Yes — and it is one of our most popular services in the Folkestone area. Holiday let and Airbnb properties take heavy footfall from guests, and rugs accumulate sand, coastal dirt, spills and general soiling between stays that standard cleaning cannot fully address. Our collection and return service is particularly practical for Folkestone holiday let operators — we collect the rug at the end of a guest stay, clean it thoroughly at our base in Ashford, and return it ready for the next booking. If you manage multiple properties or need a regular schedule between stays, get in touch and we’ll arrange the most practical approach for you.

Yes. Natural fibre rugs including jute, sisal and seagrass are popular choices in coastal properties and we are specifically trained and equipped to clean them. Natural fibres require a different approach from synthetic or wool rugs — they are sensitive to excess moisture and some standard cleaning agents, which is why specialist expertise matters. As WoolSafe Approved Fibre Care Specialists, we have the training and the correct products to clean natural fibre rugs safely and effectively without causing shrinkage, warping or fibre damage.

The cleaning process typically takes a few hours depending on the size and condition of the rug. Drying time varies by rug type and thickness — synthetic rugs dry faster than thick wool or natural fibre pieces. For on-site cleans we will advise on drying time before we leave. For collection and return jobs we will give you a clear turnaround timeline when you book so you know exactly when your rug will be back.

Yes. Sand and grit embedded deep in rug fibres is one of the most common issues in coastal properties and one of the most damaging over time — the abrasive particles cut through fibre with every footstep if left untreated. Our professional cleaning process removes deep-embedded soiling that vacuuming misses entirely. We also treat targeted stains including pet accidents, spills and general discolouration as part of the standard service. Mention any specific staining when you book so we arrive prepared with the most appropriate treatment.

For most homes, every 12 to 18 months is a good baseline. For Folkestone holiday let properties, a professional clean between every season or after periods of heavy occupancy is strongly recommended — both to maintain the rug’s appearance for guests and to protect its condition over time. Natural fibre rugs in coastal environments benefit from regular professional care as sand and salt residue can break down fibre more quickly than in inland homes.

For most homes, a professional clean every 12 to 18 months is ideal. Rugs in high-traffic areas, or in homes with pets or young children, benefit from an annual clean. Regular professional cleaning removes the deep-down soiling that dulls colour and breaks down fibre over time, significantly extending the life of your rug and keeping your home fresher and healthier.
