We test your carpet’s pH level to ensure our cleaning solutions are matched to its unique chemistry - protecting fibres and maximising results.​

💧 Pre-Treatment Spray
A targeted, professional pre-spray breaks down embedded grime and loosens stubborn stains.​

💨 Fast-Dry Airflow Assistance
We use airflow blowers during the clean to speed up the drying process and reduce overall drying time.

♨️ Deep Steam Extraction
Using top-tier hot water extraction, we deep-clean your carpet fibres and lift out built-up dirt and bacteria.​

🧼 Carpet Grooming
A final groom resets the fibres, prevents shading, and leaves a uniform, professional finish.

Frequently asked questions

How Often should you get your carpets cleaned?

How often you should clean your carpets depends on several factors — including foot traffic, whether you wear shoes indoors, how often you vacuum, and whether a carpet protector has been applied. Homes without a carpet protector are more prone to dirt and staining, which can settle deep into the fibres and become harder to remove over time.

Most carpet manufacturers recommend professional carpet cleaning at least once a year to maintain both the appearance and lifespan of your carpet. Regular cleaning helps prevent wear and tear, as dirt and debris can scratch, matt, and etch carpet fibres over time (which is why frequent vacuuming is just as important) . It also improves indoor air quality and extends the life of your carpet — protecting your investment in the long run.

How soon can I walk on the carpet after cleaning?

You can walk on your carpets immediately after cleaning, but we recommend doing so with clean socks or indoor shoes to avoid re-soiling while they’re still damp. For best results, allow 4–6 hours of drying time with good airflow and ventilation. Avoid placing furniture or rugs back until the carpet is fully dry to prevent staining or moisture damage.

We always leave carpets as dry as possible with our equipment, but if you’d like to speed up the drying process, simple airflow can help:

• Open windows and doors (if weather allows) to create cross-breeze.

• Use ceiling fans to keep air moving across the carpet.

• Use an air conditioner or dehumidifier if humidity is high (helps remove moisture from the air).

What exactly is carpet protection?

Carpet protection is often marketed as a way to prevent stains - but in reality, it’s more accurate to call it a stain resister than a full-proof shield. It doesn’t completely stop spills & stains from happening, but it does slow absorption and how bad a stain gets - giving you more time to act and reducing how severe the stain becomes. It also makes the stain easier to clean.

The real benefit of applying carpet protector is in preserving your carpet’s appearance and lifespan. It adds a coating to the carpet fibres, which helps keep dirt and debris near the surface. This makes vacuuming and professional cleaning far more effective. Without it, soils can sink deeper into the base of the carpet where they’re harder to remove - and over time, that trapped dirt can scratch, matt, and wear down your carpet.
