Cleaning carpets in St Ives
St Ives has the Great Ouse running through the middle of it, a medieval bridge with a chapel built onto it, and meadows either side that flood most winters. Walking those paths is what people here do, and it is also why halls and stairs in this town see rather more mud and leaf litter than the average household elsewhere.
Which brings up the question of how often. There is no single answer, but there is a sensible rule of thumb: every nine to twelve months for a hall, stairs and lounge in a family house with a dog or regular walkers, every eighteen months to two years for a quiet household with no pets, and bedrooms far less often than either.
Leaving it longer than that is false economy. Grit held in the base of the pile cuts the fibre every single time it is walked on, so the carpet does not only look worse, it physically wears out sooner. Cleaning on a cycle is cheaper than replacing. Hall, stairs and landing at £75 once a year is the usual pattern here.

St Ives questions
The things people in St Ives ask us most often.
What is a sensible interval between cleans?
Nine to twelve months for the hall, stairs and lounge in a busy house with pets or walkers. Eighteen months to two years for a quiet household. Bedrooms can go considerably longer than either of those.
Is cleaning once a year not a waste of money on a cheap carpet?
The opposite, in fact. Grit in the base of the pile grinds the fibre flat, so regular cleaning is what makes an inexpensive carpet last. Over five years it costs less than replacing the carpet once.
Do you cover St Ives and the Hemingfords?
Yes - PE27, including Houghton, Hemingford Grey, Hemingford Abbots, Needingworth, Somersham, Earith, Bluntisham, Fenstanton, Wyton and Hilton. No travel charge out to any of them and no call-out fee either, and the prices are the same.
What should I do about mud off the riverside path?
Let it dry completely and then vacuum it up. Wet mud smears over three times the area and pushes down into the pile. Dry mud lifts out almost entirely, and what is left is what we deal with.
