Cleaning carpets in Burnham
Burnham has Burnham Beeches on its doorstep, and for about four months of the year that shows up on the carpet. Beech and oak leaves break down into leaf mould, and leaf mould is not ordinary soil - it is organic, it is acidic and it carries tannin, which is a dye rather than a deposit. That is why an autumn mark behaves quite differently from a winter one.
Tannin marks are the pale brown ones that refuse to shift with a cloth. They want a tannin-specific treatment rather than more scrubbing, and scrubbing them while wet is precisely how a small mark becomes a large one. If something has come in off the woods, leave it alone, let it dry, vacuum it thoroughly and tell us what it was when we arrive.
The rest of Burnham is ordinary family work. The village end has older property with narrow halls and steep stairs, and the streets running towards Lent Rise and Cippenham are post-war and later, with straight flights and square rooms. Hall, stairs and landing at £75 is the job we do most often here, autumn or otherwise, because that is the part of a house that shows the season first.

Burnham questions
The things people in Burnham ask us most often.
What is the brown mark that keeps coming back after autumn?
Most likely tannin from leaf mould. It is a dye rather than a deposit, so it needs a tannin treatment instead of more scrubbing. Scrubbing spreads it and often sets it, which is why it tends to look worse each time.
Do you work around Burnham and the Beeches?
Yes - Burnham village, Lent Rise, Cippenham, Britwell, Littleworth Common, Farnham Royal and Stoke Poges, plus Taplow and Dorney. All SL1 and the lanes around it, with no travel charge.
Should I treat a spill myself before you arrive?
Blot it, do not rub it, working from the outside of the mark inwards with a white cloth. Water only. Supermarket spot removers leave a sticky residue that pulls soil straight back to the same spot.
What is the smallest job you will take on?
The minimum charge is £50, and it covers carpets, rugs and upholstery alike. Most people make it up with a hall and stairs at £55, or with a couple of rugs from £25 each.
