Cleaning carpets in Henley-on-Thames
Henley has a high proportion of period property and, along with it, a high proportion of genuinely good carpet - wool twists and woven Axminster and Wilton rather than the cheapest thing on the roll. Good carpet repays looking after in a way that cheap carpet does not, because the fibre is worth preserving in the first place and there is a great deal more of it in every square foot.
What kills a good carpet is not staining, it is grit. Sharp particles work their way down to the base of the pile and cut the fibre a little with every single footstep, and once enough of it has gone the pile will not stand up again whatever is done to it afterwards. Cleaning on a sensible cycle is not cosmetic on a carpet like that - it is the difference between fifteen years and thirty.
The Thames runs through the middle of the town and properties close to it sit at a slightly higher humidity, which shows up as longer drying times rather than as any problem with the cleaning itself. We allow for it with extra dry passes and will tell you what a particular room actually needs. An old house with thick walls and the river at the end of the garden is the slowest combination of all.

Henley-on-Thames questions
The things people in Henley-on-Thames ask us most often.
Is professional cleaning worth it on an expensive wool carpet?
More so than on a cheap one. The damage that matters is grit cutting the fibre at the base of the pile, and that is exactly what extraction removes. On a good carpet, regular cleaning adds years rather than simply improving the look.
How long will a riverside house take to dry?
Longer than one further inland, and longer again in an old house with solid walls. Touch dry in two to four hours still holds in most rooms. We make extra dry passes near the river and will tell you what to expect room by room.
Which areas around Henley do you cover?
Shiplake, Lower Shiplake, Harpsden, Remenham, both Rotherfields, Binfield Heath, Fawley, Bix and Nettlebed. The whole of RG9 is part of our normal area, and there is no travel charge or call-out fee however far out of the town you are.
We are having the house decorated - should we clean before or after?
After, every time. Dust from sanding and fine specks of paint end up in the carpet, so cleaning first just means paying to do it twice. Let the decorators finish, vacuum thoroughly, then book us in.
