We've been using Spot The Difference for a few years now. The nature of our manufacturing business means we have lots of dirty boots making their way to our office, leading to many ingrained marks. I'm pleasantly surprised every time by just how well the carpets recover. Conveniently, the work is done on a Saturday when our offices are closed. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Spot The Difference.

Lucy is excellent on communication, always replying quickly and clearly. Richard is brilliant at cleaning and very considerate about furniture moving, flexibility and extremely thorough. He is also generous with information and tips over eg potential moth damage. Marvellous value over many years for us; I do not believe we could do better.

Great service--my deeply dog-trodden sofa came up like new. It had been a dog bed for years, so it was as good a challenge as an upholstery cleaner is likely to get! Richard cleaned the cushions five times to get it sparkling and you can see the difference. He also got an old watermark out of a light-coloured chair. He and Lucy were very friendly too. I'd definitely recommend.
