Cleaning carpets in Royston
Royston sits at the foot of the chalk heath where the Icknield Way runs along the top, and it is a town full of dog walkers. Heath, chalk tracks and a dog is a combination that keeps a hall carpet busy. The mud is one thing; the smell is a different problem, and it is the one people ring about.
Dog smell in a carpet is usually oil rather than dirt. It transfers off the coat into the fibre, holds soil in place and gives off odour when the room warms up. Washing the surface does very little because the oil is in the pile, so the spot needs a longer dwell with something that breaks grease down before the water goes anywhere near it.
Urine is a separate job again, and an honest answer is that it depends how far it has gone. If it is in the carpet only, it comes out. If it has soaked the underlay or reached the floorboards, cleaning the carpet will not fix the smell and we will say so rather than take your money twice. Tell us where the accidents happened when you book.

Royston questions
The things people in Royston ask us most often.
Will cleaning get rid of the dog smell for good?
If the odour is in the carpet, yes. If urine has gone through to the underlay or the boards, the carpet will come up clean and the smell will come back, because the source is underneath. We will tell you which it is before starting.
Is the cleaning solution safe around dogs?
Yes, once the carpet is dry. Keep pets off the floor while it is damp, which is normally three to six hours, and open a window. We rinse thoroughly, so there is no detergent film left for a dog to lie on or lick.
How much for a lounge and a hall where the dog lives?
£60 at standard prices, the lounge from £40 and the hall at £20. Point out the dog's usual spot and the accidents when we arrive - those areas get a longer pre-spray and more passes, and that is included.
Are the villages out towards Barkway and Ashwell on your list?
They are - Therfield, Barkway, Barley, Reed, Ashwell, Steeple Morden, Litlington, Kneesworth, Melbourn and Meldreth. SG8 is a big postcode and we do not charge differently for the far end of it.
