Cleaning carpets in Pitstone
Pitstone stands under the chalk hills at the northern end of the Chilterns, with Ivinghoe Beacon on the skyline behind it, and it is a village of family houses with staircases that take a hammering. Stairs are the hardest-worn carpet in any house: every step lands on the same few inches of nose, and that is where the pile gives out first.
They are also the part nobody else cleans properly, because a machine will not sit on them. We do stairs by hand with a small upholstery tool, tread by tread and down the risers, which is slower and is the only way to reach the nosings and the edges. Stairs are £35, and on their own that sits under the £50 minimum, so most people add the hall and landing and have the lot for £75.
One thing worth knowing about stairs in particular: if a mark comes back a few days after a clean, that is almost always wicking. Soil sitting deep in the backing travels up the fibre as the carpet dries and shows again at the surface. It is not a failure of the clean and it is fixable, so ring us and we will come back and deal with it.

Pitstone questions
The things people in Pitstone ask us most often.
Why has the mark come back a week after cleaning?
Wicking. Soil deep in the backing travels up the fibre as the carpet dries and reappears at the surface. It is common on stairs and on old spills, it is not a failure of the clean, and we will come back and sort it out.
Can you clean just the stairs on their own?
We can, but stairs are £35 and the minimum charge is £50, so you would be paying the minimum regardless. Adding the hall and the landing brings the whole lot to £75, which is why most people do that instead.
How do you clean stairs properly?
By hand, with a small upholstery tool, tread by tread and down each riser. A large machine cannot sit on a stair, so the nosings and the edges - the parts that wear out first - get missed by anyone working in a hurry.
Do you come out to Pitstone and Ivinghoe?
Yes - Pitstone, Ivinghoe, Ivinghoe Aston, Edlesborough, Northall, Dagnall, Slapton and Aldbury. We are under these hills regularly and there is no travel charge on any of them.
