What happens when we clean your carpets?
Every carpet is different. Some have everyday dirt from regular use, while others have visible marks, spills or areas that receive more foot traffic. Before arranging the work, we want to understand the condition of your carpet and the areas that need attention. This helps us establish what needs to be covered and provide a quote based on the job.
Here is what you can expect before the cleaning appointment:
We understand the job. Tell us which rooms or areas need cleaning and whether there are any visible stains or particular concerns.
We review the carpet. We need to understand the carpeted areas, their condition and the work requested.
We agree on the scope. We'll explain what has been included in your quote before the appointment.
We arrange the cleaning. Once the details are agreed, we'll arrange a suitable time for the work.
Carpet cleaning for different properties
Not every property uses its carpets in the same way. A family lounge, an office and an apartment hallway have different cleaning needs. We provide carpet cleaning for the following customer types.
Residential carpet cleaning
Carpets in homes collect everyday dust, dirt and marks from regular foot traffic. Living rooms, bedrooms, hallways and other carpeted areas can gradually lose their fresh appearance. If your carpets need attention, tell us which rooms you would like cleaned and whether there are particular areas causing concern.
Commercial carpet cleaning
Office carpets receive regular foot traffic from employees, visitors and customers. Entryways, meeting rooms and shared work areas can become visibly dirty over time. We provide carpet cleaning for commercial spaces. For a quote, let us know the size of the workplace and which carpeted areas need attention. Commercial Cleaning Canberra
Strata carpet cleaning
Shared carpeted areas in apartment buildings and residential complexes need attention too. Depending on the property, this may include shared corridors and other carpeted common areas. If you're a strata manager or committee representative, tell us which areas need cleaning and whether the work is a one-off job or part of ongoing property maintenance. Strata Cleaning Canberra
Rental carpet cleaning
Moving out of a rental property? Carpet condition is often part of the final property inspection. If you need carpet cleaning before handing back the keys, check your tenancy agreement and arrange the work early enough to allow for the cleaning and drying process.
Keep a dated invoice that lists the rooms cleaned. This gives you a record of the service if your property manager requests it.
What changes the price of a carpet clean
We don’t publish one price, because carpet jobs aren’t one size. Two flats with the same number of bedrooms can need very different work. Here’s what moves a quote:
- Rooms and area. How many rooms, and roughly how big.
- Stairs. Carpeted stairs and landings take extra time.
- Condition. Everyday dirt is one job. Heavily marked or well-worn walkways are another.
- Stains and pet accidents. Tell us what happened and how long ago.
- Access. Parking, stairs, or lift bookings in an apartment building.
- Furniture. How much is in the way.
Send us your suburb, your room count and a short description of the worst spots. That’s all we need to start. Request a free quote.
How long until the carpet is dry?
It depends on the cleaning method, the carpet and the room. In a Canberra winter, a cold, closed-up room dries slowly.A few things help:Keep the heating on and open a window if you can.Book a morning slot so the carpet has the whole day.Wait until it feels completely dry before putting furniture back or walking on it in shoes.If you have a rental inspection, finish the clean a couple of days before it, not the morning of.
Before we arrive
You don’t need to prepare much. A few small things make the visit quicker:
- Pick up toys, shoes and loose items from the floor.
- Put fragile things somewhere safe.
- Point out any stains or problem areas.
- Make sure we can get to every room.
- If you’re in an apartment, sort out parking or lift access.
Stains, pets and smells
Spills happen. Some come out easily and some don’t. The result depends on what was spilled, how long ago, the carpet fibre and whether anything has already been tried on it.
While you wait for us:
- Blot a fresh spill gently. Don’t rub it in.
- Don’t mix different cleaning products on the same patch.
- Tell us if you’ve already treated it.
No cleaner can promise every stain or smell will go. If we think a mark is likely to stay, we’ll say so up front.
Moving out of a rental?
Carpet is often part of the final inspection. A few things worth doing:
- Read your tenancy agreement. Check whether it says anything about carpet.
- Book early. Leave time for the clean and for the carpet to dry.
- List your carpeted rooms. Tell us which ones when you get a quote.
- Keep a dated invoice that lists the rooms cleaned. It’s a handy record if your property manager asks.
Carpet cleaning isn’t the same as a full end-of-lease clean. If you need other cleaning too, ask us about it separately.

What Our Customers Say
Carpet cleaning in Canberra: common questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Canberra?
It depends on the number of rooms, the carpeted area, stairs, condition and access. We give free quotes. Send us your suburb and room count and we’ll price the job, rather than guess from a general range.
How long does carpet take to dry after cleaning?
It depends on the method, the carpet and the room. In a cold Canberra winter it takes longer. Keep the heating on, open a window, and book a morning slot so the carpet has the day to dry.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Most cleaners suggest about once a year for a regularly used home, and up to around 18 months for a quiet one. Pets, children, allergies or busy walkways mean more often. Start with the lounge and hallway, which wear first.
Can you remove old carpet stains?
Some come out and some don’t. It depends on the stain, how long it’s been there, and the carpet fibre. Tell us what it is and how old it is before you book, and we’ll be honest about what to expect.
Do you clean carpet in rental properties?
Yes. Tell us your handover or inspection date and which rooms are carpeted. Book early enough that the carpet is dry before the inspection, and keep a dated invoice for your records.
Do you offer professional carpet cleaning for businesses?
Yes. We handle professional carpet cleaning for offices and other commercial spaces. Tell us the size of the space, the carpeted areas and when you’d like us to come.
Do you clean carpet in apartment buildings?
Yes, for individual apartments and for shared areas in apartment buildings. For a flat, tell us about parking and lift access. For shared areas, tell us which corridors or common areas, and how often.
