Carpet and upholstery cleaning is a science. When we buy a washing machine there are setting on the panel to advise the correct way to clean your clothes.

For example, would you clean your woollen clothes on a boil? No. Why not?

We learn from children when washing clothes the does and do not’s. It is called experience.

This is how we all learn.

Carpet cleaning is a science. Carpet cleaners in Warrington will understand the construction of your carpet, the fibre, the backing.

When cleaning carpets we proceed with an initial inspection. This allows us to view the fitting of the carpet.

Some carpet fitters have certain standards in their work. Carpet fitters in general will just come to your home and throw everything in, fit, and leave.

That’s fine however what have they left under your carpet? Dust.

Dust that you cannot see can in future years cause you a problem.

Any remnants of dust under your underlay will try to escape. When you hoover, you carpet the suction causing the dust to move around. Eventually this will lead the dust particles to stagnate around the skirting boards of the carpeted room.

So, were does the dust go now?

Up. Up into your fibres. An over time you will see these dark patches around the edges of your carpet. They are more visible when you have a lighter coloured carpet.

When this happens, it would be prudent to see the advice of a professional carpet cleaner. Having certain chemicals, we can help remove this dark patch for you.

In the more advance part of the clean the carpet would be pulled back, and cleaned from the sub floor upwards. A little costlier, however the benefits will speak for themselves.

Clean edges, no more dust, and moving forward the advice the carpet cleaner gives you to keep the edges clean will be invaluable.

Let’s move on to the basics of upholstery cleaning.

We reside on the sofa, upholstery, settee, etc for a few hours a day.

Coming home from work, chilling out, sometimes falling asleep.

The upholstery over time will start to gather dust, grease, make up, and other marks and stains.

The upholstery cleaner would be able to identify the majority of the marks, grease etc. Again, when the survey is carried out, we can guestimate with great accurately the type of stain we are dealing with, the type of fibre we need to clean. The fibres within upholstery are a little more fragile than those of our carpets.

The power of the extraction machine would be reduced a lot. We don’t want to blast holes in the fabric.

When cleaning the sofa, we need to be able to leave the customer somewhere to sit. Many years ago, when upholstery was cleaned it took many hours, even days to dry.

Today the machines used are super powerful. Sucking all the moisture out. Using air movers to dry the upholstery quickly.

So, before you jet off to hire a machine. Think.  Do I understand what I am doing? Will I cause any damage?

If you think so it may be best to call carpet cleaning Warrington to assist you.
