7. Service Standards and Limitations

7.1 Carpet Cleaning NW3 will provide the services using reasonable care and skill, in accordance with industry practices, and using suitable cleaning products and equipment.

7.2 While we aim to achieve high-quality results, the outcome of cleaning may be affected by factors such as the age and condition of carpets, pre-existing stains, previous cleaning attempts, wear, fading, and the type of fibres. As such, we do not guarantee the complete removal of all stains or odours.

7.3 Shrinkage, colour loss, or other changes may occasionally occur where carpets or fabrics have pre-existing damage, have not been properly fitted, or are sensitive to moisture or cleaning products. The Customer accepts that the technician will assess and clean using reasonable judgment but cannot guarantee against such changes where they result from inherent defects or conditions beyond our control.

7.4 Any times for arrival or completion of the service are estimates only. While we will make reasonable efforts to attend at the agreed time, delays may occur. The Customer is not entitled to compensation for minor delays.

8.2 If the Customer is not satisfied with the service, they must notify Carpet Cleaning NW3 as soon as reasonably possible, and in any event within 48 hours of completion. We will investigate and, where appropriate, may arrange a revisit to re-clean the affected area or offer another suitable remedy at our discretion.
