A minimum call-out charge of £67 applies, which covers one technician, professional-grade Prochem equipment and cleaning solutions for a single visit. We provide a confirmed quote before any work begins, so you always know exactly what to expect.

Most carpets are dry within 2-4 hours of cleaning. In Rochdale, where many properties are stone-built terraces with smaller windows and less natural airflow, drying can occasionally take a little longer during damp winter months. Several factors influence drying time including ventilation, carpet thickness, pile depth and ambient humidity. We recommend opening windows and internal doors where possible after cleaning. Turning on central heating at a low setting can also help. Thicker wool pile carpets retain more moisture than thinner polypropylene, so we adjust extraction pressure accordingly to ensure no excess water remains in the fibre.

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 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 residue. The extraction phase is critical – it physically removes the soiling from the carpet. Steam cleaning, by contrast, uses dry vapour applied at the carpet surface only. There is no injection into the pile and no extraction of dissolved dirt. The vapour loosens surface-level soiling but cannot reach deep-set contamination and leaves it behind. This is why major UK carpet manufacturers including Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets recommend hot water extraction as the preferred cleaning method. HWE also achieves faster drying because the extraction pass removes the vast majority of moisture during the clean itself.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, which means we are recognised under the international WoolSafe 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, excessive heat or aggressive agitation. Our Prochem solutions are specifically formulated with low-alkalinity levels suitable for wool, and we adjust water temperature and extraction pressure to protect the fibre. Whether you have a wool Axminster, Wilton or a wool-blend carpet, our technicians follow WoolSafe-approved methods at every stage.

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. Family homes in Rochdale with children or pets benefit from professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove embedded allergens, pet hair and everyday soiling. Rental properties with higher tenant turnover should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back condition and protect the carpet’s lifespan. Older Rochdale housing with heavy-pile wool carpets – common in terraces around the town centre and Spotland – benefits from annual cleaning, as wool traps more particulate matter in its dense fibres. Newer-build properties fitted with polypropylene carpets along the Kingsway development 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.
