Allergies caused by dirty carpets

Because of the weight limit to what can be moved by our carpet cleaners, please move any heavily items.
What is Stain Protector/Scotchgard?
As an option we can apply a protective coating to your carpet, which adds a moisture-resistant barrier to each individual fibre. This barrier means that spills aren't immediately absorbed into the carpet and gives you an extra period of time to clean it up.
Additionally, this protective coating on your carpet helps reduce the wear and abrasion caused by soil in the carpet and protects it from excessive matting, which in turn will cause your carpet to perform better.
What is Carpet Conditioner?
As an option we can apply a carpet conditioner to your carpet, which helps to loosen up matted fibres and crushed piles. The result of this is that dirt it less likely to become trapped in the carpet and will be more easily removed through vacuuming.

Unless specifically requested, the price quoted will be for deep cleaning and would not include any carpet maintenance treatments. This can be taken as optional extras on the day.
