What Our Customers Say About South West Cleaners
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do you clean rugs, and what is your process?
A: Our rug cleaning process is comprehensive yet gentle. First, we inspect the rug’s material and condition. We then power-vacuum to remove loose dust and dirt. Next comes stain pre-treatment for any visible marks. The main cleaning method we use is hot water extraction (steam cleaning), where hot water and a safe cleaning solution are injected into the rug’s fibers and immediately extracted.
This pulls out dirt, allergens, and stains from deep within the pile. If a rug is very delicate or labelled “dry clean only, ” we can use a low-moisture or dry cleaning technique instead to ensure no damage. Finally, we deodorise the rug and groom its pile so it dries evenly. The result is a fresh, clean rug that looks revitalised.
Q: Are your cleaning methods and products safe for my rug and my family (kids & pets)?
A: Yes, absolutely. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for children, pets, and allergy sufferers. Our methods are designed to be gentle on rug fibers while still removing dirt and germs. We’re careful to adjust our cleaning approach to the rug’s material (wool, silk, synthetic, etc.), so we never use anything that could cause damage like shrinkage or colour bleeding.
Plus, our process leaves no harsh chemical residues – just a clean rug. You can have peace of mind knowing your home remains safe and healthy after we finish. (And of course, we are fully insured, so you’re protected every step of the way.)
Q: Can you remove pet stains and odours from my rug?
A: Yes! Pet accidents and the odours they cause are no match for our rug cleaning service. We use special enzymatic cleaners and deodorisers that break down urine crystals and eliminate odours at the source, rather than just masking them. Whether it’s dog urine on a wool rug or a cat’s “incident” on a shag pile, we’ll treat the affected areas and thoroughly deep clean the rug.
In most cases, we can remove or significantly reduce pet stains, urine smells, and even pet hair that’s woven into the fibers. After cleaning, your rug will smell fresh and have no unpleasant reminders of the accident. (For very severe or older stains, we’ll do our best and discuss realistic expectations with you – but we have a great success rate with pet-related issues.)
Q: How long does it take for my rug to dry after cleaning?
A: Typically, a rug will be dry to the touch within 2–4 hours after we’ve cleaned it. Drying time can vary based on the rug’s thickness, material, and the ventilation in your room. Thin or synthetic-fiber rugs dry on the quicker end (sometimes even in 1-2 hours), while thick wool rugs or high-pile rugs might take closer to 4-6 hours to fully dry. We ensure as much water as possible is extracted during cleaning to speed this up.
You can help it dry faster by opening windows, turning on a fan, or we can leave an air mover if needed. Rest assured, we won’t leave you with a soaking rug – our fast-dry system means no risk of mould or mildew. By the same evening, your rug will be clean, dry, and ready to enjoy!
Q: How often should I have my rug professionally cleaned?
A: For most rugs, we recommend a professional clean once every 12–18 months to keep them in top condition. However, it depends on usage. If your rug is in a high- traffic area, like a hallway or living room, or if you have pets and young children, an annual cleaning (or even every 6–12 months) is beneficial. This prevents excessive dirt buildup and wear.
For rugs in lower-traffic areas or rooms you seldom use, cleaning every 1.5 to 2 years may suffice. Regular cleaning not only keeps your rugs looking great but also helps them last longer by removing abrasive dirt. And remember, if an unexpected spill or pet accident happens, you don’t need to wait – call us right away for a spot clean or emergency rug
cleaning. We’re here to help whenever your rug needs some TLC!
Q: How much does rug cleaning cost?
A: The cost of rug cleaning depends on a few factors, mainly the size of the rug, the material/type of rug, and its condition (how dirty or stained it is). We provide free quotes so you’ll know the price upfront. For example, a small area rug might cost around our minimum charge of £55, whereas larger or very soiled rugs will be more. We can often give you a price range over the phone, and we’ll confirm the exact quote once we inspect the rug in person (before we start any work).
There are no obligations – you can decide whether to proceed. Keep in mind we include all detergents and labour in the quote, so there are no hidden fees. And if you’re combining services (say, rug + carpet cleaning), we’ll apply a discount. Our goal is to offer top-notch service at a fair, competitive price.
