Later this month, the NCCA are running an Oriental Rug identification and cleaning Technical Roadshow to be hosted by Alan Harrison at Olney Rugs in Buckinghamshire. The event sponsors are Solution UK and Chemspec-Europe.

The interest in this event has been amazing. Within a few days of the event being anounced at www.ncca.co. uk and in the Newslink magazine, the day was fully booked. This is the reason that the event has not been mentioned on the internet forums.

The hardworking staff at the NCCA Office are now trying to organise similar events in other parts of the country and if there are spaces available after the short preference period for it's membership, the Association will resume normal service and announce the event on these forums.

Safe and happy rug cleaning

I read this on Cleanntalk, I don't understand the piont of it .

to summerise what you are saying;

the ncca are running a course, but hard luck its booked up. we'll run another but unless you're a member you probably won't get a place.

this is about it, as I said I can't see the piont apart from free advertising for NCCA membership

[liahona]

Mike, maybe that was the point.........

As for this course, best of luck and dont forget to bring your wellies.  Saturation or immersion I hope???

Best, Dave.

same boring comments from non members

I thought they cleaned their rugs with a CFR hand tool .

[Ian Gourlay]

Paul  Pearce told me about this a Couple of weeks ago when I was on a one day Rug Course at Alltec

Even he coud not get a place and he is Director

Obviously I was disapointed and which I had sent my NCCA exam paper back as Alans Rug operation has been of interest to a lot of us for several years

Off to my Rug plant

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Guys

One thing which came across strongly at the CCDO was the interest in Rug and leather cleaning, both seen as growth markets in an otherwise diminishing business(carpet).

It should certainly be possible to arrange a vist to a rug plant via the forum,

Alternatively we could have a 2 day CCDO, Day 1 split between rug and leather.

Day 2 internet, leaflets etc i.e marketing and stain removal.

What do you guys think ?

Cheers

Doug

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

Good idea Doug

[lands]

I agree too Doug,

We certainly have the materials and resources to cover such an idea but it's up to the collective to get behind it so as Doug says, what do you think?

Pete

[John Gregory]

Who do I make the cheque payable to . brilliant idea

John

[Steve Barnett (Carpet Care Plus)]

I'm up for anything that extends and improves CCDO.

Enjoyed this years a lot and also learnt a lot and I'm sure that many more people will attend the next one after we all raved about it on here.

[Ian Gourlay]

I understand there will be a two day one in the  next  few months.

Hopefully with a Rug pit

Pete

In a way I hope it stays one day as that has been planned and I could do without any more to do apart from getting the biatch to do the p/w again eh J

All the details will be in the July/August issue of cleaning matters which will be available online when its published

[Susan Dean (1stclean)]

[Doug Holloway]

Hi Pete

Sorry, I think I got a bit carried away, I know an enormous amount of preparation goes into organising just one day.

Cheers
