IMPORTANT

“Vaxing” is a term used to describe the washing of carpets using the
unique Vax Cleaning system. Not many people realise just how dirty
carpets can become, even when regular maintenance is carried out by
owners or professional cleaners. No matter how power ful a vacuum
cleaner, dry vacuuming of carpets will only remove surface dirt.
When Vaxing for the first time, many owners are astounded at the
amount of dirt and grime this washing system releases from their
carpets. Depending on many factors such as age of carpet,
neighbourhood conditions (ie. dr y, dusty, muddy, sandy) etc., in some
instances the release of dir t particles can be so extensive that the
carpet becomes discoloured. This is due to the efficiency of the Vax
system and is not a malfunction of the unit. With subsequent Vaxing
treatments, the discolouration will diminish. For heavily soiled carpets
it may take a number of treatments.
