Restore Your Rug’s Freshness and Elegance
Our rug cleaning process is designed to provide a deep clean while preserving the integrity and extending the life of your rug. We use environmentally friendly and fabric-safe cleaning agents, ensuring the safety of your household and the durability of your rug.
Revive Your Rug’s Beauty and Softness
Your rug is a key part of your home, adding warmth, comfort, and style to your space. Over time, dirt, dust, allergens, and stains can dull its appearance and affect indoor air quality. Our professional rug cleaning service removes deep-seated grime and restores vibrant colors and softness. Enjoy a fresh, clean rug that enhances your home’s comfort and creates a healthier living environment.
Pre-Inspection
We begin by inspecting your rug to assess its condition, identify the type of fibres, check for any existing damage, and determine any specific treatment needs. This step helps us choose the most appropriate cleaning method.
Cleaning
We use a method suitable for the rug’s fibres, typically either hot water extraction or dry cleaning. Hot water extraction involves injecting hot water and cleaning solutions into the rug and then extracting them, which cleans deep within the fibres. Dry cleaning is used for more delicate rugs and involves using minimal moisture to prevent damage.
Dust Removal
Before the wet cleaning process begins, we remove dust and particulate matter from the rug. This is typically done with a high-grade vacuum or a specialised beating process, which ensures that the rug is free from loose dirt and debris that can affect the quality of the cleaning
Rinse and Extraction
The rug is thoroughly rinsed to remove any residue of the cleaning solution, which prevents re-soiling and helps maintain its texture and colour.
Pre-Treatment
Depending on the rug’s material and the type of stains present, we apply a pre-treatment solution that helps to break down the stains and prepare them for removal during the cleaning process.
Drying
Proper drying is crucial to prevent mould and mildew. We use professional drying techniques, which may include air movers, dehumidifiers, or a controlled drying environment, depending on the rug's specific requirements.

How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?As a general rule, it's advisable to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year. However, the specific frequency can vary based on several factors, including the amount of foot traffic, whether you have children or pets, and whether any household members have allergies. For households with pets or children, I recommend having your carpets cleaned every six months to maintain a clean and healthy environment. In homes with less traffic or no specific concerns like allergies or pets, a professional cleaning every 12 to 18 months should suffice. Regular professional cleaning not only keeps your carpets looking their best but also extends their lifespan by removing embedded dirt and debris that can damage the carpet fibres over time.

Is it necessary to move furniture before the cleaning process?Yes, it is generally necessary to move furniture before the cleaning process to ensure a thorough cleaning. At Refresh and Revive, we ask that you remove small items and personal belongings from the areas to be cleaned beforehand. For larger items such as sofas, tables, and chairs, our team will assist in safely moving them to access the entire carpeted area. However, we do recommend that any very heavy or fragile items, such as pianos, large cabinets, and antique furniture, be moved ahead of our visit if possible. This helps to prevent any risk of damage during the cleaning process and ensures that we can clean the carpet comprehensively. If moving furniture is a concern for you, please let us know when booking your cleaning. We can discuss arrangements and provide specific advice or assistance to prepare your space for cleaning effectively and safely. Our goal is to make the carpet cleaning process as convenient and hassle-free for you as possible.

How long does the carpet cleaning process take?The duration of the carpet cleaning process can vary depending on a few factors, such as the size of the area being cleaned, the condition of the carpets, and the specific cleaning method used. Typically, for an average-sized room (about 20 square metres), the cleaning process can take approximately 20 to 30 minutes. However, if the carpets are heavily soiled or require special treatments, such as stain removal or the application of protective treatments, the process may take longer. Additionally, it's essential to factor in drying time, which can vary depending on the ventilation and humidity levels but generally ranges from a few hours up to 24 hours for carpets to fully dry. At Refresh and Revive, we strive to ensure the process is as efficient and least disruptive as possible. We'll give you a more accurate time estimate when you book your service based on the specifics of your job. If you have a tight schedule, let us know, and we'll do our best to accommodate your needs.

Can your carpet cleaning service help with allergies and respiratory issues?Yes, our carpet cleaning service at Refresh and Revive can significantly help with allergies and respiratory issues. Carpets can trap allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other particulates that can contribute to allergic reactions and respiratory problems. Our cleaning process effectively removes these allergens from your carpets, improving the air quality in your home. We use a hot water extraction method, commonly referred to as steam cleaning, which deeply penetrates carpet fibres to remove dirt and allergens. This method not only cleans the surface of the carpet but also extracts the allergens that have settled deep within the carpet, making it particularly effective for homes with allergy sufferers. Furthermore, we ensure that our cleaning products are hypoallergenic and free from harsh chemicals, which is essential for those with sensitivities and respiratory issues. Regular professional cleaning, recommended at least once a year or more frequently, depending on your circumstances, can make a significant difference in maintaining a healthier indoor environment. If anyone in your home suffers from allergies or respiratory conditions, please let us know, and we can tailor our service to meet your specific needs, ensuring a safer and more comfortable home environment.
