Hallways start from £20, landings are £10 and a standard 13-step staircase is £37.

All prices exclude VAT, and there are no hidden fees or surcharges added on the day. A minimum call-out charge of £67 applies to every booking, which covers the technician’s travel, equipment setup and cleaning of the first area. Your exact quote is confirmed before any work begins, so you always know what you are paying.

Most carpets cleaned by Stain Kings are dry within 2-4 hours. Drying time depends on several factors including ventilation, carpet thickness and pile depth, and the level of humidity on the day. Didsbury’s period terraces and Edwardian semis often have good ceiling height and sash or bay windows that help with airflow – opening these during and after the clean speeds things up considerably. Thicker wool carpets with a deep pile will take longer than thinner polypropylene. We recommend keeping windows open where possible and avoiding heavy foot traffic on freshly cleaned areas until the carpet feels dry to the touch.

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.

Stain Kings uses hot water extraction, which is a fundamentally different process to steam cleaning. Hot water extraction works by injecting hot water and Prochem cleaning solution under pressure deep into the carpet pile, then immediately extracting it along with the dissolved dirt, bacteria and allergens it has loosened. The soiling is physically removed from the carpet in the extraction water. Steam cleaning, by contrast, uses dry vapour applied at the carpet surface only. There is no injection into the pile and no extraction step, which means loosened dirt remains in the carpet. This is why hot water extraction achieves deeper cleaning, removes more contaminants and delivers faster drying times. It is also why leading carpet manufacturers including Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets specifically recommend hot water extraction as the preferred professional cleaning method for their products.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, which means we have been assessed and approved under the WoolSafe international quality scheme for wool carpet products and operators. Wool is pH-sensitive, meaning it can be permanently damaged by high-alkalinity cleaning solutions that cause fibre swelling, colour bleed or texture change. Our Prochem solutions are specifically formulated with low-alkalinity chemistry that cleans effectively while keeping wool fibres safe. We adjust water temperature and extraction pressure for every wool carpet to protect both the pile and the backing.

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. For Didsbury family homes with children or pets, a professional clean every 12-18 months keeps carpets hygienic and extends their lifespan. Rental properties with regular tenant turnover benefit from a clean at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back standards and protect the landlord’s investment. Older Didsbury homes with heavy-pile wool Axminster or Wilton carpets collect embedded soiling more readily and benefit from annual cleaning to prevent fibre matting. Newer-build apartments or homes with polypropylene carpets can typically go 18-24 months between professional cleans, though this shortens if the property is in a high-traffic household.

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.
