Carpet steam cleaning, also called hot water extraction, is the deepest clean most carpet can have in the home. Hot water and a cleaning solution are sprayed into the pile and pulled straight back out with strong suction, taking grit, dust, spills and body oils with them. For a busy Brisbane hallway or family room, it is the difference between a surface tidy and a proper clean down to the base of the fibres.
Before any water goes near the carpet, the crew we book checks what it is made of and how it is laid. Nylon and polyester carpets suit hot water extraction well. Wool carpet needs cooler water and a gentler solution, and older carpets with weak backing may need less moisture.

Most carpet is dry to the touch within four to eight hours, though thick wool carpet on a humid summer day can take longer. The crew will tell you how to speed up drying with fans, air conditioning or open windows. Walk on it in clean socks rather than bare feet or shoes until it is fully dry, and keep pets off it for a few hours.
When you call, tell us how many rooms have carpet, whether there are stairs or a hallway, and any stains or pet accidents. We give you upfront pricing on the phone. To book carpet steam cleaning in Brisbane, call 07 3916 2932 and we will line up a local crew.
