Carpet Cleaning
Our carpet cleaning utilises Hot Water Extraction and specialist dry-cleaning methods to remove deep-seated dirt and stains. We assess fabric type and soiling level to determine the optimal approach, ensuring thorough cleaning without damage. Anti-stain protection treatments create durable barriers against future spills, extending carpet lifespan while maintaining appearance.
Rug Cleaning
We offer comprehensive rug cleaning for both machine-made and hand-knotted rugs. Off-site cleaning allows controlled environments for delicate dyes and high-pile materials. Our process includes pre-cleaning beating, dye testing, tailored washing techniques, and rapid drying to prevent bacterial growth, restoring rugs to their original condition.
Upholstery Cleaning
Our upholstery cleaning addresses skin oils, pollutants, and chemical damage using fabric-specific solutions. We employ pre-spray treatments and specialist hand-tools to lift grime without over-wetting fillings. Delicate fabrics receive dry-cleaning, while rapid drying prevents discolouration, ensuring safe, effective restoration of sofas and chairs.
Leather Cleaning
We clean and protect all leather types through a five-stage process. After assessing leather family and soiling level, we use progressive cleaning agents to remove embedded dirt without stripping pigments. Colour repair restores damaged areas, while protective treatments guard against future stains and wear.
Stain Removal
Our advanced stain removal techniques tackle 90% of stains when addressed promptly. We analyse stain composition, fabric type, and prior treatments to determine optimal methods. From enzymatic reactions for organic stains to chromogenic treatments for stubborn marks, we employ specialist solutions to restore fabric integrity.
