Carpet Cleaning
Carpets in Christchurch homes take a beating. Fine loess dust off the plains, grit tracked in from gravel drives, and damp winters that keep moisture in the pile for months. Vacuuming lifts the loose soil sitting on top; it does nothing about the abrasive grit that has worked its way down to the backing and is quietly cutting the fibres every time someone walks across the room.
What is included
- Pre-inspection and fibre identification
- Pre-vacuum to remove dry soil
- Targeted pre-spray on traffic lanes and spots
- Truck-mounted hot water extraction
- Neutral-pH rinse so nothing sticky is left behind
- Grooming and fast-dry air movers
Why this matters in Christchurch
Our truck-mounted unit stays in the van, which means far more heat and suction than any portable machine can deliver. More suction is the whole game: it is what pulls the soil out rather than pushing it deeper, and it is why carpets are touch-dry in hours instead of days.
How we do it
- We inspect the carpet and identify the fibre before choosing a method. Wool and synthetic need different chemistry.
- Dry soil comes out first with a thorough vacuum. Skipping this step turns dirt into mud.
- Traffic lanes and spots get a dwell-time pre-spray to break the bond between soil and fibre.
- Hot water extraction flushes it out, followed by a neutral rinse.
- We groom the pile and set up air movers so drying takes 4 to 6 hours, not overnight.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Every 12 months for an average household, every 6 months with pets, young children or heavy traffic. Most carpet warranties also require professional cleaning at set intervals.
What is truck-mounted hot water extraction?
The cleaning unit stays in the van and delivers far more heat and suction than a portable machine. More suction means more soil removed and shorter drying times.
Will cleaning make my carpet get dirty faster?
Not with proper rinsing. That reputation comes from cheap detergents left behind in the pile, which attract soil. We rinse to a neutral pH so nothing sticky remains.
