At Ideal Clean Ltd, we use the hot water extraction method, also known as deep steam carpet cleaning.
This industry-leading process injects hot water and cleaning solution deep into carpet fibres, loosening dirt, allergens, and bacteria. Our high-powered machines then extract all contaminants, leaving your carpets and upholstery fresh, clean, and sanitised.
This method is recommended by major carpet manufacturers and delivers the most thorough carpet cleaning in London.
For most homes in London, we recommend professional carpet cleaning every 6–12 months.
Homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic benefit from a clean every 3–6 months to maintain freshness and extend carpet lifespan.
Regular cleaning also improves indoor air quality — ideal for allergy sufferers.
Yes — our steam carpet cleaning service in London is safe for nearly all modern carpet and fabric types.
Before starting, our trained technicians inspect and test materials to ensure the correct pressure, temperature, and cleaning agents are used. We tailor the process for wool, synthetic, and delicate fabrics to guarantee safe and effective results.
Drying times depend on ventilation, fabric type, and humidity:
Carpets: typically 2–6 hours
Upholstery: usually 4–8 hours
