Fitted carpet cleaning

Fitted carpet cleaning: it is not the same as cleaning a rug

Fitted carpet is fixed to the floor. You cannot roll it up, throw it in a van and wash it in a workshop. It needs on-site treatment with professional injection-extraction equipment. That is what we do.

The problem

Fitted carpet collects more dirt than you think

Unlike a rug you can shake out or take to be washed, fitted carpet is glued to the floor. Every day it absorbs dust, mites, shoe residue, pet hair and spills that seep down to the backing. Vacuuming only cleans the surface. Over time, the carpet darkens, smells, and becomes a reservoir of allergens.

A vacuum only removes 50-60% of dust, the rest stays embedded in the backing
Dust mites multiply in carpet fibers, especially in bedrooms
Stains that dry untreated become fixed and permanently darken the area
Moisture trapped between carpet and floor can create mold without you noticing
High-traffic areas wear faster when trapped dirt acts as an abrasive between fibers
When you need it

When your fitted carpet needs professional cleaning

Not every carpet needs professional cleaning every month. But there are clear signs it is time.

The original color is no longer recognizable, especially in walkways
There are persistent odors that do not go away with ventilation or air freshener
Someone at home has allergies or respiratory issues that worsen indoors
It has been over 12 months since the last professional cleaning
There are visible stains from spills, pets, or footprints that vacuuming cannot remove
You are selling or renting the property and want the carpet to look presentable
How it works

How we clean your fitted carpet

On-site process, nothing ripped up, fast drying.

01

Deep vacuuming and pre-treatment

We vacuum with industrial equipment to remove all loose dirt. Then we pre-treat stains and heavily soiled areas. This breaks down grease and embedded dirt before the main cleaning.

02

Hot water injection-extraction

We inject hot water with cleaning solution under pressure and extract it immediately along with the dissolved dirt. This method cleans deep without soaking the carpet. The backing is left barely damp.

03

Drying and inspection

We set up forced ventilation to speed up drying. In most cases, the carpet is walkable in 2-4 hours and fully dry in 6-8. We check the result and treat any spots that need extra attention.

Why professional

Why vacuuming or a rental machine is not enough

A household vacuum only removes surface dirt, what is embedded in the backing stays
Rental machines apply too much water and extract too little, the carpet takes days to dry and can develop mold
Supermarket products leave sticky residue that attracts more dirt within weeks
Without hot pressurized water, grease and mites are not removed, just redistributed
A poorly dried carpet smells worse afterwards, moisture activates bacteria in the backing

What we cannot promise

Old stains set in over years can improve significantly, but some will not disappear 100%. High-traffic areas with visible wear will still have flattened fibers after cleaning, cleaning does not regenerate worn fibers. And if the carpet is 15-20 years old and heavily deteriorated, sometimes the best recommendation is to replace it. We tell you before we start.

Services

Types of fitted carpet we clean

Each type of carpet needs adjustments in method, pressure, and temperature.

Residential fitted carpet

Living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways. We remove stains, odors, and accumulated dust. Ideal if it has been over a year since the last deep clean.

Office fitted carpet

High-traffic areas, meeting rooms, and receptions. Office carpet handles heavy footfall but accumulates dirt fast in chair zones.

Commercial fitted carpet

Hotels, shops, and customer-facing spaces. We work outside business hours to avoid disruption. Visible results from the first pass.

Short pile carpet

The most common in offices and corridors. Responds very well to injection-extraction. Stains usually come out easily.

Long pile carpet

Harder to clean because dirt gets between the long fibers. Needs more extraction time and controlled drying.

Carpeted stairs

Stairs are the highest-wear areas. We clean step by step with portable equipment adapted to tight spaces.

FAQ

FAQ about fitted carpet cleaning

What is the difference between cleaning fitted carpet and cleaning a rug?
A rug can be lifted, taken to a workshop, and washed on both sides. Fitted carpet is glued to the floor and can only be cleaned in place, from the visible side. That requires powerful injection-extraction equipment and careful drying control so moisture does not get trapped underneath.
How often should fitted carpet be professionally cleaned?
In homes, once a year is enough for most cases. In high-traffic offices, every 6 months. If you have pets or allergy sufferers, every 6 months at home too.
Do I need to move furniture before cleaning?
Ideally, accessible areas should be clear. Heavy furniture like wardrobes or beds does not need moving, we clean around them. If you want us to clean underneath, let us know in advance and we will organize it.
How long does fitted carpet take to dry?
With our extraction equipment, between 4 and 8 hours. Depends on carpet thickness and room ventilation. We leave fans if needed. You can walk on the carpet carefully after 2-3 hours.
Does carpet cleaning leave the house wet?
No. Injection-extraction applies and removes water in the same pass. The carpet is left damp, not soaked. It does not splash or wet surrounding furniture.
Can pet stains on fitted carpet be removed?
Visible stains, yes, in most cases. Odor requires enzymatic treatment reaching the backing. If urine has soaked through to the floor underneath, the carpet alone cannot fix that, the floor needs treatment too.
