Here we give you the answers to those questions
There are often many questions about our Carpet cleaning service
Why should I get my carpets cleaned?
Carpets absorb all sorts of nasty things including chemical contamination, outdoor pollutants, pesticides, biocontaminants, allergens, volatile organic compounds, combustion products, asbestos, dust mites, bacteria, grease and oil deposits, sand, soil and food particles.
Regular carpet cleaning will help to remove these contaminants leading to a healthier element for you and your family.
How often should my carpets be cleaned?
For people with allergies or breathing-related conditions such as asthma, doctors recommend carpets, upholstery and curtains be professionally cleaned every 3 to 6 months.
For general carpet cleaning on an average use residential carpet, we suggest cleaning every 12 months.
How do you take payment?
We accept bank transfers, cheques or cash on the day.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have Full Public Liability Insurance up to £5,000,000.
What is your cancellation policy?
If cancelling with less then 24 hours notice we do reserve the right to charge a cancellation fee.
Do we move the furniture?
We can move certain items of furniture, but are limited due to health and safety legislation. As such, if you have any items of furniture that you definitely need moved out of he room, it is best to do this prior to our arrival.
What should I do before you arrive?
It would be very helpful if prior to arrival you can remove items on the floor from areas to be cleaned e.g. shoes, toys etc. Also, if you have valuable items on any pieces of furniture that will require moving, could you please move these to a safe location. Because of the weight limit to what can be moved by our carpet cleaners, please move any heavy items.
What is Stain Protector/Scotchgard?
As an option we can apply a protective coating to your carpet, which adds a moisture-resistant barrier to each individual fibre. This barrier means that spills aren't immediately absorbed into the carpet and gives you an extra period of time to clean it up.
Additionally, this protective coating on your carpet helps reduce the wear and abrasion caused by soil in the carpet and protects it from excessive matting, which in turn will cause your carpet to perform better.
Is Stain Protector included in the price?
Unless specifically requested, the price quoted will be for deep cleaning and stain treatment, and would not include any carpet maintenance treatments. This can be taken as optional extras on the day.
How long will my carpet take to dry?
Drying time will vary depending on the thickness of your carpet, weather conditions and air circulation in your home. Normally your carpets will be dry in 2 to 8 hours, but in some instances can take up to 24-48 hours.
