Carpet steam cleaning is the name most people use for hot water extraction. The machine does not actually blast steam. Instead it sprays heated water and a cleaning solution deep into the pile and then pulls it straight back out with strong suction. That rinse lifts the fine grit, dust and old detergent residue that settles below the surface, which is why carpet often looks brighter and feels softer after a steam clean in Fortitude Valley homes.
This method suits most wool and synthetic carpets, and it is a good choice when carpet has not been cleaned for a year or more, or when there are pets and kids in the home. When you call, we ask about the rooms, the carpet type if you are sure of it, and anything else you want done. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby crew. The crew we book arrives with a portable or van mounted machine, depending on the building and how far the hoses need to run from the street. Before the wet clean starts, the carpet is vacuumed with a strong upright machine so loose grit does not turn into mud in the pile.

Steam cleaned carpet usually dries within a few hours, faster with the air conditioning on and windows open. Keep foot traffic light until it feels dry, and use clean socks rather than shoes. Apartments and houses across Fortitude Valley book this regularly, often with a rug or couch added. It pairs well with a protector treatment afterwards.
