Find answers to common questions about our carpet cleaning services in Manchester
Drying time depends on several factors including carpet material, thickness, humidity levels, and ventilation. Typically, carpets cleaned with hot water extraction take 6-12 hours to dry completely. Synthetic fibres dry faster than natural materials like wool.
We use industrial-grade extraction equipment that removes up to 95% of moisture during the process. To speed up drying, we recommend opening windows, using fans, and maintaining room temperature between 18-21°C. In Manchester's climate, running a dehumidifier can reduce drying time by 2-3 hours.
For urgent situations, we offer low-moisture cleaning methods that allow carpets to be ready for use within 2-4 hours.
We successfully treat most common household stains including coffee, tea, wine, food spills, pet accidents, mud, and ink. Our technicians assess each stain type and select appropriate cleaning agents and techniques.
Fresh stains respond better to treatment than old, set-in marks. For protein-based stains like blood or egg, we use enzyme cleaners. Oil-based stains require solvent-based products. Tannin stains from tea or coffee need acidic treatments.
Some permanent dyes, bleach damage, or stains that have been improperly treated with household chemicals may not be fully removable. We provide honest assessment before starting work and explain realistic expectations for each specific case.
For residential properties, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months under normal conditions. Households with children or pets benefit from cleaning every 6-12 months due to increased wear and potential accidents.
High-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms accumulate dirt faster and may need attention every 6-9 months. Commercial spaces with daily foot traffic require quarterly or monthly maintenance depending on usage.
Regular vacuuming between professional cleanings extends carpet life and maintains appearance. Properties in Manchester with higher humidity may need more frequent deep cleaning to prevent mould and odours. Allergy sufferers often schedule cleaning every 6 months to reduce dust mites and allergens.
We use cleaning solutions that meet British safety standards and are certified for use in homes with children and animals. Our standard products are biodegradable and contain no harsh chemicals like phosphates or chlorine.
After cleaning, we thoroughly rinse carpets to remove any residue. Once dry, the surface is safe for immediate contact. For clients with specific sensitivities or allergies, we offer hypoallergenic and fragrance-free alternatives.
All products comply with REACH regulations and carry appropriate safety certifications. We provide material safety data sheets upon request. Pets and children can return to cleaned areas as soon as carpets are dry to touch, typically within 6-12 hours depending on conditions.
We move lightweight furniture such as chairs, coffee tables, and small side tables as part of our service. This allows us to clean the entire carpet surface without leaving untreated areas.
Heavy items like sofas, wardrobes, beds, and entertainment units should remain in place unless you arrange furniture moving in advance. We clean around these pieces and can work underneath if there is sufficient clearance.
For complete room cleaning including under all furniture, please inform us when booking. We can arrange additional assistance for an extra fee. We place protective tabs or blocks under furniture legs after cleaning to prevent staining from wood or metal contact with damp carpet.
Steam cleaning, or hot water extraction, injects heated water mixed with cleaning solution deep into carpet fibres, then extracts it along with dirt and debris. This method provides thorough cleaning and is recommended by most carpet manufacturers. It requires 6-12 hours drying time.
Dry cleaning uses minimal moisture with specialized compounds or solvents that attract and encapsulate dirt. Carpets are ready to use within 1-2 hours. This method works well for maintenance cleaning and delicate fibres that cannot tolerate moisture.
We assess your carpet type, condition, and soiling level to recommend the most suitable method. Heavily soiled carpets benefit more from hot water extraction, while lightly soiled or moisture-sensitive materials may be better suited to low-moisture techniques.
Pricing depends on carpet size, material, condition, and cleaning method required. A standard living room (4m x 5m) typically costs £45-£75. Whole house packages for 3-bedroom properties range from £120-£180.
Additional treatments like stain removal, deodorizing, or protective coating incur extra charges of £15-£35 per treatment. Heavily soiled carpets or delicate materials like silk or antique rugs require specialized handling and cost more.
We provide free quotes after assessing your specific requirements. Prices include all labour, equipment, and standard cleaning products. Regular customers and multiple room bookings receive discounted rates. Contact us for an accurate estimate based on your property in Manchester.
Kebegu began operations in Manchester in 2015, when a group of cleaning specialists recognised the need for reliable carpet care services in the area. Starting with a single van and basic equipment, the company focused on delivering thorough cleaning using proven methods and quality products.
What started as a small operation serving residential clients in Manchester has grown into a service covering multiple postcodes across Greater Manchester. The expansion came naturally as satisfied customers recommended the service to neighbours, friends, and colleagues.
Today, Kebegu operates with a team of eight trained technicians, three service vehicles equipped with truck-mounted systems, and a range of portable machines for locations requiring different approaches. The company handles both domestic and commercial contracts, from single-room flats to office buildings with multiple floors.
The company operates on straightforward principles: arrive on time, assess the carpet condition properly, use appropriate cleaning methods, and leave the space clean. Each technician receives training in fibre identification, stain classification, and equipment operation before working independently.
Kebegu uses hot water extraction as the primary method, supplemented by dry cleaning for delicate materials and encapsulation for commercial spaces requiring quick drying times. The choice depends on carpet type, soil level, and client requirements rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

The company maintains insurance coverage of £2 million public liability and holds certifications from the National Carpet Cleaners Association.
