Having completed 29 years in the British Army where I retired as a Commissioned Officer, Director of Music of the Band of the Dragoon Guards based in Swanton Morley, I worked in education as a School Business Manager.
After a number of years of this I decided that it was about time that I did something for me; something completely different.
I mentioned this to my long-time mate Steve Armstrong-Watkins at an Army reunion we were both attending and he jokingly said "so why don’t you become a carpet cleaner in Norfolk?"
To be honest it's not something I'd ever considered, I just knew that since leaving HM Armed Forces, I’d never really found my niche, except when making music, the thing I love to do most
We got together and he explained 'Clean Living', it's standards, it’s morals and it’s duty to the environment.
Steve took on the business a number of years ago when it was 8-years-old and the then incumbent decided to up-sticks and emigrate.
Steve was taken in, as have I been, by the vision of the original owner in that he wanted to maintain an environmental philosophy.
He found a scientist in Birmingham who would create for him the best possible mineral, not chemical, cleaning system.
Like Steve I have purchased a ‘truck-mounted’ carpet cleaning system which is much a removing dirt than the average carpet cleaner.
The system comprises of a separate petrol engine, heat converters, high pressure and suction hoses: one of the very best on the market and definitely the best in the area!
What he came up with was not only non-toxic, ozone friendly, ecological, biodegradable and organic but also a fantastic citrus-based cleaning system, which leaves no stickiness and produces an incredible result in the shortest amount of time.
This, in turn, leads to quicker drying times.
