Original houses and the townhouses replacing them

Nunawading’s streets are a mix of original post-war brick and weatherboard houses, units from the decades that followed, and two-storey townhouses built on subdivided blocks. That gives a wide range of carpet. Original houses sometimes still have wool carpet, sometimes over timber floors that the owners plan to polish one day. Units often have hard-wearing synthetic carpet laid between tenancies. Townhouses usually have synthetic carpet on the stairs and in the upstairs bedrooms, with hard floors below.

Each type has its own needs. Wool looks good for decades but needs wool-safe solutions and careful moisture control, or a low-moisture dry clean. Synthetic carpet suits a thorough hot water extraction. Stairs need a hand tool and patience, because the front edge of each tread holds the most grit.

The difference between dirty and worn

A common question is whether old carpet is worth cleaning or should be replaced. A useful test: look at the walkways in daylight. If they are darker than the rest of the room, that is usually soil, and it will come out with a proper clean. If they are lighter, thin or fuzzy, the fibre itself may be worn, and cleaning will improve it but not make it new. Rippled carpet that has lifted from the floor is a repair job for a carpet layer, not a cleaning issue.

Most of the time, people are pleasantly surprised. Soil and grit build up so slowly that the carpet’s real colour is forgotten until it comes back.

Renting out a unit or townhouse

Plenty of units and townhouses in the area are investment properties. For landlords, a professional clean between tenants keeps carpet in service longer, removes odours left by the previous occupants and makes the property easier to present at open inspections. For tenants, agents normally expect the carpet to be professionally cleaned at the end of the lease. Our end of lease carpet cleaning includes a receipt for the agent. Book it after the furniture has gone, so every corner can be reached.

Steam, dry, and how long to stay off it

For most carpets we use a steam clean, which flushes out soil from deep in the pile. Steam-cleaned carpet is usually dry in one to three hours. Where you need to use the room straight away, or the carpet is delicate, low-moisture dry cleaning means it can be walked on immediately.

Our guide to carpet drying time after cleaning explains what speeds it up, such as opening windows, running the heating or air conditioning, and keeping doors open between rooms.

Spills, pets and the leafy east

Like much of the eastern suburbs, Nunawading has plenty of established trees and gardens. Leaf litter, pollen and garden soil come in on shoes and paws, especially in autumn and winter. For households with allergies, a clean that removes the fine dust and pollen trapped in the pile can make a noticeable difference.

• Blot fresh spills with a white cloth and cold water, from the outside in.
• Avoid rubbing, which spreads the stain and frays the fibres.
• Do not use hot water on wine, coffee or blood; it can set the stain.
• For pet accidents, blot, rinse with cold water, blot again, then book odour treatment.
