Carpet cleaners in Newton Le Willows
Are you seeking competent, highly trained, experienced local carpet cleaners? Hi, I am Jason. I have been in this industry for over twenty years now.
Methods and machinery have changed considerably over this time. Both portable and truck-mount machinery are very powerful.
I have kept up to date with technology and chemistry, so I am one step ahead of my competition attending training courses for stain removal, and new chemicals on the market.
I trained with both the NCCA and IICRC schools and exceeded their minimum pass rate. Attend refresher courses annually.
Carpet Cleaner Newton Le Willows
A customer contacted me requesting a free quote. As part of her tenancy agreement, she was leaving the property, and all furnishings had to be cleaned. She had a pet dog, so odour and stain removal was required.
My quotation was a price of £140.00. Lounge, stairs, three bedrooms.
Our process was explained as being every room would be vacuumed.
Each blemish would be addressed. Our expertise can sometimes be the difference between an alright result and a fantastic outcome.
We also advised of how long the work would take to complete, including drying times.
We did not get the job. Another company had bid a lower price of £100.00.
I believe my costs are very reasonable.
After meeting with the customer, I received an email asking for help. Her experience with the previous company was poor. She said the work done looked no different, took over a day to dry, no blemishes were removed. More had appeared.
My reply was I would need to revisit to carry out another survey.
On attending the site, my survey revealed the following.
A pH level of 11 was recorded, meaning no acid was used to neutralise any alkaline solution.
As mentioned, more marks were visible because of wicking.
Wicking is where a liquid or other substance has sunk into the underlay and when drying stains, rise back up the fibres. These are schoolboy errors.
To correct this, we had to start from the beginning. However, my cost had now increased by £30.00. The reason for this was a lot of soap was being held within the fibres so to protect my machinery, a defoamer solution would be required.
Also, the job will now take me 30 minutes longer to complete compared to my original survey.
I completed the job. We had a happy customer who had her bond returned. So the lesson is that cheap is not always the best. We only deliver quality results. How do we know?
We only use the methods taught many years ago at the NCCA training schools.
It amazes me how long people wait before they pluck up the courage to call me. Then expect their items to look like they did the day they bought them.
Am afraid your fabrics like your clothes require regular washing.
You and your pet bring a lot into your property from the outside world.
There will be microscopic friends wandering around, such as germs and allergens. And there are bacteria and certain types of viruses. Only steam extraction over 120c can destroy these for you.
Do the edges look dirtier than the other areas? This is known as filtration soiling. This is where dust is trapped.
Over time, this raises the fibres. We can remove this. However, in some instances, it will come back.
What other issues do we deal with?
Advanced and emergency stain removal
We are unable to provide a price for the following. This is because every situation is different as you can appreciate.
Panic ensues, a perfectly normal reaction. Unless handled by a specialist, the haemoglobin content may react with the fibre.
When we tackle this type of issue, the first thing we do after the survey is to flush the section with cold water.
If a previous attempt has been made, it is prudent for the technician to check the underlay. If this is contaminated, this will need replacing.
Once all the flushing has been completed, we will then use a dedicated solution that compliments the fibre.
Patience is required to allow the chemistry to work.
We can now steam extract, which not only sanitises but extracts all the biological matter.
Yes, it happens. Nappy spillage, upset dog, tablets kick in and can’t make it to the toilet.
Pet accidents are the normal culprits.
Liquid sinks and penetrates the underlay. This can be extracted if in small volumes. For the more serious or heavier contaminated areas, we may have to replace the underlay.
You then may have odour issues.
Not very nice. This can be via our pets or even us humans. From babies to animals, to adults.
It’s the smell we associate. It lingers.
Neutralising this requires specialist training.
Once all the work has been completed, we can apply our stain guard for you. There is an additional charge, depending on what we are applying it to.
We also assist you with many sofas, rugs, and mattresses.
All our quotations are free, so please get in touch with me.
If your items are not steam cleaned, it is not CLEAN.
You may consider that you want to rent a machine and do the work yourself. We strongly advise against this. You have been warned.
1/ Do you know what you are dealing with, i.e. natural or manmade fibres?
2/ Can these be wet extracted without shrinking?
3/ How quickly will things be dry?

With your upholstery, fabric identification is very important.
Different chemicals are used, and lower water pressure. The inspection will check for any rips, tired areas, and obvious dirt and greasy areas.
Whatever chemicals we decide to use will be sparingly applied. We will then use a brush to agitate this into the fabric. I like to look for a film of foam when doing this. This tells us that the muck is being broken down and lifted.
We normally start at the rear of the furniture, working to the sides. These are the least exposed areas to physical contact.
The rear of the headrests is next, followed by the arms and seating section.
When complete a terry towel is used to wipe over and renap the fibres. It also allows us to see if any areas require a further visit.
Once I am happy, an air mover is placed to speed up the drying times.
We also deal with leather furniture.
Hydes come in a variety of colours, so testing is required to ensure that no bleeding occurs.
Using a very mild alkaline solution, we will wash down the leather. This helps break down the muck and grease.
Once this is done, we now use dedicated creams. Using small circular motions on a soft cloth, the settee is worked on.
