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

Every quote is confirmed before work begins so you know exactly what you will pay.

Carpets cleaned by Stain Kings are typically dry within 2-4 hours. Horwich properties near the moorland edge tend to sit in slightly damper air than homes in central Bolton, so ventilation makes a real difference. Opening windows on opposite sides of the room creates a cross-draught that speeds drying significantly. Thicker pile and denser wool carpets – common in older Horwich stone terraces – hold more moisture and sit toward the 4-hour end of the range, while thinner polypropylene carpets in newer builds often dry within 2 hours. Running central heating at a low setting during cooler months also helps.

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, then immediately extracting it along with all dissolved dirt, bacteria, allergens and residue. The soiling is physically removed from the carpet and captured in the machine’s recovery tank. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, uses dry vapour applied at the carpet surface. It does not inject solution into the pile and does not extract soiling – it relies on heat alone to loosen surface dirt. This means steam cleaning cannot reach embedded contamination and often leaves moisture sitting in the carpet with no extraction mechanism. Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets all recommend hot water extraction as the preferred professional cleaning method for their products because it cleans deeper and dries faster.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, which means our technicians are certified under the WoolSafe international quality scheme for wool carpet products and operators. Wool is a natural fibre that is sensitive to pH levels, high temperatures and aggressive agitation. It requires low-alkalinity cleaning solutions applied at controlled temperatures to prevent shrinkage, colour bleeding or fibre damage. All Prochem solutions used by Stain Kings are formulated to meet these requirements, and our technicians adjust water temperature and extraction pressure specifically for wool during every 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 the property and how it is used. Family homes in Horwich with children or pets benefit from professional cleaning every 12-18 months, as foot traffic and spills accumulate faster. Rental properties with high tenant turnover should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back standards and protect the carpet investment. Older Horwich homes with heavy pile wool carpets – particularly the stone terraces along Church Street and Lee Lane – benefit from annual cleaning because dense wool traps more dust, allergens and moisture from the nearby moorland. Newer builds on estates like Stocks Park with lighter polypropylene carpets can often stretch to 18-24 months between professional cleans, provided they are vacuumed regularly.

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.
