Rooms and hallways
A hallway collects grit from the front path while a lounge wears in lanes between door and sofa, so each gets its own pre-spray. Priced per room and fixed on the phone.
Bedrooms £36 - 02
Stairs and landings
Nosings soil first because every foot turns on the same edge, so each tread is worked with a hand tool. A landing adds £9 to the flight.
Stairs £41 a flight - 03
Rugs
Each colour is dye tested separately, then the rug is cleaned flat on a groundsheet in your home. Viscose pieces get a warning and a gentler method.
Rugs from £35 - 04
Sofas and chairs
The code on the label under the cushions decides between water and solvent. We work at low pressure so the foam underneath stays barely damp.
Sofas from £57
Harrow homes and hard water
Harrow's tap water comes largely from the Chilterns chalk through Affinity Water, and it sits at the very hard end of the scale. Mix that with an alkaline shampoo and you get a film of minerals and detergent that dulls wool and pulls dirt back into the pile within weeks. Every room we clean finishes with a mildly acidic rinse, so nothing alkaline stays behind in the fibre.
Much of our work is in the bay-fronted interwar semis of North Harrow, West Harrow and Rayners Lane. Sun through the bay fades nylon and wool dyes along one side of the front room, and that colour is gone for good; the flattened lane from door to sofa is soil and crushed pile, which recovers well. Where shoes come off at the door there is very little grit, but oil from cooking drifts through the house, settles on the fibres and needs a pre-spray made to break down grease.
On Harrow Hill the approaches are steep, and on parts of West Street and Peterborough Road we cannot stop outside, so the equipment comes up the slope by hand from the nearest legal space. Bays around the town centre and both main stations are permit-only, and for a long job we book a suspension in advance at whatever the council charges.
Near Northwick Park Hospital and the Westminster campus, many houses are let room by room with every bedroom carpeted, and landlords book them one room at a time between tenants.
