Established homes in the outer east

Bayswater North is an established part of Melbourne’s outer east, with plenty of brick family homes built in the post-war decades and later, larger gardens and lots of trees. Many houses have had the same carpet for a long time, and many have been renovated with new carpet in the bedrooms and hard floors in the living areas.

Leafy streets and big gardens bring their own grime. Leaf litter, pollen and garden soil get walked in through autumn and winter, and pets carry in whatever is in the yard. That organic matter breaks down in the pile, which is one reason older carpet can start to smell even when it looks clean.

Getting rid of a musty carpet smell

A musty or stale smell usually means moisture and organic residue are sitting together in the carpet or the underlay. Common causes we see in older homes:

Work through that list before booking if you can. A smell that is strongest in one corner, or that comes and goes with the weather, points to a specific source, and knowing it helps us treat the right spot.

• Rooms that stay closed up and cool through winter, so condensation never quite dries.
• Old spills that were blotted but never rinsed out, leaving sugars and milk proteins behind.
• Pet accidents that soaked through to the underlay.
• Damp coming in from a leaking window, a shower recess or a garden bed against an outside wall.

How a deep clean helps

Hot water extraction flushes out the residue that bacteria feed on, and deodorising treats what is left. Pet urine spots get a treatment that breaks down the cause of the smell rather than covering it. Our article on why carpet smells goes into more detail, including what you can check yourself.

If damp is coming from the building, cleaning alone will not stop the smell returning, so it is worth fixing the leak first. Steam-cleaned carpet is usually dry in one to three hours. Keep a window open and the heating on low in cooler months so air keeps moving. Where you need the room straight away, a low-moisture dry clean can be walked on immediately.

Old carpet: worth cleaning?

Usually, yes. Carpet that looks tired is often just dirty, and a proper clean brings back more colour than people expect. But if the pile has worn down to the backing, the carpet feels brittle, or a smell keeps coming back within weeks, the carpet or underlay may be at the end of its life. We will tell you that before we start, not after.

To keep carpet fresher between cleans, vacuum slowly once or twice a week, open the house up on dry days, and put a coarse mat outside each door so leaves and soil stay out. Blot spills with cold water straight away and rinse the area, rather than leaving sugary residue behind.

Fabric couches can go on the same visit. See our upholstery cleaning page for how lounges are cleaned in place.

Questions from Bayswater North customers

Do you also clean in Bayswater?

Yes. We work across Bayswater, the wider eastern suburbs and the rest of metropolitan Melbourne, with no travel charge.

Will a musty smell come back after cleaning?

If the cause was residue in the carpet, it usually does not. If the smell is coming from damp in the floor or walls, it can return until that is fixed. We will tell you if we suspect a moisture problem.

Can you clean carpet with pets in the house?

Yes. Keep pets in another room while we work and off the carpet until it is dry. Our guide on whether carpet cleaners are pet safe answers the usual questions.

Do you move furniture?

We move light items like chairs and side tables and clean around heavy pieces such as beds and wardrobes.
