 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alastair has surprised us and himself.  After examining our stained sofa he warned us that he did not expect a good result due to the type of stain.  He worked away at it and left it to dry out over 24 hours.   The result - a sofa as good as new.
Well done Alastair.   You are a good Irishman  - polite and respectful - you have given us excellent service.  Thank you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. recently had my carpets professionally cleaned by Cleaning Doctor, run by Alastair, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From start to finish, the service was exceptional. Alastair was punctual, professional, and clearly takes great pride in his work. He explained the process thoroughly, used high-quality equipment, and treated my home with care and respect.

The difference in my carpets was incredible — they looked and smelled fresh, with stains I thought were permanent completely removed. It's clear that Alastair brings both expertise and attention to detail to every job.

I highly recommend Cleaning Doctor to anyone looking for top-tier carpet cleaning. You’ll get excellent results along with friendly and reliable service. Thanks again, Alastair!

I’ve used Alastair a couple of times now and would happily use again - very professional, very reliable, very friendly and does a very thorough job. Brought my 20+ year old sofa back to life with a really good clean. Highly recommended.

My professional accreditations

We Treat Every Stain Type

Specialist solutions for common household accidents in Your Area.

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.

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

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.
