Carpet Cleaning
Our professional carpet cleaning service utilises hot water extraction and dry cleaning methods to remove deep-seated dirt and stains. We serve residential and commercial properties across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, restoring carpets to like-new condition while preserving their longevity. Our technicians complete most jobs within hours, leaving minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Upholstery Cleaning
Specialising in fabric and leather upholstery cleaning, we rejuvenate sofas, chairs, and other furniture pieces. Our non-invasive techniques effectively remove stains and odours from delicate materials while maintaining the integrity of your furnishings. This service is particularly popular with clients preparing for events or maintaining high-traffic commercial spaces.
Scotchgard Protection
We apply 3M Scotchgard protectant to create an invisible barrier against spills and stains on carpets and upholstery. This preventative treatment extends the life of your textiles by preventing permanent damage from common household accidents. The application process takes just minutes following a thorough cleaning session.
Rug Cleaning
Our specialist rug cleaning service handles both small area rugs and large wall-to-wall installations. We use equipment specifically designed for different fibre types, ensuring proper moisture control and complete drying. This service includes edge-to-edge cleaning and traffic lane restoration for high-usage areas.
Dry Cleaning
For clients requiring faster drying times, our dry cleaning method uses minimal moisture while achieving excellent results. This technique is ideal for commercial environments and homes with limited ventilation. The process effectively lifts dirt and stains without leaving residual dampness.

Questions
Do you offer both residential and commercial cleaning services?
Yes, we serve both domestic and business clients across Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, adapting our approach to suit different property types and usage patterns.
What areas do you cover?
We operate throughout Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire, including Hitchin, Letchworth, Stevenage, Bedford, and surrounding villages within a 20-mile radius of our Hitchin base.
How long does carpet cleaning take?
Most domestic jobs complete within 2-4 hours depending on room size and soiling level. Commercial projects receive customised scheduling to minimise business disruption.
Can you remove pet stains and odours?
Our specialist treatments effectively eliminate pet-related stains and odours using enzymatic cleaners that break down organic matter without damaging carpet fibres.
Do you move furniture during cleaning?
We relocate light furniture with client permission, protecting items during the process. Heavy or valuable pieces remain in place while we clean around and underneath them.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Industry standards recommend annual cleaning for most homes, though high-traffic areas or pet-owning households may benefit from more frequent maintenance.
