## What this service is — and who it's for.

### What it is
Hot-water extraction (often called steam cleaning) uses heated water and professional-grade detergent injected into the carpet pile under pressure, then immediately vacuumed back out along with dissolved soils, allergens and stain residue. It's the method recommended by most carpet manufacturers and the only one that genuinely cleans the lower fibres rather than just the surface.

### Who it's for
Tenants needing professional carpet cleaning to satisfy a tenancy clause, landlords preparing a property between tenancies, homeowners refreshing carpets that have lost their colour to traffic, and pet owners dealing with odours or accidents. We also clean rugs, stair runners and upholstery on request.

### When to book
Book carpet cleaning at least once every 12–18 months in normal use, more often with pets, children or pale carpets. For end-of-tenancy use, schedule the carpet clean as the final job — after the property has been emptied and the rest of the clean is complete — so the carpets aren't walked on while drying.

### Why professional matters
Domestic vacuum cleaners and supermarket shampoos remove surface dust but leave behind sticky detergent residue and ground-in soils. The result is carpets that look acceptable for a few days, then re-attract dirt faster than before. Professional extraction rinses the residue out, restoring the carpet's true colour and extending its lifespan.

The cost of getting it wrong
## What untreated carpets actually cost you
Beyond the obvious appearance issue, neglected carpets shorten replacement cycles by years. Replacing a 3-bed worth of carpet in Bristol typically runs £1,200–£3,000 fitted. A professional clean costs a fraction of that and routinely doubles a carpet's working life. For tenants, carpet-related deductions are one of the top three reasons deposits are reduced.

### Common mistakes we see

- !Renting a supermarket carpet machine and over-wetting the carpet, leading to mould in the underlay and a damp smell that doesn't fade
- !Scrubbing stains with the wrong product, setting them permanently into the fibres
- !Cleaning carpets early in the move-out and walking on them while drying, re-soiling them by check-out day
- !Ignoring traffic lanes until they're visibly darker than the rest of the carpet — at that point a clean can lift them but not always fully
- !Treating pet urine on the surface only — the salts soak into the underlay and odours return as soon as humidity rises

Our process
## A clear, repeatable system — start to guarantee.

- 01

### Inspection
We assess fibre type, soiling level and any specific stains, then choose pre-treatment and extraction settings to match.

- 02

### Pre-vacuum
Dry soils and grit are removed first — extracting wet carpet over loose grit grinds it deeper into the backing.

- 03

### Pre-treatment
Targeted spot treatment for grease, tannin, urine or traffic-lane build-up, with appropriate dwell time.

- 04

### Hot-water extraction
Heated solution is injected and immediately vacuumed back out, removing dissolved soil and residue together.

- 05

### Drying &amp; finish
Carpets are groomed in the pile direction. Drying typically takes 2–6 hours with windows open.

The benefits
## What you actually get when you book us.

### True clean, not surface refresh
Extraction removes embedded soil and detergent residue so carpets stop re-soiling quickly after cleaning.

### Fast drying
Powerful extraction means carpets are touch-dry in a few hours, not damp for days.

### Stain and odour treatment
Pet urine, food spills, ink and tannin stains treated with the right chemistry rather than guesswork.

### Carpet life extended
Regular professional cleaning routinely doubles working life vs vacuum-only maintenance.

### Allergen reduction
Removes dust mite waste and pollen embedded in the pile — useful for asthma and hay fever sufferers.

### Bundle savings
Save 10% when booked alongside an end of tenancy clean.

In detail
## Methods, fibres and what makes the difference
Not all carpet cleaning is the same. The method, the chemistry and the operator's experience all change the result. Here's what we use across Bristol carpets and why.

### Hot-water extraction vs dry cleaning
Hot-water extraction is the deep-clean method recommended by most carpet manufacturers and warranties. Dry/encapsulation cleaning is faster to dry but doesn't remove embedded soil to the same depth — it has its place in commercial corridors that can't be closed for drying, but for residential and end-of-tenancy work, extraction wins on results.

### Synthetic vs wool carpets
Polypropylene and nylon synthetics tolerate higher temperatures and stronger detergents. Wool needs neutral-pH chemistry and lower temperatures — using the wrong product on wool causes browning, shrinkage and pile distortion. We adjust accordingly for each carpet.

### Traffic lanes and discoloured paths
The dark paths through living rooms and hallways are a mix of oxidised oils from skin and shoes, fine grit ground into the pile, and detergent residue from previous cleaning. A pre-treatment with appropriate dwell time, followed by extraction, lifts the majority of this — but very old, set-in lanes may not return to factory new.

### Pet stains and odour control
Urine breaks down into salts and uric crystals that bond to the carpet backing and underlay. Surface cleaning removes the smell briefly; the salts re-activate with humidity. Effective treatment requires enzyme-based products that break down the bond, applied with sufficient dwell time. For severe cases, the underlay may need replacement — we'll be honest about what cleaning can and cannot solve.

### Stair runners and rugs
Stairs are awkward for DIY machines and accumulate the heaviest wear in the house. We clean stair runners and bound-edge rugs as part of the same visit. Loose rugs can be cleaned in place or, for delicate pieces, lifted for off-site treatment.

### Commercial carpet tiles and offices
For offices, we typically work outside business hours so the space is usable next morning. Commercial carpet tiles tolerate frequent encapsulation cleaning between deeper extractions, and we'll plan a schedule that suits the building's usage.

FAQs
## Straight answers, no small print.
Still unsure? Call 07840 257804.

How long until carpets are dry?+Typically 2–6 hours with windows open and reasonable airflow. We use powerful extraction to remove the majority of moisture during the clean — you won't be left with carpets damp for days.

Will old stains come out?+Most spills and traffic build-up lift well. Some stains — bleach damage, dye transfer from rugs, or stains older than two years — may improve but not fully disappear. We'll tell you honestly during inspection what to expect.

Do you use harsh chemicals?+We use professional-grade products chosen for the fibre and the soiling. Where children or pets are around, we can use lower-VOC options on request.

How much does carpet cleaning cost in Bristol?+Pricing is per room and condition. A typical 3-bed house is in the £100–£180 range. Bundled with end of tenancy cleaning, you save 10% on the combined total.

Do you move furniture?+We move light items (chairs, side tables, lamps). Heavy furniture stays in place and we clean around it, or you can move it ahead of our visit if you want a complete clean.

How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?+Every 12 months for households with children or pets, every 18–24 months for low-traffic homes. Manufacturers commonly require professional cleaning to keep warranties valid.

Can you treat pet urine?+Yes, with enzyme-based treatments. Severity varies — for long-standing or heavy contamination, the underlay may also need addressing.

Do you clean upholstery?+Yes — sofas, dining chairs, mattresses and car interiors on request. Send photos for a quote.

Can you do same-day visits?+Often yes for smaller jobs, especially mid-week. Call 07840 257804 to check current availability.

Which areas do you cover?+Across Bristol, Bath, South Gloucestershire, Somerset, Trowbridge, Cardiff, Glastonbury, Clevedon and Taunton.
