Make the most of the season by following these simple guidelines

The new season is a great reason to make and keep resolutions. Whether it’s eating well or cleaning out the garage, here are some tips for making and keeping resolutions.

Make a list

Lists are great ways to stay on track. Write down some big things you want to accomplish and some smaller things, too.

Check the list regularly

Don’t forget to check in and see how you’re doing. Just because you don’t achieve the big goals right away doesn’t mean you’re not making progress.

Reward yourself

When you succeed in achieving a goal, be it a big one or a small one, make sure to pat yourself on the back.

Think positively

Positive thinking is a major factor in success. So instead of mulling over things that didn’t go quite right, remind yourself of things that did.

Case Studies: Curtain Service

In our first blog we would like to give information to our customers on Curtain Cleaning

Curtains are a staple item in most households, therefore we would like to let you know how we can look after them for you. We always inspect curtains brought in for cleaning & will give you the best advise on how we will proceed. You are therefore told vital information regarding the likelihood of relaxation shrinkage, possible loss of damaged fibres &/or shade changes as a result of sunlight damage. By far the most common issue is shrinkage. It is recognised in British standard BS 5867 Part I, that relaxation shrinkage (the release of tension applied to the textile during the manufacturing stage) is an unavoidable occurrence. The standard does allow the curtain maker a 3% relaxation potential, which does seem excessive especially in floor to ceiling drop lengths.

Fraying - Sometimes we see curtains become frayed during cleaning, this often happens with open & closing & exaggerated by exposure to sunlight.

Blackout/Inter linings - We often see interlinings with a plastic like coating. We will test this prior to cleaning & will show you any possible problem. We use our dry cleaning chemical on a Q-tip we touch this to the inside of the lining, should there be a problem the coating will dissolve on the point we have touched. Although Manufacturers may have put a care label with a P in a circle stating Dry Clean only we are very vigilant on double checking. Should these linings not be checked the coating will dissolve & stick the curtain together (along with making mess of our Dry Cleaning Machine).

We look forward to seeing you with your curtains & currently have 20% of Curtain & Loose Cover Cleaning.

Tips for writing great posts that increase your site traffic

Write about something you know. If you don’t know much about a specific topic that will interest your readers, invite an expert to write about it.

Speak to your audience

You know your audience better than anyone else, so keep them in mind as you write your blog posts. Write about things they care about. If you have a company Facebook page, look here to find topics to write about

Take a few moments to plan your post

Once you have a great idea for a post, write the first draft. Some people like to start with the title and then work on the paragraphs. Other people like to start with subtitles and go from there. Choose the method that works for you.

Don’t forget to add images

Be sure to include a few high-quality images in your blog. Images break up the text and make it more readable. They can also convey emotions or ideas that are hard to put into words.

Edit carefully before posting

Once you’re happy with the text, put it aside for a day or two, and then re-read it. You’ll probably find a few things you want to add and a couple more that you want to remove. Have a friend or colleague look it over to make sure there are no mistakes. When your post is error-free, set it up in your blog and publish.
