Carpet cleaning in Putney
Carpet and sofa cleaning for Putney homes where small children and pets live. Most rooms are fine for socks after about three hours, so the playroom is back in use by teatime.
- Price agreed on the phone before we start

The usual jobs in a Putney house
- Bedrooms £36
Rooms and the hall
Hot water extraction lifts juice drips and the grey patch where the dog lies. The hall gets extra passes, because that is where the winter mud ends up.
Bedrooms £36 - Stairs £41 a flight
Stairs and the landing
Done tread by tread with a hand tool, nosings included, since that is where school shoes scuff. A landing is £9 on top of a flight.
Stairs £41 a flight - Rugs from £35
Rugs
Cleaned flat on a groundsheet in your house once the dyes have been tested. Wool playroom rugs come up well; viscose needs a lighter touch.
Rugs from £35 - Two-seater £57
Sofas and armchairs
Crumbs, sticky hands and pet hair out of the fabric, at low pressure so the cushions stay only damp. We read the fabric code before anything gets wet.
Two-seater £57
Prices per room
Each room has a fixed price and you hear the total on the phone before we book you in. A bedroom is £36 and a living room £43; the sofa and the children's mattresses can go on the same visit.

Around Putney
Each of these has its own page, with the access and parking details we plan a visit around.
Putney, from the river up to the Heath
A lot of Putney flats are the top half of a split Victorian terrace off Upper Richmond Road, two floors up a narrow original staircase with no lift. We work round whatever lives in the hall, the buggy included, and keep a path clear to the front door. Around the station and the High Street the bays are controlled, and if a long job needs a suspended bay or a pay-by-phone slot we book it ahead and pass it on at cost.
Dog walks on the towpath and Lower Common bring Thames silt indoors. From about October to March it dries into a grey bloom on hall carpets and the bottom few stairs, and it wants a proper pre-spray. The water here is hard, so our rinse is conditioned; skip that and pale wool can dry with a faint chalky film.
Underfloor heating is common in the newer riverside flats by the Embankment and at Putney Wharf. Please turn it down the evening before, as a carpet drying over a warm floor dries patchily and the backing can shrink. Boat Race day closes the Embankment and the bridge approaches, so we keep it free of riverside bookings. The six neighbourhoods we visit most are on the areas page.
