Request a quote online or call 07405 428259.

Question 2

How long does carpet cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

The time on site depends on how many rooms there are, the size of the carpets and how much stain treatment is needed. We confirm it when we quote. Our technicians work efficiently without compromising quality.

Question 3

How long until my carpets are dry after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Drying time depends on the carpet, how soiled it is, airflow and the weather. Opening windows, running a fan and turning the heating on all speed up drying. If you need carpets dry for an event, ask about low-moisture cleaning when you request a quote.

Question 4

Can you remove red wine, coffee, and tough stains?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We specialize in removing stubborn stains including red wine, coffee, tea, food spills, ink, grease, and more. We use professional-grade stain removers and treatment techniques tailored to each stain type. While most stains can be removed or significantly improved, results depend on stain age and carpet type. Old or set-in stains may not be 100% removable but will be noticeably better.

Question 5

Is carpet cleaning safe for pets and children?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We use family-safe, pet-friendly cleaning solutions that are non-toxic, biodegradable, and free from harsh chemicals. Our products are safe for kids, pets, and people with allergies or sensitivities. Carpets are safe to walk on once dry. We can also use completely chemical-free hot water extraction if preferred.

Question 6

Do you clean all types of carpets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we clean all carpet types including wool, nylon, polyester, polypropylene, silk, cotton, and blended fibers. We also clean oriental rugs, Persian rugs, delicate antique carpets, shaggy carpets, Berber, and loop pile carpets. Our technicians assess fiber type and adjust cleaning methods, temperature, and products accordingly to ensure safe, effective cleaning without damage.

Question 7

Can you remove pet urine odors permanently?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Pet urine odors require specialized enzyme-based treatments that break down uric acid crystals and bacteria causing the smell. We don't just mask odors – we eliminate them at the source. For severe cases, we may need to treat carpet padding or subfloor. Most pet odors can be completely removed, though extremely severe or old damage may require carpet replacement. See our pet odor removal service for details.

Question 8

Do I need to move furniture before you arrive?

Accepted Answer

We move light furniture like chairs, small tables, and ottomans as part of our service at no extra charge. We ask that you remove breakables, electronics, and personal items from surfaces. Heavy furniture like beds, sofas, wardrobes, and entertainment units typically stay in place – we clean around them and can clean underneath if accessible. If a room needs heavy items moved, tell us when you request a quote.

Question 9

How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?

Accepted Answer

We recommend professional carpet cleaning every 6-12 months for most households. High-traffic areas or homes with pets, children, or allergies benefit from cleaning every 3-6 months. Low-traffic areas like bedrooms can go 12-18 months. Regular professional cleaning extends carpet life, maintains appearance, removes allergens, and prevents dirt from becoming embedded in fibers.

Question 10

Do you offer same-day or emergency carpet cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Same-day slots are available, subject to availability. If your job is urgent, such as a pet accident or an event, call 07405 428259 or request a quote online and tell us when you need it done. We reply to quote requests within 1 hour.

Question 11

What's the difference between steam cleaning and dry cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) uses hot water and cleaning solution injected deep into carpet fibers, then extracted with powerful suction. It's the most thorough method, removing deep dirt and killing bacteria. Dry cleaning uses minimal moisture with chemical compounds or encapsulation. It dries sooner but is less effective for deep cleaning. We primarily use steam cleaning for best results. Drying time depends on the carpet, how soiled it is, airflow and the weather.

Question 12

Can you clean carpets on stairs and in hallways?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we clean high-traffic areas like stairs and hallways, which show dirt quickly. Stair cleaning needs specialist attachments because of the angles and edges, and we clean each step including risers and edges. A straight flight of up to 14 steps is £40, a hallway is £20 and a landing is £15. Stairs and landing together are £50, and free when you clean 3 or more rooms. Over 30m², winder stairs and very long staircases are priced after a quick look at photos or a visit.

Question 13

Do you offer carpet protection treatment after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

A protection treatment applied after cleaning helps liquids bead on the surface so you have time to blot spills before they stain. It suits light-coloured carpets, high-traffic areas and homes with kids or pets. It is not on our price list, so ask about it when you request a quote. Priced after a quick look. Send photos or ask for a visit and we reply within 1 hour.

Question 14

Are your cleaning products eco-friendly and non-toxic?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All our standard cleaning products are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and non-toxic. They're safe for children, pets, and the environment. We use plant-based solutions free from harsh chemicals, phosphates, and artificial fragrances. For extra-sensitive clients, we offer completely chemical-free hot water extraction using only heated water. Our eco-friendly approach doesn't compromise cleaning effectiveness.

Question 15

Can you remove old stains that have been there for years?

Accepted Answer

We can often improve or remove old stains, but success depends on stain type, age, and previous treatment attempts. Some old stains have permanently altered carpet fibers (especially if heat-set or bleached). We use specialized pre-treatment and professional stain removers. Many old stains show significant improvement even if not 100% removed. We'll assess during our visit and provide honest expectations about results.

Question 16

Do you clean area rugs and oriental rugs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We clean area rugs, oriental rugs, Persian rugs, and specialty rugs. Delicate or valuable rugs may require off-site cleaning at our facility for proper care. We assess fiber content (wool, silk, cotton), dye stability, and construction before cleaning. Oriental rugs receive gentle hand cleaning or specialized equipment. See our rug cleaning service for detailed information. We also clean rug pads and can pick up and deliver rugs if needed.

Question 17

What areas of Manchester do you cover?

Accepted Answer

That includes Manchester city centre, Salford, Trafford, Stockport, Stretford, Sale, Altrincham, Chorlton, Didsbury, Withington, Fallowfield, Levenshulme, Gorton, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Bolton, and surrounding Greater Manchester areas.
