Why Great Choice for your carpet cleaning?
Cleaned by the owner
Paul has cleaned carpets since 2004 and does every clean himself. No subcontractors, no trainees.
Powerful machines
In most homes we use our van-mounted system, far more powerful than portable units, for a deeper clean and drier carpets.
Honest pricing
Clear price agreed before we start, with no nasty surprises. Not happy? We'll come back free within 7 days.
Local and reliable
We turn up when we say. If we're running more than 15 minutes early or late, we'll let you know.
Your home is in good hands
Inviting someone into your home is about more than clean carpets. You want someone reliable, careful and honest. That’s how we’ve worked since 2004.
Honest advice about stains
We always aim for the best possible result, but some stains, discolouration and wear can’t be fully removed. We’ll tell you honestly what to expect before we start. No exaggerated promises.
The price we agree is the price you pay
You’ll know the price before any work begins. No cheap headline price followed by doorstep upsells. If anything needs changing, we’ll talk it through and agree it with you first.
Care and respect for your home
We treat your home as we would our own: careful with your furniture, flooring and belongings, and we leave everything tidy. We move small, easily handled items; larger furniture is normally cleaned around.
Children, pets and products
We choose professional products to suit your carpets and rinse thoroughly, so no sticky residue is left to attract dirt. We’ll tell you when children and pets can use the room again.
Drying and disruption
Nobody wants soaking wet carpets. Powerful extraction removes most of the moisture, and we’ll explain how long drying should take and how you can help it along.
On time and fully insured
If we’re running more than 15 minutes early or late, we’ll let you know. And you’re covered by our £5m public liability insurance.

Carpet cleaning FAQs
What must I consider after the clean?
We'll give you a sheet on the day, but in short:
Mind your step. If you must walk on damp carpets, take care stepping onto smooth floors such as laminate or stone.
Wood and metal. Don't put anything wooden or metal back on the carpet until it's totally dry (plastic is fine). Wood can leave dye stains and metal can rust.
Air the room. Open windows and doors. Radiators on are fine if doors are left open. Otherwise you may notice a damp smell, which goes once the room is aired.
Wool carpets can smell of wet hair straight after a clean. That's exactly what they're made of! Opening the windows clears it quickly.
How long will the carpets take to dry?
We aim for 4–6 hours. On a warm, breezy day it may be just an hour or two, or a little longer depending on how much work the carpets needed and what fibre they are.
Will the stains come back?
Most won't. Occasionally a spill that soaked deep into the backing can slowly wick back up as the carpet dries. If that happens within 7 days, tell us and we'll come back and treat it free.
Some old stains have permanently changed the colour of the fibres. If we think that's the case, we'll tell you honestly on the day.
Do I need to move my furniture?
We move small, easily handled items such as chairs, side tables and lamps. Larger pieces like beds, wardrobes and big sofas are normally cleaned around. It helps if ornaments, toys and anything fragile are off the floor before we arrive.
Will my carpets get dirty faster after cleaning?
Not after a proper clean. Cheap cleans can leave sticky detergent in the fibres, which attracts dirt. We rinse thoroughly so nothing is left behind to make them re-soil faster.
What do you need from me?
Very little. In most homes our van-mounted system needs nothing from you apart from access and somewhere to park near the property. Where the hoses can't reach (some flats, for example) we use a portable machine, which needs hot water and electricity.
How long will upholstery take to dry?
Upholstery is full of absorbent filling, so in normal weather it can take 16–24 hours to dry fully. In summer, with good weather and airflow, it's more like 6–12 hours, which is why we recommend upholstery cleaning in the warmer months.
Hot water extraction or dry cleaning?
Hot water extraction is our deepest clean, for heavily soiled, stained or tired carpets. It removes deeply embedded dirt while extracting most of the moisture, so carpets are usually dry within a few hours.
Dry powder cleaning is a low-moisture option for lightly soiled carpets and routine maintenance. A specialist powder is worked into the fibres, absorbs the dirt, then is vacuumed away.
For heavily soiled carpets, hot water extraction is the better choice.
What if I'm not happy with the clean?
If you're not happy with any area we cleaned, tell us within 7 days and we'll come back and re-clean it free.
Do you clean sofas, chairs and mattresses?
Yes. We clean sofas, armchairs, dining chairs and mattresses. Add them in the instant price calculator or see our upholstery cleaning page.
Do you work for landlords and letting agents?
Yes. We clean for landlords and local letting agents, including end-of-tenancy cleans, and we can invoice the agent directly. We also supply and fit new carpets, vinyl and LVT for rental properties.
Areas we cover: Poole, Bournemouth, Ringwood, Blandford, Wareham and surrounding areas. More questions? See all our FAQs.
