Cleaning carpets in Marlow
Marlow is old riverside property at its core. Georgian and Victorian houses fill the streets running down towards the bridge, with later family housing spreading up towards Marlow Bottom and Little Marlow. The floors tend to match the houses: wool carpet, stair runners laid over boards, and a fair number of hand-knotted rugs. That is a better class of problem to have, but it does mean the wrong approach can do real damage.
Rugs are where most of the care goes. Before anything wet touches one we check the fibre, test the dyes in a hidden corner and look at what the backing is made of. Wool and most synthetics are perfectly safe cleaned in the house from £25 each. Viscose is not, and it belongs with a specialist - we would rather say so than ruin something that cost a great deal to buy.
Being close to the Thames, the air here carries a little more moisture than it does further up the hill, so drying wants help rather than more heat. Internal doors open, an extractor fan running, and two to four hours to touch dry is still the normal answer. We will tell you honestly what a particular room needs before we pack the van up.

Marlow questions
The things people in Marlow ask us most often.
Can you clean a hand-knotted rug in the house?
Usually yes. We check the fibre, test the dyes in a hidden corner and look at the backing before anything wet goes near it. Rugs start at £25. If we think one belongs with a specialist - viscose in particular - we will tell you rather than risk it.
Do you cover Marlow Bottom and out towards Frieth?
Yes - Marlow Bottom, Little Marlow, Bisham, Medmenham, Hurley, Well End, Frieth and Lane End are all in our normal area. There is no travel charge on any of them and no call-out fee.
Is wool carpet harder to clean than synthetic?
Not harder, just different. Wool wants a neutral or slightly acidic chemistry and controlled moisture. The alkaline degreasers that suit synthetic fibre will dull wool and can felt the pile, and that part cannot be undone afterwards.
What does a hall, stairs and landing cost?
£75 for the three together - £20 for the hall, £35 for the stairs and £20 for the landing. In a town house with a turn in the staircase it is hand work tread by tread, and the price stays the same.
