Domestic
Carpet Cleaning

Firstly, our job is to work around you. We book in a free survey to establish your needs and confirm a booking as soon as is convenient for you. If you have an urgent enquiry, for example sickness, blood or urine, we do reserve appointments to try and get this treated, safe and sanitised as soon as possible for you.

For standard carpet cleaning enquiries, we can get booked up a few weeks in advance so if you have a particular time frame you would like to have your carpets cleaned, it is always best to contact us as soon as possible to avoid unavailability.

On average, it will take approximately 30 mins per room depending on the amount of furniture to be moved and how soiled the carpet is. Also, if there are any stains, then we would advise to leave extra time to allow for spot stain treatments.

When you book in, we will provide you with a specific time for when our technician will arrive. Our top tip is to always allow a little extra time in your schedule, so our technician has plenty of time to make sure we get the best results for you.

Our method depends on the type of clean required and the specific type of carpet to be cleaned. The two main methods we use are hot water extraction and encapsulation. These are two of the leading carpet cleaning methods so depending on what is required, we tend to choose one of these two methods. However, we are trained in all methods of carpet cleaning In order to obtain the best result for our clients.

Hot water extraction - This method uses a high powered and pressured machine and wand to clean the carpets. This is a great process, especially for heavily soiled areas or commercial spaces.

Encapsulation - This is a portable process that uses a low moisture, low noise system to clean and scrub the carpets. We love to use this method on most domestic carpets as it provides great results without using lots of water!

Absolutely, the correct method will remove unwanted stains and improve the life of the carpet. Different carpets and fibres react and behave differently. For example, wool carpets don’t respond well to excessive amounts of water. Therefore, to get the best results, we like to assess the carpets first to ensure we are using the best method to get the best results for you.

Using a professional has many benefits. A professional carpet cleaning technician is trained in carpet cleaning and stain removal without damaging your carpet. They can make your carpet look clean and fresh using correct equipment and chemicals. Using a professional carpet cleaning technician instead of doing it yourself would also save you time. We have been operating for over 15 years so whilst you sit back and relax, our fully trained and insured experts will get to work using industry leading equipment to get the best results.

No not at all. In fact, it actually helps to prolong the life of your carpet! Think of carpets like a filter. If you don’t empty and clean the filter on a regular basis, dirt will build up and it will break. Your carpets work the same. If you don’t get your carpets professionally cleaned, the dirt and bacteria will build up and damage the fibres of your carpets. Using a professional, gives you the peace of mind that they are using specifically designed equipment and products to ensure the process wont damage your carpets, but instead they will prolong the life of the carpets. Professional carpet cleaning helps to remove dust mites, bacteria, and other allergens, which ultimately helps you and your family breathe easier and reduces the risk of colds and other health problems.

To keep your carpet looking its best, we recommend that you have them cleaned every 6 to 12 months for a standard domestic household. However, some of our customers get their carpets cleaned more regularly if they have pets or children where stains are more likely to occur.

Professional carpet cleaning extends the life of the carpet, contributes to a healthier environment, and reduces heavily worn traffic areas. Dirt removal is a big benefit but there are also so many important benefits as well like ensuring the carpets are sanitised and hygienic as well as looking great!

We also advise for any small pieces of furniture to be removed from the rooms where possible to allow the area to be as clear as possible for the technician. Access to parking, water and an electrical point are also important for our technicians to be able to complete the job for you. One final top tip that is always helpful is to make a note of any areas of concern so you can point these areas out to the technician to make sure nothing is missed.

Where possible, it’s always helpful to remove any items of the floor, leave the rest to us!

Whilst we request that you remove any small items or furniture from the room before we arrive if you can, you are not required to remove any furniture beforehand. We can remove the items we need to and leave your property with all the furniture back in Its rightful place. With regards to really large pieces of furniture (for example, a wardrobe or large bed), we would advise that these items are left in their position.

It Is not necessary to hoover your carpets before we arrive as in most cases our process involves hoovering the carpets. However, if you give your carpets a quick vacuum before we arrive it is helpful and appreciated to remove some of the surface dust.

In most cases the carpets are usually dry in 30 minutes to one hour however this does depend on the carpet cleaning procedure that is used.

In most cases, you can walk on the carpets almost immediately. However, we do advise to leave the carpets for around one hour to dry in order to let the carpets settle and dry naturally. If you do walk on the carpets whilst they are still slightly damp, just make sure you take extra care if you then walk on hard floor afterwards.

As we tend to us a low moisture system to clean your carpets in most cases, this means that you are safe to put furniture back on your carpet almost immediately. However, there are some exceptions! If you furniture has varnished wooden feet or brass feet, this can discolour the carpet as it can react with the moisture so it is best to wait until the carpet is completely dry before placing items like this directly back onto the carpets. As a top tip for the best results, we always suggest that with all furniture, it is always best to leave it a couple of hours to dry first before putting anything back on the carpet so it can completely dry out.

Definitely. In fact, we recommend that all of our customers get stain protection! The stain protection provides a barrier that stops stains fully penetrating into the fibres causing permanent stains and making it much easier to maintain.

Whilst stain protection isn’t a guarantee that the spillage or mark won’t leave a permanent stain, it definitely helps to minimise that risk for you.
