refers to the tiniest man made fibre made today.  It is so small, it is 100 times finer than human hair!   The most common types of microfibre is made from polyester, nylon or a mixture of the two.  Microfibre can be used in many different ways… for upholstery, shirts, trousers and cleaning cloths! A microfibre cloth has far more fibres than an ordinary cleaning cloth, making it a more effective cleaning tool.

Why does microfibre clean better? Microfibre will give you a better clean hands down.  There are many tiny fibres that will attach themselves to dirt.  They will remain there until such time you wash the cloth and start again.

Many people these days try to avoid using chemicals within their home as some people may be sensitive or even allergic.  By using a large amount of chemical within the home it can be costly, but also be detrimental to the environment.  By using microfibre products, there is no need for large amounts of cleaning solutions, the fibres do all the work for you.

Microfibre can be used on a range of surfaces.  Glass, granite, wood or stainless steel.  They are most effective for dusting also as the fibres trap the dust without pushing it back into the air.

At All Aces Services we stock a vast aray of microfibre solutions for your home.  Microfibre mops, cloths and cleaning blocks.  We stock a different variety of cloths for different areas of the home…. Kitchen, Bathroom, Dusting, Polishing and even for the car. Try one today!

Having a proactive maintenance schedule for the home is a way to help prolong the life of your carpet, upholstery and rugs and make it a more safe and healthy environment.  Most times we won’t call to get our carpets done until they start to look dirty and there are traffic marks in the carpet.  Or unless something is spilled on the upholstery or there is change in colour to the leather, is when we call in the professionals.

It is recommended to clean your carpets and upholstery every 12-18 months.  By vacuuming regularly (at least once per week) this will remove any loose soiling or dust within the carpet fibres.  By not doing this, the soil alone in the carpet will cause damage and abrasion to the fibre and wear it down very quickly, making your carpets look worn and tired.  Maintaining your carpets and upholstery is very similar to maintaining your teeth.  Regular check-ups at the dentist with regular cleaning will incur small interval costs as opposed to a large cost for a root canal after 5 years of not maintaining your teeth.   By maintaining your carpet and upholstery with interval cleaning throughout the year will prolong the life of the fibre, which will save you money in the end.

Some of our clients book to have their carpets, leather or fabric upholstery cleaned every 6 months.  Some of these items are 8-10 years of age but look brand new! So there is certainly some benefit to maintaining these items regularly.

Besides the asthetic or monetery benefits, there is also the health benefits.  Our trained technicians can also offer information as to further treatments that are available, such as antimicrobial treatments.  This treatment is effective for bacteria caused from dirt buildup, pets, sweat or vomit.

Give us a call to book in a service , to get your home health checkup today!

We clean and protect carpets, vinyl, leather on any size boat or camper van, whether it be in the water off road.  We have done jobs at Rivergate, Wynnum Manly Yacht Club, Gold Coast Marina and many more.  Typical cleaning that we do involves cleaning around air conditioning vents as filtration marks form, red wine stain removal from parties on board… And mattresses too. Blind cleaning and curtain cleaning is also available.  Other items we clean on board range from lamp shades, quilt covers and cushions.

As most seating areas are removable, these can be done onsite or these can be done at our factory located at Morningside.

As much of the carpet and upholstery onboard your boat is exposed to the elements such as sunlight and salt water, it is important to maintain them by cleaning and protecting them regularly.  The harsh UV rays can discolour and deteriorate fabric, leather vinyl and some carpets too.

Whether it be early morning cleaning or on a weekend we are flexible when other maintenace is being completed on board.

We are members of the Super Yacht Base Brisbane.  We have been members for the last two years and have worked on small boats to large yachts, to large super yachts.  Some super yachts that we have worked on have been valued at over $100 Million Dollars.  The use of protective equipment is a must as well as having certifications in order to clean such expensive items.  All our technicians are trained and certified through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning of Restoration.  Our experienced technicians are trained in Carpet Cleaning, Upholstery Cleaning, Rug Cleaning, Hard Surface Cleaning, Drapery Cleaning and Water Damage Restoration.

