The Horns of Cleaning


Title reference: "The Horns of Ruin" by Tim Akers

Have you noticed how fast the years fly by? Looking at the calendar now, I see it's almost 31 of December, 2010, and... Well, it seems like it was yesterday, when I was standing drunk and happy with Tate and our friends, singing “Happy New Year” from the top of our lungs, as we rose our glasses to salute 2010. Yes, the almost gone 2010. Time is such an elusive thing, isn't it?

So, in honour of that, let's have a little reminisce about this (almost) past year's beginning...

So, where do we start from? O, yeah, the Party! There's always a part, right? So, let's try to remember a bit more about it... O, yeah, here are those memories! So, the party started at the local pub, where all of us (Um... me and Tate) usually gather, and there was dancing, and music, and laughter. There was comfort and joy, as the song goes. Then came the new year and we moved the party to a more private location... (Tate's old apartment!) By the morning it was time for everyone to go and for us, your friendly neighbourhood party-hosts, to take a look around the house and say “O, my... What a mess!”. Spilled wine. Food on the carpet. Champaign on the missus' (my dreaded Ex) brand new Donna Karan dress. Needless to say, the latter needed to be replaced with an exact replica. But the carpet... Are we going to buy a new carpet every time the night gets wild?

No? O, well, I didn't think so! Is the lady of the house going to scrub at the stains until her hands fall out and she's so grumpy one glance can turn a perfectly good bottle of Burgundy wine into turpentine? I guess the answer is “No” again. As every sensible man knows, the key to happy home is a happy wife/girlfriend! So there's only one choice left to get out of the mess as swiftly as possible...

Finding the perfect cleaning company to do the “dirty work” for you.

Now, that may sound as a tough job to do, but it's actually quite simple, especially if you are in London. Yes, folks, the beautiful capitol of England can provide you not only with some of the best tea in the world, but also with wide variety of carpet cleaning London retailers, who'd be able to do miracles for that ruined carpet of yours. You just have to make sure you choose your carpet cleaning services carefully and with an open mind. You do not want to get cheated, right? So make sure you go to one of the big and more popular retailers.

O, on the question of that Donna Karan dress. You'd better not be thinking what I think you're thinking. It will not get like new again in the same way the carpet would!

Nice try, though.
