Cleaning carpets in Peterlee
Peterlee was designated a new town in 1948 and named after Peter Lee, the Durham miners' leader. The housing shows its date honestly: compact estates, square rooms, and carpet specified to be hardwearing rather than luxurious. Around the edges at Horden, Easington and Blackhall there are the older colliery terraces the new town was built to relieve.
Hardwearing almost always meant synthetic, and synthetic and wool need treating differently. Nylon and polypropylene are hydrophobic - they resist water-based staining but they hold greasy soil, so they go dull rather than spotty and they need a degreasing pre-spray and real heat to come back. People ring us convinced a two year old carpet has worn out when all that has happened is the fibre has gone matt.
Wool is the opposite. It absorbs, so it stains more readily, and it needs controlled moisture and a gentler pH or the fibre dulls and the dye can move. We check what we are standing on before anything comes off the van, because getting that one decision wrong accounts for most bad carpet cleaning. It costs nothing to check and it cannot be undone afterwards.

Peterlee questions
The things people in Peterlee ask us most often.
How do you tell whether a carpet is wool or man-made?
By feel, by the look of the pile and if necessary by testing a single fibre out of sight. It matters because wool wants controlled moisture and a gentler pH, while synthetics want heat and a degreaser.
Our carpet is not stained but it looks tired - why?
Greasy soil on a synthetic pile. It coats the fibre and kills the shine without ever showing as a mark. A degreasing pre-spray and hot water extraction usually brings it back a long way.
Do you come to Horden, Easington and Blackhall as well as Peterlee?
Yes, along with Shotton Colliery, Castle Eden, Thornley, Haswell, Hutton Henry and Wingate. All of SR8 and the villages around it, with no travel charge and no call-out fee. We are over that way most weeks.
What is the least we can book?
The minimum charge is £50. A lounge and a bedroom at £70, or hall, stairs and landing at £75, are the two most common ways people meet it sensibly. Rugs from £25 and mattresses from £25 are easy things to add.
