Our process
We walk through each room, identify fibre types, map stain locations, and assess soil load to choose the right chemistry.
Spot treatments are applied to stains. Traffic lanes are agitated with a carpet rake to loosen compacted soil before extraction.
The extraction wand delivers a pressurised hot water rinse and simultaneously vacuums out dissolved soil and detergent residue.
A plant-based deodoriser is applied where needed to neutralise pet, smoke, or food odours — not just mask them.
Air movers are positioned to accelerate drying. We advise on ventilation settings to get your rooms back in use as quickly as possible.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a carpet steam clean take?
A standard 3-bedroom home typically takes 2–3 hours, including pre-inspection, spot treatment, extraction, and drying setup. We provide an accurate time estimate when confirming your booking.
When can I walk on the carpet after a steam clean?
Most carpets are safe to walk on within 2–4 hours when air movers are used. Full drying of the pile and backing takes 4–8 hours depending on ventilation and pile depth.
Is steam cleaning safe for all carpet types?
We conduct a fibre test and soil analysis during the pre-inspection. Steam cleaning suits most synthetic and wool carpets. Where a fibre is sensitive to heat or moisture, we will recommend dry cleaning instead.
Are the products safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use biodegradable, low-VOC detergents that are safe for people and pets once the carpet is dry. An unscented deodoriser is available for households with fragrance sensitivities.
