Carpet cleaning checklist for South Kensington homes
Every carpet and upholstery cleaning job in South Kensington follows a written, room-by-room checklist, so nothing depends on memory. Before we start, we walk through the property with you or your agent and adjust the list to suit it.
- Inspection: we check the fibre type, test for colour fastness and identify stains.
- Vacuuming: dry soil is removed first with a commercial vacuum.
- Pre-treatment: stains and high-traffic areas are pre-treated with the right product.
- Hot water extraction: the carpet is deep cleaned and the dirty water extracted.
- Grooming: the pile is groomed so it dries evenly and looks its best.
- Drying: most carpets are dry in two to four hours, depending on ventilation.
Carpet and upholstery cleaning for mansion blocks, stucco townhouses and period apartments in South Kensington
Most homes in South Kensington are mansion blocks, stucco townhouses and period apartments, and each type has its own cleaning challenges. Period apartments have high ceilings, cornicing, parquet or marble floors and delicate finishes. We use low-moisture hot water extraction, which suits flats and period floors underneath, with rugs and sofas cleaned on site.
We use pH-neutral products on marble and stone, and arrange porter or concierge access before arriving. From streets near the Natural History Museum and the V&A to the quieter roads around them, our checklist stays the same.
Tips before your carpet cleaning in South Kensington
A little preparation helps your clean go smoothly and makes sure the time is spent where it matters most.
- Ask about pet odour treatment if you have cats or dogs.
- Blot spills straight away with a clean white cloth; never rub, as it spreads the stain.
- Book carpet cleaning with your end of tenancy clean so both are done in one visit.
- Avoid walking on damp carpets in outdoor shoes until they are fully dry.
