Every quote is confirmed before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the day.

Most carpets are dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction cleaning. Drying time depends on several factors including carpet thickness, pile depth, ventilation and humidity levels. Chorlton’s older homes – particularly the Victorian and Edwardian terraces and semis – often benefit from high ceilings and sash windows that promote strong natural airflow when opened during drying. We recommend opening windows and interior doors after cleaning. Thicker wool pile carpets may take slightly longer than synthetic fibres, but our Prochem extraction equipment removes the maximum amount of moisture during the cleaning pass to keep drying time as short as possible.

Yes. All of our cleaning solutions are non-toxic, biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals. They are completely safe for babies, young children, dogs, cats and other household pets, as well as people with allergies or asthma. Our hot water extraction process actually improves the indoor air quality in your home by removing allergens, dust mites, bacteria and chemical residue that have become trapped deep within carpet fibres over time.

They are two entirely different methods, though the terms are often used interchangeably. Stain Kings uses hot water extraction, which works by injecting hot water and Prochem cleaning solution under controlled pressure deep into the carpet pile. The machine then immediately extracts this water – along with dissolved dirt, bacteria, allergens and cleaning residue – back into the waste tank. The result is a thorough clean from the base of the fibre upwards. Steam cleaning, by contrast, uses dry vapour applied at the carpet surface. It does not inject solution into the pile and does not extract dissolved soiling from the base of the fibres. This is why hot water extraction achieves a deeper clean and faster drying. Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets all specifically recommend hot water extraction as the preferred method for maintaining their products.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, which means we meet the standards of an international quality scheme specifically designed for operators who clean wool carpet products. Wool is a pH-sensitive natural fibre that can be damaged by high-alkalinity cleaning solutions or excessive heat. Our technicians use Prochem solutions formulated at a low alkalinity level suitable for wool, combined with controlled water temperature and reduced extraction pressure. This protects the fibre structure, dye stability and pile resilience of wool Axminster, Wilton and wool-blend carpets while still achieving a thorough deep clean.

We move light to medium furniture such as dining chairs, small tables, sofas and lightweight items at no extra charge. Heavy items such as beds, wardrobes, large bookcases and pianos are left in place and we clean around them. We recommend clearing smaller personal items, ornaments and clutter from the rooms before we arrive so we can work efficiently and ensure your belongings are fully protected during the clean.

The right frequency depends on your household and carpet type. Family homes in Chorlton with children or pets typically benefit from professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove embedded allergens, pet hair and tracked-in dirt from the nearby parks and meadows. Rental properties with high tenant turnover should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to meet deposit-return standards and maintain carpet condition between occupants. Older Chorlton homes – particularly the Victorian terraces along Wilbraham Road and the Chorltonville properties – often have heavy pile wool carpets that perform best with annual cleaning to prevent deep soiling from compacting the fibres. Newer builds with polypropylene carpet can generally go 18-24 months between professional cleans, as synthetic fibres resist staining more effectively than natural wool.

Most stains can be fully removed or significantly reduced, including tea, coffee, red wine, pet urine, food spills, mud, grease and general soiling. Some stains – such as bleach marks, permanent dye transfer and acid damage – have chemically altered the carpet fibre itself and cannot be reversed by any cleaning process. We always assess stains during our pre-inspection and give you an honest expectation of the likely outcome before any work begins. We carry specialist spotting solutions for over a dozen stain types including ink, candle wax, blood, paint and felt tip.
