If you have never had your carpets professionally cleaned before here is what to expect.
(1) All small items of furniture, knick knacks etc should be moved if possible prior to our arrival .
We can help with larger items, where moving furniture is not possible it can be worked around.
(2) All areas to be cleaned are thoroughly vacuumed if required.
(3) Any spots or stains are treated at this stage, the chemicals used will vary depending on stain and carpet type.
(4) Carpet is sprayed with a prespray (again this will depend on carpet type).
Prespray is worked into high traffic areas, then left for 10 min to break down soiling.
(5) Carpet is now ready for cleaning, if necessary a second application of stain remover is applied ,
then extraction rinsed using powerful hot water extraction equipment.
(6) If anti stain treatment is requested this will be applied after cleaning to damp clean carpet.
And finally....
Your furniture will be returned to original positions, with protectors place under the legs to prevent damage to your carpet whilst drying.
**Polypropylene carpet will be dry within 1 to 2 hours. Wool carpet will take between 2 to 4 hours.
Drying times can vary as its dependant on how dirty the carpet is and how much solution is used.

Attempting to remove stains from your carpet using products purchased from a supermarket can prove to be very costly.
The carpet below shows bleached areas which are a result of using such products.
The manufacturers claims that they will remove all kinds of stains easily may well be true in the beginning, what they fail to tell you is that they are very highly concentrated and if not rinsed thoroughly and neutralised will continue to work into your carpet long after you think you have finished removing the stains.
STOP!!!!!
Spillages and stains should only ever be blotted gently. Scrubbing causes the pile of your carpet to burst and as a result will give a worn and dirty appearance, while leaving the stain behind and lots of irreversible damage too.
If this happens to you call in reputable, qualified and insured professionals who know the correct chemicals and procedures to deal with such accidents, without causing further damage and costing you a small fortune to replace them.

carpet cleaning tips coventry
Have you heard it said that anyone can do any job if they have the right tools?
That might be a stretch but it is safe to say anyone can do a better job with the proper tools.
Important vacuum cleaner facts
Heading this list of carpet care tips is having a proper vacuum.
Getting yourself the best vacuum you can afford is the single most important step you can take in providing the care your carpeting needs.
The carpet industry is now rating vacuum cleaners to help you make an informed buying decision.
Criteria has been set for soil removal, air filtration, and damage to carpet fibers.
Machines that pass the test can display the Carpet and Rug Institute Green Label seal of approval.
Better vacuuming guaranteed
Because there is more contact with the carpet, it is tempting to set the rotating power brushes of your vacuum’s cleaning head to a low level.
That might seem reasonable, but did you know the contact is more damaging than helpful?
The integrity of the carpet fibers can be destroyed, causing worn areas to look dirtier than they really are.
If you have Berber carpets don’t vacuum them with the power cleaning attachment.
The rotating brushes can catch on the looped pile and pull long strands away from the carpet backing.
This is especially true if there are any seams in your installation.
Check the condition of your power head at regular intervals.
Loose or worn brushes, gouged or otherwise damaged plastic parts, or other obvious problems can cause abrasive damage to carpet fibers.
Carpet fibers that have been nicked and cut loose luster, are more easily pressed down under traffic, and allow increased dirt penetration of the fiber.
By vacuuming the high traffic areas from entry doors daily, other areas of the home will need less frequent care.
Now that may seem to you to be a lot of extra work, but it could actually mean less.
By concentrating on the dirtiest areas the cleaner ones won’t need to be vacuumed as often.
Your whole carpet will look better.
The make up of household dirt.
Do you have any idea what kinds of dirt and grime are being harbored in your carpeting? Several reliable sources have done breakdowns, and it looks something like this:
Sand 40%
Oxides 20%
Organic and synthetic fibers 20%
Oils and Resins 9%
Carbon 5%
Animal fats 4%
Moisture 2%
Vacuum cleaning can take care of the first three and some of the carbon and moisture.
Other cleaning methods have to be used to remove the others.
Pet dander and feathers are major allergens.
Keep forced air heating and air conditioning system filters clean and efficient by changing them regularly.
That might be a stretch but it is safe to say anyone can do a better job with the proper tools.
