Our professional carpet cleaning process

1 .

Preparation

Before anything else, we move any light furniture and items out of the way to give our technicians clear, unobstructed access to your carpet. We then carry out a thorough pre-inspection to identify the carpet’s fibre type and condition, this tells us exactly which cleaning method is the safest and most effective for your specific carpet.
2 .

Pre treatment

Once we know what we’re working with, we apply a targeted stain pre-treatment to any visible stains, heavily soiled patches, and high-traffic areas. This step is important, it helps break down built-up grime and loosen stubborn marks before the main clean even begins, giving you a far deeper result.
3 .

Deep carpet cleaning

This is where the real work happens. We use professional hot water extraction (HWE) to clean deep into the carpet fibres, lifting out dirt, odours, allergens, pet hair, and dust mites – without leaving any chemical residue behind. Note: For delicate or moisture-sensitive carpets – such as those made from wool, silk, or viscose, we offer low-moisture dry cleaning as a safe alternative.
4 .

Drying and aftercare

Once the cleaning is complete, we can apply a deodorising treatment to the cleaned areas if requested. Drying time is typically 3-6 hours for carpets, depending on fibre type, room temperature, and ventilation. Important: We recommend adding stain protection after your professional clean. It creates a protective barrier on carpet fibres, helping repel spills and making day to day maintenance easier.

Melbourne carpet cleaning services FAQ

How often should I professionally clean my carpets, and why is regular carpet cleaning essential?
Experts recommend that you have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once every 6 -12 months. Depending on the condition of high-traffic areas and the type of carpet you have, they may require more frequent cleaning. Regular carpet cleaning is essential because it removes dirt, dust, and other contaminants that accumulate over time and can damage your carpet fibres. It also improves the air quality in your home and reduces the risk of allergies and respiratory problems.
Can professional steam carpet cleaning remove all types of stains?
Professional carpet cleaning can remove most stains, including food, drink, pet, and dirt. However, some stains, such as red wine or ink, may require specialised treatment. The age of the stain and whether other chemicals have been used in the past can also impact our ability to remove tough stains. In such cases, it’s essential to inform your carpet cleaning professional about the type of stain so that they can use the appropriate treatment method.
Can carpet cleaning remove pet odours?
Yes, professional carpet cleaning can remove pet odours. Pet urine and faeces can leave a strong odour in your carpet fibres. Professional carpet cleaning can remove the smell using specialised cleaning solutions and deodorizers that neutralise the odour-causing bacteria.
Can carpet cleaning damage my carpet fibres?
Professional carpet cleaning should not damage your carpet fibres if done correctly. However, if the wrong cleaning method or cleaning solutions are used, it can damage your carpet fibres. That’s why hiring a professional carpet cleaning service that uses safe and effective cleaning methods and solutions is essential.
Can I clean my carpets myself, or should I hire a professional carpet cleaning service?
While cleaning your carpets yourself using a rental machine is possible, professional carpet cleaning is recommended for several reasons. Firstly, professional carpet cleaning is more effective and thorough than DIY cleaning. Secondly, professional carpet cleaning is safer for your carpet fibres and reduces the risk of damage. Lastly, professional carpet cleaning saves you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other tasks.
Do you move furniture?
Usually, for carpet cleaning, we send only one technician. We could help you move light furniture; if any furniture cannot be moved, we will clean around it and underneath as much as we can.
Will I be charged if we reschedule or cancel the carpet cleaning booking?
We understand that unexpected things happen. However, we would appreciate at least 48 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your service. Otherwise, a cancellation fee would be applied per our terms and conditions.
How much is carpet cleaning in Melbourne?
The cost of carpet cleaning in Melbourne depends on factors like the size of the area, the type of carpet, and the cleaning method required. At Paul’s Cleaning Melbourne, we offer affordable and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Contact us for a free quote tailored to your specific carpet cleaning needs.
Is dry cleaning or steam cleaning carpet better?
Both methods have their benefits. Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) is highly effective for deep cleaning, removing dirt, bacteria, and allergens. Dry cleaning is a quicker process with minimal drying time, ideal for light maintenance cleans. At Paul’s Cleaning Melbourne, we offer both options and can recommend the best method based on your carpet type and condition.
Is professional carpet cleaning worth it?
Yes! Professional carpet cleaning extends the lifespan of your carpets, removes stubborn stains, and eliminates allergens and bacteria that household vacuuming can’t reach. Our expert service ensures a fresher, healthier indoor environment and enhances the look of your carpets, making it a worthwhile investment.
Is it worth cleaning a 20 year old carpet?
If your carpet is still structurally sound, professional cleaning can significantly refresh its appearance and hygiene. Our deep cleaning process removes built-up dirt and odors, helping to restore even older carpets. However, if the carpet is severely worn or damaged, replacement may be a better option. We can assess its condition and advise you on the best course of action.
