Cleaning carpets in Great Missenden
Great Missenden sits on the floor of the Misbourne valley with the ground rising steeply on both sides of it. Valley bottoms hold moisture. The air sits still, the sun comes off the lower gardens early in the afternoon, and rooms on the north side of a house can be noticeably cooler than the rest of it. All of that affects how long a cleaned carpet takes to dry.
Drying is the part of the job most people worry about and the part most often done badly. Our method puts down a controlled amount of solution and pulls the great majority of it straight back out, so a carpet is left damp rather than wet. Two to four hours to touch dry is normal, and fully dry by the same evening if there is a little air moving through the house.
Helping it along is simple enough. Open the internal doors so the air can circulate, run an extractor fan, and leave the heating at its usual setting rather than turning it up - warm still air is worse than cool moving air. We will say on the day which rooms are likely to want the most help and which will look after themselves.

Great Missenden questions
The things people in Great Missenden ask us most often.
How long will the carpet be wet for?
Two to four hours before you can walk on it in clean socks, and usually fully dry by the evening. A cold north-facing room or a thick wool carpet will take a bit longer than that.
Should I turn the heating up to dry it faster?
No - air movement does far more than heat does. Open the internal doors, run an extractor fan, and open a window if it is a dry day. Hot still air simply holds the moisture in the room.
Do you go out to the villages above Great Missenden?
Yes. Prestwood, South Heath, Ballinger, Lee Common, The Lee, Hyde Heath, Little Kingshill and Little Missenden are all part of the normal round, and there is nothing added to the bill for getting up there however narrow the lane turns out to be.
Can we put the furniture straight back afterwards?
Better to wait until the carpet is fully dry, which is normally by the evening. If something has to go back sooner, slip foil or plastic under any wooden or metal feet, because both will mark damp carpet and the mark can be permanent.
