Professional deep carpet cleaning that lifts embedded dirt, removes stains, and leaves your carpets smelling fresh. Service provided by our specialist partner Jackman Fabric Care — Ottery St Mary's trusted name in fabric care for over 20 years.
More Than a Hoover Can Handle
Your carpet might look passable on a quick glance, but give it a proper clean and you'll see just how much a vacuum doesn't reach. Embedded grit, allergens, pet dander, old spill residues, and odours build up deep in the pile over months and years — and the only way to shift them is professional hot water extraction or specialist cleaning.
💡 Pro tip: Regular professional cleaning every 12-18 months doesn't just make your carpets look better — it genuinely extends their life. Abrasive grit trapped in fibres acts like sandpaper with every footstep.

What to Expect
Step 1: Assessment
On arrival, the team checks carpet type and condition, identifies any stubborn staining, and discusses the best approach with you. No surprises.
Step 2: Pre-treatment
Stain treatment is applied to marked areas and given time to work. High-traffic areas and heavily soiled patches get extra attention.
Step 3: Deep Clean
Professional hot water extraction lifts dirt from deep in the pile. The equipment is substantially more powerful than anything you'll hire from a supermarket.
Step 4: Rinse & Extract
A clean rinse removes all cleaning solution and loosened grime. This step is what separates a genuine deep clean from a surface wash — no sticky residue left behind.
Step 5: Review & Dry
Results reviewed together before the team leaves. Open windows to help drying — most carpets are walkable within 2-4 hours.

Good to Know
> 🐾 **Pets and allergies?** Professional cleaning removes the allergen build-up that vacuuming misses. Worth doing annually if anyone in the house suffers from dust mite allergies or pet dander. **Landlords:** we work with letting agents and landlords regularly. Multiple properties and ongoing relationships welcomed — contact us to discuss a maintenance arrangement. **Devon's damp climate** means carpets hold moisture longer than in drier parts of the country. We factor this into drying times and won't cut short the extraction stage to save time. **This service is provided by Jackman Fabric Care**, our specialist partner for carpet and upholstery cleaning in Exeter and Devon. All enquiries, bookings, and questions are routed through Hembury Contracting.
Frequently Asked Questions about Carpet cleaning in Ottery St Mary
How long does carpet cleaning take?
A typical living room takes around 1-1.5 hours, so a full house with two or three carpeted rooms is usually 2-3 hours total. We'll give you a clearer estimate once we know what you've got.
How long before I can walk on the carpets?
Usually 2-4 hours to dry fully, depending on pile depth and ventilation. You can walk on them carefully sooner if needed - just pop some clean socks on and open a window or two to help it along.
Will you remove all stains?
Most everyday stains - mud, food, drink spills, pet marks - come out well with professional cleaning. Set-in stains that have been there years are trickier, and some (like bleach or permanent dye) can't be reversed. We'll be honest with you about what's realistic before we start.
Is this through Jackman Fabric Care?
Yes - this service is carried out by our specialist partner Jackman Fabric Care, with over 20 years' experience in professional carpet and upholstery cleaning. Enquiries come through Hembury Contracting and are handled by Jackman's expert team.
Do I need to move furniture first?
Move the big bits if you can - sofas, coffee tables, chairs. Don't worry about heavy items like beds and wardrobes. The more floor space that's clear, the better the result you'll get.
