Professional rug cleaning

Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning) for rugs

Hot Water Extraction (HWE) is a deep-clean method that lifts embedded dust and grime from many rug fibres and helps improve common stains and odours. We use it where suitable after a quick fibre and dye-stability check.

Great for treating:

  • Food and drink spills
  • Pet accidents and odours
  • Ground-in dust and dirt
  • Hair and everyday build-up

Drying and moisture control

Powerful extraction removes most moisture during cleaning, so rugs are left damp rather than soaked and are typically ready to use within a few hours, depending on airflow and conditions.

The process

Take a closer look at how our rug cleaning service works

Here's what to expect during an on-site rug clean in Melbourne.

Inspection and fibre check

We inspect the rug, check the fibre type and test for dye stability to choose the safest approach.

Dry soil removal

We vacuum thoroughly to remove loose dust, grit and debris trapped in the pile.

Targeted stain and odour pre-treatment

Spots and odours are pre-treated with fibre-appropriate products to help break down residue.

Deep cleaning (steam/HWE where suitable)

We deep clean using Hot Water Extraction (steam cleaning) where suitable for the rug and its condition.

Extraction and finishing

Powerful extraction removes moisture and residue, then we groom the pile to help it dry evenly and look its best.

Drying guidance

Most rugs are ready to use within hours. We'll recommend simple steps to speed drying, like ventilation and airflow.

Frequently asked questions about our rug cleaning

Q: Do you service my area in Melbourne?
A: Yes - we cover Melbourne and many surrounding suburbs. Enter your postcode in the booking form to check live availability.
Q: Do you offer pickup and delivery (off-site rug cleaning)?
A: No - we provide on-site rug cleaning at your address and do not send rugs away for cleaning.
Q: How much is rug cleaning in Melbourne?
A: Prices start from $20 per rug, and the final cost depends on the rug’s size, material and condition. You'll see the price upfront during booking.
Q: What's included in the service?
A: A technician will inspect the rug, remove dry soil, apply stain or odour pre-treatment where suitable, then deep clean using a fibre-appropriate approach and finish with thorough extraction.
Q: Is steam cleaning safe for rugs?
A: For many rugs, yes - steam cleaning (Hot Water Extraction) is an effective deep-clean option when the fibre and dyes allow it. For delicate or moisture-sensitive rugs, the technician will use a safer low-moisture approach.
Q: How long does rug cleaning take and when will it be dry?
A: Cleaning time depends on the number and size of rugs. After we finish, most rugs are ready to use within a few hours, depending on airflow, humidity and temperature.
Q: Can you remove pet urine and unpleasant smells from rugs?
A: We can treat many pet odours and urine spots with targeted deodorisers and treatments, then deep clean the rug. Results depend on how long the accident has been there and whether it has reached the underlay or floor beneath.
Q: Can you guarantee that stains will be removed?
A: We can successfully treat many common household stains, but results depend on the rug fibre, stain type, how long it has been there, and any previous cleaning products used. Some substances can permanently damage fibres or dye, so full removal can’t be guaranteed.
Q: How do you clean wool or Persian rugs?
A: We start with a fibre and dye-stability check, then choose the safest method for that rug’s material and condition. If you’re unsure what your rug is made of, book normally and we’ll confirm the best approach on arrival.
Q: Can I book a rug cleaning service on the weekend?
A: Yes - we offer bookings 7 days a week, including weekends and public holidays, with available times shown in the online booking form.
Q: Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
A: Please make sure we can access the rug and clear small items from around it. You don't need to vacuum beforehand (we'll remove dry soil as part of the service), and if you won’t be home, you can leave clear access instructions.
