Carpet Cleaning
Professional carpet cleaning using industry-approved methods that remove embedded dirt and allergens while preserving fabric integrity. Our technicians employ truck-mounted systems and eco-friendly solutions suitable for both synthetic and natural fibre carpets. Regular maintenance extends carpet lifespan and improves indoor air quality through comprehensive particulate removal.
Carpet Inspections
Certified inspections identifying carpet defects caused by manufacturing faults, installation errors, or improper maintenance. We conduct fibre analysis, dye migration tests, and dimensional stability assessments following IICRC S100 standards. Our detailed reports include photographic evidence and actionable recommendations for remediation or replacement.
Stain Removal
Specialist stain removal service combining chemical analysis with precision application techniques. We identify stain origins through pH testing and solvent reactions, then apply targeted treatments for substances like wine, ink, or pet contaminants. Our approach prioritises fibre preservation while achieving maximum colour restoration.
Training Courses
IICRC-approved certification programs covering carpet cleaning, upholstery maintenance, and commercial carpet management. Our two-day intensive courses combine theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice using industry-standard equipment. Graduates receive internationally recognised qualifications that enhance professional credibility and technical competence.
Upholstery Cleaning
Comprehensive upholstery cleaning for domestic and commercial furniture using low-moisture extraction methods. We test fabric composition and dye fastness before applying pH-balanced solutions that remove soils without compromising material integrity. Post-cleaning protection treatments help maintain appearance and resist future staining.
