Why Quick Fixes Don’t Work: Invest in Proper Carpet Cleaning
We understand the temptation to grab a bargain when it comes to household maintenance. But when it comes to your carpets and upholstery, it’s important to think twice before applying a quick fix solution. Unfortunately, there are companies that will give you bad advice on how to tackle stains and marks on your carpet or upholstery. At 4CityClean, we know that carpets are a long-term investment, and proper carpet cleaning is essential to protect that investment.
Many companies or magazines will suggest hiring home cleaning machines, but these often soak your carpets without properly addressing stubborn stains. Worse, they can leave your carpets in worse condition than before. The issue with these DIY machines is their size and power. Professional carpet cleaning equipment is designed to be larger to accommodate a powerful pump that effectively extracts water and cleaning solutions from your carpet fibers. This ensures that your carpets are thoroughly rinsed, dried, and become more resistant to re-soiling.
On the other hand, the machines you can hire from supermarkets or shopping centers simply don’t have the power needed for this deep level of extraction. They often leave sticky soap residues behind, which attract dirt as soon as the carpets dry. That’s why professional carpet cleaning is crucial for maintaining the appearance and longevity of your carpets.
Our Expert Carpet Cleaning Process
At 4CityClean, we take pride in offering high-quality carpet cleaning services that leave your carpets looking their best. Here’s a quick guide to our carpet cleaning process:
- Thorough vacuuming of the carpet to remove loose debris and grit.
- Pre-spray and brushing of any stains that sit on the surface of the carpet fibers.
- If necessary, we can pre-treat the entire carpet for heavily marked areas.
- We rinse the carpet with biodegradable cleaning solutions mixed with water, followed by immediate extraction of the dirt.
This process ensures that your carpet is not only clean but also dried to the touch. Our top-of-the-line carpet cleaning machines extract water immediately, preventing excess moisture from soaking through the carpet and reducing the risk of re-soiling.

Frequently asked questions
It is recommended to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year. However, this can vary depending on factors such as foot traffic, pets, children, and whether anyone in the home has allergies. High-traffic areas may require cleaning every 6 months, while less frequently used rooms might only need it every 18 months.
The most common method used by professional carpet cleaners in the UK is hot water extraction, often referred to as steam cleaning. This method involves injecting hot water and cleaning agents into the carpet at high pressure and then extracting the water along with dirt and allergens. This method is highly effective at deep cleaning carpets and is suitable for most types of carpets.
The drying time can vary based on the method used, the type of carpet, and environmental conditions such as humidity and temperature. On average, carpets cleaned through hot water extraction can take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours to dry completely. However, some cleaners may use powerful fans to speed up the drying process, reducing this time to 2 hours or less.
While professional carpet cleaners can remove most stains, the success rate can depend on the type of stain, how long it’s been there, and the carpet’s material. Some substances, like wine, coffee, and pet stains, can be particularly challenging. Pre-treatment with specialised solutions can improve the chances of removing tough stains, but it’s important to manage expectations as not all stains can be completely eliminated.
Yes, professional carpet cleaning is safe for both children and pets. Most reputable companies in the UK use eco-friendly and non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for your family and the environment. It’s advisable to discuss any specific allergies or concerns with your cleaning service provider ahead of time to ensure they take the necessary precautions
