In the quiet suburb of Lynwood, we have a remarkable story to share of how some restoration works unfolded. Amidst the difficult task of preparing their late father’s estate for sale, our client encountered an additional challenge that went against the odds of time and neglect. So what was the challenge? Dealing with 30-year-old carpets that had succumbed to decades of foot traffic, stains, spills and neglect.
Assessing the scene
As we stepped into the estate, we were greeted with major signs of wear. The high-traffic areas, as seen in the images below, show the true impacts of the neglect that had accumulated over the years. And yet, even after realising the extent of the issue at hand, there was still some hope.
Replace or restore?
Given the conditions of the carpets, our client naturally considered replacing them as the only viable option. However, from wanting to maintain his father’s legacy of the aged (but beautiful) carpets and to reduce his impact on the environment, he explored the option of having them professionally cleaned. And that’s where Wizard Cleaning® came into it.
The transformative process
Through the process of meticulous care and expertise, our team were up for the restoration challenge. From the moment we started steam cleaning the carpets, years of accumulated dirt and stains were gently lifted. This resulted in revealing a hidden beauty beneath. By utilising advanced cleaning techniques as well as eco-friendly solutions, we help to reinstate new life back into these carpets which resulted in a complete overhaul.
And the outcome?
After applying our finishing touches and giving the carpets a final look over, our client couldn’t believe his eyes. From having been extremely close to ripping up and replacing these beautiful carpets, he was now confronted with a new version of something that he probably hadn’t seen for decades. In this moment of awe and gratitude, our client embraced the decision to preserve the carpets instead of replacing them.
Conclusion
It’s stories like this that give us the most satisfaction in what we do. The fact that we could help someone preserve such a cherished legacy, while also helping the environment and saving them some money in the meantime, we couldn’t have been any prouder of what we do.
