Your pillow cover is slit and the feathers are then removed. The feathers are then cleaned and treated to kill all the bacteria, fungi and dust mites. Your clean feathers are then put back into a brand new cover leaving them fresh, soft, clean and hygienic.

We will arrange removal at your convenience, take them to our Pound Lane works where they will be professionally dry cleaned or Lagoon wet cleaned with our renowned attention to detail. 

 

Did you know that household curtains can harbour tens of thousands of microscopic dust mites? Curtains are effective air-filters, trapping airborne dust, odours, hairs, smoke and dead skin particles - creating the perfect habitat for dust mites, which can cause a wide range of allergic reactions, including eczema, dermatitis, asthma, dry coughs, hay fever and sinusitis. Smoke and nicotine also attack curtain fibres. 

 

If anyone in the house suffers from asthma or allergies it is highly recommended that you clean your curtains on a regular basis. Traditional dry cleaning will not remove odours and not clean deep into the curtains fibres. That’s why at ideal we prefer to clean all our curtains using our Lagoon wet cleaning process. 

At ideal we lease Rug Doctor carpet cleaning machines. Rug Doctor is the professional carpet cleaning system you can use yourself in any home or business environment. Vacuuming alone will not remove the deep down dirt and allergens that accumulate in the carpet pile. The Rug doctor equipment is highly effective and uses foam and a pulsating brush to remove dug in dirt. The high powered suction device sucks up all dirt and leaves the carpet dry within 2 hours. 

 

The Rug Doctor is light and easy to manoeuvre around your furniture. Simply pull the Rug Doctor slowly backwards over the carpet. Rug Doctors unique cleaning system gently washes, scrubs and lifts dirt right out. Carpets are dry within 2 hours. Rug Doctor delivers superior cleaning results compared to many professional cleaners. 

 

Whether you are using the Rug Doctor for the first time – or you’re one of our many repeat customers… you can be sure that your carpets will be left: 

 

Rug Doctor carpet detergents now contains SpotBlock stain repellent to protect your carpet against stains and spills long after its been deep cleaned. The formulation has been specifically developed to really deep clean your carpet and remove stubborn stains. It is pet safe and wool friendly. 

 

 

To rent the rug doctor you must provide two forms of identification: 

 

 

Did you know you are sharing your bed with millions of little creatures? Dead and alive! 

 

It is estimated there are 20000 dust mites alone in your duvet. 

 

Resent research by Manchester University discovered that your duvets contain millions of fungal spores which have been proven to exacerbate asthma in adults and cause sporadic or long term allergic sinusitis in people with allergic tendencies. 

 

Although dust mites eat fungi, the fungi thrive on dust mite faeces and dead human skin scales, thus perpetuating a cycle of infestation. 

 

For the most effective results, industry hygiene guidelines recommend duvets are washed twice a year in a wash cycle in excess of 65°. 

 

By having your duvets cleaned at ideal we will ensure that all duvets are sterilised and disinfected with the removal of allergens to ensure you don’t have sleepless nights.
