Stairs take more foot traffic than almost any other part of the home, and every step lands in the same spot. That means grit wears the front edge of each tread quickly, and dark traffic marks build up down the middle. In Brisbane townhouses and two-storey homes, the stairs are often the first place carpet starts to look tired.
Stair carpet cannot be cleaned with the large floor tools used in open rooms, so the crew we book uses hand tools and upholstery wands to clean each tread, riser and edge. It takes longer than a room of the same size, which is why stairs are priced separately. Carpeted landings, the strip along the wall and the nosing at the front of each step all get attention.
- A slow vacuum of each tread, edge and riser
- Pre-treatment of traffic marks and stains
- Hand-tool steam cleaning of every step
- Cleaning of landings and the carpet at the head and foot of the stairs
- Grooming of the pile so it dries evenly
Stairs are usually dry within a few hours, but they are one place where slipping is a real risk while carpet is damp. Use the handrail, walk slowly and keep kids and pets off the stairs until they are dry. If you need the stairs straight away, mention it when you book, and the crew can use a low-moisture method or clean half the width at a time.
When you call, tell us how many steps there are, whether the stairs are straight or turn a corner, and if there are landings. We give you upfront pricing on the phone. To book stair carpet cleaning in Brisbane, call 07 3916 2932 and a local crew will be lined up.
