Cleaning carpets in Bordon
Bordon grew up around the army camp and much of its housing came with it, from the older quarters to the large amount of new building that has gone up since the garrison wound down. The ground here is greensand, and the heaths around Woolmer and Longmoor are sand rather than soil. That is the local problem on a carpet.
Sand does not stain. It goes straight through the pile to the backing and stays there, invisible, and it is heavy and sharp. A carpet can hold a surprising weight of it without looking dirty at all, and every step grinds it against the fibre. If you have ever tipped a vacuum bag out after a summer on the heath you will know what we mean.
Getting sand out is mechanical rather than chemical. Thorough dry vacuuming first, in both directions, then extraction with enough suction to pull from the base of the pile rather than rinse the top of it. No amount of detergent moves sand. It is one of the jobs where the difference between a hired machine and a proper one is most obvious.

Bordon questions
The things people in Bordon ask us most often.
My carpet looks clean but feels gritty underfoot - what is in it?
Sand off the heaths, most likely. It drops to the backing where it cannot be seen and a vacuum only reaches part of it. It does not stain, it abrades, so getting it out is the whole point of having the carpet cleaned here.
Is it worth me vacuuming before you arrive?
It helps, though we vacuum thoroughly ourselves as part of the job and that dry pass is where most of the sand comes out. What is more useful is clearing small items off the floor so we can work without stopping.
Do you do the newer housing as well as the older quarters?
Both, and the carpet is usually quite different. Older quarters tend to have hard-worn synthetic with real soil in it; the new houses have pale developer carpet that dulls rather than stains. Same price list either way, and no travel charge.
How far out from Bordon do you come?
Whitehill, Lindford, Headley, Headley Down, Kingsley, Oakhanger, Standford, Passfield, Greatham and Selborne are all on the normal round, along with Bordon itself. That is GU35 and the lanes off it, with nothing added for the miles.
