Regular carpet maintenance is essential for keeping the fabric in good shape. At Dayco, we follow the PAS 86:2008 Code of Practice, developed by the National Carpet Cleaning Association (NCCA) with input from the British Standards Institute (BSI).

Our carpet cleaning process includes three steps:
We consider the type of carpet fibres and their condition to determine the best cleaning method—whether it’s preventive, corrective, or salvage cleaning. We use appropriate cleaning agents and equipment for each situation.
After cleaning, we check the carpet’s pH level to ensure it meets the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) standards.

Carpet cleaning restores the appearance, hygiene, and lifespan of carpets in both business and home environments. Although the core methods are similar, expectations and requirements differ slightly between commercial and residential settings.
Commercial carpet cleaning is essential in various settings, including offices and meeting rooms, hotels and hospitality venues, retail spaces such as shops and salons, educational institutions such as schools and colleges, and restaurants and cafés. Additionally, maintaining cleanliness in healthcare facilities and care homes is crucial to ensuring a safe and welcoming environment for all.
Our services are designed to minimise disruption by completing work outside of regular business hours, ensuring fast-drying solutions that significantly reduce downtime.
We prioritise health and safety compliance in every project and offer regular maintenance plans tailored to your needs, whether monthly, quarterly, or annually. With the capability to manage large areas and high footfall, we provide efficient and reliable solutions for all your needs.
Residential carpet cleaning is essential for maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in various areas of the home, including living rooms and lounges, bedrooms, hallways, and stair carpets. It also extends to rugs and runners, ensuring that every surface is fresh and inviting. Often, upholstery cleaning is done simultaneously, providing a comprehensive cleaning solution that enhances the overall appearance and comfort of the living space.
When it comes to maintaining a clean home, several factors are essential. One crucial aspect is the safe moving and repositioning of furniture to ensure that all areas of the carpet are properly cleaned.
Using family and pet-safe cleaning solutions helps create a healthy space for everyone, while gentle handling of delicate carpet fibres protects them from damage.
Flexible appointment times with Dayco Cleaning make it easier to fit professional cleaning into your busy schedule, ultimately contributing to a fresh and inviting home.
From routine vacuuming to deep cleaning, here’s a list of typical carpet cleaning tasks we do day to day. Each task plays a crucial role in prolonging carpet life and enhancing the comfort of any environment.
A deep cleaning method that uses hot water and cleaning solutions to break down dirt and grime in the carpet.
A cleaning technique that uses less water and encapsulating agents to trap dirt particles, which are then hoovered away.
Targeted treatment to eliminate specific stains and spots from the carpet, often using specialised cleaning solutions.
The process of neutralising odours and applying disinfectants to maintain a clean and fresh-smelling environment.
Specific cleaning and maintenance techniques are applied to high-traffic areas to restore their appearance.
Special methods for removing sticky substances such as chewing gum or tape residue from carpets.
Tailoring the cleaning approach based on the type of carpet fibre to ensure effective cleaning without damage.
Assessing and specifically targeting stains with appropriate methods and solutions.
Techniques designed to eliminate odours and stains caused by pets, using enzymatic and neutralising products.
A thorough cleaning process aimed at reducing allergens, using hypoallergenic products and techniques.
Applying a protective coating to carpets to help repel stains and extend their lifespan.
Cleaning your carpet helps it last longer by removing dirt that damages the fibres. It also improves hygiene by removing allergens, bacteria, and spills. A clean carpet makes your space look better, whether it’s at home or work. It reduces smells caused by pets, food, moisture, or heavy foot traffic.
Carpet hygiene is especially important for people with allergies, as it supports their health and well-being.
Hot Water Extraction (HWE) machines and carpet shampooers are the most effective cleaning methods. Our specialist machines are designed for deep fibre cleaning, making them excellent for tackling stains, allergens, and odours.
HWE machines are versatile and suitable for both residential and commercial cleaning tasks. By using a heated solution sprayed under pressure, followed by powerful vacuum extraction, they ensure a thorough, efficient clean.
Hot Water Extraction (HWE) is a carpet cleaning method that combines hot water and cleaning solutions. It pushes these into the carpet fibres to lift out dirt, which is then removed by a vacuum. The HWE method is often called “steam cleaning.” Hot water extraction is our most common and effective method for deep-cleaning carpets. It flushes the fibres with a heated solution and quickly extracts the dirt.
Encapsulation cleaning is a carpet cleaning method that uses a special solution to remove dirt and stains. The encapsulation method helps the carpet dry faster and is less expensive than steam cleaning. It is a low-moisture method that is often used in commercial spaces, making it ideal for routine maintenance cleaning.
Carpet bonnet cleaning, also known as spin pad cleaning or absorbent pad cleaning, is a method that adapts hard floor cleaning to carpets. It is usually used in hotels for quick turnarounds.
Dry compound cleaning is a carpet cleaning method. It uses a biodegradable cleaning agent in granule form. You apply this agent to the carpet and work it into the fibres with a mechanical brush. The compound absorbs dirt and can then be vacuumed away. The dry compound cleaning method is great for carpets that are sensitive to moisture or are delicate.
When considering the frequency of deep cleaning, consider the specific environment and usage patterns.
For high-traffic commercial spaces, a regular deep clean every month to quarter is recommended to maintain a fresh and sanitary atmosphere.
In contrast, standard commercial properties may only require a thorough clean every 6 to 12 months, depending on their usage.
For residential homes, especially those with pets or children, a more frequent cleaning schedule of every 6 to 9 months is advisable to keep up with the extra dirt and allergens.
Standard residential spaces typically benefit from deep cleaning every 12 to 18 months.
The appropriate frequency for deep cleaning will vary based on traffic, usage, and individual needs, ensuring that each space remains healthy and inviting.
Additionally, we offer hard-floor cleaning alongside carpet cleaning for a complete clean. Trust us to bring a spotless shine to your living spaces!
