B&B Carpet Cleaning at the Dartmoor Inn, Merrivale

Country Inn Carpet Deep Cleaning: Dartmoor Inn, Merrivale


B&B carpet cleaning on Dartmoor has its own challenges, and the Dartmoor Inn in Merrivale shows why. The inn sits right on the moor, so it is a natural stop for walkers exploring this stretch of Dartmoor. As a result, the carpets in its five-room B&B take a fair bit of punishment.

Most guests arrive after a day on the footpaths. However careful they are, moorland mud finds its way past the doormat. From there, it works into the pile of the bedroom and corridor carpets. Wet boots and rucksacks add to the wear as well.

This job focused entirely on the B&B side of the inn. I cleaned the five guest bedrooms, along with the corridors and communal areas guests pass through. The pub itself stayed outside this job.

B&B Carpet Cleaning on Dartmoor in Low Season

The inn booked me during low season. That gave me the chance to work through the whole space properly. There was no pressure of a same-day changeover between guests, so each room got the time it needed.

Moorland mud behaves differently to ordinary household dirt. It is finer and drier once feet press it into the carpet. Instead of sitting on the surface, it settles deep into the pile. That is exactly why a standard vacuum never quite gets on top of it.

I used my Prochem Steempro Power Plus with the Magma in-line heater in every room. The hot water extraction lifted soiling that had built up over a busy walking season. In the end, the carpets came back to an even, consistent colour throughout. Drying times stayed short, so each room was soon ready for guests again.
