Why regular cleaning is necessary -

Just as the clothes we wear need regular washing to keep them fresh and hygienic, so carpets and upholstered furniture require periodic cleaning. Accumulated soil and grit are major causes of reduced carpet and fabric life, and enable destructive and health harmful mites and bacteria to work unchecked. Cleaning costs are minimal when you consider the replacement cost of carpets and furnishings, so regular cleaning makes economic sense too.

How?

There are several methods used, but the aim of all is the same; to remove as much of, if not all, the accumulated dust, grit and general soiling as possible. Regular vacuuming is a fundamental part of 'housekeeping', but more specialized equipment and knowledge are required in order to clean properly. There are several cleaning methods, the choice depending on many factors, but mainly on the type of article, its construction, age and condition, the degree of soiling, its location and the time available for the cleaning to be carried out. The most common methods are shampooing, hot water extraction and the use of penetrated compounds which are brushed into the carpet and subsequently removed with a vacuum cleaner. The technician is trained and has the experience and expertise to recommend the most appropriate method of achieving the best possible results, whatever the circumstances.

Where?

Carpets and upholstery can be cleaned on site.

On-site carpet cleaning

We ensure that the carpets are correctly fitted, and that any possible problems, such as weak or damaged seams, are pointed out to you, and any remedial work arranged before work starts. The area concerned should be as clear as is practical, and left clear until the carpet is dry. Drying times vary with the type of carpet, the method used and the weather.

Upholstery

All upholstery is carefully inspected prior to cleaning. We then decide on the most suitable process according to the type of material and degree of soiling. The technician will advise you how to assist in preparing the area for the furniture cleaning but every care will be taken to protect the floor covering and surrounding furniture.
