Get Rid Of That Dirt, With Doctor Carpet
There are several reasons as to why Doctor Carpet has the ability to lengthen the life of your carpet. Over time, dirt and dust become embedded within the fibre and, despite whether or not it is overly noticeable, the primary issue is that the dirt is abrasive and will gradually erode the fabric of the carpet. We eliminate these corrosive substances and leave your carpets revitalized. On top of that, our professional carpet cleaning methods can actually help protect against future staining. The outcome is that your carpets are in a better condition for a longer length of time.
In addition to these factors, having your carpets cleaned is actually beneficial for your health as it rids the fabric of the pollutants which have settled there and that, in consequence, circulate in the air after walking on the fabric. Therefore, Doctor Carpet can be instrumental in keeping you, as well as your carpets, healthier.
is professionally named ‘Hot Water Extraction’. It provides a much deeper clean than other techniques as it swills out the fibre from the depth of the pile up. Alternatively, a ‘Low Moisture’ approach to cleaning is used, which cleans only the top 10% of fibres and is thus more suitable as a general maintenance clean. The method we choose to use to clean your carpet will depend on a variety of factors, such as:
It is important to be wary of the dangers in attempting to tackle the problem yourself as uninformed decisions on how to remove soiling can result in a permanent ‘locking-in’ of the stain. If you call Doctor Carpet we will discuss the

Sadly, it is not always possible to remove a stain. There are many reasons for this, depending on a variety of factors, and Doctor Carpet will be able to explain why if such a situation arises. However, in the rare event that we are unable to completely do away with a mark, we will more than likely be able to assist in dramatically reducing it.
Leather is essentially skin and as such it is important to treat it like skin. Fundamentally, this means making sure that it is moisturised. The use of a damp cloth will suffice in some cases, but it will not be effective in dislodging soiling that has become engrained into the leather and has left the material discoloured and damaged.

Clients rely on Doctor Carpet for
in a variety of circumstances. Often it is a general clean for sofas and armchairs in homes, offices or restaurants, or to enable upholstered furniture to appear in peak condition after having bought it or when selling it on.
When you call Doctor Carpet, we will ask you everything we need to know about the furniture you would like cleaned in order for us to work out the best method for cleaning it. It is customary for us to dry the upholstery off during the cleaning process in order that the furniture can be used again quickly, although this stage can be omitted if you are working to a smaller budget.
Anti-staining treatments shield the carpet fibres and help to protect against spillages and stains. If you were to look at a carpet under a microscope, you would observe that it consists of very rough fibres; general dirt and grime cling to these fibres and become entrenched within them. However, the application of stain protection treatments provides a protective barrier that works to prevent the adhesion of soiling, thus reducing the infiltration of dirt into carpets and resulting in a cleaner carpet for a much longer length of time.

There are certain ways in which you can help prevent your carpets from getting dirty quickly. Ensure you vacuum carpets regularly and even more frequently in the areas of the house that are most commonly used, such as halls, stairs and living rooms. Generally speaking, upright vacuums with a ‘beater’ bar are most efficient. Always bear in mind that the most effective part of vacuuming is done on the pull-back. Don’t forget to empty the vacuum cleaner regularly, before it gets too full, to ensure that the vacuum can do its job properly. In addition, you may wish to invest in good quality doormats or barrier mats and a shoe scraper for just outside your exterior doors.
If you are willing to tackle the problem yourself, please consult the basic stain removal guidelines outlined below for our professional advice. These instructions are likely to prevent any long-term damage to your carpet, although it is important to acknowledge that they cannot guarantee a complete removal of the stain. These techniques are more likely to ensure that the stain is not ‘locked in’, which would make it more difficult for Doctor Carpet to remove.
