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

There are no hidden fees and no additional charges on the day. A minimum call-out charge of £67 applies to every booking – this covers travel, setup and the cleaning of your first room. Every quote is confirmed before any work begins so you know exactly what you will pay.

Most carpets are fully dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction cleaning. Drying time varies depending on ventilation, carpet thickness, pile depth and ambient humidity. Westwood’s terraced properties sit on elevated ground exposed to Pennine moisture, so indoor humidity can be higher than average – particularly in autumn and winter. Opening windows and internal doors speeds drying considerably, even in the smaller rooms typical of Victorian terraces. Thicker wool pile carpets retain more moisture than polypropylene or nylon and may take closer to the 4-hour mark. We always advise keeping foot traffic to a minimum until the carpet feels completely dry to the touch.

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 dissolved dirt, bacteria, allergens and cleaning residue in a single pass. Steam cleaning, on the other hand, uses dry vapour applied at the carpet surface only. The vapour does not penetrate the pile and there is no extraction step to remove dissolved soiling. This means steam cleaning cannot reach embedded dirt and leaves more moisture sitting in the carpet. It is precisely because hot water extraction combines deep penetration with immediate extraction that carpet manufacturers including Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets recommend it as the preferred professional cleaning method. The extraction process also accounts for the faster drying time – typically 2-4 hours compared to significantly longer for steam-cleaned carpets.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, which means we meet the standards of the WoolSafe Organisation – an international quality scheme established to certify products and operators that are safe for use on wool carpets and rugs. Wool is a natural fibre that is sensitive to pH levels, heat and agitation. It requires low-alkalinity cleaning solutions and carefully controlled water temperatures to avoid shrinkage, colour bleed or fibre damage. Our Prochem cleaning solutions are specifically formulated to fall within the safe pH range for wool, and our technicians adjust extraction pressure and water temperature for every wool carpet they clean.

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 how the property is used and the type of carpet installed. For family homes in Westwood with children or pets, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove the embedded dirt, allergens and bacteria that regular vacuuming cannot reach. Rental properties with high tenant turnover – common in the terraced streets around Featherstall Road and the Dew Way estate – should be cleaned at the end of each tenancy to meet deposit-back standards. Older Westwood housing with heavy pile wool carpets benefits from annual cleaning to maintain the fibre condition and prevent premature wear. Newer builds with polypropylene or synthetic carpets can typically be stretched to every 18-24 months, though high-traffic areas may need attention sooner.

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.
