Hello everyone.
I hope you all enjoyed listening to my appearance on the David Fitzgerald show on BBC radio Devon last week.

It was an amzing experience and one that I really enjoyed. David and the team are so friendly and made me feel very relaxed and welcome. I was really nervous when i first got there, but once I got settled in, I did not mant to leave! I was on air for twenty minutes talking about rugs and i even had some great phones in too.
I could of sat there all day and taken phone in's! it was so much fun and a great chance for me to talk about my passion and to share my passion with a wide audience.

Before I left the show i gave a rug as a gift to Fitzy as a big thank you for having me on his show.

I really enjoyed the experience and I hope one day I can do it again soon.

Until next time folks! this is Captain Rug Wash signing off...

Captain Rug Wash's Journey To Become A Master Rug Cleaner

Im am really pleased to annouce that I have become a Master Rug Cleaner.
The course was a year long study into everythingrug! How they are weaved, where they are from, how they are dyed, what they were used for, what they are constructed from. I took the first exam last year which was held down in Cornwall, and after a year of research and studying i took my second part last week in London. The course was run by two of the top rug experts from America who came over to share their amazing amount of knowledge with us on the area of rugs. It was a long three days and the knowledge i have gained is unbelieveable. The history of rugs is simply beautiful, its one of the oldest traditions and its still going today! When it comes to fine hand knotted rugs the tools and techniques on weaving rugs has not changed for thousands of years. So you can now feel confident in using Captain Rug Wash to clean your hand knotted and machine made rugs. Thanks for reading everyone Until next time... Captain Rug Wash Master Rug Cleaner

Look out for the video diaries of the event coming soon...

is Captain Rug Wash out of business!?!



While visiting my girlfriend's cousin in Manchester last month I noticed this really cool poster in her kitchen. Along with domestic tips and tricks about cleaning and being a domestic goddess (or God, for us men out there), I scrolled down the list and found a section about proper care and maintainace of rugs.

I think I should of seen this poster before I invested a ton of money on machinery and courses!

I am soon to be embarking on a trip to London to take my final part of the Master Rug Cleaners course. This is a 3 day event where I will learn everything there is to know abot cleaning weaving and repairing rugs. Im so excited as I will be the only person in the South West of England with this qualification.

Until next time rug lovers!...

Mrs Caroline Adams competition winner


Congratulations to Caroline Adams who was our winner of the May competition for a free rug clean.
Mrs Adams had an Indian rug that she gave me to be clean and have some small repairs made to it. The rug cleaned up fantastically well and she was impressed with the final result.

I cleaned her rug using our RugBadger for vibrating out all the dry soil and then I cleaned it using our ECO friendly rug cleaning products.

Keep an eye on our website and other social media sites for up coming competitions.

Once again congratulations to Mrs Adams.

Captain Rug Wash meets author Gerard Donovan

I first meet Gerard Donovan at his office on the campus of Plymouth University early in May, the meeting was to look at his chinese rug that he had recently purchased. It needed a good clean as it had an issue with mould.

I reassured Mr Donovan that I could successfully clean the rug and take out the mould spores. After completing my rug inspection i took the rug back to 'HQ' and proceeded to clean it. The rug was a beautiful red chinese rug and I was worried about the red migrating into the ivory of the medallion on the rug. I did not have to worry, the rug cleaned up lovely, I returned the rug back to Mr Donovan today and he was very impressed with the work I had done. I showed him photos off processes during the rugs clean and I presented him with a bag full of dry soil that i had gently vibrated out of the rug.

If you would like to hear more about Gerard Donovan please check out this link found, there are many other sites about Mr Donovan, so please take some time out and check him out.

 Thanks for reading folks, until next time...
