Multi-room bookings are priced individually and quoted as a total before the technician begins any work.

Most carpets in Prestwich dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction cleaning. Drying time varies depending on ventilation, carpet thickness, pile depth and humidity. Thicker wool carpets in older Prestwich terraces may take closer to the four-hour mark, while thinner polypropylene carpets in newer properties typically dry faster. Opening windows and internal doors helps circulate air and speed drying. In cooler months, keeping the central heating on a low setting assists evaporation. We provide specific drying advice tailored to your property type after every clean.

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, not steam cleaning – and the distinction matters. Hot water extraction injects hot water and Prochem cleaning solution under pressure deep into the carpet pile, then immediately extracts it along with dissolved dirt, bacteria, allergens and cleaning residue. The carpet is cleaned from the base of the fibre upwards. Steam cleaning applies dry vapour at the surface only, without injection into the pile or extraction of soiling. It cannot remove dirt trapped deep in carpet fibres. Hot water extraction achieves deeper cleaning and faster drying because moisture and contaminants are actively removed rather than left to evaporate. Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets all recommend hot water extraction as the preferred professional cleaning method.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, meaning our technicians are recognised under the international WoolSafe quality scheme for wool carpet products and operators. Wool is pH-sensitive and requires low-alkalinity cleaning solutions to prevent fibre damage, colour bleeding or shrinkage. Our Prochem Europe solutions are specifically formulated for safe use on wool carpets, including wool Axminster and Wilton. We assess every wool carpet individually before cleaning to confirm fibre composition, dye stability and the safest treatment method.

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 recommended frequency depends on your household and property type. For Prestwich family homes with children or pets, professional cleaning every 12-18 months keeps carpets hygienic and extends their lifespan. Rental properties with high tenant turnover should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back standards. Older Prestwich housing with heavy-pile wool carpets benefits from annual cleaning to prevent soiling from becoming permanently embedded. Newer builds around the M25 area fitted with polypropylene carpets can typically stretch to every 18-24 months under normal household use.

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.
