If you’re looking for carpet cleaning in Bath, you’re probably asking the same questions most homeowners do:
What will it cost?
How long will it take?
How long until it’s dry?
Will it actually remove stains and smells?
Here’s a straight-talking guide to help you book with confidence and get the best possible result.
Most professional carpet cleaning is priced by size, condition, and carpet type.
As a general guide, carpet cleaning is typically £4–£7 per sq.m.
A few things that can affect the quote:
Wool vs synthetic carpets (wool needs a safer, more controlled approach)
Staining and traffic lanes (heavily used areas take more work)
Pet odours (often needs specialist treatment)
Access and parking (Bath can be tight in places)
We also have a minimum order value of £80.
A proper clean is more than “a quick run over with a machine”. A good job follows a repeatable process.
We check the carpet type, wear, staining, and any risks (especially with wool, natural fibres, and older carpets).
Dry grit is one of the biggest causes of long-term wear. We remove it first so it doesn’t turn into mud during cleaning.
We apply the right solution for the job (not a one-size-fits-all chemical). This helps break down oils, traffic marks, and general soiling.
For many carpets, hot water extraction is the gold standard. It rinses out soil and residues rather than just masking the issue.
For wool carpets, we use a safer approach and keep water temperature controlled.
Some spots improve massively; others may lighten but not fully disappear depending on the stain type and how long it’s been there.
We’ll talk you through drying, ventilation, and how to keep it looking good.
As a rough guide:
Single room: around 1 hour
Full house: around 5–7 hours
Times vary depending on condition, access, and how much furniture needs moving.
Drying time depends on airflow, temperature, carpet thickness, and how soiled it was.
To speed things up:
Keep the room well ventilated
Put the heating on low/steady (if needed)
Avoid walking on it until it’s touch-dry
If you’ve got kids, pets, or a busy household, tell us when booking and we’ll plan the clean to suit.
Often, yes—but it depends on what you’re dealing with.
Tea/coffee
Wine
Mud and traffic lanes
Makeup and tanning products
Pet accidents
Some stains are “set” (especially if they’ve been treated with the wrong product or left for a long time). We’ll always be honest about what’s realistic.
If the smell is in the underlay or subfloor, it may need more than a surface clean. We can advise the best route once we know the situation.
Bath has plenty of period properties and higher-end interiors—meaning we often see wool carpets, delicate fibres, and rugs.
Wool needs a safer, more controlled clean to avoid:
Shrinkage
Texture change
Browning or colour issues
Over-wetting
If you’re not sure what your carpet is made from, we can identify it during inspection.
