Carpet cleaners in Skelmersdale​

Carpet cleaning in Skelmersdale is our passion. We all love to have carpets and upholstery. Maintaining them is another thing.

Manufacturers suggest an annual service to maintain furnishings’ longevity and look. This advice will vary from commercial to residential properties.

You may have a busy household where more frequent servicing is required. Pets are another reason why a more regular visit.

Our team has many years of experience. Have trained with both the Iicrc and Ncca. Covering basic, intermediate, and advanced courses.

Like any trade, you can not just jump in and hope for the best.

Understanding what fibers you are dealing with, how to remove stains correctly, and dispel odours.

To assist our team in achieving the very best results, we invest in both quality machinery and chemicals.

Process 

Before any work commences, we will conduct a survey. We must know what fibre we are dealing with. This determines which method we use.

For example, a polypropylene carpet can have any system used on it, however, a Wilton should only be a dry method. The reason for this is that a Wilton will shrink if moisture is used.

We check for stains, fitting, and joints.

Steam Extraction

Otherwise referred to as hot water extraction. This is the preferred system used. Using water pressure and heat to penetrate fibres. This will extract deeply ingrained dirt, most stains and smells. We control temperatures from cold to very hot vapour. 

Besides this, we have quality solutions to assist us in tackling the toughest of jobs. We carry alkalines, acids, deodorisers, tea and coffee eliminators, rust removers, red wine reducers plus many more.

This is our most popular way to work.

Dry Method

Some fabrics like the clothes we wear have specific washing cycles. Although this method is dry, it is better to claim it is minimal moisture. This is how it works and when it is used.

For instance, a Wilton. The construction of the weave and weft, if it receives too much moisture, will shrink.

A light spray of our solution as in a mist. Followed by a dry compound. This looks like sand. This is liberally applied and agitated using a machine with counter-rotating brushes. Once the area is done, we allow this to dwell for twenty minutes. This absorbs dirt and odours. We then vacuum to remove all the dry compounds.

Results vary, and the predictions are explained before work.

Bonnet System

Used in larger areas such as schools, care homes, and hotels. Using a wool pad, this rotates.

This only tackles the surface. As no heat is present, no sanitisation will occur. When providing our quotes, we explain the differences between the systems available. Costs will vary.

Urine  

Our pets and even we humans have urine accidents. The vast majority are animal-related but treated in the same way. 

Most will dab up, pee, or try to. If you are lucky, you won’t have problems.

We split up the extraction into three areas.

1- Easy This is where extraction will remove any remnants or staining during the service of your furnishings.

2- Medium Use a Uv light to identify the multiple areas of contamination. Use specific chemicals to aid in the breakdown of stains and smells.

3- Upheaval Liquid sinks and when done in vast quantities, the only option is to uplift the underlay and treat the subfloor. If a porous subfloor such as wood, we need to treat this and allow it to dry. Sometimes this work may take two visits to fix successfully.

Odours

Smells are not pleasant. You may have tried sprays, opening windows, and using bicarbonate of soda. We carry solutions that eat odour at the molecular level.

We apply this chemical after we have completed our work.

When dealing with the likes of smoke, weed, or anything else that has penetrated the walls and ceiling, as these are porous, we would use our ozone machine.

Stains

Panic sets in when a spillage occurs. Our advice is to blot this up. Never rub. Dab with lukewarm water.

Shop products are your go-to item. A word of warning. These contain bleach that could cause damage.

We have an arsenal of products that help with the complete extraction for day to day issues such as food and drink.

For the more complicated enquires we class as an emergency such as:

Blood

Excrement

Vomit

Stain Guard

An invisible barrier of protection. Applied after works are completed. This is an extra charge.

Leather Furniture

We suggest an annual maintenance programme. The hide requires keeping its suppleness. Dirt and grease start to block the pores. Specialist solutions and creams are used to keep your furniture in the best possible condition.

Regular calls from the public seeking our help, as they now have a musty smell that just won’t go away. This is caused by over-wetting. Your underlay is damp and is now forming mildew.

Is it worth it?
