Cleaning carpets in Lewknor
Lewknor sits right where the Chiltern escarpment is cut through by the motorway, and that gives the village an unusual combination on its floors. From the hill behind comes chalk, which is dry, pale and powdery. From the road comes a very fine greasy film off passing traffic. The two arrive through the same front door on the same pair of boots and they behave nothing like each other.
Chalk is alkaline and wants drying and vacuuming before anything wet goes near it, or it spreads outwards into a pale halo. Road film is greasy and needs an alkaline degreaser and real heat before it will release. Treat either one as though it were the other and you get a poor result on both, which is why we ask what the ground around a house is like before choosing a pre-spray.
Plenty of households here leave from the junction early and get back late, so the wear concentrates hard into a few square feet by the door and on the stairs rather than spreading evenly. That is worth cleaning more often than the rest of the house instead of waiting until everything needs doing at once. Grit left sitting in a traffic lane cuts the fibre every time somebody walks over it.

Lewknor questions
The things people in Lewknor ask us most often.
We get chalk off the hill and dirt off the road - does that matter?
It does, because the two need opposite treatment. Chalk should be dried and vacuumed before anything wet touches it. Road film needs a degreasing pre-spray and heat. Tell us which you have most of and we will set up for it.
Is Lewknor too small a place for you to come out to?
Not at all. Lewknor, Aston Rowant, Kingston Blount, Postcombe, Shirburn, Pyrton and Watlington are all part of our normal OX49 round, and there is no travel charge or call-out fee on any of them.
How long do we need to stay off the carpet afterwards?
Two to four hours to touch dry, and in clean socks rather than shoes. Fully dry is usually the same evening. Keep furniture off until it is properly dry, or put foil under any metal or wooden feet - both can mark damp carpet permanently.
Can you give a price over the phone?
Nearly always. Tell us the rooms and roughly what state they are in and you get a firm figure, not a range. Lounge from £40, bedrooms from £30, hall £20, stairs £35, landing £20, with a £50 minimum.
