How it works

How We Clean Your Carpet, Step by Step

From inspection to drying, every clean follows the same proven method.

1. Inspect and test

The technician inspects your carpet and runs a pH stain test to choose the safest method.

2. Vacuum and pre-treat

We clear light furniture, vacuum, and apply pre-treatment to stains and high-traffic lanes.

3. Deep clean

We use hot water extraction or dry cleaning, whichever suits your carpet fibres best.

4. Dry and enjoy

Carpets are usually ready to walk on within three to six hours.

Steam or dry

Steam Cleaning or Dry Cleaning, Which Suits Your Carpet

A New Zealand carpet cleaning specialist operating hot water extraction (steam cleaning) machinery.

We use two proven methods and choose the right one for your carpet fibres after inspecting them.

Hot water extraction (steam)

The deepest clean, ideal for most household carpets and ground-in dirt. Drying usually takes three to six hours, depending on thickness, material, and ventilation.

Dry cleaning

A low-moisture option for carpets that need to be back in use quickly, or for delicate fibres that suit minimal water.

To speed up drying after a steam clean, open the windows or turn on airflow. Either way, your technician will recommend the safest method on the day.

Why it matters

The Hidden Cost of Dirty Carpets

Your carpet is the biggest air filter in your home, and it fills up. Dust, pollen, pet dander, and bacteria settle deep into the fibres where vacuuming cannot reach, and the longer they stay the harder they are to remove.

What that means day to day

  • Sneezing and stuffy rooms: trapped allergens affect the air your family breathes every day
  • Odours that linger: pet and spill smells settle into the fibres and vacuuming cannot shift them
  • Carpets ageing early: ground-in grit acts like sandpaper, wearing down fibres and dulling the colour
  • Stains setting in: the longer a spill sits, the deeper it sets and the harder it is to lift

A professional deep clean resets all four. We use eco-friendly, chemical-free methods that reach what your vacuum cannot, leaving no harsh residue behind, so your carpet looks fresher, smells cleaner, and lasts longer.

Carpets and rugs

Rug Cleaning in Wellington

We clean rugs of any material, from everyday floor rugs to delicate and valuable pieces. Rugs often need a gentler, more considered approach than fitted carpet, so the technician inspects the fibres first and chooses a method that lifts dirt and restores colour without damaging the rug.

Our rug cleaning includes

  • Fibre-safe method matched to your rug after a close inspection
  • Stain and odour treatment with free pH testing and pre-treatment
  • Colour and softness restored while protecting delicate fibres
  • Gentle handling of fringes, edges, and backing throughout

Whether it is a wool floor rug in the living room or a treasured piece passed down over the years, it is cleaned with the same care as your carpets, by the same insured local technicians.

Extra protection

Optional Stain Protection and Deodorising

A professional clean restores your carpet, and these two optional extras help keep it that way for longer.

Deodorising

Eliminates trapped odours at the source rather than masking them, leaving a long-lasting fresh finish. It is ideal for homes with pets, smokers, or rooms that never quite air out.

Stain protection

An optional protective treatment that forms a layer over the fibres to repel liquids and help prevent staining for around six months after the service. Spills sit on top long enough to blot away before they soak in, which makes everyday cleaning easier and protects your carpet between professional visits.

Both are optional add-ons you can request when you book, and your technician can advise which suits your carpet and household best.

Usually three to six hours, depending on the carpet thickness, material, and room ventilation. Opening windows or turning on airflow speeds it up, and dry cleaning is ready sooner.

Yes. We use eco-friendly, chemical-free solutions that are safe for children, pets, and allergy-sensitive households.
