Vacuuming only removes surface dirt — the dust mites, allergens, and bacteria trapped deep in carpet fibres in The Lough homes need hot water extraction to actually lift out. Our carpet cleaning team uses professional steam equipment that reaches what a vacuum never touches.

Carpets trap allergens, dust mites, and bacteria deep in their fibres. Professional carpet cleaning removes what vacuuming can't, extending the life of your carpets and improving indoor air quality.
Rental steam cleaners sold in The Lough supermarkets use far weaker suction and heat than professional equipment. The result: carpets that look damp-clean on the surface but stay dirty and slow to dry underneath, often leaving a musty smell as they dry. Our hot water extraction system injects hot water and cleaning solution deep into the pile, then extracts it — along with the dirt, dust mites, and bacteria — at genuinely commercial suction strength.
Because more moisture and dirt is extracted rather than left to evaporate, carpets dry in 2-4 hours instead of a full day or more, and there's no lingering damp smell.
Full hot water extraction across all carpeted rooms, pre-treatment of visible stains (wine, coffee, pet accidents, ink), deodorising treatment for pet or smoke odours, and edge/corner detailing where vacuum cleaners typically miss. Upholstery cleaning (sofas, armchairs, dining chairs) uses a gentler fabric-safe version of the same extraction process.
Child and pet-safe products are used throughout — no harsh chemical residue left in fibres your family or pets will be sitting and crawling on. Stubborn or set-in stains are quoted separately as they may require repeat treatment.
Common triggers: moving into or out of a property in Cork City Centre (carpets absorb the previous occupant's smells and allergens), spring cleaning, after a pet accident or party, before hosting guests, or as part of an end of tenancy clean where landlords specifically require professional carpet cleaning receipts.
Many The Lough landlords require a professional carpet cleaning invoice as proof at end of tenancy — we provide one automatically after every job, accepted by most letting agents and property managers.
