Typical drying time: up to 6 hours
Survey
We check the fibre, fitting and condition of each carpet and note any stains before we start. Furniture legs go onto protective pads and door frames are guarded.
Pre-treat
Dry soil is vacuumed out first, because water turns it to mud. A pre-spray matched to wool or synthetic fibre is applied and agitated in.
Hot water extraction
Remaining spots are treated individually, then the carpet is rinsed and extracted at controlled heat. A citrus deodoriser goes in with the final rinse.
Dry and finish
An air mover is left running to speed up drying and the pile is groomed in one direction. Scotchgard goes on now if you’ve asked for it.
Professional kit we use: Prochem, Host, RotoVac, Kärcher

“We bought a new house and Anyclean did the end of tenancy and carpet cleaning the day before we moved in.
The previous owners left the place messy, food stuff caked into crevices, an oven I didn’t want to open and mould around the bathrooms. We moved in and Anyclean have done a fantastic job. It feels like we can make this our home and a usable oven. For us it’s more than just a clean, it’s a fresh start. Thank you.”

“The job was last saturday and the Any Clean guy, Dimitar, arrived puntucally at 0930 and worked flat out for four hours without a break to get all the job done – it was clearing, cleaning and jet washing our outdoor areas and windows and one low roof after construction work next door made it a real mess. The job was excellent. Would recommend”

“Anyclean have been cleaning my windows and carpets for more than 15 years. They have always provided an excellent service – extremely friendly and utterly professional. Today, Alex cleaned my windows. They are absolutely sparkling. Truly, I have never seen such immaculate work. He really took his time, and the results are outstanding. I could not recommend the company and Alex more highly! Just brilliant!”

“Book a EOT cleaning services. Deya was very professional and helpful for the booking. Very accommodating with time scheduling and payments options. The two ladies who came to clean were extremely accurate and quick. The house was shining and I had my deposit back. Highly recommend and I will definitely call them for my other flat. Never been happier with a cleaning service.”
“I continue to be very happy with the service provided by Anyclean: my previous cleaner left and my new cleaner Elvira speaks good English, and has cleaned my house, impeccably well. Thank you so much!”

“Anyclean sent Alex today to do our kitchen/dining sloping glass roof cleaning on the outside and, for the first time, on the inside too. We had been worried about the inside drips and dirt landing on the wood floor etc. but a combination of our room preparation and his very professional cleaning care all went much better than we dared hope.”

Cleaning Carpets Across Lewisham
Lewisham's housing changes every few streets, and carpets wear differently in each type of home. Long Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Brockley, Ladywell and Hither Green still have their original staircases, usually covered with a wool or wool-mix runner. Traffic lanes form on those runners long before the rest of the house shows any wear. In Blackheath, the Georgian houses and the 1950s and 60s Span homes tend to have pale fitted carpet throughout. That carpet looks tired fast once children, dogs and the heath's muddy paths get to it. We clean all of these in place, with a pre-spray matched to the fibre, so wool stays soft and keeps its colour.
Elsewhere in the borough, many homes are flats. There are converted period houses with steep shared stairs and no lift, council and housing association blocks from New Cross to Bellingham, and newer towers around Lewisham Gateway, Catford and the Deptford riverside, where you book a lift and check in with the concierge. Each visit starts with a quick survey of fibre, fitting and access before we use any water, so there are no surprises on the day. Diaries fill quickly before Christmas and at the end of tenancies, so book early if you have a date to hit.

Access and parking
Controlled parking zones cover much of Lewisham, including the town centre, Blackheath, Deptford, Brockley, Catford and the streets around the stations. Hours vary from zone to zone. The A2, A20, A21 and the South Circular through Catford are red routes, so you can't stop outside even briefly.
When you book, we'll ask about permits and arrange a visitor permit or bay suspension where needed. For top-floor flats, or if the van can't park close, we carry a portable extraction unit upstairs rather than run hoses from the street.

Blackheath
Georgian townhouses near the Village have tall stairs and good wool carpets. Eric Lyons' Span estates have open-plan rooms and pale fitted carpet. Mud from the heath gets into both. We use gentle, fibre-matched cleaning and work around original joinery.

Carpet cleaning in SydenhamCarpet Cleaning in Lewisham: Your Questions Answered
Practical answers about the homes, buildings and carpets we clean every week across Lewisham.
Can you clean a stair runner in a Victorian or Edwardian house without lifting it?
Yes – most of the runners we clean in Brockley, Ladywell and Hither Green stay in place. We work from the top step down and give the nosings and landing turns extra attention, because that's where the dirt builds up. On wool we use a fibre-safe pre-spray, and we keep moisture low enough that the runner won't shrink away from its rods or tacks. Where old tack strips are loose or the runner is already fraying, we'll tell you before we start.
Do you clean carpets in Lewisham's council and housing association flats?
Regularly. Whether you're a tenant, a leaseholder or a landlord, we clean flats in blocks across the borough, from New Cross to Bellingham. They often have narrow stairwells, small or busy lifts and nowhere to park nearby. We bring compact portable kit, protect the shared hallways on the way in and out, and fit the visit around any rules your building or housing provider has about contractors.
What do I need to arrange for a visit to a new-build flat in Deptford, Lewisham Gateway or Catford?
Usually very little. Let us know if the building has a concierge, a booking system for the service lift, or a loading bay. We'll send our technicians' details in advance so the front desk is expecting us. Many of these flats have pale synthetic carpet in the bedrooms, which responds well to a low-moisture clean and is normally dry within a few hours.
Will cleaning bring back the colour on a carpet that's faded or worn?
Some of it, often more than people expect. Much of what looks like fading is really grime dulling the fibres. Lifting it out usually restores the brightness, especially in hallways and doorways. True sun bleaching and worn-flat pile are different: they're physical damage, and no cleaning can reverse them. The technician will point out which is which at the start, so you know exactly what result to expect.
Can you get rid of red wine, coffee or candle wax that's been there for weeks?
Often, yes. Old stains are harder than fresh ones but rarely hopeless. Red wine and coffee usually respond to a targeted tannin treatment. Wax comes out with gentle heat and absorbent pads before any wet cleaning. Bleach marks or damage from home remedies can't be removed, because the colour has gone from the fibre. Tell us what caused each mark and we'll pick the right treatment.
Should I clean my carpets before or after decorating?
After. Painting, sanding and moving furniture bring dust, drips and footprints, even with dust sheets down. Book your carpet clean once the decorators have finished and the furniture is back in place. That way the clean is the last job and the carpet stays fresh for longer. If you're decorating to sell or re-let, we can usually fit the clean in just before photographs or viewings.
