So many of us now order goods over the internet. It's just so easy isn't it. Last week, for example, I had cat food and a book delivered, the week before it was a new suit. So this week I ordered a scratch mat from Pet Essentials.

Instantly I received email confirmation of the order and 2 days later Pet Essentials took the money from my account. The email stated delivery of 3-5 days. Today, a week later, I called to say that the item had not been delivered.

At first I was told I should phone Royal Mail because they 'obviously' had it. Royal Mail has not told me (or Pet Essentials) that they have it. Besides, why am I - as the customer - expected to chase the order?

When I said i was not happy with this suggestion the member of staff first interrupted me, then talked over me and finally saw fit to shout. When I asked if he understood the nature of customer service I didn't receive a reply.

The employee at Pet Essentials then demonstrated his ability to read minds; he claims that the person who allegedly delivered the item didn't know where to leave it. This statement is especially curious given that (as I state above) I regularly have items delivered to the address. I even added a special delivery note to my order!

I was repeatedly told that I must wait 15 days before Pet Essentials was prepared to chase the order. When I explained that I had 2 cats tearing up my carpets I was again told that Pet Essentials was not 'obliged' to do anything for 15 days.

I realise that sometimes things don't work out. But when this happens the customer has a legal (and moral) right to expect a solution. Let alone an apology...

The Diary of a 30 Something

Blog of a group of residents concerned about Tesco's plans to develop a site in London Road, St. Albans, Hertfordshire.

Presented in a variety of colors and patterns, carpets and rugs are useful, comfortable and warm and if you pay attention, their lifetime can reach tens of years. If you chose plated floor with carpet or rugs space, then we advise that since the acquisition phase to seek as much information about how to clean and maintain these assets. Although not visible to the naked eye carpet can become one of the dirtiest areas of daily living space because it sits over dust, sand, food, liquid drops and bacteria. For your comfort safety and health, will advise Carpet Cleaning St Albans for adopting the best methods of cleaning carpets and rugs.

VACUUM SUCTION For most homeowners, using a vacuum cleaner first and most common method of cleaning is vacuuming and it is recommended that work be done at least once a week, sometimes several times rent if You do not have to wait for your carpet to turn into ugly shade of murky brown year before you decide to plug in your vacuum cleaner and have a go at it.The traffic is intense. By suction to extract sand and dust particles carpet stationed at the base, leaving fibers soft texture and shining. No need to wait until your carpet or rug will change color, act of timpt because although they appear clean, do not you'll never know what lies at the root fibers.

STAINS: If a patch accidentally appeared on the carpet, sofa or chair will not rush to pour any solution on the stain you have on hand, first read the prospectus, then see what reaction would produce texture applied solution. To test try on a hidden portions and in case of adverse reactions at least the place will not be exposed sight. In trade there are many countries for spray stains and might work at first, but remember that these atomizers sites may contain harsh chemicals that destroy the fiber texture fade if you use several times same spot. Office if you missed a liquid on carpet or couch, gathered with a dry cloth and then dab the liquid with a towel soaked in warm water or mineral water.

WASH carpet carpet By nature of their creation are made ??for traffic and are designed to capture dust from the shoes. Carpet and carpet cleaning today is done mechanically and the process takes place in three stages: extraction, stain removal and washing. First is a careful evaluation of carpet and fabric depending on the nature and degree of involvement (dirt) and choose the correct method of cleaning solution. Accessing professional cleaning save time and money and your carpet will have a longer life.

Method of cleaning carpets with dry foam

Cleaning carpets / rugs are made with single disc: reduced working time and drying, reviving textile and initial color rendering. This method is recommended for rugs less dirty washing is one more superficial. The method involves the following steps:

dry vacuum / shampoo / cleaning / Wet

Cleaning carpets and rugs injection-extraction

Carpet cleaning by injection-extraction method is recommended for high traffic areas. Solutions do not attack fabric used does not involve any risk of toxicity or allergy and removes dust, leaving behind a pleasant air. Advantages: fast drying traffic is resumed after approximately 2-4 hours.

Here's Rule No. 1 regarding spots and spills on your carpeting: Clean them immediately. If you catch the spill when it's fresh, you've got a good chance of removing it totally. Consider these tips, too:
Carefully blot or scrape the entire area before applying any cleaning solution. Remove as much of the spill as possible.
Before using any cleaning solution, test your carpet in an inconspicuous area to make sure the cleaner won't damage or discolor it. Test the cleaning agents that you keep on hand before you have to use them to make sure they will not harm your carpet.
Do not rub the spill -- that might spread the problem to a larger area.
When you apply spot cleaner, work from the outside of the stain toward the inside to avoid spreading the stain. After applying a cleaning solution, blot up all the moisture.
A clean white bath towel is unsurpassed for drying carpet and brushing the nap back up to a standing position.
If you feel that there is still too much moisture after blotting the carpet, place a 3/4-inch-thick stack of white towels over the spot and weigh them down with a heavy object

Carpets need to be vacuumed once a week and more often in areas of heavy traffic. Frequent vacuuming prolongs the life of your carpet by preventing a buildup of gritty particles that can cut carpet fibers. Every few weeks, take a little extra time and use your crevice tool for cleaning around baseboards and radiators and in other hard-to-reach places.
To vacuum wall-to-wall carpeting, divide the floor into quadrants and vacuum an entire quadrant before moving on to the next.
Take your time when you vacuum a carpet, especially a plush carpet in which dirt is sure to be deeply embedded. One pass with a high-powered upright is not enough. Go over each section of carpeting several times, and work slowly to allow the suction to remove all the ground-in dust and dirt.
Pay special attention to the areas where people sit and move their feet. Vacuum these areas of heavy traffic with a crisscross pattern of overlapping strokes.
Soil retardants can be applied to new carpets or to newly cleaned carpets. Follow manufacturers' advice. Apply soil retardants only with professional equipment using the recommended application techniques.
Add baking soda to the bag in your vacuum to fight odors.
