Cleaning carpets in Long Crendon
Long Crendon is one of the older villages in this part of Buckinghamshire and the housing reflects that - period cottages at the core, substantial village houses around them and newer family homes out at the edges. There is more wool carpet here than in most of the places we work, which is a good thing for the owner and a thing we have to pay proper attention to.
Wool is a protein fibre, so it does not get on with the alkaline degreasers that work perfectly well on synthetics. Get the chemistry wrong and it dulls, felts or yellows, and none of that can be undone afterwards. On wool we use a neutral to slightly acidic pre-spray, keep the moisture tightly controlled and dry it properly. It is not difficult work, but it does have to be deliberate.
The reward is that wool gives up its soil better than almost any other fibre. Each strand has a scaled surface that holds dirt loosely instead of gripping it, so a good wool carpet that has not been touched for ten years will often come back further than the owner expects. It also recovers its pile after cleaning, which flattened synthetic carpet simply does not do.

Long Crendon questions
The things people in Long Crendon ask us most often.
How do you tell whether a carpet is wool or synthetic?
A few fibres from an edge and a careful burn test settle it straight away - wool smoulders and smells of hair, synthetics melt into a hard bead. We check that before choosing a pre-spray rather than guessing from the look of the pile.
Will cleaning shrink a wool carpet?
Not when the moisture is controlled. Shrinkage comes from over-wetting a natural fibre and then letting it stay wet. We use heat and suction rather than volume, so it ends up damp rather than soaked and dry the same day.
Do you cover Long Crendon, Chearsley and Chilton?
Yes, along with Dorton, Brill, Shabbington, Ickford, Kingsey and Thame just over the border. HP18 and OX9 are both part of our normal area and there is nothing added for crossing between them.
Is an old wool carpet worth cleaning or should we replace it?
Usually well worth cleaning. Wool releases soil readily and recovers its pile, so a tired-looking one often has years left in it. If it has worn through in the doorways we will tell you that instead of taking your money.
