Methods

What Carpet Cleaning Methods We Use

Some companies use only one process. We offer three different procedures, so we can recommend the most suitable approach for your home or business premises.

Hot Water Extraction

Also known as steam cleaning, this is the traditional deep-cleaning method for many carpets and is ideal for removing embedded soil from the pile.

  • Pre-inspection of carpet type, condition and stains
  • Commercial vacuuming and targeted pre-treatment
  • Pre-spray and agitation to loosen soil from fibres
  • Controlled hot water extraction with correct pressure
  • pH balancing, grooming and drying support where required
  • Final inspection and aftercare advice

Very Low Moisture Cleaning

VLM carpet cleaning uses minimal water and is useful when fast drying and low disruption are important.

  • Pre-vacuuming to remove loose soil and debris
  • Low-moisture solution applied to break down dirt
  • Machine agitation with brushes, bonnets or pads
  • Soil is absorbed or encapsulated as the solution dries
  • Final vacuuming removes encapsulated particles
  • Often suitable for offices, hotels and busy homes

Dry Carpet Cleaning

Dry carpet cleaning is useful for delicate or moisture-sensitive carpets where a wet cleaning method may not be suitable.

  • Dry compound is spread evenly across the carpet
  • Counter-rotating brush machinery works it into fibres
  • The compound absorbs soil, grime and allergens
  • After dwell time, the compound is vacuumed away
  • Carpets can usually be used almost immediately
  • Helpful for sisal, jute, hemp, bamboo and coir carpets

Questions

Carpet Cleaning FAQs

Can you remove pet odours and urine?

We can treat many pet odours and urine marks, but the result depends on how deep the contamination has reached into the carpet, underlay or subfloor.

How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?

Hot water extraction usually needs several hours. VLM can often dry in 1 to 2 hours, while dry carpet cleaning can usually be walked on almost immediately.

How frequently should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?

Most homes benefit from professional cleaning every 6 to 12 months. Busy homes, pets, children and commercial footfall may require more regular maintenance.

Should I vacuum my carpets before the cleaning team arrives?

It helps if loose items are removed and the area is accessible. We will pre-vacuum where needed as part of the cleaning process.

Can I use household carpet cleaners for spot removal?

Avoid strong products, bleach or over-wetting. Blot fresh spills gently and contact us for advice, especially with wool or delicate fibres.

Can you remove stains like wine, tea, or coffee?

Many stains can be removed or significantly improved. Older stains, dye transfer, fibre damage and previous chemical treatments can affect the final result.

Do I need to move furniture before the carpet cleaning service?

Please move small items, breakables and anything valuable. Heavy furniture can be discussed when booking so we can agree what is practical and safe.

Can steam cleaning damage my carpet?

When the correct method, temperature and pressure are used, hot water extraction is safe for many carpets. If a carpet is unsuitable, we recommend VLM or dry cleaning instead.

Can you provide a quote over the phone?

Yes. Send the room count, approximate sizes, photos, access details and any stain concerns. Final pricing may depend on inspection and carpet condition.
