Carpet steam cleaning, also called hot water extraction, is a deep clean you can give wall-to-wall carpet at home. Hot water and a cleaning solution are sprayed into the pile, then pulled straight back out with the loosened grime by a strong vacuum. We book carpet steam cleaning for New Farm homes with a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing on the phone.
Steam cleaning suits carpet that looks dull or grey across the traffic lanes, carpet that has not been cleaned in a few years, and carpet in homes with pets or young children. It is also a common booking when people move house. The crew works in slow, overlapping passes so the whole room gets an even result.
- Dry vacuum to lift loose grit first
- Pre-spray to break down oily soil in the traffic lanes
- Hot water extraction in slow, overlapping passes
- Extra suction passes to reduce drying time
- Edges and corners cleaned by hand where the wand cannot reach
The main risk with steam cleaning is over-wetting, which slows drying and can bring marks back up from the backing. The crew keeps the spray measured and the suction heavy to avoid that. With windows open or fans running, most carpet is dry enough to walk on within a few hours, though thick wool pile can take longer in the humid months.
Carpet steam cleaning pairs well with a mattress clean in the same bedroom, so the whole room is done in one visit. A fabric protector can be added afterwards if you like. To book, call 07 3543 2096 with the number of rooms and we will set up a crew that works across New Farm.
