Carpet cleaning prices in Salford start from £26 for a small room or study, £34 for a standard bedroom, £47 for a dining room and £55 for a through lounge. Hallways start from £20, landings are £10, and a standard 13-step staircase is £37 (or £5 per individual step).

A minimum call-out charge of £67 applies to every booking – this covers one technician, professional equipment setup and at least one room cleaned. Your exact quote is confirmed before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect.

Most carpets are dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction cleaning. Drying time depends on several factors including ventilation, carpet thickness, pile depth and ambient humidity. Salford properties near the Irwell and the Quays waterfront can experience slightly higher indoor humidity, so opening windows at both ends of a terrace or switching on any mechanical ventilation in newer apartments helps speed the process. Thicker wool carpets with deep pile will naturally take longer than low-profile polypropylene. We always groom the pile after cleaning and give specific drying advice tailored to your property before we leave.

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 (HWE), which is a fundamentally different process to steam cleaning. Hot water extraction works by injecting hot water combined with Prochem cleaning solution under controlled pressure deep into the carpet pile. A powerful vacuum head then immediately extracts the water along with all dissolved soiling, bacteria, allergens and cleaning residue in a single pass. Steam cleaning, by contrast, applies dry vapour at the carpet surface only. Because there is no extraction stage, loosened dirt and moisture remain trapped within the pile, often leading to longer drying times, sticky residue and re-soiling. Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets all specifically recommend hot water extraction over steam cleaning because it achieves a deeper, more thorough clean while protecting carpet construction and colour integrity.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, which means our technicians, equipment and solutions meet the standards of the WoolSafe Organisation – the international quality scheme for wool carpet products and approved service providers. Wool is a natural fibre that is pH-sensitive, so it requires low-alkalinity cleaning solutions to avoid fibre damage, colour bleeding or shrinkage. The Prochem solutions we use are specifically formulated to clean wool safely within the correct pH range. Whether you have a wool Axminster, a Wilton weave or a wool-blend twist pile, we select the right solution concentration and water temperature for your specific carpet.

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. For Salford family homes with children or pets, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months to prevent soil build-up from becoming permanent. Rental properties with high tenant turnover benefit from a clean at the end of each tenancy to maintain deposit-back condition and protect the landlord’s investment. Older Salford terraces fitted with heavy pile wool carpets – common across Seedley, Langworthy and Pendleton – collect fine particulate soil that regular vacuuming cannot fully remove, so annual cleaning keeps these carpets in the best condition. Newer builds with polypropylene or nylon fibre carpets can often go 18-24 months between professional cleans, as synthetic fibres resist staining more effectively.

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.
