Carpet Cleaners Altrincham
Our Altrincham Carpet Cleaners are here to help both residential and commercial customers. If this is a full service, stain removal, or just some advice.
We have been operating for over twenty-plus years.
Trained with both the IICRC and Ncca. We are fully insured.
Before we begin with any work, we will take a detailed survey. Understanding what fibre is being dealt with is required.
Using an incorrect method or solution can cause damage. This is where our skill comes in.
Steam extraction is by far the most popular system we use.
This has massive advantages over other methods.
Heat at over 120f is hot enough to destroy bacteria, dust mites, allergens, and more.
It also helps remove grease and grime, which includes dirt.
Our truck mount is powerful, with vacuum and freshwater lines running up to 150 feet.
The solutions we use are the best in the market. Using quality will guarantee that I can give you the best possible outcome.

This customer was about to market their property.
First impressions last.
This is what we did to achieve these results.
1/Pre-survey. Identification and understanding of fibres.
2/ My assistant vacuumed. Common areas of buildup are edges. This is where dust lives.
We use a small nozzle attached to our machine that aids with this dust removal.
3/ Identify any problems. We use fit-for-purpose products that attain the best results.
4/ Application of our solution is applied. We allow at least ten minutes of dwell time.
They will break down soils, grease and odours.
5/ Steam extraction now took place.
This was a large home that took us several hours to complete.
We use alkalines, acids, gels, coffee and tea eliminators, rust removal chemicals, and red wine reducers. Our list is quite vast. Understanding what each and everyone can do is a game of chemistry.
We sometimes have an end of a tenancy on the Yuk scale.
You have seen on television some conditions people live in.
So having powerful agents to break down all these types of contamination does help.
Some companies or individuals are not trained or even insured, insured, so buyers beware.
You may see amazing offers such as £19.00 a room. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
We have to rectify these problems, which are a lot more expensive than your original outlay.
By this, we mean
Smells are evident the following day. This is the formation of mildew, which is caused by over wetting. The water seeps into the underlay and is now trying to dry, but can not.
Fixing this is costly, and here is why: Replace with new padding, treat the reverse, and then refit. We can now steam extract.
As a ballpark figure, a standard living room would have cost £350.00. Besides this, you would empty the room before works begin.
Or you can have a cost from me, which is normally £65.00 for a lounge up to 15ftx 12ft and bone dry in around three hours.
As mentioned, not all furnishings can be cleaned using water. They can shrink or distort.
We have to be careful with Axminster, Wilton, and Sisal.
For the above, we would use a dry method.
This is where a mist of solution is sprayed, followed by our dry compound, which looks like sand. This is agitated into the fibres left for twenty minutes and then vacuumed. Results can vary depending on the level of contamination we are dealing with.
Low Moisture
This is where a minimal amount of moisture is used. I distributed an application of dry compound over the surface area. A CRB (Counter-rotating brush) grinds the compound into the fibres. The compound absorbs the dirt, turning it a darker colour.
It is then hoovered away.
As you can appreciate, there are limitations to this method.
We were trained to understand the best method, and which product to help uplift the eyesore marks. Common ones are red wine, rust, coffee and tea, and aged mud.
Using an array of acids and gels helps us remove most. I say most, as some folk attempt the removal themselves without success. Unfortunately, this enhances the damage and can make it permanent.
Shop products can cause permanent damage mainly because of their ingredients and their reaction when they come into contact with fibres. The bottle does a state test in an inconspicuous area. You have been warned.
Advance stain Extraction
Typical issues that cover this are:
When dealing with blood, we wear our PPE. We address the issue at first, flushing using just cold water. This allows us to then view any markings and treat them accordingly. It may be removed using standard solutions, or more advanced techniques such as rust removers.
Excrement
When isses such as this happens please dont be alarmed. We deal with this type of enquiry a lot.
If you have a dog, you’ll have had this experience. Removing the odours associated is another thing. Liquid seeps down and underneath into the underlay. Once this gets wet, this is now contaminated.
This is where the smells come from. Ammonia is very distinctive and lingers,and is not pleasant. To access the underlay, your carpet needs to be uplifted.
From pets to children to adults. Illness , medicines and too much wine. The lingering stench is also a common ingrediant.
For the above we aim to attend to you the same day.
Having a fabric guard will help you with those unexpected accidents. Liquid spillages sit on top of fibres, giving you time to remove them and not penetrate the padding.
The application requires a cure time of around eight to twelve hours and is administered post clean. This is an additional charge.
Renting a carpet cleaning machine
When any company hears that the homeowner has attempted the work themselves without success and now requires us to fix their mistakes sends a shiver down our spine. Here is why.
What you have hired lacks
1/ Psi pressure- may be a maximum of 30. We use on average 300 and have gone to 500.
2/ Vacuum- A single hoover. We have a vacuum system that operates up to 130 feet away.
3/ Drying Times- How long is a piece of string? We have known items to take days to dry. Mildew starts to form, which then creates that odour.
Working with us: Carpets will be dry in two to four hours, and upholstery in four to six hours. This is all dependent on the internal humidity.
As part of your hiring, purchase their products.
This is how they make their money. Cheap, poor-quality solutions.
We, on the other hand, used high-quality alkalines, acids, gels plus specific problem solvers.
Such as chewing gum, red wine, rust, vomit, and faeces.
Hands on experience plays a large part in obtaining a positive result.

Identification is critical for any piece of furniture. You do not want to use steam on silk or cotton or apply aggressive solutions. This type of upholstery would be dealt with using low-moisture or dry compound. You won’t get the same results as if you were using steam (h20g).
Most work we carry out is compatible with hot water extraction or vapour.
An appropriate solution is applied and agitated gently but thoroughly. What we are looking for is a slight foaming. This tells us that the chemical is working on the dirt.
We always start at the rear and work our way to the sides.
The more used area such as arms, headrest, and seating may require additional work dependent on the condition.
Once complete, we now wipe down the fabric to place the nap back in the correct direction, and it may grab some moisture via the friction caused.
Finally, we place an air mover on the settee up the drying times.
Hides vary a lot. Colour, type.
Understanding what process is safest to revive your furniture should be carried out by a trained technician. Understanding what solutions and creams will deliver the best outcome.
Removal of grease and dirt is very common. We test before we proceed. This allows us to ensure no colour run or transfer will happen.
Our process is as follows:
We will use a dedicated solution to wash down the furniture. This opens the pores allowing up the mucky stuff to be removed.
Starting at the back and working our way around. Once complete, we now use a fresh white towel and wipe down. This is a great indicator to see if anything transfers.
Once I am happy we now repeat the process, but this time with our creams.
Using small circular motions. Once finished, we advise you to sit down for at least an hour.
Just to allow the cream to penetrate the skin fully.
Most landlords now require a professional service when leaving either a commercial or residential building.
Ensuring that the next occupier or tenants will snap up this vacant opportunity.
When we receive calls for this, we will either visit to have a Whats App live video call with you to see the condition.
From this, we can give you a price and advise of the length of time to complete and what outcome you can expect.
Our office will then issue an invoice for your records.
We live in a three storey property. Are you still able to access our top floor?
My dog has had an accident. Are you able to eliminate this odour and stain?
Steam extraction will eliminate odours, with the assistanc of the chemicals to most rid stains.
