Carpets and rugs add warmth, comfort and style to any home or office. However, they also accumulate dust, dirt, stains and allergens over time. To keep your rugs and carpets looking fresh and extending their lifespan, it’s important to have them professionally cleaned on a regular basis. Read on for our top rug and carpet cleaning tips as well as average pricing of rug cleaning in London.

Assessment – What Method of Cleaning Does Your Rug or Carpet Need?

Not all carpets and rugs require the same cleaning method. At Vip Carpet Cleaning London, our technicians will assess the fiber, construction, dyes and current condition of your flooring to determine the best cleaning approach:

• Light cleaning for high-traffic areas or to refresh the carpeting
• Deep steam cleaning for heavily soiled carpets
• Specialty stain removal
• Deodorizing treatments
• Disinfectants

On average, most standard-sized carpeted rooms require a standard steam clean every 12 to 18 months. However, high-traffic commercial spaces may need cleaning quarterly or even monthly.

Professional Carpet & Rug Cleaning Prices

Like real estate, carpet and rug cleaning prices depend greatly on location, size, condition and method required. Here are the average rug cleaning prices our London clients pay:

Carpet & Rug Cleaning Tips

Here are Vip Carpet Cleaning London’s top carpet care tips to keep your flooring looking fresh between professional cleanings:

Daily Tips

• Vacuum high-traffic areas daily using a brush roll on carpeting to pick up surface debris.
• Blot spills immediately with a dry white cloth. Avoid rubbing.
• Discourage pets from areas with light carpeting and rugs.

Weekly Tips

• Vacuum entire carpeting weekly to prevent dirt buildup.
• Inspect carpeting and rugs for new stains weekly. Have new stains removed promptly by professionals.
• Shake out area rugs outdoors or use a vacuum with a beater bar.

Seasonal Tips

• Deep clean carpeting at least once every 12 to 18 months with hot water extraction.
• Consider more frequent professional cleaning for homes with pets and kids.
• Clean rugs at a professional plant annually and store properly over summer.
• With regular care and professional cleaning services, you can add years of life to your rug and carpet investment.

Why Professional Carpet Cleaning?

While renting a DIY cleaner may seem like a cost-saving option, consider the value of hiring a professional carpet cleaning company:

• We use commercial-grade equipment far more powerful than rental units. Our hot water extraction systems can reach temperatures up to 210°F with pressure of 100 psi to dissolve and lift deep dirt.
• Our techs have extensive training and experience for optimal results without overwetting or damaging fibers.
• We use green certified cleaning agents that are safe for kids and pets once dried.
• We remove all furniture moving at no extra cost and replace it once finished.
• Our powerful systems allow carpets to dry within just 1 to 2 hours so you can resume operations quickly.

When done improperly at home, carpet cleaning can allow mold development underneath and accelerate re-soiling. Avoid the hassles and hazards – trust the certified experts at Vip Carpet Cleaning London to refresh your carpets and rugs.

Choosing a Carpet Cleaning Company

With so many carpet cleaning companies to choose from, it can be tricky deciding which one to trust with your expensive rug and carpet investment. Here are top tips for choosing a qualified cleaning provider:

• Check reviews sites and ask for references to verify quality of work.
• Confirm the company uses commercial-grade hot water extraction equipment and advanced cleaning agents. Steam machines available for rental at local home improvement stores don’t offer the same results.
• Ask about their hiring process. Reputable companies carefully vet hires, verify legal right to work, confirm backgrounds/ref check, and have extensive training programs.
• Make sure technicians arrive in a clearly marked company vehicle stocked with state-of-the-art cleaning gear, not a personal car with home vacuums.
• Request an exact all-inclusive price quote rather than ballpark estimates so there are no surprises.
• Opt for IICRC certified cleaners to ensure proper techniques safe for families.

Environmentally-Friendly Green Cleaning Services

Today’s consumers rightly have concerns over exposure to harsh chemicals in their homes and offices. That’s why leading carpet cleaning companies like Vip Carpet Cleaning London use 100% green certified solutions that are:

• Non-toxic and hypoallergenic
• Safe for babies and pets once dry
• Made from sustainable plant-based ingredients
• Biodegradable without harming ecosystems
• Free of bleaches, dyes, optical brighteners, VOCs or phosphates
• Granted the EU Ecolabel and other independent “green” certifications

This allows us to effectively remove soils without residues or added hazards inside the home or workplace.
