Carpets get dirty gradually. So slowly that sometimes we don’t notice it until we move furniture, or a visitor points it out. By the time you can see the soiling the carpet has already been damaged as that soiling is crushed into the fibres underfoot every time you walk on it.
Carpet cleaning needs 3 main things.
A good carpet cleaner should leave the carpets dry after 2 to 6 hours.
Not cleaning your carpets is like not washing your clothes. We wash our clothes to remove sweat, body oils and odours. We also have those issues with our carpet from our feet. And in most cases, we spill things or have pets on our carpet too.
Generally, carpet cleaners have different packages depending on the type of fibre eg. Wool or the level of soiling or cleaning that is required. Standard packages for low-level soiling start at about $50 per room and can go up to $80 per room for the deluxe.
To clean 2 rooms of carpet, it is generally our minimum service fee of $150. Keep in mind this price includes our travel to the property, unrolling fresh water, solution and suction hoses.
We also take the time to inspect the carpet for any possible pre-existing issues. We then pre-spray your carpet, clean and extract.
The cost to get carpets cleaned in a 3 bedroom house can depend on a variety of factors including:
Each of these areas needs to be incorporated into the cost of carpet cleaning for your home.
It really depends on the amount of traffic and the area/environment the property is in.
It is recommended by the manufacturer to have the carpets professional steam cleaned every 12 months. This is actually part of your new carpet warranty. Not having them cleaned can void your 25-year warranty so always keep the receipts.
Generally, when homes have children or pets we recommend cleaning the carpet every 6 months as more foot traffic (especially barefoot) comes from kids and pets. Also, the potential for accidents and food spills is higher or more frequent.
Yes, professional carpet cleaning is better than doing it yourself, for a number of reasons.
Firstly, professionals use truck-mounted steam cleaning machines worth $30,000-$40,000. Truck-mounted machines are expensive because they do such a great job. In comparison to store hire machines, the difference is chalk and cheese.
Truckmounts deliver 95C+ at the wand whereas hire machines only use water that comes from your tap. Once you bucket it in, it loses heat and while waiting it cools down to lukewarm which isn’t much better than cold water. The hire machines have very low suction in comparison to truck mounts. Portables are between 120-180 cfm whereas truckmounts generally have 300 to 400 cfm. This is why carpets cleaned with truckmounts dry in hours as opposed to portable which can take days - as well as leave a smell. Hire machines also use a process where you spray the product and then rinse water in the same hit leaving residue in the carpet. Truckmount steam cleaning requires a pre-spray to be applied and the clean or neutralising water is used to extract dirt and any residue.
Professional carpet cleaners also have training in the fibres, chemistry and science behind carpet cleaning. It’s not as simple as you might think. For example, wool can only have products used on it with a pH of between 4.5 and 8.5. What pH is your product?
Yes, it is recommended that you vacuum before you have your carpets cleaned. Removing dry particulates makes the carpet steam cleaning produce better results.
In fact, vacuuming twice a week is usually recommended even if you don’t walk on it. Carpet fibres are the lungs of your home and absorb dust and oily soil particles like exhaust in regional areas.
Steam cleaning the carpet in your home is safe and extracts the soil. Dry cleaning only picks up what the pad on the scrubber can hold in when full and just moves the soil around the room.
After having the carpet in your property steam cleaned, generally, you can walk on it within 2 hours. Even less in the summer.
To prepare the carpet in your home for cleaning you should ensure that the driveway to your property is clear to allow the cleaning van easy access to your property.
You should also ensure you pick up everything off of the floor that is moveable.
Nobody shampoos carpets anymore. It was an old type of cleaning method that is obsolete. So yes it is recommended to have the carpet in your property steam cleaned.
No, you don't need to vacuum after your carpet has been cleaned. However, once it is dry you are welcome to do so.

Our products help your carpet to look its cleanest and feel great under foot, almost like a fabric softener for your feet. We get these great results by:
Urine stains are very complex in nature as they are released as an acid and as they dry becoming alkaline. During this time alkaline crystals form that emit ammonia and trap ecoli. Hence the odour. Removing these uric crystals is essential in removing the odour. Specilaised products are needed to do neutralise the crystals and also truckmount suction to extract as many crystals as possible. Odours are not the only issue with urine. Stains are another. Urine can cause permanent damage to wool carpet fibres and destablise dyes in synthetics as well. It is very important to get onto these accidents as soon as possible. Ask for the our Urine decontamination treatment or stain treatment when you book your carpets. Protectors after cleaning can also aid in stains and odours being able to be removed easier and more successfully for homes where these are often issues.
