Captain Rug Wash meets Timmy Mallett

Myself and my partner were very priveilged to meet Timmy Mallett last week at the Royal William Yard.

We were there to view his collection of paintings. The event is hosted byArt Source Uk and Individual Interior Solutions If you are on Facebook come check Timmy's page out atTimmy Mallett Art Exhibition Plymouth
What an amazing artist he is. He has some amazing paintings of places around the South West and England. I could write a massive blog on his work and how impressed I was, but instead I highly recommend that you pop into the exhibition and have a look for yourself. The exhibition runs all over the Easter holidays.

I want to share with you some photos of my evening with Timmy Mallett.

Thank you Marie and Trevor for a really nice evening.

Here is a link to see paintings by Timmy timmy Mallett paintings.

Afghan Rug Cleaning- Devon

Captain Rug Wash working in London

Captain Rug Wash recently cleaned some carpets in a property in Kensington, London.
it was a three story property with light coloured carpets all the way through.

Captain Rug Wash enjoyed leaving Plymouth for a day up in London. Listen to the video testimonial that his clients left for him at the end of the video. I think they were a little bit happy with the work that he did.

Cleaning Rugs- Plymouth

Here at Plymouth Rug Cleaning we professionally clean all hand knotted rugs.

As you can see in this video, this rug is used in the hallway of a house and has very heavy foot fall on it.
This foot fall creates wear marks.

Chinese Rug Cleaning - Plymouth

This was an amazing rug I had in to be cleaned. 

A massive Chinese rug that had been mad for a family around 50 years ago. 

It was left in storage for 20 years until the clients moved and the rug needed to be cleaned.

This is a beautiful example of a Chinese rug.

One thing that I love about it is that the field and the borders are as one, with the field design flowing into the rug.

The rug was about an inch thick and their was damage around the side cords. This was due to the client cutting the rug to fitting around their furniture in their lounge! Amazing!

As you can see that's me laying ion the rug and I'm about 5ft 10.

I used my RugBadger on this rug and it pulled out enough soil, sand and dirt to fill a small kitchen bin bag.

Come along and see me at Rugcare.TV

IM BACK!

Hello everyone, Sorry I have not been updating you all on the goings on with what I'm doing.
Well we are already into the second month of 2011 and my feet have not touched the ground yet! The New Year started off fantastic, I had a tonne of rugs land on my doorstep in January and my rug cleaning studio was getting pretty crowded!

Ive cleaned some awesome rugs so far including an Afghan that has been in a farm house for many many years and had so much dry soil in it that even I was shocked! After about 20 minutes of my badger treatment i finally got all the dry soil out, and ss a result, the deep colour reds really popped out of the rug. Because of all the dry soil the colours had become quite muted and dull, by getting all this soil out the colours were once again restored to their most vibrant colour.

I've also had several contemporary design rugs, which are always a pleasure to clean. I've also had a very brightly coloured Turkish rug.

I want to take a moment out to thank some of my loyal friends, who have returned to me with more of thier rugs already this year. Thank you Mrs Triscott for the beautiful persian rug you gave me to clean.

Now for the exciting news folks. As you know I am very passionate about rugs and I always want to provide my customers and friends with good information about rugs and rug cleaning. So my mission has been to provide somewhere rug lovers can go to get all the information they want on rugs.

So Im launching RugCare.TV! Its due to be launched next month, and I'm hoping it can be a place where I can provide you with information about rugs, somewhere you guys can ask me questions, and where you can say what you want to see on the show.

So keep glued to the internet for the first episode of Rugcare.TV.

Thanks for reading my first blog entry of 2011 (sorry it took so long!)

See you next time

A very sexy rug

Hey rug fans!

As you have probably guessed by the title of this post today, I have just finished cleaning a very sexy rug. Now I know alot of you are reading this now with a shocked look on your face, and wondering if im a sandwich sort of a picnic! but im not.
And no, i dont think anyone has ever put the words rug and sexy in the same sentence, until now!

I picked this "sexy" rug up from one of my fans the other day and its a red hand knotted Morrocan rug, and its a stunner. The central medalion is mainly red with a beautiful ivory pattern, and the outer and inner fields are decorated with a beautiful design with bright blues and ivory colours and a hint of green.
And the wefts( the wool fiber that runs from left to right on the foundation of the rug) is RED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this rug is offically a BLEEDIER!!! I had to clean this rug very carefully, so carefully infact I could only dry clean it. I did my dry cloth test and my damp cloth tests and in all my tests the red transferred onto my white towel. that my friends is not good, not good at all.

So I just used my RugBadger on it and cleaned it with my low moisture system and the rug has come up like brand new, with NO colour run. I offically dare any of my not so well educated competitors to get the same result!

Any way I wanted to share this story with you as a warning to you all. Even if you have no intention of using me as your rug cleaner, please, please, please be careful when putting your rugs in the hands of someone who is not properly trained on how to handle "difficult" rugs.

Until next time rug fans, thanks for reading

sorry its been a while

hey everyone, dont worry im still here!
I am sorry I have not been blogging for a while, ive been so busy cleaning rugs my feet have hardly touched the ground. Ive had some beautiful rugs lately in my studio, Ive had several amazing Persians and one in particular was the smelliest rug I have ever cleaned. It was a beautiful hand knoted Persian that was in really good condition. but! the owners dog enjoyed sleeping on the rug, so as you can imagine it was a bit smelly! but have no fear i successfully cleaned it and my new number 1 fan was over the moon. She was so impressed with the work i had done she handed me a rather large hand knotted Morroccan rug to clean, which iplan to do this week. Its very red and im very scared!!! only kidding i cant wait to get stuck into cleaning this rug.

Well folks sorry this post is not very interesting and there are no photos, but i just wanted to let you all know that im still here, and if you have any questions for me, please do not hesitate in getting in contact with me.

until next time everyone.
Thanks for reading
