Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rug cleaning cost in London?

The cost of rug cleaning depends on the size, material, and condition of the rug. Smaller rugs are generally more affordable, while larger or delicate rugs may require additional care and cost more. Stain removal and specialist treatments can also affect pricing. At Clean Carpets, we provide clear and transparent quotes based on your specific requirements, ensuring there are no hidden charges once the service is complete.

Do you offer same-day or urgent rug cleaning?

We aim to accommodate same-day or urgent rug cleaning requests where possible. This depends on availability, location, and the type of rug requiring cleaning. For urgent situations, such as spills or unexpected needs, we recommend contacting us as early as possible. Our London-based team works flexibly to respond quickly and provide efficient service whenever urgent cleaning is required.

Is your rug cleaning service fully insured?

Yes, our rug cleaning service is fully insured for your peace of mind. We carry public liability insurance to protect your property and goods in transit cover where necessary. Our team is trained to handle all types of rugs safely and professionally. In the unlikely event of an issue, our insurance ensures that you are fully protected throughout the cleaning process.

What is included in a rug cleaning service?

A standard rug cleaning service includes inspection, dust removal, stain treatment, deep cleaning, and controlled drying. The process is tailored to the type of rug and its condition to ensure safe and effective results. Additional treatments can be included if required. The aim is to improve both the appearance and hygiene of your rug while preserving its quality.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking a few days in advance to secure your preferred appointment time, particularly during busy periods. However, we understand that cleaning needs can arise unexpectedly and will do our best to accommodate short-notice requests. For larger or more delicate rugs, earlier booking is advisable to allow for proper planning and handling.

How long does it take for rugs to dry?

Drying times vary depending on the cleaning method, rug material, and environment. In most cases, rugs take between 6 to 12 hours to dry fully. We use professional techniques designed to minimise moisture and speed up drying. Good ventilation and room temperature can help reduce drying time further, allowing the rug to be used again as soon as possible.