We had a wonderful Christmas lunch of which we enjoyed Roast Turkey with delicious gravy – that Garry actually ended up spilling across the floor – yes I yelled – but it was OK, we have our own bottle of Home Pro Spotter under the sink ready to go. I made Garry clean the mess up – and then we blotted the spotter on the carpet and you would even know he spilt anything on it!

Most carpets in every home are value between $3000-$10 000 and most people go straight for anything in a bright shiny bottle saying – Carpet Magic, Super Dooper Carpet Cleaner.. blah blah blah. These products can actually BLEACH the carpet and make it even worse than what you started with.  If you had a expensive suit or dress that you have spilt something on you would even think about trying to remove it yourself, you would take it straight to the professional cleaners for them to deal with it.. wouldn’t you??

The same applies to your carpet. If you are going to use a product make sure it is the Home Pro Spotter.

The benefits of using the Home Pro Spotter is that it doesn’t leave a residue on the Carpet for dirt or soiling to be attracted too. It will not take colour from your carpet or lounge suite and it will not harm any of the delicate fibres or fabrics that you have in the home.

If you don’t have a bottle of Home Pro Spotter – drop by the Morningside factory and collect one.

Make sure the Home Pro Spotter is the only thing that you use on spots or spills – call us for advice if you get stuck or log on to www.allaces.com.au for more cleaning advice
You are in safe hands with the Home Pro Spotter

1. Act Quickly Many Stains can easily be removed when they are fresh, but can be stubborn if left over a long period of time.  The best thing to do is soak up as much as you can with a white towel or cloth.  AVOID using salt or talcum powder on the stain.  A lot of articles advise these methods are great to just sprinkle on and vacuum up later…. What they don’t tell you is  that this can in fact set the stain further or bleach the carpet.

2. Don’t rush to scrub  When we say act quickly and attend to the stain, this doesn’t mean attack the stain with any and all household products and a brush.  Depending on the fibre, the household products as well as scrubbing the stain can in fact cause irriversible fibre damage and colour loss in some cases.

3. Washing the stain  Adding soda water to a red wine stain will not assist with removing the stain.  This will merely spread the stain through the underlay and make a larger area where the stain will need to be removed.  Don’t always assume that the carpet or upholstery can be washed – always read the label first.

4. Call a professional  It is important to speak with a professional regarding stain removal.  It is recommended that the technicians are trained are certified through the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration.  This will ensure that they know the most effective and safe way to remove the stain from your carpet.  Some carpets that come out of a factory can be acid dyed.  As red wine is an acid dye it will change the colour of the carpet, this can make it difficult to remove.

Any further questions? Jump online and ask our panel of experts on www.cleaningadvice.com.au   They will be able to assist you with questions relating to carpet, upholstery, rugs and much more!

Pros and cons:

If you were to grab a $5000 suit, dress etc would you race down to the supermarket to grab 5 different chemicals to remove the stain.

Lets explain stains..

A stain – a discolouration produced by foreign matter having penetrated into or chemically reacted with a material; a spot not easily removed.

A spot – a rounded mark or stain made by foreign matter, as mud, blood, paint, ink, etc.; a blot or speck.

A spot on fabric maybe removed with water, specialised spotting chemicals etc.  A stain of fabric will require an oxidising process or reducing process.

Fabrics prefer to be left on the acidic side rather than the alkiline side of the pH scale.  Leaving fabrics on the alkaline side will allow residue buildup and will resoil quicker.  Although alkalines cleen better, acids will brighten better and will usually not leave water marks.

Chemicals brought from the supermarket may have a pH reading of over 8.5pH therefore being too strong for natural fibres and doing cuticle damage to the fiber.  This means that next time the fibre does not have its own defences to protect itself but will stain easier.

The problems you mainly get from using products from the supermarket is colour loss and leaving a residue creating resoiling. There is no such thing as 1 stain remover for all stains. We recommend our free home pro carpet spotter - it’s the strongest chemical you can use with having a machine to rinse it out.

Protected leather has a polyurethane coating to protect the protected leather which is very porous. Then the leather protection cream is applied to protect the polyurethane coating. Oils and abrasions wear down this protection cream over time and then start to wear down the polyurethane coating. If the polyurethane coating wears out, you are left with the dirt inside the colour of the protected leather and this is when you start to need a restoration process. The leather cleaning and restoration process requires stripping the leather back and re-dyeing then re-coating.

