 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed my mattresses, couch, and carpets cleaned and searched Google Maps for someone local.
After seeing the high review ratings for Cleaning Doctor I made a booking via email. I found John to be an absolute pleasure to do business with. He replied to my emails, arrived on time, was professional, had the right equipment, and took steps to ensure my mattress would be dry for sleeping on that night. I'll definitely be using Cleaning Doctor again. Thanks for the great service and communication John 🙌😊

John provided a professional service from start to finish. He was able to give a quote on the phone, set up the appointment, and then confirmed in advance.

On the day, John was punctual and the cleaning he did was fantastic. The carpet looks like new.

My father is a senior citizen and it’s great for him to have a lovely clean carpet again. We’re very grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had my carpets cleaned by John today. Im amazed at the results. My carpets are like new! There was some very bad areas, from my dogs and especially my daughters room with loads of black dirt marks from slime and mess she plays with. All of these marks and stains are gone and my carpets smell so nice. The service was efficient and very fairly priced. Thanks again, will definitely recommend and will be in touch again in the future.

How We Clean Rugs

Our Professional Systems

We use industry-leading technology to ensure the best results for your specific rug type, whether it's a modern synthetic or a delicate antique.

Recommended for most synthetic and durable wool rugs. Our 8-stage process provides the most thorough clean possible, removing abrasive dirt from deep within the pile.

Deep Cleaning: Removes embedded grit

Fringe Detail: Fringes cleaned by hand

Fast Drying: Use of turbo fans to "Speed" dry

Peace of Mind: Safe for pets and children

A low-moisture system perfect for delicate rugs or when speed is essential. It cleans, deodorises, stain protects, and heat dries rugs all in one process.

Ready in 30 Mins: Clean, dry & ready to use

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our expert rug cleaning services.

How do I arrange a quotation?

We have a few ways we can provide a no obligation quotation. We are happy to arrange a convenient time to call to your property to inspect your rug and will provide you with a quote there and then. Alternatively, you can send us photographs (showing the whole rug and close-ups of stains) via WhatsApp or email.

How long will it be before I can walk on my rug?

With our Dry Fusion system your rugs are usually dry and ready to walk on within an hour, sometimes within 30 minutes. Our hot water extraction system would normally leave rugs damp for about 4 hours on average. We finish by setting the pile to help air circulate around the fibres.

Can you remove all the marks and stains?

When we inspect your rug we will give you an honest opinion as to the likelihood of removing any particular marks or stains. The aim is always to remove 100% of every mark, and we are fully trained in professional spot and stain removal, however in some situations this unfortunately may not be possible. We will give you an honest assessment before starting.

Can you stain protect my rug?

Certainly. If your rug is cleaned using our Dry Fusion, there is a stain protector within the cleaning solutions that is applied as we clean. With our hot water extraction system, we can still apply stain protector after the rug has been cleaned.

Are your solutions child and pet safe?

Our main rug cleaning solutions for both Dry Fusion and hot water extraction systems are both child and pet safe. Occasionally we may use solutions for specific marks (like solvents for gum) that may require caution for about an hour, but we will always inform you if this is needed.

Do you offer discounts?

Yes. The more items you have cleaned, the better rates we can offer. For example, if you are getting your rug cleaned, consider getting your sofa or curtains done at the same time for a cheaper combined price.
