Hallways start from £20, landings are £10 and a standard 13-step staircase is £37 with additional steps at £5 each.

We confirm every quote before work begins, so you know exactly what to expect – no surprises on the day.

Most carpets in Leigh homes dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction cleaning. The exact time depends on several factors including carpet thickness and pile depth, room ventilation, humidity levels and the amount of soiling removed. Leigh’s older terraced properties along streets like Bradshawgate and Firs Lane can have narrower rooms with fewer windows, so we recommend opening any available windows and interior doors to encourage airflow. Thinner polypropylene carpets in newer-build homes tend to dry faster than thick wool pile. During cooler months, leaving the central heating on a low setting can also help speed up drying.

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 the dissolved dirt, bacteria, allergens and staining. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, uses dry vapour applied at the surface of the carpet without any extraction step – so the loosened dirt has nowhere to go and often settles back into the fibres as they dry. Because HWE flushes soiling out of the carpet rather than just loosening it, it achieves a deeper, longer-lasting clean with faster drying times. This is why leading manufacturers including Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets all recommend hot water extraction as the preferred professional cleaning method for their products.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, meaning we are recognised under the international WoolSafe quality scheme for operators who have demonstrated competence in cleaning wool carpet products safely. Wool is a natural fibre that is pH-sensitive and can be damaged by high-alkalinity cleaning solutions, excessive heat or aggressive agitation. Our Prochem solutions are specifically formulated with low-alkalinity chemistry suitable for wool, and our technicians adjust water temperature and extraction pressure to protect the fibre. Whether you have a wool Axminster, a Wilton weave or a wool-blend twist pile, we follow WoolSafe-approved methods to clean it safely.

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 the type of carpet you have. For family homes in Leigh with children or pets, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove the allergens, bacteria and ground-in dirt that regular vacuuming cannot reach. Rental properties with high tenant turnover should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to meet deposit-return standards and maintain the carpet for the next occupant. Older Leigh housing fitted with heavy pile wool carpets – common in the Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Bedford and Pennington – benefits from annual professional cleaning to preserve fibre condition and appearance. Newer builds with polypropylene or synthetic carpets can often stretch to 18-24 months between professional cleans, depending on foot traffic and wear.

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.
