We understand the temptation to try and grab a bargain. What is the best way to get it done quickly?
How can we make this last an extra couple of years?Well think again before applying this quick fix attitude to your carpets and upholstery as you can often be left with more damage to deal with. Unfortunately, there are companies out there who will give you bad advice on how best to tackle stained and marked carpet pr upholstery fibres. At 4CityClean we know that as one of the biggest purchases in your home, your carpets are a long term investment and they need to be looked after.
Companies or magazines will encourage you to hire out home cleaning machines that soak your carpets through, but they don’t actually tackle stubborn stains and they often leave you with an even bigger problem than when you started. The problem with these machines start with the size. The reason professional carpet cleaning equipment is big, is so it can house a substantial pump to extract the water from your fibres. A powerful pump extracts the water and cleaning solutions from your carpet. Because of this your carpets will be rinsed and will dry properly and will therefore be more resistant to re-soiling. The machines you can hire from your local supermarket or shopping centres, simply do not have the power necessary for this level of extraction and will leave sticky soap suds in your carpet that will attract dirt as soon as they are dry.
Here at 4CityClean we want to make customers for life, which is why many of our customers come back to us time and time again and even more of our customers recommend us to friends and family. These ‘quick fix’ cowboy cleaning companies are often out to make a fast buck, which means they have no worries about leaving you and your family in a bad situation.

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
