Wells, with its stunning cathedral and historic charm, is home to many beautiful properties – from period cottages near the cathedral close to modern family homes in the surrounding areas. After 35 years of cleaning carpets across Somerset, we've learned that Wells homeowners face unique challenges when it comes to carpet care.
Why Wells Homes Need Special Carpet Care Attention
Living in Wells means dealing with specific factors that affect your carpets:
Historic Properties: Many Wells homes feature original features and older construction, which can mean higher humidity levels and unique ventilation challenges that affect carpet condition.
Tourist Footfall: Properties near the cathedral and city center experience higher foot traffic, especially during peak tourist seasons.
Somerset Clay: The local soil composition means mud and dirt tracked into homes has particular staining properties that require professional knowledge to remove effectively.
Variable Weather: Wells' position in Somerset means carpets face everything from wet winters to dusty summers, creating year-round cleaning challenges.
The WOOLSAFE Difference: Why It Matters for Wells Homeowners
As the only WOOLSAFE-approved operator in the Mendip area, we've seen firsthand how incorrect cleaning can damage valuable carpets. WOOLSAFE certification means:
- Manufacturer-Approved Methods: We use techniques recommended by Axminster, Brintons, and Wilton – brands commonly found in Wells' quality homes
- Wool-Safe Products: Essential for the wool carpets often found in period properties
- Proper pH Balance: Prevents color bleeding and fiber damage
- Professional Equipment: Our Prochem Steammax Pro machines provide the deep cleaning power needed without over-wetting
