Carpet Cleaning: Truly Local and Professional Services
What Makes a Truly Professional Carpet Cleaner?
More and more often you see companies advertise professional carpet cleaning services only to send you a subcontractor with a rented machine and chemicals bought from eBay.
Such agencies, which are not local and do not permanently employ staff, will do a subpar work on your carpets. If they know what they are doing, they will not leave your carpets in a worse condition than before, and they will not shrink them during the cleaning process.
At Diamond Carpet Cleaning, we employ our own people: they live and work in an area of up to ten miles from their home.
They also continuously train in their own trade, and we invest the bulk of our income into cleaning products and carpet cleaning equipment.
This gives you considerable savings and advantages: when you book us for your home's carpets, you will get one or more technicians who:
- have at least three years in the carpet cleaning business
- are versatile and experienced in the most up-to-date cleaning methods and fibre types
- are able to tackle the most diverse and stubborn stains
- live in your local area & will show up on time, as agreed
- conduct themselves in a friendly, professional manner.
This is what makes a truly professional carpet cleaning service. We are local to your area, we value quality, and we believe in the right equipment for the right job.
Why Hire a Professional When I Can Do It Myself?
Maintenance carpet cleaning, just like hoovering, is something most people can do by themselves. If you hoover your carpets at least twice a week, and use a small carpet steamer machine (from Vax, Karcher, Bissell and so on) on them once every three months, you will get decent results with minimum costs.
However, no matter how often you use a small carpet steamer, it will not be powerfull enough to inject steam at the base and underneath the carpet. This means that it will not do a thorough job.
More importantly, if the small carpet cleaning machine only uses steam instead of water injection, too, it will only do a half-way job.
That is why it is important to have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year by a certified carpet technician. Their machines cost in the thousands, are of an industrial grade, and will inject water, steam and chemicals deep into the base of the carpet, ensuring a 89-95% removal of dirt and a complete disinfection and removal of allergens, dust mites and bacterias.
pH measure, UV checks, colour bleeding (fastness) tests and fabric refresh is also something which our professional provide by default, so our is truly the best method you can find on the market.
How Should a Carpet be Cleaned to Get the Most Effective Results?
At Diamond Carpet Cleaning, we know the best methods to clean any and all types of fitted carpets out there. This can be either dry cleaning, wet (water) cleaning or hot water (deep steam / carpet shampooing).
Our local technicians know exactly which type of carpet you may have, after doing a ten-seconds test. That will determine which machine, method and chemicals to use to give it a professional clean.
And because each of our cleaners have at least three years of experience, there is zero risk to damaging any carpet.
How Often Should I Have the Carpets Professionally Cleaned?
If there is a lot of traffic on your carpets -- this is usually in hallways, on the stairs and in the living and the dining room, the best option will be to have them cleaned at least twice a year by our professionals.
If the foot traffic is low, a yearly deep clean service will take care of your carpets just like it is recommended by the manufacturers.
Also, consider asking us to further protect your carpet from stains by using additional stain protection chemicals. This is an extra service worth every penny in the longterm.

All the carpet types and the best methods to clean them
Deep Steam Cleaning
This is also known as water extraction or carpet shampooing.
It is the most effective cleaning method available on the market today.
The temperature of the water, the equipment and the cleaning products make all the difference in terms of results.
Water (wet) Cleaning
This is a basic cleaning method done with household equipment such as Rug Doctor, Karcher, Bissel and Vax.
Such machines do not have powerful heaters to boil water up to 120 Celsius and they do not have powerful vacuums to suck up all the dirt from the carpets.
Some of these machines which you can rent, if they are faulty, will simply move the dirt around, doing a halfway job.
Dry Cleaning
The original method of cleaning fabrics, dry clean is nowadays only used on natural fibres (coir, jute, sisal, some silk variants etc.) which cannot be cleaned with water.
Some of our clients do this themselves (by using a powder such as Prochem Fibredri or Glade Shake'n'Vac) whereas others hire one of our local pros with a revolving heads machine, industrial-grade products, a power brush machine and a trade-grade hoover.
Improved carpet cleaning products
Axminster / Wool & Viscose / Rayon Carpets
Axminster-type carpets are usually found in pubs and restaurants, as well as in residential properties. They are made of wool and are very durable.
Viscose (known as rayon in the US) is made of a plant pulp: it should be dry cleaned only; however, some variants can be cleaned with water only by a professional.
Our carpet cleaners know how to professionally treat such carpets, paying particular attention to the underlay (which may be made of a natural plant fibre).
Because they are made of wool, we pay particular focus to not damaging the fibres and to extend their lifespan.
If you have such carpets, be very careful who you book to clean them as turbo dryers may damage their fibres and cheap cleaning products may cause the colour to bleed.
Synthetic (Artificial Fibre) Carpets
These are virtually everlasting carpets because they are made of artificial fibres.
Our expert carpet cleaners treat the fibres with eco-friendly chemicals, water and steam up to 120 degrees Celsius and fabric refresh products. They may also apply a stain protection chemical, depending on your wishes.
The most effective cleaning method and the latest equipment in the industry are used on such carpets because they do not shrink or get damaged.
Coir, Sisal, Jute, Silk Carpets
We know how to clean over 10+ types of natural fibres with specialist chemicals and the right equipment.
If your fitted carpets are made of a natural fibre such as coir, sisal, jute, silk, bamboo and others, our technicians will advise you on all the available cleaning methods available in our inventory.
Although they look fantastic, such carpets are prone to wicking and shrinking if cleaned with water, and dry cleaning is hygienic but not 100% effective.
