Cleaning carpets in Watlington
Watlington is a very small old market town, and small is the operative word - tight streets, modest room sizes, and a good deal of property that predates fitted carpet by a few centuries. Rooms of that shape are quick to clean and surprisingly awkward to clean well, because almost all of the floor in them is either an edge, a doorway or a corner.
In a large modern lounge most of the floor is open and the edges are a small fraction of the job. In a small period room it is the other way round entirely. We spend most of the time in one of those with a hand tool along the skirting and into the corners, which is precisely where soil accumulates because it is where a vacuum reaches least often.
Small rooms also go from clean to grubby faster than large ones, because the same footfall is concentrated into less floor. Nine to twelve months is a sensible cycle in a house like that rather than leaving it two or three years. A carpet cleaned regularly stays a maintenance job and stays straightforward. A carpet left for years becomes a rescue job and never quite gets all the way back.

Watlington questions
The things people in Watlington ask us most often.
Do small rooms cost less to clean?
A little - bedrooms start at £30 and a hall is £20 - but the £50 minimum means one small room on its own is poor value. Two or three areas in a single visit is the sensible way to book it.
How often is often enough?
Every nine to twelve months for halls, stairs and lounges, and every couple of years for bedrooms that see less traffic. Cleaned on that cycle it stays a maintenance job. Left for years it becomes a rescue job instead.
Do you get out to Watlington and the hill villages?
Yes - Pyrton, Shirburn, Britwell Salome, Cuxham, Christmas Common, Pishill and Brightwell Baldwin, along with Lewknor and Chalgrove. All part of our normal round with nothing added for the distance.
Will the carpet get dirty again faster once it has been cleaned?
Not if it is rinsed properly. That reputation comes from detergent left behind in the pile, which then attracts soil to it. We rinse rather than leave residue, which is the whole point of hot water extraction.
