Steam cleaning, or hot water extraction, is the heaviest-duty carpet clean the crew we book offers in East Brisbane. A machine pushes heated water and a cleaning solution into the carpet, then pulls it back out with strong suction. Most of what comes out is fine grit, skin oils, cooking residue and old spills that settle below where a vacuum can reach.
It suits carpet that gets daily use, carpet that has not been cleaned in a year or more, and homes with pets or small children. It is also the method most people mean when they ask for a deep clean before guests arrive or after a long winter indoors. Truck-mounted machines give the most suction but need the van parked close by. For walk-up units and apartments with no nearby parking, the crew brings a portable machine instead.
- Heated rinse and strong extraction

- Truck-mounted or portable machine to suit access
- Pile groomed for an even finish
- Drying advice before the crew leaves
Plan for the carpet to be damp for four to six hours, longer on a humid day or with thick wool. Keep windows open if the weather is dry, run fans or the air conditioning, and wait until the carpet is dry before moving furniture back. Walk on it in clean socks if you need to cross the room. Put foil or plastic under furniture legs if something has to go back sooner.
