QUESTION: How do I get Lily Pollen out of my carpet?

Answer

If you’ve been unlucky enough to get lily pollen on your carpet be very careful not to press it into the carpet fibres. Also, don’t let the pollen get wet!

Grab a roll of sticky tape and gently place it over the pollen. The pollen will stick to the tape. Using a new piece of tape every time, continue with this until all the pollen is removed.

You can prevent it happening again by snipping out the stamens of the lily before it comes into full bloom. Catch them on a plate or similar and dispose of them, better safe than sorry.

If the above procedure hasn't completely removed the pollen we may be able to help. We have a specialist product for Lily pollen, but it's not 100% guaranteed to work. If you've not got all the pollen all out we'd recommend you contact your contents insurer and see if you have Accidental Damage cover. If you do they may pay for us to come and attempt the specialist removal. If we can't remove it we'll supply a letter to your insurer confirming that for you.

First class service. John our cleaner arrived on time, worked efficiently and restored carpets and upholstery to pristine condition. Polite and considerate service from booking to payment.

I had never had a carpet or upholstered furniture cleaned before, but I was so impressed- even asked John , if he would mind an audience- I was more than impressed, I was fascinated. The carpet which I was going to replace, is brilliant and the chairs which I had considered having re- upholstered, there's no need , they're like new, at a quarter of the cost! Very, very impressed and pleased. I most definitely will use Clean & Dry again. Thank you.

Efficient and friendly staff. Warned us that they were slightly delayed so we weren't concerned about them being just a little late. Excellent job. Delighted with the results. Will be using them again!

I was very pleased with the results of the cleaning of the lounge carpet, which is quite old. It looks brand new! Also, some time back you cleaned our kitchen carpet, which was stained, due to our puppy, and the results were excellent. We shall certainly use you again in the future.

The service provided by Clean & Dry Sheffield was exceptional. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for and the experience that the team have is second to none which is why we decided to use them. The technician arrived exactly on time and worked extremely hard and professionally. The machine looked very impressive and the difference in the carpet colour was amazing. I can't believe how dirty it actually was! We now have beautifully fresh clean carpets and I couldn't be happier.

From the visit to estimate the cost to the service visit to carry out the work all the staff were professional and courteous.When asked to cost the five cushion leather suite as well as the carpets the icing on the cake was a discount.When the carpets were finished you could feel the pile restored.the suite is now rejuvenated.You couldn't ask for more.

Superb service As the carpet cleaning involved 4 rooms the work was split over 2 visits. John the technician provided outstanding service. Each visit lasted just over an hour, he was friendly, polite, and on time on both occasions. Thank you

This is the third time we have used Clean dry Services, and once again their personal service and attention to detail ticked all the boxes. We'll be back for more cleaning in the future.

There was a slight issue with booking for a quote but I spoke to the owner of the company and he resolved the issue quickly and professionally. Carpets look and smell lovely.

Everything about the service is outstanding! 'Old fashioned' in the sense of that term as the highest possible praise. After the initial visit to appraise the job, I was left a swathe of helpful material, and after the job was done, more follow-up material and even a complimentary notepad! The genius is in the detail. Every aspect has felt personalized, and it is so refreshing that such courtesy, care and attention to detail are still to be found.

Clean and Dry were very responsive and able to come out quickly. They were honest about what was achievable with a stain on the carpet and if it was actually worth doing, which we really appreciated. John came on the day and he was professional and gave good advice. We would use them again.

From my first enquiry, the team communicated professionally and courteously at all times. They kept me informed of the changes to the original date of cleaning. When John arrived, he was very aware of all the procedures necessary to keep us both socially distanced in these Covid-19 times. He was efficient and friendly. I would recommend their services.

I've used Clean & Dry Sheffield for a number of years: both carpet and rug cleaning. Rugs they have removed to clean at their workshops, carpets cleaned at our home. I lie using them because they meet our needs in every respect: personal contact over the phone; appointments are kept to time, or earlier when that's possible and convenient for us; prices are good, including discounts; their equipment is up to date and efficient, and their staff are courteous, professional and friendly. Courtesy and reliability go hand in hand in all aspects of their work.

The punctuality, quality of care and personal attention we get from Clean and Dry's technicians is exemplary. Our carpets are like new after they have been. Since first trying their service several years ago we have become regular customers. Highly recommended to anyone looking to have their carpets or upholstery cleaned.

Can't recommend this company highly enough. They transformed some very tired carpet at the foodbank and went above and beyond in helping us. They thoroughly deserve all the 5 star reviews!

I would highly recommend this company to anyone who has awful carpets and stains that you think are impossible to get rid off. I was shocked by an amazing standards and really didn't expect such an amazing result! Our student property's carpets haven't been cleaned for about 5 years and had very deep oil stains and there wasn't a clean spot anywhere. The guys went above and beyond and gave our carpets the second life! Will definitely be using them again. Their prices are quite competitive too!

I have used Clean N Dry on two occasions now and both times i have been really impressed by their professional attitude but at the same time i found them both lovely to talk too and concerned they give the best treatment for your needs . They have cleaned carpets which looked like new when they had finished also this Christmas 2021 they brought back to life 3 sheepskins that had been very neglected for a long time i was amazed at the results absolutely fabulous . I can't recommend them highly enough and will definitely be using them again

Truly Exceptional Honesty and Integrity. I have a couple of leather sofas which I was considering either getting cleaned or replacing so thought I would ask this firm to come and quote me for a good clean. The gentleman who turned up ( forgot his name sorry) was super professional and told me that whilst he could clean the sofa he highly recommended that we didn't as the sofa had damage on it which if he cleaned would become worse. How many companies do you know who talk themselves out of getting work? I really appreciated his honesty and if I ever do require anything cleaning I will know I can trust this firm to come and do it. Kudos to you Clean & Dry!
