Carpet Cleaning

How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?

We recommend professional carpet cleaning every 6–12 months. For homes with pets, children, or high foot traffic, we recommend every 6–9 months. Regular professional cleaning removes deep-seated dirt, allergens, and bacteria that vacuuming alone cannot reach.

Can you remove tough stains like wine, coffee, or pet urine?

Yes β€” in most cases, professional carpet cleaning can remove or strongly improve stains from wine, coffee, pet urine, and other common spills. The final result depends on how old, deep, or repeated the stain is, but we use specialised products and techniques to achieve the best possible outcome.

Can carpet cleaning remove pet odours?

Yes β€” pet odours are one of the main reasons customers book professional cleaning. We use specialised urine and odour neutralisers that are highly effective at eliminating lingering smells. Professional treatment targets the contamination, residue, and smell-causing build-up trapped in the carpet.

Do I need to vacuum before you arrive?

It's helpful but not required. If there is a noticeable amount of dust, fluff, or debris, vacuuming a day in advance can be beneficial. We handle the professional cleaning, so don't worry if you haven't vacuumed.

Can I walk on my carpets immediately after cleaning?

Yes, you may walk on your carpet immediately after cleaning, but avoid wearing street shoes, as they may re-soil the carpet. We recommend waiting until the carpet is fully dry before moving furniture back.

Upholstery & Couch Cleaning

Can you clean all types of upholstery fabrics?

Yes. We clean fabric, leather, microfibre, velvet, and most other upholstery materials. We check the material first and use the appropriate cleaning method to ensure safe and effective results.

How often should I have my upholstery professionally cleaned?

We recommend bi-weekly vacuuming and professional deep cleaning every 12–18 months, depending on use. Homes with pets, children, or heavy use may benefit from more frequent cleaning.

Do you move furniture to clean upholstery?

We can move normal household furniture where reasonably possible to access the upholstery. However, fragile, valuable, or heavy items should be cleared beforehand.

Can you clean leather couches and chairs?

Yes β€” we specialise in leather cleaning and conditioning. We use products specifically designed for leather to clean, nourish, and protect your leather furniture.

Mattress Cleaning

Why should I have my mattress professionally cleaned?

Mattresses can harbour dust mites, dead skin cells, allergens, and bacteria. Professional cleaning sanitises and refreshes your mattress, promoting a healthier sleep environment and extending the life of your mattress.

How often should I have my mattress cleaned?

We recommend professional mattress cleaning every 6–12 months, or more frequently if you have allergies, pets, or asthma.

Rug Cleaning

Do you clean rugs as well as carpets?

Yes. We clean all types of rugs including Persian, wool, shaggy, jute, and synthetic rugs. We use gentle, colour-safe methods to remove deep-set dirt, stains, and odours while protecting the fibres.

How do you clean delicate or expensive rugs?

For delicate or high-value rugs, we assess the material first and use the gentlest appropriate method. If a rug requires specialist handling beyond our scope, we'll advise you honestly and recommend a specialist.

Mould Cleaning

Can you remove mould from carpets and upholstery?

Yes. Cape Town's damp climate can cause mould growth on carpets, upholstery, and tiles. We safely remove mould, treat the affected area with an anti-fungal solution, and help prevent regrowth. This is especially important for allergy and asthma sufferers.

Is mould cleaning safe for my family and pets?

Yes. We use safe, eco-friendly products for mould treatment. We'll advise you on any precautions, such as allowing the area to dry fully before use.

Moving In & Moving Out Cleaning

Do you offer moving in and moving out cleaning?

Yes. We offer comprehensive move-in and move-out cleaning for tenants, landlords, and new homeowners. This includes carpet cleaning, upholstery, tile and grout, and general wipe-down of surfaces. It's the perfect way to ensure a property is spotless for handover.

Can you provide a receipt for the landlord or agent?

Yes. We can provide a detailed invoice or receipt for your records, which is often required for deposit returns or property handovers.

Post-Construction Cleaning

Do you do post-construction cleaning?

Yes. After building or renovation work, fine dust settles deep into carpets and upholstery. We remove construction residue, dust, and stains, leaving your space ready to enjoy. We can also assist with tile and grout restoration after building work.

Can you remove paint or plaster from carpets?

In many cases, yes β€” but it depends on the type of paint, how long it has been there, and the carpet fibre. We'll assess it during the quote and give you an honest opinion on what can be achieved.

Tile & Grout Cleaning

Can you clean tiles and grout?

Yes. We deep-clean tiles and grout, removing built-up dirt, mould, and stains. Your tiles will look like new again.

How long does tile and grout cleaning take?

The time depends on the size of the area and the condition of the grout. We provide a time estimate when we give you a free quote.

Vehicle Interior Cleaning

Do you clean vehicle interiors?

Yes. We deep clean and sanitise vehicle interiors, including seats, carpets, and upholstery. Perfect for cars, SUVs, and bakkies.
