Shockwave is a professional enzyme-based pre-spray designed for demanding cleaning situations.

Enzyme-containing cleaning chemistry can assist with breaking down suitable organic residues, helping release contamination that has become bonded to carpet fibres.

This makes it particularly useful for carpets exposed to food spills, organic contamination and heavy everyday use.

We apply Shockwave according to the appropriate dilution and manufacturer's instructions, allowing the required contact time before extraction.

The released contamination is then removed using our professional Airflex Storm 800 hot water extraction system.

For wool carpets, chemistry, temperature and rinse selection are carefully controlled. An appropriate acidic rinse may be used where required.

We never assume that a powerful pre-spray is suitable for every fibre.

• General domestic carpet cleaning.
• Synthetic carpets.
• Wool carpets, subject to testing.
• Routine maintenance cleaning.
• Polyester upholstery.
• Suitable microfibre fabrics.
• General everyday soiling.

S.P.M Atlantic Breeze is an oxygenated, detergent-free professional cleaning solution designed to release a broad range of contamination.

Its formulation uses a super-wetting agent and oxygenating component to assist soil release without relying on conventional detergents, enzymes, solvents or caustic alkalis.

It is a particularly versatile option for a wide range of carpet and fabric cleaning applications.

For general domestic carpet cleaning, we want effective soil removal without automatically resorting to unnecessarily aggressive chemistry.

S.P.M can be used on wool and many other carpet and upholstery materials, subject to appropriate pre-testing and cleaning procedures.

Its versatility makes it a useful option for routine maintenance and general soiling.

Where appropriate, we allow the cleaning solution to work before proceeding with professional extraction.

The manufacturer's instructions recommend brushing the solution into the fibres; the level and method of agitation should always be selected according to the carpet or fabric being treated.

• Heavily soiled synthetic carpets.
• Commercial carpets.
• Greasy traffic lanes.
• Restaurant and hospitality carpets.
• Oil-based contamination.
• Mechanically tracked-in grime.
• Heavy commercial soiling.

Blaze is a professional solvent-assisted detergent pre-spray designed for demanding cleaning conditions.

Grease and oily contamination can bind particulate dirt to carpet fibres, making it particularly difficult to remove.

Blaze is formulated to help emulsify and release these difficult deposits.

A heavily trafficked synthetic hallway, commercial carpet or restaurant floor may require a more targeted cleaning solution than a general-purpose pre-spray.

Rather than simply increasing mechanical brushing, we select chemistry that is appropriate for the contamination.

Once the cleaning solution has worked, professional hot water extraction removes the released soil.

Blaze is not automatically our first choice for wool or delicate upholstery. Fibre compatibility, testing, dilution and appropriate rinsing are essential.

• Heavily soiled synthetic carpets.
• Commercial and hospitality carpets.
• End-of-tenancy carpet cleaning.
• Greasy traffic lanes.
• Oil-based contamination.
• Sticky residues.
• Tar and asphalt tracking.
• Certain difficult synthetic carpet soils.

Lemon Vibe is a concentrated citrus-solvent pre-spray designed for challenging oily and sticky contamination.

Its solvent-assisted formulation helps dissolve and release deposits that may resist conventional cleaning chemistry.

This makes it particularly useful for heavily soiled synthetic carpets and demanding commercial cleaning applications.

Lemon Vibe is a specialist solution, not a universal carpet or upholstery cleaner.

Its solvent content means it is intended for suitable synthetic carpet applications, not wool or vulnerable natural fibres and backings.

We always consider the carpet construction and manufacturer's guidance before selecting a cleaning solution.

Our priority is to achieve the best possible cleaning result without compromising the material.

Not all carpets are the same, and neither is the dirt trapped within them. Choosing the correct professional carpet cleaning pre-spray is one of the most important decisions in achieving excellent cleaning results while protecting the carpet fibres.

At Longueville Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, we use a selection of professional cleaning solutions, including S.P.M Atlantic Breeze, Shockwave, Blaze and Lemon Vibe. Each product has different cleaning characteristics and applications.

Rather than using the same chemical on every carpet, we consider the carpet fibre, construction, level of soiling and type of contamination before selecting the most appropriate solution.

S.P.M Atlantic Breeze is a versatile professional cleaning solution suitable for a range of general carpet cleaning applications.

We particularly favour it for routine domestic carpet cleaning, general synthetic carpet soiling and suitable wool carpet cleaning, subject to testing and correct procedures.

Its oxygenating and soil-release properties help loosen everyday dirt and contamination, making it easier to remove during professional hot water extraction.

For wool carpets, we carefully consider the carpet construction, cleaning temperature and appropriate rinse method.

