The difference between carpet cleaning machines
CaThe What is the difference between different carpet cleaning machines? When I first started cleaning carpets back in 2007 I was a little flummoxed by all of the different types of carpet cleaning equipment out on the market. Prices of carpet cleaners seemed to range from £50 right up to £30,000! But what is the […]

Do dirty ovens cause house fires
This fact is taken from the Office of National Statistics.
A dirty oven can appear from nowhere, busy lives and leaving awkward cleaning tasks go hand in hand.
The issue with ovens is usually grease that builds up in the base and walls of the oven and trays. Every time the oven gets hot, this grease burns over and over again.
Is your oven ready for Christmas?
Another year is nearly over and it’s nearly time to get the Turkey in the oven. But how hygienic is your oven?
As well as the built up grease, fat and carbon deposits looking unsightly – there is another important issue. This is the fact that its true that a dirty oven will taint the taste of your spuds and other yummy Christmas delights. Clean oven – clean taste.
Vacuum cleaner facts
Most of us have vacuums, hoovers etc, so here is a short blog post about them.
Vacuum cleaners have been in existence for decades, and have evolved into a small fold up device that you can keep under the sink. But the original models actually needed two people to operate them. This contraption used bellows to create the suck. […]
Cheap cleaning services
To be fair, everyone likes a bargain. The Television and Internet is full of offers for half price products, buy today and get 3 free etc. Most people can spot a bargain – but when it comes to cleaning services, you really need to be careful when letting someone loose on your valuable carpets and upholstery.
Lack of a local phone number. […]
Air quality control
It may be a surprising fact, but according to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air quality in your home and workplace can be up to five times worse than that of the air quality outside.
And, as we spend more than 85% of our time indoors nowadays, that’s a worrying statistic.
Industrial cleaning services
As well as offering a lot of cleaning services to domestic customers, Dirtbusters also offer a deep industrial cleaning service in Liverpool, Warrington, and The Wirral.
Some of the commercial carpets cleaning jobs we carry out across Merseyside include Hotels, Care Homes, Schools, and Office environments.
Cleaning Limestone Patio Wirral
This particular customer of mine had wanted to spruce her patio up for this great Summer we are currently experiencing.
As we can see from this image, the black limestone patio has been damaged by a jet washing company on The Wirral. It seems that the cleaning company in question had used a turbo nozzle to try and clean the floor[…]
High humidity and carpet drying times
I have heard a lot of carpet and upholstery cleaners struggle with getting their jobs dry quickly when Summer arrives here in sunny old Liverpool.
At least the problem of high humidity only lasts a short period of time, there can be a problem with getting carpets dry […]
Todays Amtico floor clean in Warrington
I love cleaning and restoring Amtico, Karndean and other luxury vinyl tiles. They only make up a small amount of the cleaning works I carry out, but they can be the most satisfying.

Bleach cleanable carpets
The use of wool carpets in the UK seems to be declining in favour of the easier to care for polypropylene carpeting.
I remember going to United Carpets & Beds in Hunts Cross a while ago when I was on the hunt for some new fluffy carpets for my house.
When I asked the salesman where the wool carpets were, he gave me a long spiel about how wool carpets cant be cleaned, and if they do they always shrink. […]
Access is no problem
Now I shouldn’t complain, but the amount of call’s that I get for my carpet and furniture cleaning service where another company has driven off into the sunset is remarkable. And, its all down to them not having the correct equipment for jobs that are not easy to reach.
iRobot Vacuum Review
I have seen these gadgets around for a while now. A couple of robot vacuum cleaners have popped there heads out in my customer’s houses, As well as seeing them featured on gadget tv shows.

Franchise or Independent Trader
So I may be a little biased, as I am an independent carpet cleaner here in Liverpool. But when I am looking for any kind of trade, I do look for a family run local operation – whether it be a domestic cleaner, plumber, sparky etc.
Why is this? Well, what I have noticed in the past few years is that companies from out[…]
Vacuum Cleaner Recommendations
When cleaning carpets here on The Wirral and Liverpool I like to use Kirby vacuum cleaners in preparation for my prefered method of carpet cleaning – hot water extraction (steam carpet cleaning). I have tried others and see different makes in my clients’ homes, but I like the weight and power of Kirby’s.
Since 2017 the power of vacuum cleaners has been restricted to no more than 900w. […]
End of Tenancy Carpet Cleaning
