Most homes are finished in a morning or an afternoon. We bring our equipment and need only water and a power point.

Old port, old houses

Williamstown is one of Melbourne’s oldest suburbs, a former port town with streets of Victorian and Edwardian weatherboard cottages, some bluestone, and plenty of renovated period homes. Alongside them are newer townhouses and apartments near the waterfront. Many period homes have wool carpet, sometimes wall-to-wall over original boards, and some have quality carpet that was chosen to suit the house.

Wool is a beautiful fibre to clean but needs care. It does not like very high heat or harsh alkaline cleaners, and it can brown or shrink if over-wetted. We use a wool-safe solution, controlled temperature and a thorough rinse, and in houses where the carpet is lightly fixed over old boards we keep the moisture down.

Many of these homes also have rooms that see very different use. A front sitting room may get little foot traffic, while the hallway and the back living area take the full load, so the carpet can look two different ages in the one house. We pre-treat the busy areas more heavily so the finished result is even.

• No driveway? Let us know where the van can stop nearby.
• Narrow hallways and steep stairs are cleaned by hand where needed.
• Tell us about antique rugs on top of the carpet so we can plan for them.

Salt air, sand and a seaside suburb

Living so close to the water means carpet takes in beach sand, salt and the fine grit that comes in on shoes from the foreshore. Salt residue attracts moisture and soil, so entry areas and hallways can look grubby long before the bedrooms. A regular vacuum helps, but the grit at the base of the pile needs an extraction clean to remove it.

With good airflow, steam cleaned carpet is normally dry in one to three hours. Older houses can be cool and slow to air out in winter, so open windows or run the heating on low. If you need the room back straight away, choose dry cleaning, which lets you walk on the carpet as soon as we finish.

Rugs, couches and holiday lets

Period homes often have good rugs and upholstered furniture to match. We clean rugs, fabric couches and armchairs on the same visit, testing dyes and fabrics first. If you run a short-stay rental, tell us the changeover times and we will fit the clean around them. Low-moisture cleaning suits tight gaps between guests.

If you are selling a period home, clean carpet makes a real difference in photos and at open inspections, especially in rooms with plenty of natural light. For rentals, we give you a receipt for the agent once the job is done; our end of lease carpet cleaning page explains what to expect.

Questions from Williamstown customers

Is Williamstown part of your regular service area?

Yes. Williamstown is part of our inner west work, and there is no travel charge anywhere in metropolitan Melbourne.

Will steam cleaning damage my wool carpet?

Not when it is done properly. We test the carpet, use a wool-safe solution and control the heat and moisture. If the carpet or underlay looks fragile, we recommend dry cleaning instead and explain why.

Can you deal with mould smell in an older house?

Cleaning removes surface soiling and odours, and deodorising is included. If there is ongoing damp under the floor, the smell can return until the moisture source is fixed. Our guide on why carpet smells explains the usual causes.

What should I do about a fresh red wine spill?

Blot it straight away with a white cloth and cold water, working from the outside in. Do not rub, and avoid salt or household sprays, which can set the stain. Then call us and tell us what it was.
