Carpet Cleaning Services

My preferred method of cleaning carpets is hot water extraction; commonly referred to as “Steam Cleaning”. I have invested over £15, 000 in the most modern equipment available.

Other elements of the cleaning process are required to achieve the best possible results, these are recommended by the National Carpet Cleaners Association, of which I am an accredited member.

There can be a temptation to leave out one or more of these processes to save time, I rarely book more than one customer a day, this allows me enough time to clean your carpets thoroughly using this 9 stage process.

1

Room Preparation

I will move larger furnishings such as sofas and chairs, but for insurance reasons I ask all customers to move smaller, valuable items such as ornaments before I arrive.

2

Vacuum

Then I vacuum your carpets using a powerful Sebo commercial vacuum cleaner. You will be amazed at what this is capable of picking up after you have vacuumed, in my opinion it beats a Dyson any day.

3

Carpet Treatment

Depending on the carpet type any spots or stains will be treated at this point or after extraction, the nature of the stain and fibre must first be determined before any attempt to remove is made.

4

Pre-Spray

Next your carpet will be pre-sprayed which will help break up any dirt still present in your carpet.

5

Agitation

The pre-spray will be agitated into the carpet with a specially designed machine with contra rotating brushes, the same principle as rubbing your hands together when you wash them to loosen the dirt.

6

Hot water extraction

Now the really interesting bit! Hot water extraction or steam cleaning. For this I use a very powerful machine capable of temperatures of 110c, it applies a fine jet of steaming hot solution under high pressure directly into the carpet fibres, it is then immediately extracted using powerful vacuum pumps, this is performed almost simultaneously therefore not allowing the base of the carpets to become sodden, thus considerably speeding up the drying time.

7

Drying

A powerful air mover is then placed in the room; this can speed the drying time of carpet and upholstery up to 70%.

8

Grooming

Where appropriate, the carpet will be groomed using a carpet rake.

9

Replace Furniture

Finally furniture is replaced on either Styrofoam blocks or foil tabs, this prevents any residual moisture in the carpet from leeching furniture stain that might otherwise spoil your beautiful clean carpet.
