Deep Carpet Cleaning in York & Harrogate – Combining Steam and Advanced Cleaning Formulas

The preferred method for dealing with heavily soiled carpets in York and Harrogate is Hot Water Extraction — often called Steam Cleaning or Deep Carpet Cleaning. Professionally chosen solutions, safe for both children and pets, work exceptionally well on stubborn marks, including drink and food spills, makeup, blood, urine and even paint.

How Our Deep Carpet Cleaning Works

We use gentle, fabric-safe detergents to break down and release embedded dirt from the fibres. Once the soil is loosened, it is flushed out using a high-performance extraction machine that delivers hot water/steam together with exceptionally strong vacuum power. This process removes the dirt, the cleaning agents and any remaining residues, leaving your carpet clean, refreshed and free from chemicals. The effectiveness of this approach is outstanding, which is why it remains our go-to method for the majority of homes in York and Harrogate.

The latest technology – an investment that truly pays off.

We consistently invest in the most advanced cleaning technology available. Our teams work with high-performance extraction units, professional agitators, low-moisture bonnet systems, precision sprayers, specialist brushes and pads, UV inspection lights, and a wide selection of dedicated stain-removal agents for more complex issues.

Expert stain removal and odour neutralisation for heavily affected carpets in York and Harrogate.

Trust Cleaner provides expert pet stain and odour treatment for carpets in homes across York and Harrogate. As a lifelong dog owner, Mark knows that accidents are simply part of everyday life — and when they happen on carpets, the results can be serious if the fibres aren’t treated properly.

Our specialist approach targets urine at a molecular level, breaking it down, neutralising the compounds that damage fibres and extracting it fully. On wool carpets — where staining is especially persistent — we use gentle oxidising solutions supported by UV light activation. This careful method often brings even badly affected areas back to a clean, natural and refreshed appearance.

Carpet Cleaning FAQ

The most common question you can ask
How much does it cost?
We’re unable to give a reliable estimate without more details. Our minimum charge is £80. For a quick quote, call us on 07340544554 , use the chat, or send a message via the form below. We can provide a quote without a home visit, helping keep your costs lower.
Will you remove all the stains from the carpet?
This is always our main goal, and in most cases we achieve it. However, some stains are permanent because the fibres—especially natural ones like wool—have been damaged. There are methods that work even on wool carpets, but it’s important to understand that in certain situations a stain simply cannot be removed. To confirm this, a test is required. Without carrying out a test, we cannot give a 100% guarantee either way.
Will my carpets be very wet?
Our method uses liquid-based cleaning, which is the most effective approach for deep carpet cleaning. However, it does leave the carpet damp. In cases of heavier soiling, we may need to rinse the carpet 2–3 times, which can extend the drying time. In summer, carpets often dry within 2–3 hours; in winter, drying may take 5–8 hours.
What should I prepare before your arrival?
First and foremost, we need access to water and electricity. If there is no power or water, we will not be able to perform the service. Vacuuming is not required, as we always do this as part of our service. This allows us to conduct a proper inspection and identify areas that need special attention. We usually recommend that clients remove small items, plants, and smaller pieces of furniture if possible, to make as much space available as possible.
Do you move furniture?
We always try to move furniture whenever possible. Sofas, tables, chairs and smaller pieces are never a problem. If an item is too heavy or unsafe to move, we work around it and clean the accessible areas. To make things easier, it’s helpful to empty any cabinets or units that need to be moved — this keeps your belongings safe and makes the furniture lighter. These preparations should be done before our arrival. In some cases, moving furniture isn’t necessary. The carpet underneath is usually in very good condition, and placing heavy furniture back immediately can block airflow, slowing down the drying process in that spot.
Do you dry the carpets after cleaning?
As part of our standard cleaning service, we do not dry carpets after cleaning. This is a premium option. It takes additional time, thereby increasing the cost of the service. Almost always, carpets are able to dry naturally without any issues. Often, cleaners claim they dry the carpet but only set up fans for a few minutes, which is more of a marketing tactic than actual drying. We use equipment for water damage restoration—powerful dryers and dehumidifiers. The dryers help with air circulation, while the dehumidifiers remove excess moisture, allowing us to control the microclimate of your room and ensure the optimal conditions for the fastest carpet drying. This service is priced individually.
How long does the job take to complete?
Depending on the scope of work, our service usually takes anywhere from around 40 minutes for a single room or a standard staircase with good access, up to about 3 hours for larger jobs such as multiple rooms or sofas. We work in two-person teams, which means everything is completed efficiently and without unnecessary delays.
Do we have to be present in the house ?
No, we only need access to your property. We can leave the key in the agreed place, and the payment can be made by bank transfer.
Do you vacuum the carpets first?
Yes, this is part of our standard procedure. We always vacuum the carpet thoroughly before we begin the cleaning process.
Do you require any deposit?
No, we don’t require a deposit. However, your booking is a verbal agreement. If you need to cancel, please let us know as soon as possible — ideally at least 24 hours in advance.
How do I pay for the servce?
Cash or bank transfer after completion.
Do you work weekends and after hours?
Yes, we work on Saturdays, and on Sundays when necessary. We offer flexible appointments to all customers.

