Get your carpets cleaned by professionals!

The only way to properly maintain a carpet in a clean and tidy condition is to use professional carpet cleaning services every now and then. Fortunately for you, you have found our website.

We clean carpets, stairs, rugs, sofas, mattresses, curtains and hard floors in London homes, and offices and shops too when the office arranges it. Everything is cleaned where it is. Your rug stays on your floor, your sofa stays in the lounge and your mattress stays on the bed. The cleaner brings a portable hot water extraction machine in through the front door; it is what most people mean when they say steam cleaning or shampooing.

That goes for rugs as well: rugs cleaned at home explains how one is washed on your own floor, with the fringe done by hand.

    PURRFECT!!! The rug got the paws-up. A washed rug is usually dry in 4 to 7 hours, and then the napping can carry on.
  • A laughing baby lying on a beige carpet

  • A red, cream and navy patterned rug on oak floorboards with a ginger cat stretched out on it
    Washed where it lies, fringe done by hand, about half an hour on site. The ginger one has to shift for that bit.

Our prices are fair

You can see for yourself that our prices are indeed affordable: the card at the top of this page prices every room and every piece of furniture, and the total changes as you tick. A bedroom is £36, a living room £43 and one full flight of stairs £41. A two-seat sofa is £57. The smallest job we take is £67, so a hallway on its own comes to that.

A carpet nobody has touched in years costs the same as a tidy one. It just keeps the cleaner busy for longer. A room full of furniture costs the same as an empty one, too.

You hear about any extras before anything is booked. If the only parking is paid, it goes on at cost (we ask for a space or a visitor permit first). A flat above the first floor with no lift adds £10 a floor, because somebody has to carry the machine up. Every item and whole job is on the prices page.

What happens on the day

By choosing to work with us you are choosing to rejuvenate your carpet. On the day that looks like this: the cleaner looks the carpet over and vacuums it, pre-treats the stains and the worn track from the door to the sofa, washes it, then lifts the water back out with the same machine.

One or two rooms take between half an hour and an hour and a half. Stairs and a landing take up to an hour.

Chairs and side tables get moved for you. Beds, wardrobes, pianos and loaded bookcases stay where they are and the cleaner works round them. Please put away toys, ornaments and anything that could break before the doorbell goes.

Stains we can't promise to shift

Every stain is pre-treated and that is part of the price. Different marks get different treatments, and the whole carpet is washed even when one spot refuses to budge. We won't clean a single mark on its own, because that tends to leave a clean patch which stands out from the rest of the room.

Some things don't come out: bleach, burns, dye loss, old set-in stains, and stains someone has already had a go at with something from under the sink. The cleaner will tell you on the day. Old spills that reached the underlay can also creep back up as the carpet dries.

Pets are the big one. When urine has soaked into the underlay, the smell can come back after a clean, and lifting or replacing the underlay is the fix. Better you hear that from us now.

Who books a clean

Mostly people who live in the place. Owners and renters, families with a toddler who has just discovered blackcurrant squash, people with a dog or a cat, and people who have moved in and want the last lot's carpets done. Tenants book before they hand the keys back; landlords and letting agents book between lets, and the invoice can be split room by room when a landlord and a tenant share the bill.

We will gladly answer to all your questions about our company and services and provide you additional information if you contact us via telephone or e-mail during work hours. We will also explain to you in details our methods of work, so that you can see with your own eyes that we aren't just talking the talk but walking the walk as well. The office answers 020 3129 1949 and office@carpetcleaning.london from 8am to 7pm, every day, and you can book a clean once you have your price.

Questions Londoners ask before booking

How much does carpet cleaning cost in London?

It is priced by the room: £36 for a bedroom and £43 for a living room, and £137 covers a two-bed flat with the living room and hallway. The smallest job is £67. Paid parking goes on at cost and a flat above the first floor without a lift adds £10 a floor. Carpets cleaned room by room has the detail.

How long does the carpet take to dry?

Usually 5 to 7 hours. Heating, an open window and a dry day all help, so if the cleaner starts in the morning the room is normally dry by the evening. A sofa takes longer, about 12 to 15 hours.

Does anything leave the house?

No. Carpets, rugs, sofas, mattresses and curtains are all cleaned where they are. Curtains stay on the rail once the office has seen a photo of them; lined, interlined, silk and velvet ones need a specialist instead.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone over 18 has to let the cleaner in. Leave the water and power on, and tell the office where the cleaner can park nearby. You don't need to stand over the work.

How far ahead should I book?

A week's notice usually does it and sometimes less will do; weekends go first. After you send your price, the office calls or texts between 8am and 7pm to check the rooms, access, parking and any stains, and to agree a day. A 50% deposit by card or bank transfer holds the booking.

Do you come to my part of London?

Yes, if you are in one of the 32 boroughs or the City. Put your postcode in the card and it prices the job for your address. The areas we cover page lists every borough.
