What our carpet cleaning service includes
Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)
Hot water extraction injects hot water at high pressure, helping loosen embedded dirt, oils, and debris from carpet fibres. The method is especially useful when paired with the right pre-treatment for the carpet and type of soiling.
- Deep cleaning with hot water helps lift embedded soil from carpet fibres.
- The heat can reduce common bacteria, mould spores, dust mites, and allergens.
- Professional-grade temperature and suction help balance cleaning performance with drying time.
- Dry times are usually between 4 and 8 hours, depending on carpet type, pile thickness, airflow, and how much soil needs to be removed.
- High water temperature can help strip greasy soiling from carpets in pubs, restaurants, and other high-use spaces.
