 It is generally recommended to have carpets professionally cleaned every 12-18 months, but it highly relays on your circumstances. If you have pets, children, allergies or smoking habit, we recommend to clean them every 3-6 months. Same advice applies to high traffic areas at your place of work. Carpets cleaned often will last longer, stay safe and look like on the day you got them. 

 While it is possible to clean carpets yourself, professional carpet cleaning companies like ours have access to knowledge, specialized equipment and cleaning solutions that can be more effective at removing dirt and stains. In our experience using off-the-shelf products, or self hire carpet cleaning machines from your local Morrisons (You know what we're talking about), can be not very effective, costly or even damage your carpets. 

We wish we could say yes. While our carpet cleaning technicians can remove many stains, some may be permanent and may not be able to be removed completely.

 Many carpet cleaners will provide an cookie-cutter prices, or over the phone estimates but we know this approach could cost you more or is a sign of unprofessional approach of rouge cleaners trying to make quick buck. Why paying the same price as someone with carpets in salvageable state if your carpets only needs freshening up? We always give you an personalised quote based on the size and state of your carpet after examined them in person or on pictures.

 The drying time will vary depending on factors such as the humidity and temperature in the room, as well as the type of cleaning method used.

Talk to us about low moisture cleaning methods if you need your carpets dry in no time or want have as little impact on your business operations.

And yes, you can walk on your carpet while it's drying as long as it's kept to a minimum.

 Professional carpet cleaners like Cleaning 4U use equipment and solutions that are designed to clean carpets without causing damage.

We carry insurance for our employees and for the work that we do in your home or business. We also provide Safety Data sheets for all chemicals we use as well as risk assessment for all domestic jobs we undertake.

During service we recommend that you do keep your pet somewhere they will be comfortable - not all of our furry friends like the sound of vacuums or unfamiliar people in their space. Let us know how you'd like to handle your pet ahead of time to keep them safe and happy.

 Yes, pet owners are our often clients as the cleaning process we use is perfect to remove hair, unpleasant smells, stains from little dirty paws and, eghem, accidents.

  It is a good idea to move any small furniture or breakable items out of the room before the cleaner arrives, some things like memorabilia or antiques are excluded from insurance claims.
