Where the dust settles
Drying is planned for the building: sashes open in a Georgian room by the Green, an air mover running in a lower ground flat by the river.

Rooms and hallways
A vacuum takes the top layer; extraction flushes out the grit and skin flakes packed down near the backing. Hallways get extra passes where the front door lets the street in.
Bedrooms £36 - 02
Stairs and landings
Every tread is worked by hand at the nosing, where the carpet folds over and dust gathers in the bend. The landing at the top is an extra £9.
Stairs £41 a flight - 03
Rugs
Beaten from the back to shake loose the dry dust, dye tested at a corner, then cleaned flat on a sheet where it lies.
Rugs from £35 - 04
Sofas and chairs
Seat cushions and arms hold more house dust than most people expect. We clean them at low pressure so the filling stays close to dry.
Sofas from £57
Old houses and river air
Around Richmond Green, Ormond Road and the top of Richmond Hill the houses are Georgian or older, and plenty of the carpet in them is laid over original wide boards. Air rises through the gaps between those boards and the carpet strains it, which is where the grey lines along the skirting come from. The staircases turn on narrow winders, so our machine arrives in parts and the drying is done with air movers and open sashes, with no heat near listed fabric.
Down on the Riverside, Water Lane and Friars Lane, the lower ground rooms take river water on big spring tides and after long spells of rain. A carpet that has sat in floodwater needs a different conversation from a dusty one, so tell us on the phone. The air in those rooms is often damp and they take longer to dry; a dehumidifier running for the afternoon helps.
Richmond's tap water is very hard. Wool and wool-mix carpet is common in the period houses, and it dries stiff with a grey bloom unless the last rinse is softened, so on wool it always is. Parking gets checked against your actual street, since some controlled zones here only run for a two hour band in the morning.
