The National Carpet Cleaners Association was formed in 1968, in order to:

1. Establish minimum, but professional standards within the carpet and upholstery cleaning industry.

2. Provide training for members, in order to achieve the aforementioned standard and keep members abreast of developments such as new chemicals, equipment and new fibres and materials.

3. Ensure that members have adequate public liability insurance.

4. Provide an advisory service, to assist with problems and handle complaints smoothly and promptly, thereby ensuring that all members live up to the Association's motto "SERVICE WITH INTEGRITY".

Question: What is the main benefit of using a member of the NCCA?

Answer: NCCA members are fully trained and insured for the work they carry out. They are members of the only National Trade Association dedicated to carpet and upholstery cleaning. A careful inspection will be made of your carpet and upholstery so that the operator will be aware of the nature of dyes and the type of fibre and construction. Then the security of the fixing of the carpet at its edges and the condition of the seams will be inspected. In the case of upholstery, a check on braids and other trimmings will be made so that you may have every confidence that your valuable carpets and furnishings will be cleaned and cared for in the most professional manner.

All carpet cleaning companies and single operators are being trained and certified by the NCCA in order to apply an industry wide standards when dealing with soft furnishings in the UK.

The NCCA could play the role of an independent arbitrator by providing its unmatched carpet cleaning knowledge, skills and experience to anybody.

What is the Best Method for Cleaning Synthetic or Mixed Fibre Carpets?

Without a doubt, the best professional method to clean a standard synthetic or mixed fibre carpet is the Hot Water Extraction method. This technique, also called Steam Cleaning, is currently the most effective way to deep clean and rinse carpeting. One of the main advantages is less resoiling. An extractor machine deploys a high-pressure jet stream of hot solution sprayed into the carpet fibres. Immediately after, the solution is pumped back into the machine's waste tank via powerful vacuum motors. Some extractors have built-in two motors, and some have three vac motors for amazing results.

While this method is highly recommended for synthetic construction carpets (manmade carpet fibres, e.g. polypropylene). In cases where natural fibre carpeting needs cleaning (Wilton 80/20 twist, 100% wool loop pile, cotton, linen, coir, jute, seagrass), a low moisture method is recommended due to the high risk of damage (shrinkage, cellulosic browning etc.). 

What Methods for Making Carpet Look Like New? 

1. Hot Water Extraction (a.k.a Steam Cleaning)
2. Carpet Encapsulation (low moisture)
3. Crystallising Shampoo using a low-speed Rotary Carpet Machine (low moisture)
4. Bonnet Buffing (low moisture)
5. Dry Foam Carpet Cleaning
6. Odourless Mineral Solvent clean (VLM - very low moisture)

How Often Should You Have Your Carpets Professionally Cleaned?

Whether your carpet is woven or tufted, you should aim to vacuum your carpeted areas at least twice a week (homes with more foot traffic should increase this to three to four times a week). Professional steam cleaning is recommended every twelve months (light foot traffic) or every six months (high foot traffic).

How Much Does Professional Carpet Cleaning Cost?

How much carpet cleaning costs in the UK's capital depends on your carpet type. Usually, methods using dry carpet shampoo (rotary carpet shampoo machine/slow speed rotary floor buffer) or dry chemical compounds (i.e. sponges soaked with Odourless Mineral Solvent and applied via agitating the fibres with a counter-rotating brushing system) cost more due to the more expensive products and process time and difficulty involved. With dry carpet cleaning, you get the benefit of rapid drying time due to the low moisture left in carpets.

Surprisingly, the most popular and most effective carpet method with the least chance of antisoiling is the less expensive option. Please call our office for a bespoke quote for your home or office.

Please note that frequent vacuuming will prolong the life of installed carpets and rugs.

I have a carpet made of natural fibres. Can you clean it?

Yes, we clean natural plant fibre carpets and rugs. If you have sisal, coir, jute (a natural fibre that absorbs water), seagrass etc., these fibres can only be cleaned using a dry cleaning system due to the risk of damage from water.

Please note that due to the fibre construction of these types of carpets, removal of stains is limited (especially in cases of heavily soiled carpets or areas), and it is very unlikely for some stains to be completely removed. We will perform a very thorough cleaning process, and your carpet will be fresh, clean and healthy, although in some cases, stains may have become permanent damage due to the discolouration of the natural carpet fibres.

You must be aware that jute-backed carpet needs to be cleaned with low moisture, even if the fibres are synthetic, due to the risk of shrinkage of the backing.
