Blog Entry #1 — A Fresh Start (With Fewer Sticky Fingerprints on the Carpets)

Hello everyone, Sean here — founder, owner, and proud chief tea-drinker of Coastal Clean Carpets.

Now, if you’ve heard the legend, you’ll know I started this business over 109 years ago.
Yes, you read that right: 109 years. Back when carpets were brushed with twigs, vacuum cleaners required two horses, and stain removal was basically just shouting at the stain and hoping it got scared.

Okay… maybe it wasn’t quite that long ago — but it certainly feels like a lifetime!

Just as Coastal Clean Carpets was picking up steam, something happened. Something tiny. Something round. Something that had the ability to cover an entire carpet with jam in under 30 seconds…

Children.

One arrived… then another… and before I knew it, the house was full of little humans who considered carpets a sort of giant wipeable napkin. At that point, the carpet cleaning business had to take a back seat, because I quickly realised I couldn’t clean carpets for customers while simultaneously rescuing my own from chocolate milk tsunamis.

Fast-forward to today:

The kids are grown. The house is quieter. The carpets are safe again.
And I’m incredibly proud to relaunch Coastal Clean Carpets with more experience, more energy, and (thankfully) fewer unexpected glitter explosions.

What started as a simple idea — helping people look after their homes with proper, professional carpet care — has grown into a family passion. We’ve always believed in honest service, quality work, and treating customers the way we’d want our own family treated. And even after a long break, those values haven’t changed a bit.

This blog will give you a peek behind the scenes, from cleaning tips and real-life customer stories to the occasional tale from the chaos of family life that helped shape the business into what it is today.

Thanks for joining us on this new chapter — it’s good to be back, and I can’t wait to share the journey with you.

Stay tuned…
