Hallways start from £20, landings are £10 and a 13-step staircase is £37 (£5 per additional step).

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

Most carpets are touch-dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction. Drying time varies depending on carpet thickness and pile depth, room ventilation, and ambient humidity. Gorton’s terraced homes and older semis can have limited airflow through smaller windows, so we recommend opening windows on both sides of the property where possible to create a through-draught. Thicker wool carpets with a deep pile will take longer to dry than thin polypropylene. On warm, dry days drying can be as quick as 2 hours. On cooler, damp days – common in east Manchester – turning the central heating on low and keeping interior doors open will speed up the process significantly.

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 from steam cleaning. Hot water extraction works by injecting hot water and Prochem cleaning solution under pressure deep into the carpet pile. The machine then immediately extracts the water along with dissolved dirt, bacteria, allergens and residue in a single pass. Steam cleaning, by contrast, uses dry vapour applied at the surface of the carpet. It does not inject solution into the pile and it does not extract – meaning soiling is loosened but not removed from the carpet. This is why hot water extraction achieves a deeper, more thorough clean and why it dries faster. It is also the reason 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 are recognised under the WoolSafe international quality scheme for wool carpet products and operators. Wool is a natural fibre that is pH-sensitive and can be damaged by high-alkalinity cleaning solutions or excessive agitation. Our technicians use Prochem solutions formulated with low alkalinity specifically for wool, and we adjust water temperature and extraction pressure to protect the fibre structure. Whether your Gorton home has a wool Axminster, a Wilton or a wool-blend twist pile, we have the training and products to clean it safely and effectively.

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 ideal frequency depends on your household and carpet type. Family homes in Gorton with children or pets benefit from professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove embedded allergens, pet hair and ground-in dirt that vacuuming alone cannot reach. Rental properties with higher tenant turnover should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back standards and protect the carpet’s condition. Older Gorton homes with heavy-pile wool carpets – common in the Victorian and interwar terraces along streets like Melland Road and Woodland Avenue – benefit from annual cleaning to prevent fibre matting and discolouration. Newer builds with polypropylene carpets are more resilient and can typically go 18-24 months between professional cleans.

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.
