Formal rooms, family rooms and a lot of floor

Many Templestowe homes date from the 1970s and 1980s, built big with separate formal lounge and dining rooms, a family room, several bedrooms and often a staircase. Plenty of them have been renovated or rebuilt since. That means a lot of carpet, and it is rarely all in the same condition. The formal lounge might look almost new, while the family room, hallway and stairs are flattened and grey.

It is worth thinking about where the clean will make the biggest difference. Heavy-traffic rooms usually need a thorough steam clean. Lightly used rooms may only need a refresh, or can wait until next time. We quote on the rooms you choose, so you can decide.

Choosing which rooms to do

Before you book, walk through the house and look at the carpet in good light. Areas near doors, the path from the kitchen to the family room, the bottom and top of the stairs and the space in front of the couch usually tell you where the real soiling is. Bedrooms often look fine but hold dust and allergens around and under the beds. Let us know what you see and we will suggest where the clean will count most.

If you are preparing to sell, the advice changes: clean everything that will appear in photos, a few days before the photographer comes and after any painting is finished.

Wool carpet and a careful approach

Larger homes in the eastern suburbs often have wool or wool-blend carpet, especially in formal rooms and bedrooms. Wool is hard-wearing and stays looking good for decades, but it reacts badly to over-wetting, too much heat or strong alkaline cleaners. Those can leave it fuzzy, cause shrinkage or change the colour.

So the technician checks what is on the floor before starting, uses a wool-safe solution, and controls moisture closely during a steam clean. Where a carpet is delicate, low-moisture dry cleaning is used, and the room can be walked on straight away. Steam-cleaned carpet is normally dry in one to three hours, though a big house in cold weather may take toward the longer end.

Gum leaves, garden soil and hilly blocks

Templestowe is green and hilly, with big gardens, established trees and bushland close by. That brings leaf litter, bark, pollen and fine soil into the house on shoes and paws, especially through back doors that open onto the garden. In autumn and winter, wet leaves and mud get tracked across family rooms. Pollen and fine dust settle into the pile, which matters for anyone in the house with hay fever.

A good mat at every garden door and a shoes-off rule help more than anything. Our article on whether cleaning removes allergens explains what a professional clean can and cannot do for sensitive households.

Rugs on timber and tile

Renovated homes often swap carpet for timber or tile downstairs and add rugs on top. Synthetic and many wool rugs can be cleaned in your home, while hand-knotted Persian and oriental rugs are better collected for a full wash and returned. See rug cleaning for how that works.

Questions from Templestowe customers

Do you cover Templestowe Lower as well?

Yes. We clean across Templestowe, Templestowe Lower and the rest of the eastern suburbs with no travel charge in metropolitan Melbourne. Our eastern suburbs page has more.

Can you clean the stairs?

Yes. Stairs are cleaned by hand with a dedicated tool, paying attention to the front edge of each tread, where wear and grit build up most. Let us know how many flights there are when you ask for a quote.

Can you clean couches on the same visit?

Yes. Fabric lounges are tested and then steam cleaned or dry cleaned, and leather is cleaned and conditioned. Doing carpets and upholstery together means one visit and one fixed quote.
