Cleaning carpets in Crook
The question we get asked most in Crook has nothing to do with the town and everything to do with a spot that will not stay gone. Somebody cleans a mark, it disappears, and two days later it is back in exactly the same shape. That is wicking, and it is worth understanding because it changes what you should do about a spill.
Here is what happens. A spill goes down through the pile into the backing and the underlay. Cleaning the surface removes what is on the fibre but leaves the reservoir underneath. As the carpet dries, moisture travels upward and brings the dissolved stain back up with it, which is why it reappears looking like a ring.
Fixing it means getting the contamination out rather than off - repeated flushing with proper extraction, and sometimes a weighted absorbent pad left on the area overnight. We will tell you honestly if a mark is likely to come back, because a cheap clean that fails twice costs more than doing the job properly the first time around.

Crook questions
The things people in Crook ask us most often.
Why has a stain I cleaned come back a few days later?
Wicking. The spill soaked past the pile into the backing, so cleaning the top only removed part of it. As the carpet dried, the rest travelled back up the fibres. It needs flushing out, not scrubbing off.
What should I do the moment something gets spilt?
Blot, do not rub, with a clean white towel, and keep pressing until very little transfers. Then leave it alone and ring us. Rubbing spreads the spill sideways and pushes it deeper into the backing.
Do you travel out to Tow Law and the villages above Crook?
Yes - Willington, Howden-le-Wear, Stanley Crook, Billy Row, Roddymoor, Helmington Row, Hunwick, Tow Law, Witton-le-Wear and Fir Tree. There is no travel charge for any of it, and the prices do not change with the altitude.
Can a stain ever be permanent?
Some can. Dye from a strong drink, bleach, rust and anything that has burnt the fibre are different from soil and may not fully go. We look first and tell you what to expect rather than guessing.
