 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Martin was fantastic. He explained everything to be done on our phone call and outlined the price. When he came he was quick, effecient and so tidy and I'm amazed at the results my suite of furniture looks brand new and I didn't even know there was such gorgeous colours in the carpet. He took time to explain how to let everything dry properly. I have already recommended him and he's only gone a few hours.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had our Carpet cleaned by Martin yesterday, stairs & landing carpet. When I rang Martin to ask for a quote, he spent time asking about the carpet, and were there any stains, what type of carpet we had and he explained what he would use to try to remove the stains. We had stains & a smell on the landing carpet, from our dog who had wet there many times. I had cleaned it many times with several cleaning products, but a stubborn stain & smell remained.
Martin was successful in cleaning our carpet yesterday. The stain & smell are gone. He was very pleasant to deal with & I felt he was very reasonable. I would recommend him if you need your carpet cleaned.
Thank you Martin

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Could not recommend highly enough! Our carpets and furniture had never been professionally cleaned before and I genuinely thought some of the marks would never come out. I was shocked by the results – everything looks fresh, clean and almost like new again.

The difference in both the carpets and couches/chairs is unbelievable. Friendly, professional service and excellent attention to detail. Money very well spent and we’ll definitely be using them again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got a quote for a new carpet for my teenage son's bedroom for almost €800 and decided to try clean it professionally first. Martin got back to me very quickly with a very reasonable quote (€60) and came that same week. Cannot believe the results! There were stains that I didn't think would come out but they are all gone. It's like a new carpet for a fraction of the price! Extremely impressed. Thank you Martin

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.
