Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our professional carpet cleaning service utilises Karcher's hot water extraction technology to remove 99% of embedded dirt and stains. We begin with a free survey to assess your specific needs, followed by pre-treatment of stains and thorough rinsing. The process includes pile re-setting and furniture protection, with drying typically completed by the following day. This method preserves carpet longevity while maintaining indoor air quality through chemical-free rinsing.
Upholstery Cleaning
Specialist upholstery cleaning protects your furniture while eliminating deep-seated contaminants. Our technicians use precision hand-tools to clean frames and cushions separately, ensuring complete coverage without water damage. The process includes protective surface preparation and post-cleaning drying instructions, with results that restore fabric appearance without compromising structural integrity. Cushions require turning after 24 hours for complete drying.
Rug Cleaning
Comprehensive rug cleaning combines deep pile treatment with fringe restoration. We protect underlying surfaces before using tailored extraction techniques for different rug types. Thin rugs receive specialised attention through smaller tools, while fringes are meticulously combed and re-aligned. Post-cleaning, rugs are positioned for optimal air circulation, with most requiring two days for complete drying while remaining usable immediately.
Stain Removal
Targeted stain removal addresses specific contaminants using appropriate chemical solutions. Our technicians identify stain types during free surveys to determine optimal treatment protocols. This includes rust marks, candle wax, and persistent soiling, with multiple extraction passes ensuring maximum effectiveness. We provide honest assessments about removal limitations while prioritising fabric preservation throughout the process.
Free Surveys
Complimentary pre-cleaning surveys evaluate your specific requirements and fabric suitability. Our experts identify potential challenges and provide transparent cost estimates before any work commences. This service determines appropriate cleaning methods, required timeframes, and realistic outcome expectations, ensuring informed decision-making with no obligation to proceed.
