Question 1

I've just spilled liquid all over my carpet, what should I do?

Alex · Accepted Answer

Blot away any excess liquid and don't scrub at it as that can make it worse. Get in touch and we'll be happy to help.

Question 2

Can you remove all stains?

Alex · Accepted Answer

We can't promise to remove all stains 100% of the time. Around 90% of the time we find we can make stains almost invisible to the naked eye.

Question 3

What is steam cleaning?

Alex · Accepted Answer

At Roffey Cleaning we have spent many thousands of pounds over the years on our equipment, and the device we normally use for carpet cleaning is our Hot Water Extraction (or steam cleaning) machine.

This machine pumps highly pressurised water deep into the pile, completely rinsing out the cleaning solution that has been agitated into the carpet. This removes unwanted dust, debris and bacteria, providing relief for those of us who suffer from allergies and generally creating a cleaner, safer environment wherever Hot Water Extraction is used.

Hot Water Extraction doesn’t just offer the best deep clean on the market, but it’s also environmentally friendly and very efficient. It won’t expose you to the chemicals that carpet cleaning techniques employed by other companies do, and it will have your carpets dry in rapid time, causing minimum disruption to your home or business. Of course this is equipment that is being used by highly trained and experienced professionals, so we can get the best results for you carpets. We can clean deeper into the carpet to leave them cleaner and fresher which can make a huge difference to your home.

The most common problem you run into with cheaper, DIY-style devices is over-wetting. Rental machines rarely have the vacuum suction power to extract all the water that is absorbed by the carpet. This can lead to unpleasant odours caused by bacterial growth, and when that happens you’ll need to get a professional in as soon as possible to avoid having to shell out for an expensive replacement. At Roffey Cleaning we get the job done properly the first time, and we offer much better value for money than cheaper cleaning companies who use inferior equipment.

Question 4

How long will my carpets take to dry afterwards?

Alex · Accepted Answer

This depends on lots of factors such as the pile density of the carpets being cleaned, the ambient temperature and air humidity, and air flow through the premises. Unlike many companies using underpowered equipment, our vacuum extraction machine has the suction to get your carpets almost dry after cleaning. We will recommend several ways to speed up the final drying stage, but with the heating on and some windows open, most of our customer's carpets are usually dry within an hour of us leaving. If for any reason we anticipate the drying process to take slightly linger (in unheated or unventilated rooms) we will speed up the drying process with high powered fans and air movers.

Question 5

Can you clean very old or badly stained carpets?

Alex · Accepted Answer

You will be amazed at the impressive results of our carpet cleaning service, as we utilise the best equipment and extensive training to deliver the best cleaning service every time.

If required, use some specialist techniques to speed up the process can be used.

Question 15

What are the differences between the methods of cleaning and which method is best?

Alex · Accepted Answer

Many different methods exist and all cleaning methods are designed to produce good results, each has its place within the carpet cleaning industry. Some methods use water and others more mechanical action. More important however, is whether the employed technician has the required training to carry out the cleaning properly and safely. NCCA members have a recognised qualification in carpet and upholstery cleaning and have been trained to use various cleaning methods. They will be able to advice on the most appropriate method. That is required to achieve the very best results.
