Cleaning advice and guides
Practical articles on looking after carpets, sofas, rugs and curtains between professional cleans, written from what we see on the job.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Manufacturer guidance, what actually happens to a carpet between cleans, and how the answer changes in a house with pets, children or a busy hallway.
What to do in the first ten minutes after a spill
Blotting rather than rubbing, working from the outside in, and the household products that make a stain permanent instead of removing it.

Why rug colours bleed, and how we test for it
Hand-dyed and older rugs can release dye when they get wet. Here is the test we do before any water touches the pile.
What mattress cleaning can and cannot fix
An honest look at surface cleaning and deodorising, what sits too deep in the foam to reach, and when replacing is the better answer.

In-situ cleaning saves taking everything down, but linings, interlinings and some fabrics shrink. How to tell which you have.
End of tenancy carpet cleaning and your deposit
