Cleaning

We pride ourselves with doing the best rug and carpet cleaning in the UK.
We undertake the cleaning of Chinese, Indian, Turkish, Persian, Afghan, Moroccan rugs as well as machine-made rugs.
Every rug and carpet needs to be cleaned every 5 to 10 years to prolong its lifetime.
In daily usage dust and grits goes deep into the pile of the carpet. Then, in conjunction with humidity in the air,
trapped dust turns into a dryish clay which makes the wool of the carpet brittle. After a certain time, the carpet
becomes like sandpaper and gets more force of friction which wears out the carpet. Normal cleaning methods can not
take this dust away, for example hovering can only provide a superficial cleaning.

Our method of cleaning starts with dusting, which takes out 90 - 95% of the dust. Then we wash the carpet thoroughly.
We extract the dirty water and soap residue by spin drying. We then dry the carpet in natural conditions without exposing it to unnatural heat which can cause wrinkling of the carpet. Finally, another dusting session is necessary in order to eliminate the stubborn particles that have not been removed during the first dusting. Although this is our general method, we treat each carpet individually in order to prevent damaging and possible colour run incidents.
We also offer moth proofing and freshening treatment service to those carpets created fungi in its structure that causes bad smell.
