Cleaning carpets in Stotfold
Stotfold sits on the Ivel just over the Bedfordshire line, and most of its housing is post-war and later family stock with a straight flight of stairs in the middle of it. Stairs are the hardest-worn carpet in any house and the hardest to clean properly, which is why they are the job most people have given up doing themselves.
The wear is concentrated on the front edge of each tread, where the foot lands and the pile is bent over a hard nosing. That strip takes several times the traffic of a lounge floor in the same house. It also collects the grit that falls off shoes on the way up, which sits in the angle between tread and riser where no vacuum head reaches.
So stairs are hand work. A small upholstery tool, tread by tread, into the nosing and the angle, with the pre-spray given time to work on the edges before anything is rinsed. A flight is £35 however many turns it has. With the hall at £20 and the landing at £20 the three together come to £75, which is the most common booking we take.

Stotfold questions
The things people in Stotfold ask us most often.
Why does the front edge of every step look worse than the rest?
Because that is where the foot lands and the pile is bent over a hard nosing, so it takes several times the wear of a floor. It also catches grit off shoes. Cleaning gets the grit out, though flattened pile on a very old stair stays flattened.
Can we use the stairs while they are drying?
Yes, carefully and in bare feet or clean socks rather than shoes or slippers. Damp carpet picks up whatever is on a sole. We leave them damp rather than wet, so a few hours with a window open is usually enough.
Is £35 for the stairs the whole price or per step?
Per flight. Thirteen treads or twenty, straight or turning, the figure is £35. Two separate flights in a house would be quoted as two. The hall and landing are £20 each, or £75 for all three together.

Yes - Arlesey, Fairfield, Astwick, Radwell, Clifton, Henlow, Newnham and Norton, plus Letchworth and Baldock the other way. There is no travel charge, so a village job costs the same as one in the middle of town.
