Cleaning carpets in Willington
Willington sits down in the Wear valley with fields and river paths on the doorstep, and from October to March that means two things walk into every house here: wet mud and leaf mould. They look similar on a carpet and they behave nothing alike, which is worth knowing before anybody reaches for a cloth.
Mud is the easy one, as long as you do nothing. Dry mud is just soil and it vacuums out almost completely. Wet mud smeared with a cloth covers three times the area and goes into the backing. Walking past it for a day feels wrong and is by a wide margin the better plan.
Leaf mould is the awkward one. It is rotting organic matter, it carries tannin, and tannin is a dye - so it marks rather than deposits, and it will not simply vacuum away once it has dried. That needs a pre-treatment aimed at tannin, which is why it helps to tell us what came in rather than letting us guess.

Willington questions
The things people in Willington ask us most often.
Should I clean mud off straight away or leave it?
Leave it to dry completely, then vacuum thoroughly. Attacking wet mud with a cloth spreads it over a far larger area and drives it into the backing, which turns an easy job into a difficult one.
What are the brown marks that appear after the leaves come down?
Tannin from leaf mould. It is a dye rather than a soil deposit, so vacuuming will not shift it and ordinary detergent often will not either. It needs a pre-treatment made for tannin.
Is Willington covered at the same price as Crook?
Exactly the same. Willington, Crook, Hunwick, Sunnybrow, Oakenshaw, Brancepeth, Byers Green, Helmington Row, Page Bank and Howden-le-Wear are all DL15 and all free of travel charges. There is no call-out fee anywhere in the valley either.
We walk the dog along the river every day - how often should we clean?
Every nine to twelve months for the hall, stairs and the room the dog sleeps in. A household bringing the outside in daily is genuinely harder on a carpet than an average one and worth treating that way.
