Our Process
At London Air Cleaning Company, every fabric, floor covering and soft furnishing is assessed individually before we begin. Different materials, dyes, fibres and levels of soiling all require different cleaning methods. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, our trained technicians carefully inspect every item and choose the safest and most effective cleaning system to achieve outstanding results while protecting your investment.
Whether we are cleaning inside your home or carrying out a specialist off-site restoration in our dedicated cleaning facility, our goal remains the same: deliver exceptional results with meticulous attention to detail.
A Tailored Process for Every Home
No two carpets, rugs, sofas, curtains or mattresses are the same, which is why we never rely on a one-size-fits-all approach. Every item is carefully inspected before cleaning, allowing us to select the safest and most effective treatment based on its material, construction and condition.
For routine maintenance, our on-site services provide outstanding convenience and excellent results. For heavily soiled, stained, delicate or high-value items, our specialist off-site cleaning facility delivers a far more intensive level of cleaning, restoration and care. By combining expert knowledge, advanced equipment and proven cleaning techniques, London Air Cleaning Company consistently achieves exceptional results that restore freshness, extend the life of your furnishings and create a healthier indoor environment.
Floor Cleaning Process
At London Air Cleaning Company, we provide specialist cleaning and restoration services for virtually every type of hard floor. Every floor is different, and using the wrong cleaning products or equipment can cause permanent damage. That’s why every project begins with a detailed inspection to identify the floor type, finish, level of soiling and any existing wear before selecting the safest and most effective cleaning system.
Whether your floors require routine maintenance or a complete restoration, our technicians use professional-grade equipment and industry-approved techniques to deliver exceptional results.

Wood Floor Cleaning Process
Natural wood floors require careful handling to protect the timber while removing years of built-up dirt.
Step 1 – Floor Inspection
We identify the wood species, finish (oiled, lacquered or waxed), moisture levels and overall condition.
Step 2 – Dry Soil Removal
Commercial vacuum equipment removes grit, dust and abrasive particles that can scratch the surface.
Step 3 – Specialist Cleaning Solution
A pH-balanced wood floor cleaner is applied to safely break down grease, dirt and grime without damaging the finish.
Step 4 – Gentle Mechanical Cleaning
Professional rotary or oscillating equipment gently agitates the surface, lifting embedded dirt from the grain and joints.
Step 5 – Low-Moisture Extraction
Dirt and cleaning solution are removed using low-moisture techniques to protect the timber.
Step 6 – Finishing (Optional)
Where required, protective oils or maintenance finishes can be applied to enhance appearance and extend the life of the floor.

Why Professional Floor Cleaning Makes a Difference
Household mops and off-the-shelf cleaning products often leave behind residues that attract dirt and dull the appearance of hard floors. Our professional cleaning systems remove deeply embedded grime, bacteria, allergens and residues that regular cleaning simply cannot reach.
By combining advanced equipment, specialist cleaning solutions and expert knowledge of every flooring material, London Air Cleaning Company restores the cleanliness, appearance and longevity of your floors, leaving them healthier, safer and looking their absolute best.
