Services
James and Stephen, co-owners of Scimitar Clean Ltd. each have over 16 years of experience in the carpet, upholstery and restoration industry and operate throughout Hampshire, Surrey and into surrounding counties.
They joined forces in 2005, recognising that two heads were better than one and that many jobs simply needed more than one pair of skilled hands.
Since then both have maintained a commitment to continuing education.
Recent advanced courses include spot and stain removal, oriental rug cleaning and odour control.

Scimitar Clean offer a multi system approach to all cleaning services: carpet, rug, upholstery, stone and tiled floors.
Hot Water Extraction (HWE) is the principle method and we use powerful, professional machines including a truckmount, typically 10 times more powerful than the portable units operated by many of our competitors.
HWE is the most thorough, safe and effective system in the majority of situations.
It cleans deeply (not just the surface), emulsifies soiling and stains when combined with professional solutions and equipment, and uses safe non-toxic solutions.

Scimitar Clean treat every carpet upon its own characteristics - we do not take a "one size fits all" approach.
We will move furniture within reason.
Sofas and chairs rarely present problems and this is true of coffee tables, small cabinets and other sturdy furnishings.
Cabinets containing fragile items such as crystal, china or electrical equipment can be moved but you should remove the contents before we arrive.
Computers and TV/Videos/DVDs are generally not moved unless specifically requested, in which case we cannot take responsibility for damage or the inadvertent disconnection of cables.

Upholstery cleaning is just as much a specialist task as carpet cleaning and in many cases even more so.
It is also time consuming - expect a typical 3-piece suite to take a full morning to clean.
Whilst most upholstery fabrics do not contain wool we usually opt to use Woolsafe approved professional cleaning solutions.
This approach gives good cleaning results with minimal risks as fabrics are left in a pH stable condition with little chance of colour change or bleed.
Upholstery fabrics vary enormously in construction (woven, tufted, flocked, prints), fibres (natural and synthetic) and dyes (many being unstable or reactive).

Rug cleaning is rarely the same as carpet cleaning but on a smaller scale!
This is especially true for oriental, Persian, Afghan, Indian, Zeigler, Pakistan, Chinese, silk, and expensive contemporary rugs.
Why should this be the case?
Thicker and heavier rugs often have to be cleaned two or more times to achieve an even result.
Flat weave rugs such as kilims and tapestries also present challenges for cleaning & drying.
These characteristics often mean that we need to take rugs away to our unit as safe, effective cleaning and rapid drying is not attainable in a domestic setting.
