What does carpet cleaning involve?
Carpet cleaning is the ultimate refresh for your floors - it’s about lifting the dirt, dust and allergens you can’t see. Whether it’s a deep-down refresh or a quick spruce-up, carpet cleaners use specialist equipment to breathe new life into tired floors.
They’ll start by assessing your carpet type and condition, then choose the right method. Common options include:
Hot water extraction (often called steam cleaning): Powerful and popular for a deep clean.
Dry carpet cleaning: Uses minimal moisture - handy for delicate carpets or when you need quicker drying time.
Bonnet cleaning: Great for light maintenance in high-traffic areas.
Stains, pet smells, and years of everyday build-up? They’ve seen it all. A proper clean doesn’t just improve how your carpet looks, but can help extend its lifespan too.
What kind of carpet cleaning can a local carpet cleaner help with?
From hallway runners to entire office floors, carpet cleaners tackle all sorts of spaces. Depending on the service you choose, they can help with:
Residential carpet cleaning: Bedrooms, lounges, staircases — any carpeted space in your home.
Rug cleaning: Delicate fibres? No problem. Many also clean area rugs and runners.
Commercial carpet cleaning: Offices, shops, communal areas — with flexible hours to suit your business.
End of tenancy cleans: Help get your deposit back with a professional deep clean.
Specialist stain removal: Coffee spills, wine, pet mess? Leave it to the pros.
Many offer upholstery cleaning too, so your sofa and chairs can get the same top treatment.
How long does carpet cleaning take?
It depends on the size of the area, the method used, and how dirty the carpets are. As a rough guide:
A single room might take 30–45 minutes.
A whole house could take 2–3 hours.
Drying time varies from 2–6 hours with steam cleaning, or next to none with dry methods.
Good news: You most likely won’t need to move heavy furniture. Most cleaners will do it for you - or work around it safely.
How often should you clean your carpets?
For most homes, once or twice a year is plenty. But if you’ve got pets, kids, or high foot traffic (hello, muddy boots), more regular cleaning might be worth it.
Here’s a simple guide:
Every 6–12 months: Most households.
Every 3–6 months: Homes with pets or allergies.
Before moving out or after renovations: Helps reset and refresh your space.
Keeping carpets clean isn’t just about hygiene - it makes your home feel more welcoming, reduces allergens, and helps carpets last longer.
