Carpets trap dust, allergens and odours that vacuuming alone can't reach. ExpertHome uses hot-water extraction (HWE, the method specified by most carpet manufacturers) with pre-spray, agitation, rinse and a powerful wet-vac recovery — leaving fibres genuinely clean and dry within hours, not days.

- Stair flights (slower per square metre)
- Stain treatment requirements
- Pet odour deodorising

Tough scenarios we handle

- · High-traffic landings on natural-fibre carpets
Equipment & standards
What we use

UK rules we follow
- · Carpet & Rug Institute (CRI) Bronze-standard methods as a minimum

Carpet Cleaning — FAQ
Are you fully insured?

How do I get a quote?
Complete the quote form on this page with a few details about your property and we will email you a tailored quote.
Will my carpets shrink?
Not with HWE done correctly. We control moisture, dwell time and use the right pre-spray for the fibre type — wool, polypropylene, nylon and viscose all need slightly different chemistry.
How long until I can walk on them?
Sock-only after about an hour; full shoes after six. Furniture can be replaced on protector pads after roughly four.
