2. How soon after the carpets have been cleaned can I walk on them?
You can walk on carpets immediately! However the carpets normally take 2-4 hours to dry completely so it is best to keep furniture off them for the first few hours.

3. Can you also clean rugs?
Yes we clean rugs and also upholstery.

4. Will there be a musty ‘wet’ smell after the carpets have been cleaned?
No, absolutely not! We use powerful modern equipment that extracts the vast majority of water from the carpet immediately. The carpet should be dry within 2-4 hours depending on temperature and humidity.

5. How frequently should my carpets be cleaned?
We strongly recommend that carpets be professionally cleaned at least once every 12 months. However high traffic areas may require more frequent cleaning. Carpets should also be professionally spot cleaned as soon as possible after mishaps, soils and stains.

6. Will you move furniture?
If furniture removal is required, reasonable costs for this service will be included in the quoted price.

Yes! We have specialised Contractors who can clean high windows professionally and safely.

3. Do the current water restrictions affect your service?
We have a current business water exemption permit with NSW Water. We are committed to operating our business environmentally therefore we always ensure we use water as efficiently and sparingly as possible.
