Blowup Cleaners is a fully insured, family-run carpet cleaning company based at our Cheetham Hill (M8) base in Manchester, serving families, landlords and businesses across Greater Manchester.
Broughton sits just across the River Irwell from our Cheetham Hill base — around 8 minutes via Bury Old Road — and it is in Salford, not Manchester, a distinction the area wears proudly. Most of our M7 work is in the big family homes of Broughton Park, Higher Broughton and Kersal, where the Strictly Orthodox Jewish community lives in large Victorian villas that see heavy use from big families. Sunday-to-Thursday and pre-Shabbat Friday-morning slots are the backbone of our Broughton diary, and we never book Friday evenings or Saturdays here.
What carpets do you clean in Broughton?
Broughton's housing runs from grand to brand-new. Higher Broughton, Broughton Park and The Cliff conservation area carry large Victorian villas and former merchants' houses on wide plots — many now home to big Orthodox families, which means high-traffic wool staircases, hallways and multiple reception rooms. Kersal blends interwar and post-war semis with social housing at Lower Kersal. Lower Broughton is a different world again: riverside regeneration like Adelphi Wharf has brought modern apartment blocks and a younger renting population along the Irwell. Big observant-family homes get careful wool-safe extraction; the apartments get quick end-of-tenancy turnarounds.
- Large Victorian villa staircases and hallways in Broughton Park
- Multiple reception-room carpets in Higher Broughton family homes
- Wool runners and rugs ahead of Yom Tov and Pesach
- Interwar and post-war semi carpets in Kersal
- Riverside apartment carpets at Adelphi Wharf, Lower Broughton
Bottom line: Broughton carpets aren't all the same — and we don't treat them as if they are. The method we bring on the day is matched to the housing stock you actually live in.
What do Broughton customers book most?
Broughton’s most-requested job is large-family whole-house cleans in the Broughton Park and Kersal villas, timed before the festivals, plus end-of-tenancy cleans in the Lower Broughton apartments.
A local tip for Broughton carpets
Large observant households put heavy weekly footfall through the same reception and dining carpets. A clean timed ahead of Yom Tov keeps the high-traffic lanes from wearing flat, and we work strictly around Shabbat.
Parking & access in Broughton
For the big family houses in Broughton Park and Higher Broughton we work around the school run and the pre-Shabbat schedule, and there’s room to park on the plot. For Adelphi Wharf and the Lower Broughton riverside apartments we book a loading bay in advance.
Pre-Pesach Whole-House Clean in a Broughton Park Villa
A large Victorian villa in Broughton Park
- The problem
- A big Orthodox family in a five-bedroom Broughton Park villa needed the whole house — hallway, two reception rooms, staircase and landing — cleaned in the run-up to Pesach, with the entire job finished and dry before Shabbat and using low-fragrance products the household was comfortable with.
- Our treatment
- Sunday morning start, fibre-safe fragrance-free pre-treatment across all wool areas, hot water extraction at around 65°C with a pH-neutral rinse, and extra air movers to guarantee everything was dry well before Friday.
- The outcome
- Every carpet visibly refreshed for Pesach, no lingering smell, fully dry two days before Shabbat. The family now books the same pre-Yom Tov clean each year.
- Duration
- 5 hours on site
What do Broughton customers say about us?
Verified reviews from our Google Business Profile
“Honestly wasn't expecting much - we'd tried two other companies before and nothing shifted the stain by the front door. These lot actually got it out though. Took about 2 hours for the whole downstairs and it was dry by the evening. Would 100% use them again.”
“Needed the carpets doing before handing back the keys to our landlord. They fit us in within a couple of days which was a relief because I'd left it a bit last minute. Got the full deposit back so very happy with the result.”
“Red wine on a cream carpet - yeah, that was a fun Saturday night. I genuinely thought we'd need to replace the whole thing but they managed to get it out completely. Really chuffed with the result. Brilliant service.”

What do these carpet cleaning terms mean?
- Hot Water Extraction (HWE)
- Hot Water Extraction is the deep-clean method we use as standard in Broughton: pressurised hot water with a cleaning solution is injected into the carpet and immediately vacuumed out, lifting soil from deep in the pile. Often called “steam cleaning” but no steam is actually involved.
- pH-neutral rinse
- A pH-neutral rinse is a final-pass solution at pH 7 that neutralises alkaline residues from the pre-treatment. Essential for wool carpets (which damage above pH 8) and the safest choice for Victorian and Edwardian carpets common in Broughton.
- Dwell time
- Dwell time is the period a pre-treatment solution is left on the carpet before extraction — typically 5–15 minutes. Adequate dwell time is the single biggest factor in stain removal success.
- Enzyme treatment
- Enzyme treatments use biological enzymes to break down organic matter (urine, blood, food) at a molecular level rather than masking the smell. The only method that fully removes embedded pet-urine odour from carpet underlay.
- Low-moisture (encapsulation) cleaning
- Low-moisture cleaning uses a solution that crystallises around soil so it can be vacuumed away, using far less water than extraction. Ideal for quick-dry jobs and delicate or older carpets common in Broughton homes.
- Fibre protector
- A fibre protector is an after-clean treatment that coats each strand so spills bead on the surface instead of soaking in, buying you time to blot them before they stain. Worth adding on high-traffic Broughton stairs and living rooms.
Bottom line: The method matters more than the marketing. When hiring a carpet cleaner in Broughton, look for hot water extraction, adequate dwell time and a pH-neutral rinse — the same approach we use on every job.
