Your home is probably your most valuable asset. Regular maintenance is
needed to ensure it holds its value and remains safe and comfortable to live
in.
Likewise your furnishing and flooring represent a significant investment over
the course of time. The fact is, homes are lived in, and furnishings and
flooring can become tired, damaged and dirty through general day-to-day
wear and tear.
I have developed the guide to assist you in extending the life of your floors,
furnishings and antiques as well as showing you how to protect these items
from accidental damage.
Many of the solutions contained in this guide can be achieved by using
everyday household products but I also recommend specialist products to
achieve better results and outcomes.
