Why Regular Carpet Cleaning is Necessary

In order to keep carpets fresh, clean and hygienic they require regular cleaning. Dirt from outside can cause the carpet to age considerably and also enable bacteria and mites to multiply.

Vacuuming is an important part of keeping your carpets clean. Carpets in heavy traffic areas should be vacuumed daily to keep them in prime condition.

Carpet Cleaning can be a steamy business....

In the context of carpet cleaning, The hot water extraction method "steam cleaning" seems very popular, This method uses equipment that sprays heated water, sometimes with added cleaning chemicals onto the carpet. Simultaneously, the water is vacuumed up, along with dissolved dirt. “steam cleaning” is the preferred method of many carpet manufacturers as it removes more dirt and abrasive particles resulting in less wear and pile abrasion

Prepare to cosy up with Kings sofas

Summer for many is more than just a season – a state of mind that is a time of both work and rest but in British climates it can come and go so subtly that many of us don’t even realise its presence.

Luckily for us, this year, we have been lucky enough to experience scorching temperatures, heat waves and even bank holiday barbecues, which are a rare treat.

However, with recent weather changes and temperature declines it seems that summer is coming to an abrupt close – just like that.

Now, here may be the time to take stock and gather your thoughts on the next season to come – Autumn. For many a disappointing season, however, at Kings we think this season provides the perfect opportunity to sit and watch nature changing right before our eyes, all while sat in the comfort of your own home.

From the exterior to the interior of your home, Autumn preparations can not only bring richer and more earthy tones of colour but also different styles and new furnishings to help you prepare your home for the impending winter when you really will be cosying up in front of the TV and fire, with a good book or loved ones.

Here, we take a look at some of the ways you can use your living spaces practically, stylishly and comfortably this autumn.

Social and entertaining

With the right kind of sofa choices you can make your home into a comforting social space to entertain your guests over the cooler months while remaining firmly indoors. You want something stylish to showcase your own personality but also functional to fit your guests seating requirements.

As many of you will know, choosing the right type of fabric or leather upholstery to cover your sofa is entirely down to your own tastes so the options then fall down to the sizing requirements and shapes that you want to suit your living room or entertainment space.

Here are 3 different styles you may want to consider:

The Loose Cover Goodwood Sofa

Cosy night in

This is the point where snuggling up in front of the fire with a good book or television with a decent film will seem more attractive. But is your sofa as inviting as you think or is it time for a new one?

While we all may want a deep and plump cushioned sofa that has chunky lines to sink into, this isn’t always possible for all rooms. Your choice of sofa or settee will all come down to the size and shape of your living space so do bear measurements in mind.
