Cleaning carpets in Chipping Norton
Chipping Norton sits high on the limestone, the highest town in Oxfordshire, and the ground around it is thin brashy soil full of small pale stones. That soil walks indoors all year round. It is gritty, it is light-coloured, and it behaves nothing like the clay you get further down the Thames valley. It is an abrasion problem rather than a staining one.
Limestone grit sinks to the base of the pile and cuts the fibre every time somebody stands on it. A carpet full of it looks flat and grey without a single visible mark anywhere, which is why people here more often ring us about dullness than about a spill. Vacuuming lifts the loose part of it and hot water extraction takes out the rest.
The stone cottages bring their own details - thick walls, cool rooms, winding stairs and thresholds straight onto flagstone or tile. Cool rooms dry more slowly, so we make extra dry passes and ask for a window open rather than the heating turned up full, which only moves damp air about. Two to four hours is still the normal figure.

Chipping Norton questions
The things people in Chipping Norton ask us most often.
Why does the carpet look grey when there are no stains on it?
Fine limestone grit worked down into the base of the pile. It does not mark, it dulls, and it abrades the fibre underfoot. Hot water extraction lifts it out, and a hall usually comes up several shades lighter.
Do cold stone cottages take longer to dry?
A bit. Thick walls keep rooms cool and cool air carries less moisture away. We make more dry passes and ask for ventilation rather than heat. Allow the evening rather than the afternoon and it will be fine.
Which villages around Chipping Norton do you come out to?
Over Norton, Churchill, Kingham, Salford, Enstone, Great Rollright, Little Compton, Chastleton, Heythrop and Charlbury, all OX7. No travel charge for any of them and no call-out fee, however far out the lane goes.
Can you clean a carpet that runs up to a flagstone floor?
Yes. We work the edge with a small tool rather than flooding the threshold, and we keep water away from the stone. Tell us where the changes of floor are and we plan the passes around them.
