Cleaning carpets in Barkham
Barkham is lanes, fields and scattered housing rather than a village with a centre to it, and a lot of the people who ring us from here are ringing about one specific thing that has just happened on the lounge carpet rather than booking a general clean. So the most useful thing we can put on a page about Barkham is what to do in the first ten minutes, before anybody phones anybody.
Blot, do not rub. Press a clean white towel down hard, keep moving to a dry part of it, and work from the outside of the spill inwards so that it does not spread any further than it already has. Cold water only, and not very much of it. Rubbing drives the spill into the backing and distorts the pile, and a distorted pile still catches the light afterwards.
Then leave it alone. Supermarket stain removers are the main reason a mark comes back a month later - the residue sits in the fibre and quietly collects soil out of the air. If you have already used one, say so, because it changes how the area needs rinsing. Ring with what was spilt and how long ago, and we will say honestly whether it needs us at all.

Barkham questions
The things people in Barkham ask us most often.
Something has just been spilt - what should I do right now?
Blot, do not rub. Press a clean white towel down firmly, move to a dry part of it and work from the outside of the spill inwards. Cold water only and very little of it. Rubbing pushes it into the backing.
Why does rubbing make it worse?
Two reasons. It spreads the spill sideways and drives it down into the backing, and it distorts the pile, so the area still catches the light differently once the stain itself has gone.
Should I use a stain remover from the supermarket?
We would rather you did not. The residue stays in the fibre and pulls soil back to the same place for months. If you have already used one, tell us what it was so the area can be rinsed properly.
Do you come out to Barkham and the lanes around it?
Yes, and there is no travel charge. Barkham, Arborfield, Bearwood, California, Finchampstead and the Wokingham edge are all part of our normal week. If you are down a track or set back from the road, mention it and we will bring extra hose.
