Cleaning carpets in Wellingborough
Wellingborough was a boot and shoe town, and the long Victorian terraces built for that trade still make up a good part of it. They share a layout almost house for house: a front door straight onto the pavement, a narrow hall, a steep straight flight and a small landing at the top. Nearly all the wear in the house happens in that one strip.
That strip is what a carpet cleaner calls a traffic lane, and it is probably the most useful thing to understand about your own floors. Soil does not arrive evenly. It comes in on shoes, drops off in the first few feet inside the door, then gets walked down the middle of the hall and up the centre of every tread on the stairs.
Which is why the middle goes grey while the edges under the furniture stay close to the colour the carpet started life as. Cleaning the lane and leaving the rest looks worse rather than better, so we work wall to wall and even it back up. Hall, stairs and landing is £75 together, and in a terrace that is most of the carpet you own.

Wellingborough questions
The things people in Wellingborough ask us most often.
Why is the middle of my hall darker than the edges?
That is a traffic lane. Soil drops off shoes in the first few feet and then gets walked down the centre, while the edges under furniture stay close to the original colour. Cleaning the whole floor evens it back up.
Can you clean just the worn strip to keep the cost down?
We would rather not. Cleaning a lane and leaving the rest makes the difference more obvious, not less. A hall at £20 or a lounge at £40 done properly wall to wall is better value than a patch in the middle.
Do you cover Wellingborough and the Nene villages?
Yes - NN8 and NN9, taking in Finedon, Irthlingborough, Earls Barton, Great Doddington, Wilby, Isham, Little Irchester, Wollaston and Bozeat. No travel charge and no call-out fee, in the town or out in the villages.
How steep a staircase can you actually clean?
Any of them. Terrace flights are often steep and narrow, and they are cleaned by hand tread by tread with a small upholstery-sized tool. It is slower than a floor, and the £35 stair price covers it.
