Carpet holds onto smells. Cooking from an open plan kitchen, smoke drifting in from a balcony, wet gym gear and damp winter air all settle into the fibres and backing, and an apartment can smell stale even when it looks clean. Carpet deodorising is an add-on to a carpet clean in Fortitude Valley that works on the smell itself, instead of covering it with a scent that fades in a day or two.
When you call, tell us which rooms smell and what you think the cause is. We give you a price range and book a nearby crew. The crew we book first cleans the carpet with hot water extraction, which rinses out much of the grime and residue that holds odours. A deodorising solution is then applied evenly across the room, with extra attention to corners, doorways and the areas near beds, couches and balcony doors, where smells tend to build up the most. The crew can also deodorise rugs and fabric couches in the same room, since they often hold the same smell as the carpet around them.

Once the crew leaves, airflow does a lot of the work. Open windows and balcony doors, run fans and let the room air out for the afternoon. If the smell comes from a pet accident, ask about pet urine treatment as well, since urine needs its own approach. Apartments that have been closed up for a while, such as between tenants, often respond well. Units and homes across Fortitude Valley often add this before guests arrive. Call 07 3543 9424 to book.
