If you live near Kingston Road in Old Malden, you already know carpets take a daily beating. Mud from the pavement, pet paws after a quick walk, crumbs from the kitchen, and the odd spill that looked harmless at first.

Spilt coffee on a pale banquette, sauce on a busy lunch table, red wine on an upholstered chair after a private booking, it all happens faster than you can say "we'll sort that later.

If your sofa has started to look a little tired, or a favourite armchair is carrying the marks of daily life, you are not alone.
