Okay, I am sure a lot of you are with me on this, but I have
a love/hate relationship with carpet. In
the scheme of things hardwood is so much easier, especially when it comes to
spills – wipe them up and they are gone.
On the other hand, when my piggy toes get out of bed in the morning they
want to hit the soft warm carpet and not the hard cold hardwood. So… I still have
carpet in the bedrooms of my home. Well,
the carpet in my room is eight years old and so, of course, it has been
put to the test with those that live here, my husband, me and an occasional
sneaky dog; and those who visit, my daughter, her husband and three kids and my
son and his wife. Why would they be in
my room you ask? Years ago
my husband watched tons of football and I wanted to watch anything else, so I agreed that we could get another TV in the bedroom for him
to watch football on as long as he did laundry (ours is upstairs) while he
watched. I know, smart, right! Now we
will let the grandkids, or the grownups watch something up there when we don’t
all want to watch kid stuff. Well after
all those years, my carpet had some dirty high traffic areas and one iced tea
stain that needed to be cleaned up so I decided to call Zerorez and give them a
try. I called their office to schedule
and was pleased that I would not have to wait weeks to get in.
When I scheduled with Zerorez, they told me my appointment
time would be 10:30-12:30. After having
scheduled many home repair type projects and having everyone run late, imagine
my surprise when Tim, the tech that was coming to do the job, called me at 10:00
to tell me that he was on his way but that traffic may delay him until
10:40. Shoot, I was thrilled with such a
short delay and it ended up he was on time!
I showed him what he was going to clean and he asked me some questions
about the type of traffic the carpet get, its age, etc. and then he showed me
his demonstration again. I took a video
so I could let you see it because it really caught my attention:
Before After
The high traffic “get in and out of bed” stains were gone
too.
Before After
Junk Junk “the box”
Well, the carpet was dry in the 4 hours like I was told but
I had dinner guests so I did not get my bed put back. L One more night in the grandkids’ bunk bed but
at least I knew where I was when I woke up the second night.
