Upholstery Cleaning
Think about all those times your dog jumped on the couch after rolling around outside. Think about all of the food that's accidentally been dropped on your armchair. Remember that time you spent a week sick on the sofa? Now, think about the last time you deep-cleaned your upholstery.

To determine which type of carpet you have, our technicians use a method which requires removing a small bit of fabric (on the stairs there are usually loose bits we can use) and burning it.
​
-
We have passed training courses and learned to recognise the different smells from different materials, and we assess the way the material feels after burning it. Some carpets are made of a mixture of natural and synthetic materials. In this case we will treat the carpet as a natural carpet to ensure that no damage is done it.

-
If we are cleaning a synthetic carpet, we can use a higher pH cleaning product and a higher temperature, for a deeper clean. Synthetic fabric will only absorb 8% of spillages (and cleaning products) so it is easier to remove stains from and will also dry more quickly after the cleaning. For synthetic carpets we can use spots and stain remover products, close to bleaching, to remove stains.
COMMON SYNTHETIC FIBRES: NYLON, ACRYLIC, POLYESTER, POLYPROPYLENE, RAYON.
-
If we are cleaning a carpet made with natural materials, we must use a maximum of 8 pH to make sure we will not damage the carpet and keep the colour safe. The natural material fabrics absorb 30% of cleaning products and spillages - so that means it will take longer to dry.
​
-
We cannot use the usual spots and stain remover products as they are too strong and could damage the carpet. We have lower PH products to use for the natural materials.
​
-
After the carpet has been cleaned, we use a pH meter to check that the pH level of the material is back at a normal level. We highly recommend for your carpet to be cleaned once a year to prevent a build-up of dust and bacteria, particularly if you have a wool carpet.
