Our Carpet Cleaning Process

We follow a consistent, professional eight-step process on every job. This ensures nothing is missed, the correct products and methods are used, and you receive a result you are genuinely satisfied with.

Step 1 — Free Assessment and Quote
We discuss your requirements by phone or in person, assess the size, fibre type, and condition of your carpets, and provide a clear, honest quote with no hidden charges. Call 07700 170870 or use our contact page.

Step 2 — Pre-Inspection on Arrival
Our technician inspects each area in detail, identifies problem zones, stain types, and any areas requiring special attention before any cleaning begins.

Step 3 — Pre-Vacuuming
Thorough dry vacuuming removes loose soil, dust, and debris from the carpet surface and pile — a critical step that improves the effectiveness of the wet clean.

Step 4 — Pre-Treatment and Spot Treatment
Appropriate pre-treatment solutions are applied to high-traffic lanes, stained areas, and soiled patches. These are allowed to dwell to break down soiling before extraction.

Step 5 — Deep Cleaning
We apply the most suitable cleaning method — typically hot water extraction — using professional-grade equipment that injects a controlled amount of hot water and cleaning solution deep into the pile, then extracts it along with dissolved dirt, allergens, and bacteria.

Step 6 — Deodourising
A deodourising treatment is applied to leave your carpets smelling clean and fresh, particularly beneficial in homes with pets or heavy footfall.

Step 7 — Pile Grooming and Drying Advice
The carpet pile is groomed to restore its natural direction and appearance. We advise you on drying times and ventilation to ensure the best result and minimise disruption.

Step 8 — Final Inspection
We carry out a final walkthrough with you to ensure you are completely satisfied before we leave.

Carpet Cleaning Pricing in Leicester

How Our Pricing Works
We do not publish fixed prices online because every carpet job is different. The cost of your clean is calculated based on a straightforward set of factors — there are no surprise charges on the day.

Factors That Affect the Price

  • Size of the area — total square footage or number of rooms
  • Carpet type and fibre — wool, synthetic, berber, and other specialist fibres may require different methods and products
  • Level of soiling — lightly soiled carpets require less time and product than heavily soiled or neglected ones
  • Number and severity of stains — individual stain pre-treatment adds time and specialist product use
  • Accessibility — stairs, landings, and awkward spaces are priced accordingly
  • Additional treatments — deodourising, fabric protection, or sanitising treatments

What to Expect — Honest Advice Before You Book

Drying Times
Hot water extraction leaves carpets slightly damp. Most carpets are dry within 2–6 hours depending on fibre type, pile depth, room temperature, and ventilation. We recommend keeping foot traffic to a minimum during this period.

Stain Removal — Setting Realistic Expectations
Professional cleaning removes the vast majority of everyday stains. However, some stains — including certain bleach marks, permanent dyes, old set-in stains, or damage caused by previous DIY cleaning attempts — may be permanent. We will always advise you honestly during the pre-inspection rather than make promises we cannot keep.

Carpet Condition and Age
Cleaning can significantly improve the appearance of older or worn carpets, but it cannot reverse physical wear, flattened pile in high-traffic areas, or fading caused by sunlight or age. We will flag any such areas during our assessment.

Furniture and Preparation
We ask that small items of furniture, ornaments, and breakables are moved prior to our arrival. We work around larger furniture where possible and use protective tabs or blocks where needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does carpet cleaning take?
The time depends on the number of rooms, the size of each area, and the level of soiling. A single room typically takes 20–40 minutes. A full house clean may take 2–4 hours. We will give you a realistic time estimate when you book.
How long will my carpets take to dry?
Most carpets are dry within 2–6 hours. Thicker pile carpets or rooms with limited ventilation may take slightly longer. Opening windows and using fans or central heating will speed up the drying process considerably.
Do I need to vacuum before you arrive?
It is helpful but not essential. We carry out a thorough pre-vacuum as part of our standard process, so your carpets will be properly prepared regardless.
Can you remove pet stains and odours?
In most cases, yes. We use specialist pet stain and odour treatments that break down the source of the smell rather than simply masking it. Very old or deeply set pet contamination may require multiple treatments or may have caused permanent damage to the carpet backing — we will advise you honestly during the assessment.
