			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Being a professional carpet cleaner is like being an A-grade mechanic.  If your car has broken down or has a problem, you need to get a quote on how much it will cost to repair.  You cannot do this accurately over the phone because the mechanic will need to inspect your car to determine exactly what the problem is.  You will not likely want to take it to a cheap and unqualified mechanic.</p>
<p>When <a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/" target="_blank">All Aces Services</a> receives a call for a carpet cleaning quote, the phone is answered by a qualified IICRC professional (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) who knows how to solve your problems.  We ask about your problems :</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/carpet-cleaning/stain-removal" target="_blank">stains</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/water-damage/other-odours" target="_blank">odours</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/green-cleaning/allergy-relief" target="_self">allergies</a></li>
<li>problem areas</li>
<li>type of carpet</li>
<li>how long since it was last cleaned?</li>
<li>problems with the last service?</li>
<li>what is the customer trying to achieve?</li>
<li>which method would suit the customer?</li>
</ul>
<p>We talk about our guarantee of workmanship:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/consumer-guides/how-to-choose-a-quality-carpet-cleaning-firm" target="_blank">qualifications</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/carpet-cleaning/additional-services/our-cleaning-equipment" target="_blank">equipment levels</a></li>
<li>service</li>
</ul>
<p>On the day of your service, the qualified technician will thoroughly inspect your carpet to give you an accurate quote before proceeding with the service.</p>
<p>When you phone a cheap carpet cleaner you will get the price in less than 7 seconds!  (Try it and see for yourself!)  There will be:</p>
<ul>
<li>NO guarantees</li>
<li>NO qualifications</li>
<li>Limited equipment levels</li>
<li>NO explanations of the services you will receive</li>
</ul>
<p>They only have a price to sell you!  You don&#8217;t know what you are getting for your money.  As a logical thinker, I don&#8217;t understand this.  These unprofessional cleaners are usually found in the local papers and are advertising for under $20 per room.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t just accept the price&#8230;&#8230;ask about their guarantee and get them to show your their qualifications.  Look at their equipment and find out what you are getting for your money.</p>
<p>Your carpet is a valuable part of your home and you will want to look after it properly just like you do with your car.  Don&#8217;t settle for a cheap price and no guarantees.  Call <a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/" target="_blank">All Aces Services</a> on 1800 00 1010 who will look after you with qualified professionals.  We are not happy unless you are and we offer a <a href="http://www.allaces.com.au/consumer-guides/no-risk-guarantee" target="_blank">100% money back guarantee</a> on all of our services!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring has sprung and this is usually the season where a lot of people develop hayfever and other allergy symptoms due to the many pollens and allergens in the air.  Allergens are hard to avoid since many of them float in the air.  Cleaning (like dusting and vacuuming) can stir up the air and the allergens in it.  Just like other particles in the air, sometimes cleaning products can “trigger” an asthma attack but it is still important to clean.  If you don’t dust and clean, mould and other allergens will build up, making asthma symptoms worse.<strong><img class="size-full wp-image-2985 alignright" src="http://blog.allaces.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/allergy_cleanequip.jpg" alt="allergy cleanequip Cleaning for Asthma and Allergies" width="117" height="176" title="Cleaning for Asthma and Allergies" /></strong></p>
<p><strong>If you have allergies or asthma, here are some important tips:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>If you use spray products, spray the cleaner on a cloth or sponge first instead of on the surface.</li>
<li>Break your cleaning into small tasks.  Spread it out over several days instead of doing it all at once.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Try using cleaning products that have no scent or are perfume free.  Try different products to find the ones that work best for you.</li>
<li>If your asthma is severe, have someone else do the cleaning.  Try to leave home before<img class="alignright" src="http://blog.allaces.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/allergy_asthma.jpg" alt="allergy asthma Cleaning for Asthma and Allergies" width="200" height="147" title="Cleaning for Asthma and Allergies" /> 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.</li>
<li>Use cleaning products that are “green”.  Ones without hazardous ingredients including VOC’s (volatile organic compounds).</li>
</ul>
<p>If you follow some easy steps you can clean safely without disrupting your life with allergy and asthma symptoms.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These days we are so busy with work, kids, pets and our day to day lives, we forget to maintain items within our home.</p>
<p>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&#8217;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.</p>
<p><a href="http://blog.allaces.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/home-maintenance.png"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1611" title="home-maintenance" src="http://blog.allaces.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/home-maintenance-300x246.png" alt="home maintenance 300x246 Maintenance within the home..." width="213" height="174" /></a>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Give us a call to book in a service , to get your home health checkup today!</p>
