Carpet, Upholstery & Rug Cleaning

Drying times depend on the fibre type and home ventilation, but thanks to our professional-grade extraction equipment, most carpets and upholstery are touch-dry within a few hours. We always provide advice on how to speed up the process during our visit.

Yes. With 50 Years of Experience, we have tackled almost every spill imaginable. While we cannot guarantee 100% removal of permanent fibre damage or DIY “cleaning” attempts gone wrong, we have an exceptionally high success rate with tough stains like tea, coffee, wine, ink, and pet accidents.

Your family’s safety is our priority. We use high-quality, professional solutions that are tough on dirt but safe for your home environment, leaving no harsh chemical residues behind.

Specialist Stone & Hard Floor Care

Unlike basic cleaning, our restoration service involves deep-cleaning, grinding, and resealing stones like Marble, Travertine, Slate, and Limestone. This process removes deep-seated grime and restores the natural luster and protection of the stone.

Yes, we are specialists in LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile) and hard floor maintenance. We use dedicated machinery to lift dirt from textured surfaces and deep-clean grout lines, leaving your floors looking like new.

Quotes & Booking

We make it easy! You can call our offices directly, or for a fast estimate, send us photos of the areas or stains you need help with via WhatsApp at 07459 958632.

My carpets had seen better days after 10 years with two growing children. We had stairs, landing and all bedrooms cleaned and the results are amazing. All the various stains including felt tip, glue, silly putty and paint have been completely removed and the carpets look brand new. Thanks so much!
