We confirm every quote before work begins so there are no surprises on the day.

Most carpets dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction cleaning. In Longsight, where many homes are compact Victorian terraces with smaller rooms, drying tends to fall toward the shorter end of that range because the extraction pass removes the majority of moisture at source. Factors that influence drying time include carpet thickness and pile depth, room ventilation and ambient humidity. Opening front and rear windows to create a through-draught works well in Longsight’s terraced layouts. Thicker wool pile carpets take slightly longer than polypropylene or nylon, but even heavy-pile Axminster carpets are normally walkable within four hours. We always advise keeping pets and small children off freshly cleaned areas until the carpet is fully dry.

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. The machine then immediately extracts that water along with the dissolved soiling, bacteria and allergens it has lifted. The key is that everything removed from the carpet is taken away in the extraction pass. Steam cleaning, by contrast, applies dry vapour at the surface of the carpet without any extraction mechanism. The vapour loosens surface dirt but does not remove it from the pile, and because there is no extraction, dissolved soiling often settles back into the fibres as the carpet dries. This is why hot water extraction achieves a deeper, longer-lasting clean and faster drying times. 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, which means we are certified under the WoolSafe international quality scheme for wool carpet products and professional operators. Wool is a natural fibre that is sensitive to pH levels – alkaline solutions can cause shrinkage, colour loss and fibre damage. Our Prochem solutions are specifically formulated with low-alkalinity levels safe for wool. We adjust water temperature and extraction pressure to suit wool pile carpets including Axminster and Wilton weaves. The WoolSafe accreditation gives you confidence that the technician cleaning your wool carpet has been trained and assessed to handle it correctly.

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. In Longsight family homes with children or pets, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove the embedded soiling that daily vacuuming misses. Rental properties with frequent tenant turnover benefit from cleaning at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back standards and protect carpet condition. Older Longsight terraces with heavy-pile wool carpets – the type found in many pre-war properties along Kirkmanshulme Lane and surrounding streets – accumulate dust and allergens faster and perform best with an annual deep clean. Newer builds with polypropylene or nylon carpets, such as those on the Grove Village development, can typically go 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.
