Captain Rug Wash's visit to Tunisia

hey everyone and welcome to another blog entry by Plymouth's famous rug cleaning Superhero.

Today I want to share with you the story of my travels with my girlfriend to Tunisia this year. We stayed a week in the 5star Royal Azur hotel in Hammet, which was absolutly beautiful.
We spent the whole week exploring the local areas and meeting interesting locals at the markets and medinas. Picking up quite alot of 'bargins' along the way. At one point I was lucky to get out of the medina one day. All the marketers want you to buy their stock and you have to be pretty quick witted to negoiate your way out. An amazing experience that I would recommend to anyone.

We did plenty of day trips, with a lovely couple we met over their called Laura and Jason, it was nice to spend time with another couple and enjoy these places we went to with them. We visited beautiful places like Carthage, Sidi Bou said and Tunis which are amazingly stunning places. We also had a tour of the Roman ruins which is breath taking.

The highlight of my trip though was experiencing first hand the local women weaving rugs on thier rug looms. We mainly saw these women in small shops in the medinas, sat on a little stool and using the Persian knot to create beautiful rugs of various sizes. I could not help myself i had to come away with a rug! so I invested in a small but beautiful rug that is sat nicely on our lounge coffee table.

We thoughly enjoyed our trip to Tunisia and we would love to head back their one day. I would recommend visiting this country to any one who wants a bit of adventure, busy local life and plenty of beautiful beaches and sun.

Until next time folks, thanks for reading

Captain Rug Wash meets Stonecare Superman

I was very fortunate recently to be interviewed by the UK's number one Stone Care Restoration specialist in Manchester. His name Mike Philbin AKA Stonecare Superman.

Mike is a very good friend of mind and he has a very popular TV channel.



every week he airs episodes regarding anything about stone, from cleaning tile and grout all the way through to polishing marble.
This guy is so passionate about stone restoration its amazing. He has been working with his families very successful stone floor and carpet cleaning business for many years now.



I was up visiting Mike for the Stone traing course that he runs. A brilliant course about how to clean and restore every kind of stone flooring.
As a rug cleaner im noticing more and more rugs being laid on top of beautiful natural stone in homes, So i thought it was about time to pay a visit to my good friend ( and the UK leading natural stone care expert!) to gain some knowledge.

I had a brilliant time at StonecareTV studios and enjoyed every minute of being on the show. So thanks Mike for inviting me on.

So please if natural stone is something you are interested in please check out my friend Mike via the links.
