Stairs carry every trip through a two-storey home, and it shows. The front edge of each step, called the nosing, wears grey first, and dust and pet hair gather in the corner where the tread meets the riser. Carpeted stairs are also hard to vacuum well, so dirt tends to build up faster than on open floors. In East Brisbane, carpeted stairs turn up in townhouses, split-level units, renovated Queenslanders and some older walk-up blocks with carpeted common stairs.
A full-size floor wand does not fit a stair tread, so the crew we book uses a compact stair tool and hand tools to clean each step. They vacuum the corners with a crevice tool, pre-spray the nosings, then rinse and extract step by step. Landings and the hallway at each end are cleaned with the main machine.
- Crevice vacuuming along every tread

Stairs are priced separately from rooms because the work is slower and done by hand. Most flights take between thirty minutes and an hour. Stairs with a lot of pet traffic often benefit from a deodorising pass as well. Keep kids and pets off them until they are dry, and walk up in clean socks if you must use them sooner, holding the handrail as damp carpet can be slippery.
Tell us how many steps, whether there are landings, and whether any other rooms need doing. We will give you upfront pricing and book a crew who works in East Brisbane and nearby. Call 07 3543 9421 to book stair cleaning.
