Removing Stains From Leather Upholstery

2017-02-08T03:50:00.004-08:00

Leather is one of the most beautiful materials you can choose when it comes to upholstery, but it can be a very frustrating fabric when it comes to keeping it clean and in excellent condition. You could deal with the stains or problem yourself, or you could call in professional upholsterers in Glasgow. Either way, here are some tips for keeping your leather sofa looking its best for many years to come.

Keeping Your Leather Looking Great

One of the best things you can do for your leather suite is to keep it out of direct sunlight. This will prevent the leather from cracking and drying. You can also use a leather solution that will keep the leather supple.

To create a solution that will nourish your leather, mix two parts linseed oil with one part white vinegar in a spray bottle and shake. Then, spray onto a lint free cloth and work in a circular motion. This will get the solution deep into the leather and will also remove stains and dirt on the surface of your sofa. Buff with a soft cloth to bring your leather up to a good shine.

Removing Stains

If you have stains like ink on your leather sofa, dip a cotton bud into some rubbing alcohol and rub over the spot. You can then dry the area with a hairdryer. If the stain is still there after drying you can try using some non-oily, non-gel cuticle remover. Leave this overnight and then remove with a soft cloth. If this still proves unsuccessful, get in touch with your local experts in upholstery in Glasgow. They will be able to give you the best advice and service and have your leather looking as good as new again.

Removing Dark Stains From Light Leather

It can be one of your worst nightmares if you have a light colour suite - a dark stain suddenly appears and you have no idea how to get rid of it. The good news is that you can use a paste of lemon juice and cream of tartar to remove stains. Apply for 10 minutes and then remove with a damp cloth.

Choose The Best For Your Upholstery In Glasgow

Is Your Central Heating System On The Way Out?

2017-02-03T04:19:00.000-08:00

With the weather at its coldest right now, it’s a good time to think about your central heating and whether it needs any maintenance. The last thing you want is for your central heating system or boiler to break down in the middle of a frosty night and wake up to no hot water or heating. Our plumbers in Lanarkshire have years of experience in central heating repairs, and we understand the inconvenience of unexpected heating repair bills. That’s why we offer advice on how to tell if your central heating system is in need of replacement or maintenance. Read our helpful tips to find out more.

1. Your Boiler Is 15 Years Old Or More

Most boilers will usually give up the ghost around the 15 year mark, and that is if they have been maintained regularly. If your boiler is coming close to it’s 15th birthday or has exceeded it, it’s a good idea to consider a brand new, energy efficient model.

2. Your Heating Bills Have Shot Up

Energy prices have risen significantly over the past decade and they are expected to keep rising. However, if you have found your heating bills have increased significantly, it could be down to your boiler using more and more fuel to heat your home. A quick call to our heating specialists will determine whether you need to consider a new boiler or if you need repairs carried out.

3. It Takes A Long Time For Your Property To Heat Up

Also, many older boilers may take a while to get to their full heating capacity. Most modern boilers provide instant heat and hot water and are much more cost effective. Again, our heating engineers are on hand to assist.

4. You Need To Arrange Frequent Repairs

We’re all familiar with the phrase ‘flogging a dead horse’ and this is exactly what you could be doing if you are constantly arranging repairs for your boiler or any aspect of your central heating system. Even small repairs can add up, and may be doing more harm than good. Newer parts can put a strain on older parts and could cause a total breakdown.

5. Problems Getting New Parts

Here at Easi-Plumb, we have a wide range of boiler and central heating parts on hand at all times, but even we struggle to find parts for very old boilers. Old and elusive parts are also more expensive, and could be more expensive of us to install, too.

If your boiler or any part of your central heating system looks to be on the way out, get in touch to arrange an appointment with our heating engineers and plumbers in Lanarkshire. We offer expert service when you need it the most, and great prices too!

How Do Solar Panels Work?

2017-01-26T04:37:00.000-08:00

If you’re considering solar panels in West Lothian, you may be wondering how they work. It’s a good question with an answer that is backed up by science and nature. You’re no doubt aware that solar energy comes from the sun, and that solar panels take that energy and convert it into power for the home, but how does that happen? Let’s take a look.

What Is A Solar Panel?

Solar power relies on solar panels, and vice versa. One would not exist without the other. These panels are rectangular and flat in appearance and have a number of components incorporated inside that are responsible for collecting solar energy. There are effectively two types of solar panel that are commonly used:

1. Solar thermal collector - this panel absorbs solar energy from the sun’s rays and uses it to heat water and air.

2. Photovoltaic module - this panel collects solar energy from the sun’s rays and converts it into electricity that can be used around the home.

Let’s Talk About PV

Photovoltaic module is quite a mouthful and so it is often abbreviated to PV. Photo refers to the sunlight the panel absorbs, and voltaic refers to the electrical energy that it converts to. As solar energy flows into the panel, it is converted and flows out again as usable electricity. The panel itself is made up of photovoltaic cells (these form the grid pattern that can be clearly seen on the panel). Each cell is connected electrically and then covered with a pane of glass which provides electrical insulation and also protects the cells from the elements. The size of the panel will depend on how much power is required by the property or appliance in question.

Is Solar Energy Right For Me?

If you are considering solar panels in West Lothian or any part of Scotland, there are many reasons to have them installed. Greener and free energy, a reduced carbon footprint and even earning money from the energy you don’t use are just some of the many benefits you can enjoy if you have solar panels installed. Why not speak to our solar energy experts today to find out more and to arrange a no obligation free quote to consider at your leisure? We’d be delighted to tell you all about the science and the savings you can make.

