Our Carpet Shampooing Service uses professional-grade foam to lift surface dirt and brighten fibres. A traditional method ideal for lightly soiled carpets needing a visible refresh without deep moisture penetration.
There is a significant difference between renting a supermarket shampoo machine and engaging a professional who understands fibre behaviour, moisture control, and residue management. This method relies on skill, not just equipment. Where it fits: carpet shampooing is neither the deepest clean available nor the quickest-drying. It occupies the middle ground – more thorough than dry compound cleaning, less penetrating than hot water extraction. Experienced technicians recommend it selectively, not universally.
Professional Cleaning Method — We apply a low-moisture foam using a rotary machine with a specialised shampoo brush. The foam encapsulates surface soil, which is then agitated to release dirt trapped near the fibre tips. A wand-extraction follow-up removes the majority of the foam and suspended soil. This is not a soak-and-vac operation; moisture levels remain carefully controlled throughout.
Surface-Level Results — Visually, carpet shampooing improves appearance noticeably. Fibres become brighter, light traffic marks lift, and overall freshness returns. However, the foam does not penetrate deep into the carpet backing or reach particulate matter settled at the base of the fibres. If your concern is embedded grit or odours trapped below the surface, this method has clear limitations.
Drying & After-Care — Expect drying times longer than encapsulation but shorter than standard steam cleaning. The critical factor here is residue. If shampoo isn’t fully extracted, it remains in the carpet and accelerates resoiling. Professional application includes thorough rinsing and extraction to minimise this risk. We also advise clients to avoid walking on treated areas until completely dry and to ventilate the room where possible.
A traditional cleaning method that uses specialised foam to lift surface dirt and refresh carpet fibres. Carpet shampooing remains one of the original professional cleaning approaches, developed decades before low-moisture or encapsulation systems entered the market.
Ideal when carpets look tired but don't yet require a full restorative clean.
Generally less expensive than deep steam cleaning, making it accessible for regular upkeep.
Adds brightness and lifts surface dirt without saturating the carpet backing.
Dries faster than steam cleaning, which helps during humid or rainy weather.
Perfect for bedrooms, formal lounges, or areas that don’t receive heavy foot traffic.
Can be appropriate where excessive moisture poses a risk, such as certain wool blends or older carpet installations.
We do not apply shampoo to every carpet that comes through the door. The decision begins with assessment, and every step that follows depends on what the carpet actually needs.
We examine fibre type, backing construction, traffic patterns, and current soil load. This determines whether shampooing is appropriate or whether a different method would deliver a better result.
Pricing reflects carpet condition and the time required to treat it properly. Lightly soiled carpets generally cost less; heavily soiled areas or extra spot treatment increase time on site. Method selection influences the final figure, which is why transparent assessment matters. We provide clear, fixed quotes based on what your carpet actually needs – not a one-size-fits-all number.

What is a Carpet Shampooing Service?
A traditional foam-based cleaning method that lifts surface dirt from carpet fibres using professional-grade shampoo, mechanical agitation, and controlled extraction.
Is a Carpet Shampooing Service suitable for wool carpets?
How long does a Carpet Shampooing Service take to dry?
Will a Carpet Shampooing Service remove pet odours?
We explain what we found and why. If the carpet is heavily soiled, stained, or harbouring deep allergens, we recommend another service. This is professional judgement, not an upsell.
Light marking or isolated areas receive gentle pre-treatment before the main application. This step is selective, not automatic.
We apply professional-grade shampoo foam using a rotary machine with a soft brush. The foam encapsulates surface soil; agitation releases it from the fibre tips. Extraction follows immediately to remove suspended dirt and minimise residue.
We confirm the carpet is left clean, not wet. Drying guidance is provided, and we walk through the room with you to ensure the result meets both our standard and your expectations.
