Below is a poem written by one of our valued Brisbane franchisees, Peter Bonnily, capturing a very familiar challenge in carpet and upholstery care — odours.
What’s that smell? (oh my God!)
There’s nothing as distinctive as an odor,
Be it a rose or perhaps the substance needed to promote its growing,
To be green and organic is good,
But when the source of the smell comes from a fabric couch or a carpet, action is needed,
The enemy is often invisible,
Here the conversation is a reminder of recent events,
It’s clear now (all too clear) – prevention is better than cure,
Textiles inside our homes and business’s are prone to absorbing odours and this fact alone raises questions,
We clean for the visual aspect of things as much as anything,
Hoping, in doing so, any unpleasant smell is also removed,
This’s not always the case!
Sanitizing is the key!
Elite Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning has the answers.
When Cleaning Isn’t Enough, Sanitising Matters
As Peter highlights, odours don’t always come from what you can see. Carpets, upholstery and other soft furnishings absorb spills, moisture and airborne contaminants over time — often leading to lingering smells even after surface cleaning.
That’s why professional sanitising and deodorising is such a critical part of proper care. Elite technicians don’t just improve appearance — they address odours at their source.
