Commercial cleaning case study

How We Clean Pub Carpets and Upholstery

At this pub, we cleaned the checked carpet around the bench seating and the fabric on the chair seats. Our photos show how we made room to reach the carpet and switched tools to clean the upholstery.

Making room to reach the carpet

We start by checking the carpet’s material and condition, with particular attention to the places guests use most. That often means the route from the entrance and the floor where chairs and stools get pulled out. Here, moving the loose seating gave us room to reach the carpet along the wall-side benches.

Loosening and extracting soil from the carpet

For carpets suited to hot water extraction, we remove loose grit, apply a pre-treatment and agitate the pile to loosen embedded dirt. We then work across the carpet with an extraction wand. The wand rinses the pile and draws the used solution back out, including along the edge of the seating where the floor is easy to miss.

Cleaning fabric chair seats

We check the upholstery fabric and any marks before choosing how to clean it. Where extraction is suitable, a smaller hand tool gives us more control across the seat and around the edges and seams.

Planning a clean around opening hours

The best slot gives us time to clean and allows the carpet and seats to dry before guests return. We’ll discuss access, which furniture can be moved and how much drying time to allow. The materials, airflow and room conditions all affect drying.

When asking for a quote, send your postcode, a wide photo of each area, the number of seats you’d like cleaned and a close-up of any marks. Include the earliest time we can get in and when the room needs to be ready for service.
