Absolutely delighted with the service from Stuart at Cleaning Doctor. He did a fantastic job cleaning our carpets on the stairs and landing β€” they look like new again! Stuart was friendly, professional and took great care throughout. The results were brilliant, and I’d have no hesitation recommending Cleaning Doctor to anyone looking for a really good carpet cleaning service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We booked Stuart to clean our carpet suite & mats and were very satisfied with the work. Stuart arrived early & set up quickly & to say we are delighted is an understatement. Will definitely use him in the future and would have no hesitation recommending him to family & friends. Thank you Stuart for a great mornings work.

Stuart cleaned our sofa- the sofa had been badly stained with dye. I thought it would need to be recovered! The sofa is spotless now. He cleaned our carpets, they look like new. He saved us a fortune, as I was considering buying new carpets! Stuart is so professional and courteous. I’d highly recommend him…

Amazing service. Stuart was early to arrive, set up in no time and done an incredible job transforming our sofa from Drab and dusty to fabulous. Honestly exceeded my expectations, cleaned entire sofa, sides back and top and bottom of cushions. I can't believe how good it looks. πŸ˜€

Stuart came across as being knowledgeable and willing to chare his experitise, giving sound advice. While happy to chat he worked efficiently and quietly, delivering a great result in next a couple of hours. He left 2 rooms looking like new with signs of dog hair and a wine stain pretty well disappearing.

Dry Fusion Technology Fully Trained & Insured Customer Satisfaction Guarantee

We Treat Every Stain Type

Specialist solutions for common household accidents in Derry.

Red Wine & Coffee

Dark tannin stains can be permanent if treated incorrectly. We use specific reducers to lift the colour safely.

Pet Accidents

We treat urine spots to remove both the stain and the odour bacteria, preventing pets from re-marking the area.

Makeup & Cosmetics

Oil-based products like lipstick and foundation require specialist solvents to break down without spreading.

Blood & Bodily Fluids

Protein-based stains need enzyme treatments. We handle these safely and hygienically.

Ink & Paint

Whether it's a dropped pen or a DIY spill, we have solvents designed to dissolve ink and paint pigments.

Food & Grease

Cooking oils and food spills are broken down with high-heat extraction and degreasers.

Don't DIY!

Supermarket stain removers often bleach carpets or set the stain permanently. Call us first for the best chance of success.

Fully Insured

We are fully trained and insured to work on your valuable carpets and furnishings.

Our Process

Science-Based Stain Removal

We identify the fibre and the stain to choose the correct chemical solution.

Stain Identification

1. Identification & Treatment

We first identify the carpet fibre (wool, synthetic, etc.) and the type of stain. We then apply the specific cleaning agent designed for that unique combination.

Fibre Test: Ensures safety
Chemistry: pH balanced solutions
Dwell Time: Breaks down the stain
Stain Extraction

2. Rinse & Extraction

After the treatment has worked, we rinse the area with fresh water extraction equipment. This removes the stain residue and the cleaning chemical, leaving no sticky residue behind.

Thorough Rinse: No chemical residue
Success Check: Inspect results immediately

Warning

DIY cleaners can lock stains in.

Success Rate

Higher if we treat it first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about stain removal.

Can you remove every stain?
While we can remove the vast majority of spots and spills, no cleaner can guarantee 100% removal of every stain. Some substances (like bleach, strong dyes, or old urine) can permanently alter the carpet fibre. We will always inspect and give you an honest assessment before starting.
Does pet urine smell go away?
In most cases we can significantly reduce or completely eliminate pet urine odour using specialist enzyme treatments that break down the uric acid crystals and bacteria causing the smell. However, we always give an honest assessment upfront. If urine has soaked beyond the carpet into the underlay, subfloor, floorboards, skirting boards or other surfaces, it can sometimes be impossible to remove the odour completely. We will always let you know what results we expect to achieve before we begin any work.
Should I use supermarket stain remover?
We strongly advise against it. Many off-the-shelf products contain bleaching agents that can permanently discolour your carpet or "set" the stain, making it impossible for a professional to remove later. Call us first for the best chance of success.
How soon should I call you?
Immediately! The longer a stain sits, the more it bonds with the fibre. Blot (don't rub) any excess liquid with a clean white towel, then call us to arrange a visit.
Can you re-apply stain protection?
Yes. After we have removed the stain and cleaned the area, we highly recommend applying a stain protector (like Scotchgard) to make future spills easier to wipe up before they penetrate the pile.