Encapsulation – A Smart Alternative to Dry Cleaning

Many clients ask for a “dry carpet cleaning service”, even when it isn’t the right option for their carpets. The reason is simple — they worry that their carpets will stay wet for too long. When the level of soiling and the type of carpet clearly indicate that extraction is the safest and most effective method, we always explain that, when carried out properly, it does not cause any drying issues. For carpets that aren’t heavily soiled, we often choose low-moisture cleaning instead. This involves applying a self-neutralising detergent that breaks down the dirt, followed by agitation using a rotary machine with specialist pads. The pads absorb the loosened soil, leaving the carpet exceptionally clean with minimal moisture.

Dry Cleaning Only

However, there are situations where a carpet requires dry cleaning only, and in those cases we always follow the correct method. This applies to carpets made from fibres that cannot come into contact with water. These materials are cleaned using a specialist dry compound, which contains solvent-based cleaning agents capable of breaking down soil without moisture. The compound is carried by micro-sponges that absorb the dissolved dirt, leaving the carpet safely and effectively cleaned without using water.

What is inculded in standard carpet cleaning Service

Carpet cleaning Service in details

Our carpet cleaning service consists of several key elements that we always prioritise. These come as a standard package when you choose us. In addition to the cleaning process itself, our package includes several extra steps.

Vacuuming your carpets before the wet cleaning process begins.

Even if the client has already vacuumed their carpets, we always do it again. Everyone has different vacuuming techniques, some more thorough than others, and, of course, we all use different equipment. Our professional vacuuming ensures the best possible preparation before the deep cleaning process begins.

Moving furniture

We always try to move any furniture that can be safely relocated. This is our standard practice.

Grooming and Deodorising after cleaning procedure

As part of our service, we carefully groom the carpet to restore its fibres and enhance its appearance. We also apply a deodoriser to leave your carpets smelling fresh and clean

When We Go Beyond Standard Cleaning

Additional Services

Sometimes, a deep carpet cleaning procedure is not enough, or the client requests additional steps to extend the service.

Advanced Stain Removal Service

There are situations where deep cleaning alone is not enough. Some stains are so persistent that their removal does not depend on the power of the machine or the strength of the cleaning solution used in the process. Instead, specialised techniques are required, such as the use of oxidisers, UV-activated chemicals, or advanced solutions that go beyond standard deep cleaning and enter the realm of specialised chemical expertise.

Drying carpets or water damage restoration 

We have the capability to dry carpets after cleaning; however, this step can be  included in addition to our standard service. We also provide water damage restoration, including flood recovery. These services are time-consuming, require specialised equipment i.e fans and dehumidifires, and in cases of severe water damage, often involve lifting the carpet to ensure thorough drying and restoration.

Carpet Protector

To extend the cleanliness and longevity of your carpets, we offer a professional carpet protector treatment. This invisible shield helps repel dirt, spills, and stains, making future cleaning easier and preventing deep-seated damage. Ideal for high-traffic areas, homes with children, or pet owners, our carpet protector ensures your carpets stay fresher for longer.
