Carpet cleaning in Battersea
Most of what we lift out of a Battersea carpet is fine dust that has sunk below the reach of a household vacuum. We rinse it out by hot water extraction, then get air moving through the room so the pile is dry by the evening.

Drying a Battersea flat
Housing in Battersea runs from split Victorian terraces off Northcote Road and Lavender Hill to the mansion blocks on Prince of Wales Drive and the towers at Nine Elms, and each kind dries differently. In a conversion with the original boards under the carpet, air rises through the gaps and leaves grey lines along the skirting and under the doors. That is fine dust the pile has filtered out. It fades a lot with a proper rinse, though the oldest lines rarely vanish.
In the older flats, open the sash top and bottom by a few inches: damp air leaves through the upper gap and drier air comes in low. Where tower windows only open on a restrictor, leave the extract fans running and the internal doors open.
SW11 gets hard water from Thames Water. On pale wool we keep the detergent light and the rinse thorough, because leftover residue grabs dust and dulls the colour within weeks.
Almost every street here is in a Wandsworth controlled parking zone, so if the van needs a bay we say so when you book and charge what it costs. Some Nine Elms buildings want a loading slot booked a fortnight ahead, and we quote those jobs with that in mind.

Where the dust settles
- 01
Rooms and hallways
A slow dry vacuum goes over every room before the hot rinse, because wet dust turns to paste. Hallways take the street grit and are given a second pass.
Bedrooms £36 - 02
Stairs and landings
Dust packs into the back corner of each tread, out of reach of an upright vacuum. Every step gets the hand tool, and the landing is priced on its own.
Stairs £41 a flight - 03
Rugs
Grit sifts right through a rug onto the boards beneath. We vacuum the back to shake it loose, test the dyes, then rinse the rug flat.
Rugs from £35 - 04
Sofas and chairs
Seat cushions breathe in room dust every time someone sits down. A low-moisture clean lifts it out, and the sofa is usable again by teatime.
Sofas from £57
