Pleased to learn that Luv-A-Rug does not use chemicals

We bought a beautiful wool area rug for our living room at United Floors. The salesman suggested that we take the rug to Luv-A-Rug to get it treated for protection to help resist potential stains. I am always cautious about any kind of chemical treatment for any product and was pleased to learn that Luv-A-Rug does not use chemicals that harm the environment or put the staff at any health risk.

We bought our rug on December 14th, and I wanted the treatment done before Christmas.

When I phoned Luv-A-Rug to find out if that was possible, I was told to bring my rug in that same morning and that I could get it back before they closed that day. Everything about the experience was positive. I arrived with the rug, six hours later I picked it up and brought it home. I was able to put it on the floor immediately, there is no chemical scent, and I’m less worried that it might get stained if holiday foods are accidentally spilled on it. Luv-A-Rug staff were friendly and professional.

They had a lot of customers and were very efficient. They obviously know what they are doing. I’ll definitely use their service again and will recommend it to my friends.

A little History of Metchosin BC (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Metchosin is located on the southern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.  The origin of the name "Metchosin" is said to date back to the time when a dead whale was cast upon a local beach, causing the local First Nations people to refer to the area as "Smets-Shosin", meaning "place of stinking fish" or "place smelling of fish oil".

The first European contact with Metchosin probably took place in 1790 when Spanish explorer Manuel Quimper entered Pedder Bay and was greeted by a small group of native people.

In 1842 James Douglas was the next person of note into the area when he was looking for a site to put up a Hudson Bay Company post.

The Hudson Bay Company’s Company established quite a few farms in the Victoria area extending as far west as Colwood.

However, many independent settlers wanted to start their own farms.

One of the first farms to be established by a settler was the Bilston Farm, located on the shore of Witty’s Lagoon, bought by Captain Cooper in 1851 and farmed by Thomas Blinkhorn.

Other pioneers soon settled the area by clearing and cultivating the arable land and raising sheep and cattle over the upland slopes.

At first travel into Victoria was nothing but a forest trail to Victoria so most of the supplies and produce were shipped by water. As time went on, travel to the city was a day's drive by horse-drawn stage and then as modern times approached, jitney buses were used - making the trip much faster.

Fun Fact: Metchosin is home to one of the largest commercial sheep flocks in British Columbia, the Parry Bay Sheep Farm flock. Sheepdog trials began with the Metchosin Trial in 1992, and the Metchosin Sheep Dog Trial and Clinic is now held annual in late July.
