Better Maid cleans carpets, rugs and stair runners across London, in Georgian conversions, mansion blocks and new-build apartments alike. We match the method to the fibre rather than running one machine over everything, so wool and natural fibres get low-moisture treatment and synthetics get full hot water extraction. Most carpets are dry and back in use within 2 to 4 hours.

We identify the fibre, check colourfastness on a hidden section, and look at wear, backing and stain type. This decides the method. It takes a few minutes and it is the step that prevents the expensive mistakes.
Dry soil comes out first, because wet dirt turns to mud. Then eco-friendly pre-treatment goes down to break up grease, traffic lanes and stains, and it is given time to work rather than being rushed.
Hot water extraction for synthetics and heavily soiled floors. Low-moisture or dry compound for wool, silk, sisal and viscose. Spot treatments go on stubborn marks individually, and deodoriser is applied where pets or odours are the issue.
We rinse until the water runs clear, groom the pile so it dries evenly, and walk the job with you. If anything is not right, we re-clean it free.
We have been cleaning for London households and businesses since 2020. Carpet is the part of a property people notice last and regret longest, so we would rather do it properly than quickly.
The method fits the fibre
Hot water extraction, low-moisture encapsulation and dry compound cleaning are all different tools for different floors. We carry all three. Plenty of operators carry one and use it on everything.
Trained, insured, DBS-checked technicians
Every technician is background-checked, reference-verified and covered by our public liability insurance before they set foot in your property.
Eco-friendly, child and pet safe
Non-toxic, biodegradable solutions throughout. Safe around children, pets and allergy sufferers, which matters most in exactly the rooms carpets live in.
Carpets back in use the same day
Quick-dry across the board. 2 to 4 hours on most jobs, and near-immediate on dry compound work.
Honest pricing, no upsells on the day
You get a quote before we start and that is the number you pay. No discovering halfway through that your stairs are extra.
What sits on the floor in a London property depends almost entirely on when the building went up, and it changes how the carpet should be cleaned. Using the wrong method is how carpets shrink, brown or come back dirtier than before.
A Georgian conversion in Chelsea is probably wool, with a runner fixed to a staircase that turns twice. A new-build off the Isle of Dogs is polypropylene loop pile and will take everything we've got. Same city, two completely different jobs, and treating one like the other is the quickest way to ruin a carpet. So we find out what's actually underfoot before anything gets plugged in.
Wool, sisal and seagrass shrink or brown if you soak them, so they get low moisture and a light touch. Synthetics take the full hot water treatment and come up better for it. Rugs get checked first, because viscose looks like silk and marks permanently the moment it's cleaned wet. And since London water is hard, the rinse matters as much as the wash. Detergent left in the pile pulls dirt straight back in, which is why a badly cleaned carpet can look worse a month later than it did before. We rinse until the water runs clear.

It depends on the number of rooms, the fibre, and how much stain work is involved. Stairs and rugs are priced separately because they take longer per square metre than open floor. We give you a fixed quote before we start, and it does not change on the day. For typical London price ranges, see our carpet cleaning cost guide.
Yes, and they need different handling. Wool, sisal, seagrass and jute are cleaned with low-moisture methods because soaking them risks shrinkage and browning. We check the fibre before we choose the method. If you have wool, say so when you book and we will send the right kit.
Carefully, and only after we have identified the fibre. Viscose looks like silk but behaves nothing like it and marks permanently if it is cleaned wet. It is common in London rentals. This is the single most frequent rug we see ruined by a general cleaner.
Typically 2 to 4 hours after hot water extraction, and longer in a period flat with poor ventilation or on a humid day. Dry compound cleaning is walkable almost immediately. We groom the pile before we leave, which speeds drying and stops it drying unevenly.
Steam cleaning, properly called hot water extraction, injects hot water and solution deep into the pile and extracts it along with the dirt. It is the most thorough method and it suits synthetics and heavily soiled floors. Low-moisture cleaning uses a compound or encapsulant with very little water, which suits wool, silk, sisal and viscose, and gets a commercial floor back in use fast.
Yes. Non-toxic and biodegradable throughout, safe for children, pets and allergy sufferers. If someone in the property has a specific sensitivity, tell us at booking and we will adjust.