Best suited to: General domestic carpet cleaning, synthetic carpets, suitable wool carpets, routine maintenance cleaning and general everyday soiling.

Shockwave is a professional enzyme-based pre-spray designed for demanding cleaning situations involving suitable organic contamination.

It is particularly useful where carpets have accumulated food residues, organic soiling and heavy everyday contamination.

Enzyme-based cleaning chemistry can help break down suitable organic residues, assisting with the release of contamination from carpet fibres before extraction.

Best suited to: Heavily soiled synthetic carpets, food and drink contamination, dining room carpets, organic soiling, restaurant carpets and suitable protein-based contamination.

When cleaning wool carpets, we carefully assess whether the product is appropriate and select suitable temperature and rinsing procedures.

Blaze is a professional solvent-assisted detergent pre-spray designed for challenging cleaning conditions.

Grease and oily contamination can bind dirt to carpet fibres, particularly in busy hallways, commercial premises and areas exposed to heavy foot traffic.

Blaze helps emulsify and release these difficult deposits, allowing professional hot water extraction to remove the loosened contamination.

Best suited to: Heavily soiled synthetic carpets, greasy traffic lanes, commercial carpets, restaurant carpets, oily contamination and demanding hospitality cleaning.

Blaze is not automatically suitable for wool or delicate natural fibres. We assess fibre compatibility and select the appropriate cleaning method before application.

Lemon Vibe is a concentrated citrus-solvent pre-spray designed for challenging oily and sticky contamination.

Its solvent-assisted formulation helps dissolve and release deposits that may resist conventional cleaning solutions.

It can be particularly useful for heavily soiled synthetic carpets, commercial traffic lanes and certain difficult residues.

Best suited to: Suitable synthetic carpets, greasy traffic lanes, sticky deposits, oil-based contamination, tar and asphalt tracking, commercial carpets and demanding end-of-tenancy cleaning situations.

Lemon Vibe is a specialist solution and is not our universal carpet cleaner. We do not select it for wool carpets or vulnerable natural fibres and backings.

For general domestic carpet cleaning, S.P.M Atlantic Breeze is a versatile option.

For suitable organic contamination and food-related soiling, Shockwave may be the better choice.

For greasy, heavily trafficked synthetic carpets, Blaze can provide targeted cleaning performance.

For difficult oily, sticky or tar-related contamination on suitable synthetic carpets, Lemon Vibe may be more appropriate.

There is no single best pre-spray for every carpet. The best solution is the one selected for the particular fibre and contamination being treated.

At Longueville Carpet & Upholstery Cleaning, we believe excellent carpet cleaning comes from understanding the material and using the correct cleaning chemistry.

We do not routinely use counter-rotating brush (CRB) machines as a standard part of every clean. Although mechanical agitation can be useful in certain situations, unnecessary or aggressive brushing can increase the risk of pile distortion and fibre damage, particularly on vulnerable carpet constructions.

Our preference is to select the correct pre-spray, allow it sufficient time to work and then use powerful professional hot water extraction to remove the released contamination.

Our Airflex Storm 800 van-mounted system provides controlled heated water delivery and powerful vacuum recovery, helping us achieve thorough cleaning and excellent moisture recovery.

With 30 years of experience, we understand that wool carpets, synthetic carpets and delicate materials require different cleaning approaches.

The correct chemistry, appropriate dwell time, controlled temperature and powerful extraction – that is the Longueville approach to professional carpet cleaning.

Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning in Peterborough, Stamford, Cambridgeshire and surrounding counties.

Carpet cleaning solutions cannot simply be applied indiscriminately to every sofa or armchair.

Upholstery fabrics vary considerably in their construction, dye stability, moisture sensitivity and response to cleaning chemistry.

We regularly encounter:

• Polyester and faux suede.
• Microfibre.
• Velvet and velour.
• Wool blends.
• Linen and cotton blends.
• Bouclé.
• Viscose.
• Delicate natural fabrics.

For example, a polyester faux suede sofa can often tolerate a different cleaning approach from a delicate viscose or linen sofa.

Our choice of pre-spray is therefore based on fibre identification, testing and the manufacturer's recommended cleaning procedure.

Where appropriate, S.P.M Atlantic Breeze may be suitable for synthetic upholstery and other tested fabrics.

For more delicate upholstery, we select a more appropriate fabric-specific cleaning solution rather than automatically using one of our stronger carpet pre-sprays.

We also use our professional Sapphire Scientific upholstery cleaning tool to help control moisture application and extraction.

Our objective is not simply to make upholstery look clean. It is to achieve the best possible result while protecting the fabric and its construction.
