Services
Truck Mount Carpet Cleaning
Our truck-mounted hot water extraction system delivers the deepest clean for carpets. Using high-pressure LPG-powered equipment, we remove embedded dirt, bacteria, and allergens. This method leaves carpets cleaner, drier, and fresher than electric machines, ideal for both domestic and commercial properties.
Dry Carpet Cleaning
The Dry 60 system cleans carpets with minimal water, drying in 60 minutes. This low-moisture technique prevents rapid re-soiling and is perfect for offices and homes. It ensures fast turnaround without compromising on cleanliness or safety.
Floor Cleaning
We clean all hard flooring types, including wood, stone, and vinyl, using high-powered tools. Our process removes deep-set grime and restores surfaces to a pristine condition. Ideal for both residential and commercial spaces requiring thorough maintenance.
Stain Removal
Specialist stain removal using chemistry-led techniques targets tough stains like ink, wine, and grease. Our industrial chemist expertise ensures effective treatment without damaging fabrics. We prioritise safe, residue-free solutions for lasting results.
End of Tenancy Cleaning
Professional end-of-tenancy carpet cleaning with certification guarantees landlord compliance. We use truck-mounted systems to meet rental agreement standards, ensuring deposit protection. Includes deodorising and insect treatment where required.
