Camping out at Home

We are definitely getting into the “spring cleaning” mode this week.  Our lounge suite and dining chairs were looking decidedly grubby – covered as they are in a light coloured wool fabric, it was time to get them commercially cleaned.  A couple of phone calls to local operators showed us a huge variation in prices.  There is no surprise that we went with the cheaper option, after all, the extra cash is better staying in our pockets!  The workman arrived on time, filled up his machine and got to work.

He worked steadily for over two hours, and the furniture certainly looks much cleaner and fresher.  But it will need some time to dry out completely, we had the gas fire on, and the dehumidifier going all afternoon.  However, there will be no relaxing in our favourite “Lazy-Boy” chairs watching  telly tonight.  The furniture is still damp, so we are camping out  inside the house.  It’s not quite the same, but a couple of assorted deck chairs will fit the bill tonight!

We’ll close the room up tonight and leave the dehumidifier chugging away, and hopefully the furniture will be all dried out by tomorrow.  Otherwise, we’ll just camp out again.
