FAQs
Do I need to move my furniture?
No, we’ll move and shuffle around your furniture to clean every inch of your carpet. However, if the furniture is:
- Older and Sentimental
- Damaged
- Valuable
- Exceedingly heavy
We’ll have a quick chat with you to discuss whether we should work around, or if you are happy to have us move things like the items listed above
Do I need to vacuum before you arrive?
This is not necessary at all. But would allow us to get stuck right in to the carpet extraction.
We do however, kindly ask that you pickup any personal items from the floor and/or things like children’s toys that could be sucked into the machine
Is stain removal guaranteed?
Unfortunately it’s very hard to guarantee stain removal as part of our service. Whilst we have a range of stain removal chemicals and methods. Things like age, severity and type of material make it so that there is a possibility that some staining is permanent
Having said that, you can be rest assured that your carpeting, furniture and mattresses have been deeply cleaned, refreshed and extracted.
Pet urine. What to expect
Pet mistakes are best treated as fast as possible. Whilst we use specialised chemicals to treat pet soiling, there are a few factors that can make it an uphill battle and something that may need a few treatments to fix.
Things like:
- Age
- Under veldt/under flooring saturated
- Type of rug/fabric/carpeting
- Chronic soiling
Please let us know if we will be treating any pet soiling, to give you a realistic expectation and provide you with tips to keep treating affected areas in the event of extreme soiling. This especially with older or under veldt affected areas.
Note: In some cases older soiling can be ‘locked in’ and once we introduce water, reactivate the odour as it starts to dry - which sometimes happens in the coming hours. Whilst we try our best to get ahead of such situations, it can be tricky to notice immediately and as a result may need further treatment.
Please reach out if this is the case
Do you clean Jute or Natural Fibre rugs?
Unfortunately we do not offer a cleaning service for any natural fibre rugs.
These are notoriously difficult to clean as they are very susceptible to discolouring, shrinkage and are very difficult to remove odours from.
In the event you would still like us to attempt a clean, please be aware of the risks as mentioned above
Mattress staining?
Unfortunately we cannot guarantee stain removal from mattresses. Whilst we do use various stain removal methods, we don’t use any heavy bleaching products.
What we can guarantee is a deep cleaned, refreshed and sanitised mattress
Note: It can be common for moisture to make any staining more visible. Often times as a mattress dries, these marks disappear almost completely.
Dry time?
Dry time is heavily dependent on a few factors like:
- Weather
- Air flow
- Pet soiling
- Staining
- Condition
Whilst weather is a factor, the bigger factor is air flow. If drying time is a concern we recommend the use of household fans to assist with air flow. This can make a noticeable difference
As a rough guide:
Good air flow - 6 to 12 hours
Low air flow - 6 to 24 hours
Can I walk on the carpet after cleaning?
Absolutely. Our only recommendation is with clean feet or shoes
Note: Whilst the carpet it damp, any marks should lift easily with a little bit of dish soap and a cloth
How often should I clean my carpets?
We recommend every 6-12 months. With any significant spills, stains or pet soiling to be treated as they happen
Older carpets, what to expect
Carpets are considered to have a life span of anywhere from 10-25 years
As a result, its best to error on the side of caution with what to expect when it comes to older carpets
In general old carpets can still achieve a great result however, things like damaged fibres, old stains and high traffic lanes are often affected permanently
Car Upholstery, what to expect
This service includes:
- Seats
- Headrests
- Mats
- Carpeting surrounding the mats
Unfortunately we do not offer a conventional Valet service
Note: We do not offer headliner cleaning
