For Homeowners or Landlords If you're a homeowner and you're looking to install carpet in one of your investment properties, there's a few things you need to take into consideration. If you've got tenants moving into a property, you have to realise that they may damage the carpet purely because they don't really care about it the way you would as the owner. Most tenants will never have the standard that you have, so keep that in mind and take into consideration fair wear and tear. That's the one major thing that landlords fail to think about and most judges at VCAT for example will always base their decision around. In short, a property will slowly depreciate over time. The judge will take into consideration how many people are living in the property, if there is kids or animals and also how long the tenants have been in the property. Fair wear and tear: Wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal wear or aging. It is used in a legal context for such areas as warranty contracts from manufacturers, which usually stipulate that damage due to wear and tear will not be covered. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_and_tear, 2014) What Carpet to Choose? These are things that you need to think about if you're an owner and you're looking to rent a property out but you’re worried about the state of the carpet or what type of carpet you're looking to lay. Over time the carpet will accumulate stains (if they're not professionally cleaned that is) and you will find that you will probably need to repaint and re-carpet every 7 or so years. That's why it’s a good idea to

There was a big turnout this year for Anzac Day all across the Mornington peninsula. Nearly 3000 people turned up to the Rosebud RSL Memorial service including over 250 to 300 World War II veterans. It was great for the older folk to educate the young ones on what war was about and what it meant to fight and die for this great country. About 700 people joined Hastings RSL at its dawn service and more than 1200 came along to the main service at 10.30am. Emcee for the day’s events Ken Black said RSL members marched down to the foreshore where the main service took place. “We also had a fly pass put on by the air force (Tyabb airport) and the Australian male Welsh choir sang hymns and World War I songs,” Mr Black said. “We’re already thinking about plans for the next year’s events.” Mornington RSL marked the day with a dawn service at Memorial Park followed by a breakfast at the club. President Ian Bates said more than 1600 people attended the dawn service, about 300 members joined the club for breakfast and about 2000 people turned out to the main service. “It has been a busy day and well attended,” Mr Bates said. Rosebud RSL Anzac Day service attracted a large crowd of veterans and young families who enjoyed the service under perfect blue skies. For local RSL members such as Fred Rossborough, right, it was a chance to catch up with current day servicemen including Michael Horner. Fred seved with Michael’s grandfather, Jack McKenzie in New Guinea and on Bougainville.

For some homes, carpets and rugs can really make a room. They can add so much colour and really make a room inviting. All the rage right now is fluffy rugs, and for good reason. They look so warm and comfortable and sit really well in front of fireplace or under a nice coffee table. But there is no point in having beautiful rugs or fine looking carpet if you don't take care of. What I mean by take care of it is by washing the carpets and rugs on a regular basis. I've been into countless homes where they had beautiful carpet, and it's really good quality however they haven't had the carpets steam cleaned on a regular basis and it's started to fade and look grubby. This can really bring down the character of the house just by having dirty looking carpet. This is why finding a professional carpet cleaning company that you can trust and build a long-term relationship with is important. Finding a guy who knows what he's doing (or a girl for that matter) can really make a huge difference to your household. It's pretty easy these days to find a good company purely by looking at all the good reviews online. When the review system opened up on the Internet it really weeded out the bad companies. When I'm surfing the net and looking for a particular service, I always check the local directories and Google reviews. You can really decipher what type of person or business you're going to hire by reading through the reviews of previous customers. That way you won't make a bad mistake of hiring someone who doesn't know what they're doing. Recently we had

Some people look at trying to save money any way they can, and carpet cleaning is one of those things that most people think they can do themselves. If you look at how much time you spend researching, trying to find a decent machine and on top of that learning how to remove stains, it could work out cheaper to actually hire a professional and do it yourself. Another important point to remember is you could actually damage the carpet if you don't know what you doing or you're not 100% confident. As a huge difference between the quality of the machines that you hire let's say from your local supermarket as opposed to a super powerful machine which a professional works with on a daily basis. The pressure that will come out of a hire or do it yourself machine will be that which a professional carpet cleaner wouldn't even use on upholstery. The PSI or pressure is so low that it's almost not worth using. I've spoken with customers in the past to have hired these machines and said to clean one room properly can take hours, purely for the fact that you have to continually go over the same spot in order to get it looking good. With a professional, they barely need to make a double pass because of the machinery and pressure they use is second to none. Just keep in mind also that a professional has the know-how, training and experience which money can't buy. Some professionals these days are actually certified technicians. If you speak to carpet wholesalers or retailers in your area, they may know someone who they can recommend. Also, it's a good idea to run
