Karen O.
Dodgy
I went to carpet one on the recommendation of my Builder partner. I needed carpet for 2 rooms. We decided on a brown carpet as we live on a property with black sand, have 5 children and have timber floor boards throughout rest of house. The colour we wanted was not available in a good quality carpet I was told. The owner Steve said he would bring some samples with him when he measured up. On the day he arrived he brought 3 pieces of carpet for me to choose from. I thought this was odd, I thought we chose a brown carpet because that was what we wanted. He gave me a business card with the cost of $3000 on it for the 2 rooms. It was supposed to be high quality stain resistant Scotch guarded carpet. I spent the next couple of months worrying that the carpet was going to be too dark . Hence my dismay when on the day the carpet was layed it was light !!! Way to light. As I didn't have a quote with the colour or name of carpet written down I had nothing to prove that a mistake had been made. When I paid for the carpet I stressed my dismay and unhappiness and was told the owner was away but the message would be passed on to his son and he would phone me. Of course I never received any correspondence from carpet one. The next thing I noticed was how easily the carpet marked and stained. Try as I might I can not get the carpet clean . I finally got around to calling carpet one only to be told to use sunlight soap and soda water! Yes this faded some of the marks but it will take hours of vigorous scrubbing to get my so called high quality stain proof carpet clean. I am 100% certain that they layed the wrong colour carpet and that this carpet does not have all the stain resistant properties that it was meant to have. I am very dissatisfied and will not be recommending carpet one to anyone . I found the whole process dodgy and disappointing.