Why Switch From Storage Heaters To Electric Radiators?

2017-01-25T05:27:00.000-08:00

Whether you live in a property where electricity is your only source of energy, or you are looking to replace your storage heaters with a more energy efficient and cost effective solution, German electric heating systems are a very wise choice.

There was a time when storage heaters were a very affordable and effective solution, able to ‘charge up’ on Economy 7 heating during the night, and then deliver the heat that had been stored during the day. However, while this concept may sound perfect, the reality was anything but for many homeowners. Most found that even though they were using cheaper electricity during the night, that their heaters would have run out of heat by the time the chilly evenings came around. What’s more, these storage heaters usually had very limited controls. As a result, many homeowners looked for a solution and made the switch to gas central heating. However, there are still many homeowners who still rely on this ineffective and expensive way of heating their homes, and the good news is that there is now a fantastic solution to the problem.

German Electric Heating Systems - The Benefits You Can’t Ignore

Wastage is a huge problem with traditional storage heaters with many churning out heat without any control of temperature. Electric radiators allow you to control the temperature of your radiators instantly and to your exact requirements. Whether you need high temperatures in the most lived in parts of the house, or you need to turn off radiators in areas you are not using, German electric heating systems give you this control.

Digitally controlled thermostats allow you to convert your electricity into heat in the most efficient way, allowing you to enjoy good quality heating at a more affordable price. German electric heating systems are also ultra-responsive and will regulate their heat perfectly according to your requirements.

Don’t Suffer With Your Storage Heaters - Make The Switch

With their slimline and attractive design, digital thermostat, easy operation and quick installation, it is easy to see why so many UK homeowners are making the switch from storage heaters to electric radiators. You can choose to replace all of your storage heaters in one go, or break down the cost by installing radiators in your most used rooms. Make bedrooms cosier, living rooms warmer and add heating to bathrooms effortlessly. German electric heating systems give you the freedom to choose where you want your heating installed, and to say goodbye to storage heaters forever.

How To Rescue A Balding Lawn

2017-01-24T15:42:00.000-08:00

If your lawn is looking a little sad with lots of bald spots here and there, it’s probably down to something more than bad luck. Wear and tear is actually the most common reason why you might get these bald spots appear. You’ve just been enjoying your lawn too much, but how do you get your lawn back into tip top shape again? Well, it’s actually easier than you might think, and as a leading turf suppliers in Lanarkshire, we know all the industry secrets to perfecting your lawn and bringing it back to its former glory.

The Perils Of Frequent Traffic

Children, pets and unruly adults can play havoc on grass and all of this frequent traffic can mean the soil underneath your grass gets compacted which can in turn cause damage to the grass it supports.

If the damage is being caused by you walking the same route across your grass - perhaps to hang out washing or water flower beds, it might be a good idea to put down paving stones in this route so that you can prevent bald spots and other damage to your lawn. The kids will also love the stepping stones!

If you would rather keep your lawn as it is, then consider buying a few rolls of good quality turf to repair the damage. You can also use a good quality grass seed on areas with only light damage.

Struggling In The Shade

Grass can also struggle to grow and thrive if it is in the shade. If you are able to thin out shrubs or trees to let a little light through, this is an easy option. However, if the shade is being caused by a building or a fence, the solution isn’t so easy. In these cases, you could use a shade tolerant grass seed to work on the areas that aren’t doing quite so well.

Are You Doing It Too Much?

Mowing, that is! This is another hazard that could cause your lawn to lose a bit up top. A length of 5cm is ideal for your lawn and if you mow too much, you could be stripping our grass of the nutrients it needs to grow healthily.

For this and more advice, get in touch with our friendly, local turf suppliers in lanarkshire. We have years of experience, and some of the best turf and building supplies on the market today.

When Is The Best Time Of Year To Lay Turf?

2017-01-24T15:35:00.004-08:00

If we had to choose an absolute optimum time for laying turf, it would be during the autumn, but the truth is turf is so hardy it can be laid at any time of year. However, the conditions do need to be right. You can’t lay turf on any old ground and expect a lush and beautiful lawn to just take hold. As expert turf suppliers in Glasgow, we know there is an element of preparation involved. Don’t worry, though, as this article will tell you all you need to know.

Why Autumn And Winter Can Be Best

As already mentioned, you can lay turf all year round, and this is especially the case when it comes to repairing areas of your lawn. However, if you want to have a new lawn established before the summer months come around, laying your turf months before will ensure it has plenty of time to take hold and start growing beautifully.

Another benefit of planting during the autumn and winter is that turf will need less watering during this time because of the inclement weather. This not only saves you time, but it saves you money on your water bill, too. You’ll also be using your lawn less during these months and so you won’t have to worry about damaging fledgling turf as it begins its new life in your garden.

Rolls of turf that you are not yet ready to use will also last longer during the winter. Turf rolls can dry up quickly during the summer months if they are not laid down quickly, but time is less of a factor during the autumn and winter. You can expect turf rolls to keep for around three days during the winter and even longer if they become frozen.

When Not To Lay Turf During The Colder Months

It’s great to be able to take advantage of the winter months and get a head start on your lawn before summer arrives. However, there are some things to be aware of. If your ground has been affected by a heavy frost or has become waterlogged through heavy rain, we would advise waiting until the ground has either thawed or dried out. Trying to get a spade into frozen ground is no fun, and a waterlogged garden is not the best substance to work with when you have to walk around and try to lay turf rolls neatly and evenly.

If you are considering a new lawn this year, leave it to the experts. We are the leading turf suppliers in Glasgow and we would be delighted to assist with your needs.
