Ideal for delicate carpets or where minimal drying time is needed. A biodegradable compound is worked into the carpet and vacuumed away, taking dirt with it.
High-temperature steam penetrates fibres to kill bacteria, dust mites and allergens while lifting embedded soiling. Excellent for homes with pets, children or allergy sufferers.
Specialist pre-treatment for stubborn stains including red wine, coffee, pet urine and grease. Applied before the main clean to maximise removal.
An optional post-clean application that creates an invisible barrier in carpet fibres, making future spills easier to clean and slowing re-soiling.
Professional-grade deodorisers neutralise odours at the source — ideal for pet odours, musty smells or rental properties.

Drying time depends on the cleaning method used. Hot water extraction typically takes 2–4 hours depending on ventilation and temperature. Dry cleaning methods dry more quickly than hot water extraction, however drying time is always dependent on air flow and temperature regardless of method. For end of lease cleans, the tenant and carpet cleaner have no ability to assist the drying process once the property has been vacated — any intervention required to aid drying will need to come from the property manager or owner. We recommend keeping foot traffic low until carpets are fully dry.
Unfortunately, pet urine in carpet is one of the few problems that cannot be reliably fixed by cleaning alone. Urine contains uric acid, which forms crystals deep in carpet fibres, backing and underlay. These crystals are largely insoluble — they sit dormant when dry but reactivate when moisture is present, which is why the smell often returns after cleaning or on humid days. The affected area in the underlay can be up to three times larger than the visible surface stain. In severe cases, urine penetrates through to the subfloor, at which point no amount of carpet cleaning will eliminate the odour. This article explains the chemistry in detail. Before any work is carried out, we use a hydro probe to test the extent of the contamination and provide an honest assessment of what is and is not achievable. In many cases, carpet replacement is the only permanent solution.
The method of costing is straightforward — a quote is provided at the time of first contact via email or SMS, depending on your preferred method of communication. The final cost is determined on the day and depends on the total area of carpet to be cleaned and the level of soiling. Each carpeted room is accurately measured with a laser measure — and if furniture remains in place and is not being moved, the carpet beneath it is not included in the measurement or the cost.

Every 12–18 months for most households. More frequently if you have pets, young children or allergy sufferers. High-traffic areas may benefit from cleaning every 6–12 months.
