Cleaning carpets in Downley
Downley is an estate village on the hill above High Wycombe with a large common on its doorstep and woodland beyond that again. Most of the housing is mid-century family stock with a newer edge added to it. With that much open ground inside a two-minute walk, the calls that come to us from Downley are very often about something that has only just happened.
What you do in the first few minutes matters a great deal more than what anybody does later on. Lift off whatever is solid with a spoon rather than a cloth. Blot the wet with white kitchen roll, pressing straight down, moving to a dry piece as soon as the one in your hand stops taking anything up. Work inwards from the outside so you do not make it bigger. Then stop.
Stopping is the part people find hardest. Rubbing distorts the pile and drives the spill down into the backing where it will wick back up later, and household spot removers very often leave a residue that attracts soil for months afterwards. Blot it, leave it and ring us - a fresh spill treated properly comes out far more often than an old one does.

Downley questions
The things people in Downley ask us most often.
Something has just gone on the carpet - what should I do first?
Scrape off anything solid, then blot with white kitchen roll from the edge of the spill inwards, pressing rather than rubbing. Change to a dry piece often. Do not put a spot remover on it before we have seen it.
Why should I not rub a spill out?
Rubbing pushes the spill down into the backing and roughs up the pile, so you finish with a mark that is both deeper and fluffier than the carpet around it. Blotting lifts the liquid without doing either.
Do you cover Downley, Naphill and Walter's Ash?
Yes, and Hughenden Valley, Bradenham, West Wycombe, Booker and Sands with them. It is all within a few minutes of each other and there is no travel charge, so a village booking is priced exactly as a town one would be.
Is red wine actually as hopeless as people say?
No, although it is far easier fresh. Blot it, do not put salt or white wine on it, and call us. Most red wine on a synthetic carpet comes out completely and a good deal of it comes out of wool.
