It is the worst nightmare of many; a fire in the home or business. Unfortunately, this can happen to anyone: a short circuit, a candle knocked over or a spark from the fireplace on the carpet, an accident is in a small corner. We don’t usually stop to think about it, but much of our interior is easily combustible. Curtains, net curtains and carpets, for example, can catch fire from even a relatively small fire, and then the damage is soon incalculable.

As it gets colder and the holidays approach, we are spending more time indoors and making it extra cozy at home. With (Christmas) decorations and with candles and probably the stove burns regularly as well. Therefore, during this period we are more at risk of fire than in summer.

Why impregnate?
Fortunately, there are measures that can be taken to ensure that a smoldering cigarette butt or that fallen candle do not immediately cause a hefty fire. This can be prevented by making the interior fire-retardant through impregnation.

Fire retardant impregnation is a job that should be left to a professional company. At Aquarius International, we know exactly what is involved. In addition to professional cleaning company, we are certified in fireproofing interiors in homes and businesses. We ensure that your furniture, carpets, rugs and window coverings are treated with the right, environmentally friendly, product, after which the treated materials do not ignite so easily and flame transmission is prevented. All products used by us are harmless to health and the environment. They do not affect the material or leave stains. After your materials are fire-retardant impregnated , you significantly reduce the risk of a fire.

In addition to impregnating furniture and window decorations, if you put a cherry tree in your home, it is wise to impregnate it as well, and this also applies to other Christmas decorations. You can purchase a spray for this through us.

Recently, due to corona restrictions, we have spent a lot of time indoors. As a result, our furniture suffered considerably. We may have regularly sat on the couch with our plates in our laps and the dog’s tail bumping glasses of wine or cups of coffee off the coffee table. So there are stains here and there that cannot be removed one two three with soapy water. And with the holidays coming up, chances are there will be a few more spots.

If you go about removing the stains yourself, chances are that hefty circles will be left behind, which we refer to in professional terms as “clean stains. These circles occur because the sofa or carpet has already become somewhat dirty over time and that dirt now stands out next to the cleaned stain.

What can I do myself?
Of course, you don’t have to hire a professional cleaning company for every glass of wine that falls over. In that case, it is wise to first dab the stain as well as possible with kitchen or toilet paper and then place a white terry cloth towel, wetted with cold water, on it where the liquid will soak in. Incidentally, this method does not guarantee 100% results.

What can Aquarius do for you?
In some cases, however, it is wiser to leave the removal of large/difficult stains to the professional. At Aquarius International, we have years of experience in expertly cleaning furniture and floor coverings. We have the right knowledge of the fabric type and of the stain and therefore give each soiling the right treatment. And do you want to prevent stains from marring your furniture in the future? Then let us apply a protective coating after cleaning. This prevents dirt and grime from soaking into your furniture, and wine and sauce stains are easy to remove yourself.

Finally, after spending over a year and a half largely indoors, we are allowed to do more and more again. We can go back to work and we can also enjoy various outdoor activities again. That long time of being inside did have consequences. Not only for ourselves, but certainly for our interiors. The furniture has been used much more intensively, the curtains may smell of cigarette smoke, and pet hair has been drawn deep into the carpeting. And no matter how well we vacuum, they don’t go away completely. So time for a big cleanup.

Why hire a professional?

Now of course you can go ahead and do it yourself, but then chances are you will not be satisfied with the result. The stains may even be more visible because circles have formed around the stain, and the curtains no longer hang nicely because they have creased and shrunk in the washing machine.
To get your home completely clean and fresh from top to bottom again, you would be wise to hire a professional cleaning company at this very moment. This is because professionals, such as Aquarius International, know exactly how to tackle a job for the best results.