I’m the Commercial and Residential Coordinator for All Aces Services and I’ve been working for Carmel, Garry and the All Aces team for 3 months.

Im qualified in Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning through the The Clean Trust / IICRC .
Over the last few months I’ve learnt a lot about our customer needs and have been able
to offer solutions to our customer’s problems, whether it’s a carpet, Rug, upholstery or tile and grout cleaning.

Recently a customer called inquiring asking if there was anything that all Aces Services
could offer allergy cleaning since she had been suffering from allergies for some time.
Her carpet was new this year and had been cleaned by another carpet cleaner 3 months ago, that she was not happy with, he left it wet and sticky with chemical.
She was also concerned that her bedroom and in particular her mattress may have been
contributing to her allergies.

I recommended to the customer that she adopt allergy cleaning with an allergen control plan and I booked an All Aces technician to clean her bedroom carpet and mattress using Responsible care allergy free cleaning products for her bedroom carpets and mattress. To follow up with a treatment of Dust mite anti-allergen on her mattress and carpet to neutralize the feaces from the dust mites, to de-nature the allergans between regular cleaning of her mattress at least every 6 months.

The All Aces Services technician also recommended the customer purchase a good quality sebo vacuum cleaner with extremely high hepa filtration system that she could trust to remove dust, dirt, polutants and allergy-causing particles without recirculating it into her living areas and performing allergy cleaning result.

Several blocks of classrooms and school property including computers were damaged from paint and soft drink. Paint was thrown across blackboards, walls, windows, carpet and vinyl flooring.

The job happened last week and we attended straight away as the school was quite distressed as school was going back on Monday and they needed their classrooms. So we went and removed paint from the carpet and vinyl in one block as this was all that was affected first. Then on Saturday afternoon I received a phone call letting me know that the school had been hit again! I rang the principal straight away and arranged cleaners to attend on Sunday to clean walls, windows and blackboards in another block that had been affected.

We have attended to several schools in the last month all graffiti related work. At one school we had to remove graffiti from a shed wall and roof which was colour bond. This was a difficult job as the sun had baked the paint onto the colour bond but we achieved 100% removal. We also removed mould from ceiling panels and joints at another school. Removed graffiti from exterior from Calamvale Police Station and attended a major sewerage job at the Spring Hill Ambulance Call Centre.

A spot is a substance that can be dissolved or suspended from the carpet.

A stain is a permanent colour change which can be difficult to remove.

The problem we find every day at All Aces Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Services is that the customer has had an accident on the carpet and they go to the cupboard and grab a chemical and pour it on the carpet, these can cause extra problems.

1. The chemical that was chosen from the cupbaord could contain bleaches in the product and can take colour from the carpet.

2. The chemical can leave a residue that can attract soil and become worse.

3. Too much chemical can over-wet the carpet and cause the stain to disappear but it the stain can wick back up. The over wetting can also cause a bacterial problem therefore, creating an odour.

4. The chemical can have optical brightners that can cause the carpet to go purple when sunlight or uv light hits the stain and can also take away stain guard protection and can void some carpet warranties.

5. The chemical says it can remove all stains. Most chemicals purchased from the supermarket are not worth the money you spend on them. The best options if you want to buy something, is to look for the woolsafe logo and remember that each technician from All Aces Services carries over 30 specialised chemicals that are designed for Carpet Stain Removal.

6. Those unhelpful home hint books or old wives tales are simply that; something that people have said but should not be followed through on – as they are not written by qualified professionals eg. Bi-carb soda but bi-carb soda can bleach wool.

Here is my golden rule: eg if your carpet is worth say $5000 and you own a dress or a suit for that value and you’re about to put that chemical on the carpet would you use that product on the dress or the suit or would you call a professional?

Here is how All Aces Services can help.

I arrived at the property to inspect the damage from the mould and to find out the source. This story may air on Wednesday 23/09/09.  The property inspection for moisture content was to see why the mould growth has spread as far as it had.

