From building waste to event space.

Godwin attacking the industrial dirt

We at Buffer Boys are in the business of getting dirt out of the fabrics in your home. Sometimes though we apply our expertise to a little community work. Why not? In fact Why Not is the name of our sister company, a non profit organization dedicated to reaching out to everyday people in the community and enriching their lives through events and get togethers (they also sell some pretty nice clothes).

This story is about a fitted carpet that had been installed while a restaurant in Qawra was renovating its interior. During the renovation the carpet was exposed to masses of plaster debris and paint runoff from the work being done on the walls, not to mention the 5 years of customer foot traffic embedded into it. Total loss? you'd think so right?

At the top of this article you can see one of our guys, Godwin, getting stuck into the work on this carpet

First it had to be entirely deep vacuumed twice and then given another shampoo cleaning afterwards.

The photo to the left is a before and after photo, first off we can all agree it looks a lot better but more than that this carpet was now sanitized thanks to our unique deep vacuuming technology.

Setting up

Now all that was left was to get it set up in Valletta (near the upper Baraka) for the actual event.

The event in question was organised by Tribali and was a "recyle jam fest" This meant that the instruments like maracas etc, were made from some kind of recycled item.

And the carpet too!

The event was a great success as you can see below. The other carpets there are recycled too and everyone looks happy with the ambiance we set up here.

It's things like this that add to our satisfaction in doing the work we do, A recovered carpet may seem like a small thing but when you add it to all the other small things it's part of a tapestry that creates a good atmosphere for everyone. I wonder if we can actually clean tapestries?

Good times :D 

Thanks for reading and also if you have any carpets or cushions that are too far gone; you can call Why Not and they will collect them so that the Buffer boys can clean them up, recover them and add to the stockpile of cushions and carpets for the many events that Why Not organize.
