What services does your Brisbane-based carpet cleaning company provide?
We offer a range of services for both domestic home owners and commercial properties. These services include deep steam cleaning, dry cleaning, upholstery cleaning, rug cleaning, stain removal, odour elimination and commercial carpet cleaning.
Are there different methods for cleaning carpets?
Yes, we utilise numerous methods such as hot water extraction or steaming, dry-cleaning and encapsulation.
Why can´t I just clean my carpets myself?
Regular vacuuming and mopping can improve the cleanliness and longevity of your carpets. However, even if you do a good job, settled dirt, allergens and crumbs may be left behind. Professional carpet cleaning by Smart Carpet Cleaning Brisbane will get down and dirty to eliminate bugs, dust and debris from the deepest spots.
How do you perform deep carpet steam cleaning?
Our team uses technologically-advanced equipment to inject hot water and detergent into your carpet’s fibres to loosen dirt which is then extracted by powerful suction.
Does steam cleaning damage carpets?
No. Hot water extraction, as it is also known, is a superb method for removing embedded soil and dirt. It does so without damaging a carpet´s fibres.
Does dry cleaning remove all dirt from the carpet?
Yes. Our high quality dry-cleaning methods coupled with superior solutions efficiently remove dust, dirt and grime.
Is steam cleaning better than dry cleaning carpets?
Both methods have their advantages: steam provides a deeper clean while dry-cleaning uses less water and dries faster.
Why would I choose dry-cleaning over wet-cleaning methods?
Dry-cleaning is known for being quicker than wet solutions with a faster drying time making this a convenient option when time constraints are present. It does however offer less deep-clean potential compared to a full wash solution like steam cleaning. If you are unsure which methid is best suited for your carpet, please ask for assistance during your booking.
Will steam cleaning shrink my carpet?
No it won’t. When executed correctly, professional steam cleaned floors will not any cause contraction to occur.
How often should my carpets be professionally cleaned?
Cleaning frequency depends on several factors, such as the number of occupants in your home and whether you have children and pets. However, we recommend you should have your carpets professionally cleaned at least once a year (every 12 months). This will prevent the accumulation of soil and grit that can damage a carpet´s fibres and reduce its lifespan.
