Cleaning carpets in Great Horwood
Great Horwood sits on heavy Buckinghamshire clay, and clay is the opposite problem to sand. It is fine, it is sticky, it holds water, and it carries a brown-yellow colour of its own, so it stains rather than simply dulling. For half the year the lanes and field edges around the village are producing the stuff, and all of it would like to come indoors.
The single most useful thing you can do about clay is nothing at all. Wet clay wiped with a cloth spreads over three times the area and goes straight down into the base of the pile. Left alone until it has dried out completely it turns brittle, and a good part of it lifts away with a vacuum before anybody has to do anything clever.
What is left after that is the colour, and that is our end of the job. A clay mark wants a pre-treatment matched to the fibre and enough dwell time to work properly before extraction. Rushing that step is the usual reason a patch ends up looking better but not right, and on a pale village hallway the difference is very obvious.

Great Horwood questions
The things people in Great Horwood ask us most often.
The children have walked mud through the hall - what should I do?
Leave it alone. Let it dry out completely, then vacuum it up. Wiping wet mud spreads it across a far bigger area and pushes it into the base of the pile, which makes our job harder and yours pointless.
Do you come out to Great Horwood and the smaller villages?
Yes - Great Horwood, Little Horwood, Singleborough, Nash, Swanbourne, Mursley, Whaddon, Thornborough and Winslow. There is no travel charge to any of them, and we are usually out in that direction most weeks anyway.
Does clay stain a carpet permanently?
Not usually. It leaves a yellow-brown cast rather than a dye stain, and it comes out with the right pre-treatment and enough dwell time before extraction. Years of repeated clay marking takes longer than a single incident.
How much is a lounge and two bedrooms?
£100 - that is £40 for the lounge and £30 for each bedroom. Adding the hall at £20 and the landing at £20 takes it to £140 and covers the whole main route through the house.
