The time has come for Denise and I to call it a day, after nearly 4 decades of doing a job that we love. We have had some great times, had many challenges and many times surprised ourselves with the results we have achieved.
We were planning on keeping the business going for a while yet, unfortunately, due to the economic environment our landlord had to sell the factory we are working out of. At our age, we've decided not to relocate to another factory and retire. Spend more time with our children and granddaughters and see a bit more of this great country of ours.
Thank you to all our customers for your support over the years, you have been incredible.

Warm regards

Glen and Denise Carbis

You can hide 1kg of soil in a carpet. It's hard to believe that all this soil came from this small rug, and we have still more dusting to go before we can wash it.

It's incredible how much soil can come out of a rug that doesn't even look dirty.

Emergency Pet Urine Removal Tips

Our furry friends bring you joy, companionship, and unconditional love, but they can also leave behind unwanted surprises in the form of pet urine.

Whether you have a new puppy still in the process of house training or an older cat with occasional accidents, dealing with pet urine of any type can be a challenging task. However, with the right strategies and quick action, you can effectively remove pet urine and keep your home fresh and clean.

Here are some emergency pet urine removal tips to help you tackle the situation promptly and efficiently. This applies mainly to carpeted surfaces.

Prevention is key

To minimize “accidents”, establish a consistent routine for your pets, including regular bathroom breaks, training sessions, and providing appropriate litter boxes or areas. Promptly clean up accidents and use positive reinforcement when your pets use the correct area.

Act fast!

The key to successful pet urine removal is to act quickly. The longer urine sits on surfaces, the more it soaks through the carpet and nto the pad and subfloor and the more difficult it becomes to eliminate resulting odors — and stains. As soon as you discover a pet accident, grab some paper towels or an absorbent cloth and blot the urine to soak up as much liquid as possible. Keep blotting until no more urine is noticeably absorbed.

Products to use

The safest product to use is warm water. But there are over-the-counter products that sometimes work fine. From enzyme cleaners and deodorizers to products that break down urine components and allow for easier removal, there are plenty of choices at your grocery or department store. But be very careful as many times overuse of these products can cause more damage than good.

Be sure to avoid strong products, such as with ammonia. Ammonia is something that may actually attract pets to a spot and cause more issues. Stick to mild solutions.

Deep cleaning

For carpet and rugs, it's essential to thoroughly clean both the surface and the underlying padding. Blot up as much urine as possible, then call a pro. Although you can clean the area with a rental machine or one you have purchased, it’s not the same as a thorough professional cleaning. At a minimum, contact your favorite cleaning company for advice and the next steps to ensure your home doesn’t start to smell of pet urine. After all, it pays to call a pro!