My understanding of the story is that there was a preventative method used to clean and prevent the spread of mould. Different methods of cleaning have been performed in 2 of the bedrooms. The 1st method was natural base chemicals however this method does not seem to have worked well. Second method used was cleaning down the area with a chlorine base chemical. This method washed down the area and it looks good but neither of the companies have found the source of the problem and tried to solve and prevent from re-occuring.  Neither method used  has contained the areas, so cross contamination has now occurred.

4 Steps for mould.

1. Identify the source.

2. Prevent the mould from spreading (containment)

3. Identify the type of mould

4. Start to rectify the problem

At this particular property the tenants have allowed the mould to spread to every part of the house.  It has now contaminated every room and all the contents as well.  A full restoration will be required to properly fix this problem.  A sample was taken to find out the type of mould and the results will be back on Wednesday before airing.

1994 All Aces Services made the decision to better our cleaning abilities to our customers, we needed to upgrade our equipment. We were using Electric Portable Machines, which were just not giving us the results we could really achieve. Research found that Hydramaster Truck Mounts were what we needed to be able to improve our cleaning and business out of sight.

The benefits of using a carpet cleaner with state of the art equipment are;
1. High Heat
2. More Pressure
3. More Extraction Power
These three advantages allows the techician to rinse the carpet more thoroughly, and gives you greater heat therefore, resulting in cleaner and drier carpets.

A Carpet Cleaning company simply is not great because they use Truck Mount Machines, they also need to provide:
* Guarantee
* Training and Certification
* The level of services that they provide for the customer, see our Deluxe Clean
* Quality of Chemicals that they use

Look at our link on How to Choose a Quality Carpet Cleaner

Over the years we have tried other Brands of Carpet Cleaning Equipment, however, quality of Service to us as being a customer was not maintained. In 2007 we began using Carpet Cleaners Warehouse and have found that Nick, Toby & Peter to be the ones that do provide the level of service we were looking for. Hence our return to using Hydramaster Carpet Cleaning Machines – our fleet is made up of Boxer 421′s and CDS 4.8, this relationship has been a great asset to our company.

On the odd occasion that our Truck Mount Machines break down, it is the quick response and ability to have the equipment repaired and back working, and this is what Carpet Cleaners Warehouse does. They have been available to us 7 days a week for Techicial and business advice. It is this type of relationship that lets our business move forward and stay ahead of the game.

With our recent attendence at Connections Conference in Las Vegas we found that Hydramaster is the most used Carpet Cleaning Equipment, with the bigget number of companies using them.

One of our best business decisions has been having Carpet Cleaners Warehouse and Hydramaster on our team, with their continued support and service All Aces Services, will continue to Service our customer to the highest degree.

We also went to the conference “Connections” held in Las Vegas – this is the biggest Cleaning/Restoration conference in the world for our industry. There were great demostration – especially for Rugs, which were focused on removing the dry soil from rugs and also for rugs that have been effected by Urine. What we were very impressed with was the new equipment that has been created for rugs – which was a Industrial size Spin Dryer and new Hanging racks. The knowledge that Aaron and Ellen passed on to the attendees was very impressive. We have enrolled in he Rug Master Training Program that will begin next year.

The demo station for the Urine Treatment of rugs was where they submerged the rug into the wash pit and with the use of the MASTERBLEND urine Products the rugs was soaked, rollered and then rinse. From this washing procedure the rug was placed in Centre Fuse Evolution Spin Dryer to remove the excess water and then additional rinse can also be completed as part of the process and then spun again. The Rug was then hung ready for drying – which was done on the new motorised hanging machine, which reduces the extra labour that is usually needed to hang rugs.

Aaron and Ellen run Master Rug Cleaning Schools in Dallas – Texas, @ Ellens’ Rug Factory. The course is in March and October for 3 days at a time. The course is very comprehensive it covers; Rug Cleaning, Fringe Cleaning, Rug Identification, Rug Origin, Dye Bleeding, Repairs and How to step up a Rug Cleaning Factory, which also comes with Aaron and Ellen’s full support and knowledge. Phillip McGurk and Myself will be attending next year to further our knowledge to better service our clients in Rug Cleaning.
