Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does cleaning my carpet remove all stains?
A: During the pre-inspection, we will take a walk around the property with you. Asking you to show us any stains, and give a bit of background on them. Most stains can be removed, however we will never make any guarantee of removal.
Q: What should I do about the furniture in the room?
A. We will happily move any furniture that does not require more than one person. We would also kindly ask that you remove small objects and breakables before we arrive.
Q: Can you give me a quotation over the phone/Internet?
A: Yes there is no need for us to visit your home. Commercial property will require an on-site visit for us to measure up.
Q: What is the estimated drying time?
A: The cleaning will leave your carpets or upholstery damp and they will dry naturally during the course of the day within several hours. Our premium packages include deodorizers and turbo driers to make the carpets dry a lot faster. In the summer months when it is more frequently warm this really accelerates drying times.
Q: How quickly can I get my carpet or upholstery cleaned?
A: We will try to get you an appointment within 24hrs of contacting us. However, especially during the summer, it is not unheard of to be booked up for 2/4 days in advance so please use forward thinking when looking to book.
Q: How many times a year should I have my carpets cleaned?
A: Cleaning frequency depends on a number of things such as the number of occupants in the household, pets, smokers and children. On average you should clean your carpets every six months to a year depending on soiling levels.
Q: Can you remove wine, tea, coffee, etc?
A: Some stains can be permanent and therefore we can’t make any promises that we can remove them. We usually get better results if we attempt to remove the stain before anyone else tries.
Q: Can pet odours and urine be removed?
A: Something we get asked quite a lot this. The deodoriser in our cleaning solution will deal with most pet odours. We use professional spotters specificity designed for the removal of urine. However, as above we never make any guarantee of full removal.
Q: Can steam cleaning damage my carpet?
A: No. Hot water extraction is considered to be the best method for removing embedded soil and other contaminants. It is also the preferred cleaning method by the leading carpet manufacturers. In some situations we do not use “Steam cleaning” this is when cleaning wool products, and basically any other heat sensitive fabric.
Q: My carpets smell like wet dog after they have been cleaned. Why is this?
A: This is normal with Wool composed carpets and will Dissipate in several days. The “Doggy” smell you're sniffing out is lanolin, which is naturally secreted by sheep. This is what makes their coats waterproof, and this often results in wool smelling more strongly when wet – don't worry the smell will pass.
Q: Is the price you quote the price I will pay?
A: Yes, The price quoted is the price you pay – End of. The only time we ever charge more than quoted is when you ask us to clean other items/rooms when we are on site. Or if the items you asked to be cleaned aren't quite how you described (e.g. You asked for 2 seater sofa clean when it is in-fact a 3 seater).
