Pilgrim Payne & Co ~ Established over 150 years ago, Pilgrim Payne & Co has built an excellent reputation as specialist cleaners of soft furnishings. Founders Mr Pilgrim and Mr Payne started dry-cleaning clothes in 1850, just one year after the very first dry-cleaners, Jolly-Bellin, opened in Paris. Over the years, as the company has evolved, we have expanded our range of services to include curtain making, reupholstery and the restoration of rugs, carpets and tapestries. We also offer a general cleaning service to our London-based clients. Pilgrim Payne prides itself on its efficiency and professionalism and, as holders of 2 Royal Warrants, we ensure that all clients receive the highest level of customer service. As corporate members of the British Interior Design Association we are able to offer advice on every aspect of care and maintenance of curtains, pelmets, swags, tails, festoon blinds, Austrian blinds, lace curtains, voile nets, the list is virtually limitless. We offer a full take down, clean and re-hang service on all curtains, overhead treatments and accessories. We can, if necessary in certain instances, provide an on-site cleaning service for curtains. Our curtain cleaning services include full non-shrinkage guarantees but perhaps, more importantly, whenever dealing with Pilgrim Payne we can offer total peace of mind from a company whose history goes back to 1850. No other company can provide such a pedigree. With years of experience caring for valuable soft furnishings, we can assure clients of the safe and thorough cleaning methods we use to restore the appearance of fine rugs, carpets and tapestries. Pilgrim Payne offers a total care service for carpets and upholstered furniture. As members of the National Carpet Cleaners Association we pride ourselves on our professionalism and the outstanding results achieved for both our domestic and commercial clients. Utilising the latest developments in the field of on-location cleaning we are able to safely clean soft furnishings thoroughly, but with the utmost care. Our intense, yet gentle cleaning methods are guaranteed against shrinkage, and the removal of damaging dirt and grit will not only restore appearance but also prevent premature ageing of the fibres by abrasion. Of course, regular cleaning and maintenance help prolong the life and improve the appearance of carpets and furniture, and our trained staff will happily provide advice and tips on how best to care for your soft furnishings. At Pilgrim Payne we appreciate the fact that specialist rugs and fine carpets differ in their construction and fibre content. Our service is specifically tailored to the materials we are cleaning so that whether we are conditioning a Persian rug or cleaning and re-lustreing a Chinese carpet, the quality of service is of the highest standards, and the care and attention second to none. As specialist dry cleaners, we do of course recommend to our clients that their soft furnishings are cleaned on a regular basis. This is not only to keep them fresh and hygienic but also because accumulated soil and grit reduces carpet and fabric life and enables destructive and health harmful mites and bacteria to work unchecked. For that once a year 'Spring Clean', a much needed clear-up following building work, or a thorough clean for a special occasion, our London-based clients can now avail themselves of our general cleaning services. As always quality of service is our watchword, and our team of professional cleaners are both thorough and discreet. Thorough professional cleaning represents value for money when you consider the cost of replacing carpets, curtains and furniture - and at Pilgrim Payne you can be assured that your soft furnishings are in very safe hands.
