Homes built on the slopes

Wheelers Hill was developed mainly from the 1970s onwards, and its hilly streets are lined with family homes of that era: brick houses, many of them double-storey or split-level, with formal and informal living areas and carpeted stairs between the levels. Plenty have been renovated, and some have been replaced with larger new homes. Inside, it is common to find a quality wool or wool-blend carpet in a formal lounge, with synthetic carpet in the bedrooms and family areas.

Split-level homes mean short flights of stairs between rooms, and those few steps get a lot of traffic. We clean stairs by hand, tread by tread, with attention to the front edge of each step. Wool carpet in formal rooms is cleaned with a wool-safe solution and careful control of moisture, because over-wetting and harsh alkaline cleaners can shift its colour or leave it fuzzy.

Steam, dry, and what each one suits

Steam cleaning rinses grit and residue out of the pile and is the deeper clean, suited to well-used family rooms and synthetic carpet. It dries in one to three hours. Dry cleaning uses very little moisture, can be walked on straight away, and suits lightly soiled wool, formal rooms and homes where people need to keep moving through. Many houses get a mix of both.

Offices, consulting rooms and small businesses

We also clean carpet in commercial premises: offices, consulting rooms, studios and shops. Commercial carpet tiles and loop-pile carpet hide dirt well but wear quickly in walkways if grit is left in them. Low-moisture cleaning lets staff and clients walk on the carpet straight away, and visits can be arranged within our hours of Monday to Saturday, 7am to 7pm. See our commercial carpet cleaning service for more.

Rugs, couches and the formal lounge

Many Wheelers Hill homes have rugs on timber or tiled areas, sometimes good wool or hand-knotted pieces. We check the fibre, the fringe and the dyes before cleaning, and our rug cleaning page explains the options. Fabric couches can be added to the same visit; our Wheelers Hill upholstery cleaning page covers them.

Rugs on timber floors also protect the boards, but they trap grit underneath. Lift and vacuum the floor under them every so often, and turn rugs around once or twice a year so they wear and fade evenly.

Looking after carpet in a busy household

Vacuum often and slowly, especially the stairs and the paths between rooms. Keep doormats at each entry. Blot spills with cold water and a white cloth rather than rubbing. Leaves and pollen from established gardens come in on shoes in autumn and spring, so a shoes-off habit helps more than you might expect. A professional clean once a year suits most homes.

If you notice a musty smell in a lower-level room, especially one that is partly below ground on a sloping block, check for damp before booking a clean. Our article on why carpet smells explains the usual causes and what to look for.

Questions from Wheelers Hill customers

Can steam cleaning shrink a wool carpet?

Not when it is done properly. We test first, use a wool-safe solution, control heat and water, and extract thoroughly. If a carpet is fragile or its dyes are unstable, we recommend low-moisture dry cleaning instead.

Do you service the rest of the eastern suburbs?

Yes. We work throughout Monash and the wider eastern suburbs, with no travel charge in metropolitan Melbourne.

We are selling. When should we have the carpet cleaned?

After painting and any repairs, and a few days before the photographs. Clean carpet looks brighter in photos and at open inspections.
