Carpet Cleaning London

49As everyone in the cleaning industry can tell you, carpet cleaning is one of the most difficult and demanding tasks that professional cleaning agencies handle. Until very recently, you would have had difficulty locating a cleaning agency that has carpet cleaning on its list of services. This type of cleaning requires a lot of skill and expertise, and the lack of these was the main reason why most agencies would not offer to clean your carpet. The problem is that when one fails to clean the carpet, one usually damages it, rather than just leaving it in its original condition.
Long gone are the days when you would have to replace your carpets with new ones whenever they got dirty, or bring them to the carwash and clean them with some soap and water. Times have changed and now we have the ability to clean your carpets in your home. We bring the special tools and detergents and all you have to do is sit back and watch us do our magic.

Cleaning carpets is actually a tricky task. We make sure all our technicians are experienced, well-trained and know a lot about carpets, different fabrics and stains. The main reason carpet cleaning might easily end up damaging the surface is the different materials and stains. WIthout knowing the exact type of fabric one is working with as well as the stains that occur on it, one can not provide quality cleaning. Different materials react to stains and products differently. This is why using the correct detergent for your particular carpet is of crucial importance. This is just what our technicians will do. It is the first step of every carpet cleaning service to run tests on the particular carpet and determine the fabric, fiber type and materials used. This way one can decide which product would work best for the carpet on hand.

We use two different types of cleaning methods, depending on your carpet type, – steam cleaning and dry cleaning. Both are efficient, just used for different fabrics. Now we will tell you a bit more about each method because we want you to be fully informed about the process.
Steam Cleaning – This is the method we usually use. It is extremely efficient and leaves your carpets clean and disinfected. During this process a steam cleaning machine is used. It extracts water into hot steam ( up to 130 degrees) and dissolves the dirt found on your carpets. Here are the steps for this cleaning method:

  1. The technicians arrive at your home and run different tests to figure out the type of materials and fabrics on your carpet as well as any specific stains you might have. They also run a pH test.
  2. After that, a product is chosen. We only work with high-quality carpet shampoos and detergents. They are non-toxic and provide best results while not damaging your carpets.
  3. The whole surface of your carpet is thoroughly vacuumed, in order to remove any dust, dirt and particles from the surface of your carpet.
  4. The solution of choice is applied on the areas that require it, like some heavily-stained parts of the carpet.The chemicals in it help with dissolving the stains.
  5. The powerful steam cleaner is brought in. The hot, high pressure steam completely dissolves all stains, leaving your carpet dirt and bacteria – free.
  6. We deodorize the carpet and extract most of the moisture, in order to speed up the drying process.

Dry Cleaning – This is a fairly new method, used for more delicate or not so heavily-stained fabrics. The essence of this technique is the dry cleaning detergent that is put on your carpet. It reacts with the oils in the stain, which are usually the components that make dirt stick to your carpet fibers. The process takes a bit longer because you have to wait for the product to fully react, but you do not have to wait for your carpets to dry after!

  1. The technicians run the tests and then vacuum your whole carpet. This is a crucial step in dry cleaning because if some dirt is left prior treatment it might dissolve and cause staining.
  2. The special dry cleaning foam or powder is applied to the whole surface, or to the stained area only. The product starts reacting and is left on the carpet for about 2 hours.
  3. After it has dissolved the stains, the particular product is removed, using a rotary machine with cotton pads, soaked in hot water, placed on the bottom of it.

We do not encourage our clients to attempt cleaning their carpets on their own. As mentioned above, making the slightest mistake can permanently damage your carpet. This would mean having to throw it out in the garbage, and go and buy a new one. But think how much that would cost your household.

“ I have been thinking about replacing my old carpet for a while now. It is expensive, though, and means I have to make a lot of effort to remove everything from my house, remove the old carpet and place a new one. My wife suggested we try carpet cleaning and I thought it was pointless but there was nothing to lose so I agreed. All i have to say is – I am not replacing my carpet! These guys came and did some magic. The whole place looks brand new. I am honestly impressed!” – Jim Hiring
