A Fresher, Cleaner Home
Benefits of Steam Cleaning
Lift Embedded Dirt
- Everyday use can leave dirt and dust trapped in carpet and upholstery fibres. Steam cleaning helps loosen and lift this build-up for a more thorough clean.
Refresh Stains and High-Traffic Areas
- Our cleaning process helps improve the appearance of everyday marks, spills and frequently used areas, giving tired carpets and fabrics a refresh.
Help Reduce Unpleasant Odours
- Cleaning helps remove the dirt and residue that can contribute to household and pet odours, leaving treated areas smelling fresher.

What steam will not fix
Steam lifts dirt; it does not restore a fabric that is worn, faded or permanently stained. Some stains and odours need additional treatment and cannot be fully removed. If we think an item is past cleaning we will tell you rather than charge you to find out.
Where we work
We service Melbourne's eastern and south-eastern suburbs from our base in Croydon.
Common questions
Is steam cleaning suitable for every item?
No, and that matters. Heat and moisture can damage some delicate fabrics, backings and dyes. We check the care label and the condition of the item before we start.
How long does it take to dry?
It depends on the material and its condition. Carpets, upholstery and mattresses generally need a few hours before use, and we will give you a likely time on the day.
Do you use cleaning products as well?
Only where the item needs one. Where a product is used we choose environmentally friendly options suited to the fabric.
