Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning
Why Get Your Carpets Cleaned?
Built up soil and grit are major causes of reduced carpet life. Regular cleaning keeps the carpets looking new and contributes to their longevity. Your carpet will not only look great but will also feel fresh and clean.
When we clean your carpets we’ll give all stains an initial treatment – without any extra cost. We find that most spots, stains and marks are either removed or satisfactorally reduced with this initial treatment. Further, more detailed stain treatments can be discussed as we do our walk-through.
Benefits of Upholstery Cleaning
Dust and natural body oils can clog the pores of your furniture’s fabric leaving your upholstery looking dull. Proper cleaning to industry standard will soften and brighten your upholstery and fabrics making them more pleasurable to use and enabling them to last longer.
Set stains on upholstery can be very difficult to remedy, we recommend that you contact us immediately should you have any spills on cotton or linen furnature. Additionally, our upholstery cleaning techniques can be used on mattresses, squabs, car upholstery and even curtains.
We Use Hot Water Extraction
Though commonly called “Steam Cleaning”, the process of carpet and upholstery cleaning we use is officially termed, “Hot Water Extraction”. This is because the water used can at times reach temperatures as high as 120 degrees Celsius. But the hot water is really only the rinse cycle of the carpet cleaning process. The typical cleaning method involves preconditioning the soiled carpets with a cleaning agent, which after being given sufficient dwell time is extracted with the above mentioned rinse cycle. This process is recognized in the AS/NZS 3733:1995 to be the only method effective in leaving minimal residues in the carpet.
