Weatherboards, bungalows and new townhouses

West Footscray has a lot of Edwardian and interwar weatherboard houses and Californian bungalows, plus postwar homes and a steady stream of townhouses built on subdivided blocks. Living areas in the older houses have often gone to polished boards, while bedrooms keep their carpet. In the townhouses, carpet usually covers the stairs and the upstairs bedrooms.

The carpets are just as varied: older wool, wool blends and newer nylon and polyester. Each has a method that suits it, which is why we test first rather than treating every room the same way.

Older homes bring a few practical points too. Many have no driveway, so let us know about parking or a rear lane when you book. Bedrooms may have floor heating vents or a gas heater nearby, and the carpet around them tends to collect fine dust that shows as a grey edge. Those spots get a little extra attention.

How dry carpet cleaning works

Dry cleaning carpet does not mean no moisture at all. It means a low-moisture process. A fine, damp cleaning compound is spread over the carpet and worked into the pile with a machine brush. The compound attracts and absorbs soil as it is agitated, then it is vacuumed out, taking the dirt with it. Spots and traffic lanes get pre-treatment beforehand.

Because so little water is used, dry-cleaned carpet can be walked on straight away. That makes it a good fit for:

The result is a fresh, even-looking carpet without the wait. For deep soiling it is not as thorough as steam, so the technician will tell you if a room needs the other method.

• Older wool or jute-backed carpet that could shrink or brown if over-wetted.
• Homes where the rooms are needed straight away, such as before an open inspection or with young children at home.
• Bedrooms in older houses with little air flow, where drying would otherwise be slow.
• Regular maintenance cleans between deeper steam cleans.

When steam is the right call

Hot water extraction rinses deeper. It is the better choice for heavily soiled carpet, pet accidents, sticky residue from old shampoo, and carpet in busy family homes. The carpet is dry in one to three hours, faster with windows open and fans running. Our carpet steam cleaning page explains the process, and the steam versus dry guide puts the two side by side.

Wet carpet drying after a leak

If water has soaked a room, act quickly: stop the water, lift furniture off the carpet, blot up what you can with towels and get air moving. Do not use a household vacuum on it. We extract the water with commercial equipment, clean and deodorise the carpet so it does not dry with a sour smell, and tell you honestly if the underlay needs replacing. Water from a clean supply pipe is a very different job from floodwater or a toilet overflow. Our guide to flooded carpet cleaning has the details.

Questions from West Footscray customers

Do you also cover Footscray?

Yes. Footscray, West Footscray and the rest of the inner west are part of our regular work. See carpet cleaning in Footscray for that page.

Can I have dry cleaning in some rooms and steam in others?

Yes. It often makes sense to steam clean the family room and hallway and dry clean an older wool bedroom carpet. The quote lists which method goes where.

Do you clean couches as well?

Yes. Fabric couches and armchairs can be cleaned on the same visit. Our upholstery cleaning page explains how.

Do you provide a receipt for end of lease?

Yes. Every end of lease carpet clean comes with a receipt for the agent. Book it after the furniture has gone and before the final inspection.
