Service by Certified Carpet Cleaners
All our technicians undergo rigorous training to handle different carpet fibres, stains, and cleaning challenges. From removing tough pet odours to lifting long-set dirt, each professional on our team has the experience and knowledge to restore even the most neglected carpets.
Using the Latest Professional Equipment
Our carpet cleaners work with advanced hot water extraction (steam cleaning) machines, as well as low-moisture solutions for delicate fabrics. This cutting-edge equipment ensures deep penetration of fibres, eliminating grime, bacteria, and allergens without harsh chemicals.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning Methods
Classic Steam Cleaning is committed to environmentally responsible practices. We utilise eco-friendly and biodegradable detergents that safeguard your family’s health, your pets, and the planet. Our Melbourne-based operations aim to minimise water usage and chemical impact—because a cleaner home shouldn’t come at the cost of the environment.
Improving Indoor Air Quality
Carpeted areas, especially those with heavy foot traffic, accumulate dust, germs, and allergens over time. Routine vacuuming helps but cannot eliminate deeply entrenched pollutants. Our comprehensive steam cleaning significantly enhances the air you breathe, reducing pollutants and promoting a healthier indoor environment for your family.
What to Expect from Our Carpet Cleaning in Melbourne
A Fully Equipped Carpet Cleaner Will Arrive at Your Address
When you schedule a service, our team confirms the date and time. On the day, a certified carpet cleaner—fully equipped with professional gear—comes straight to your doorstep. Please ensure you, or someone you trust, is present to grant access to the carpeted areas.
The Carpet Cleaner Will Examine and Pretreat Your Carpets
On arrival, the technician carefully inspects your carpet, noting its material, any visible stains, high-traffic areas, and potential problem spots. They then pretreat stains with eco-friendly targeting detergents tailored to tackle specific issues like pet accidents, food spills, or deep-rooted odours.
Time to Whip Out Some Professional Equipment
Next, your carpets undergo a thorough hot water extraction procedure—commonly known as steam cleaning. This industry-favoured method is widely acclaimed for its ability to extract grime, allergens, and debris hidden within the carpet fibres. If the carpet is made from delicate natural materials (e.g., wool, silk blends), we may opt for low-moisture or dry cleaning to prevent shrinkage or distortion.
Our Hot Water Extraction Method at Work
After pretreatment, the technician attaches the cleaning wand to our hot water extraction machine, then:
- Targets the Carpet Pile: The cleaning wand ejects a powerful jet of heated water mixed with pet-safe detergent, penetrating deep into the fibres.
- Dislodges Trapped Dirt: High pressure combined with the detergent effectively loosens dust mites, grime, and other particles.
- Continuous Suction: A powerful vacuum attachment works simultaneously, retrieving the dirty solution along with dust, allergens, and bacteria. Approximately 95% of the moisture is immediately sucked away, leaving your carpet just slightly damp.
This method not only offers one of the most thorough cleanings available but also shortens the drying time compared to outdated steam-only methods. It reduces the risk of mould or mildew by preventing moisture from lingering too long.
Carpet Fabrics Suitable for Steam Cleaning
- 100% Wool: Luxurious, absorbent, yet fragile if incorrectly handled. We use water temperatures and pressures safe for wool.
- Nylon: The most common synthetic fibre, known for durability and traffic-resistance.
- Polyester: Long-lasting, though prone to oily stains. Our method targets deep-seated grease effectively.
- Acrylic: Resistant to sunlight and staining, but slightly less durable than nylon.
- Polypropylene: Popular for being easy to clean and resistant to shrinking.
Suitable for: Most synthetic or mixed fibres (like wool blends, polyester, etc.).
Approximate Drying Time: 2 to 8 hours, depending on ventilation, carpet thickness, and environmental conditions.

Stain Protection with Scotchgard™ Fabric Protector
After your carpet is deep-cleaned, you can opt for an additional Scotchgard™ treatment. This invisible barrier repels future spills, giving you extra time to blot away accidents before they seep in.
Benefits of Carpet Protection:
- Slows Absorption: Delays liquid spills from becoming permanent stains.
- Enhances Fibre Resistance: Carpet fibres stand up better to everyday wear.
- Easier Future Stain Removal: Spills that do occur don’t set as quickly.
- Simplifies Vacuuming: Dust and debris can be more easily lifted, prolonging the just-cleaned look.
If you’re looking to safeguard your carpet long-term, consider adding this protective step.

What our clients say:
Hot Water Extraction vs. Traditional Steam Cleaning
We use Hot Water Extraction because it’s the gold standard for deep cleaning textiles. In contrast, many companies still rely on older, high-pressure steam-only approaches that can cook stains into fibres or require multiple passes, risking overwetting. Here’s why Hot Water Extraction reigns supreme:
- Deeper Extraction: Water-based detergent penetrates fibres, breaking down dirt and removing it more effectively than surface-level steam.
- Lower Temperature: While hot, it’s not high-pressure steam that can discolour or scorch delicate fibres.
- Faster Drying: The powerful suction retrieves up to 95% of the moisture, preventing dampness from lingering.
- Versatile Temperatures: We can adjust water temperature based on your carpet’s composition to prevent shrinkage.
We’re confident we can tackle most household stains—food, drinks, pet “accidents,” and everyday grime. Only certain chemical or heat-set stains remain permanently. Still, rest assured: if it’s salvageable, we’ll exhaust every method to make it pristine.

FAQs
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Australia?
There’s no one-size-fits-all figure. Prices vary by carpet size, cleaning method (steam vs. dry), add-ons like stain removal or Scotchgard™, and location. Request a free quote from Classic Steam Cleaning for an accurate estimate.
Is it worth getting carpets cleaned?
Absolutely. Professional cleaning extends carpet lifespan, removes allergens, and enhances indoor air quality. It’s a cost-effective investment, especially compared to early carpet replacement.
What is better, dry cleaning or steam cleaning carpets?
Both methods have merits. Steam (hot water extraction) is generally deeper and more thorough, making it ideal for heavily soiled areas. Dry cleaning is fast-drying and good for delicate fibres. Classic Steam Cleaning will recommend the best approach for your carpet type.
Is it worth cleaning 20 year old carpet?
It depends on the carpet’s structural integrity. If the carpet is still in decent shape—albeit stained—professional cleaning can revive it. However, if the backing is disintegrating or the fibres are severely worn, replacement may be a better long-term option.
Do carpets get dirtier after cleaning?
Not if done properly. If residual detergent is left behind, carpets can attract dirt. Our thorough rinsing and extraction ensure no sticky residue remains, so your carpets stay fresher for longer.
Can I sleep in a room after carpet cleaning?
You can, provided the carpet has dried adequately. Good ventilation or fans can speed drying. If the carpet is still damp, wait until moisture is minimal to avoid discomfort or re-soiling.
Is carpet dirtier than a toilet seat?
Many surfaces can harbour bacteria, and carpets are no exception. Without regular deep cleaning, they accumulate hidden germs and allergens. Professional cleaning, however, keeps carpets far more hygienic than pop-culture myths suggest.
Why can’t you walk on carpet after cleaning?
You can, but it’s best to minimise foot traffic while carpets are drying to prevent impressions, re-soiling, or slip hazards. Let the fibres settle before subjecting them to regular movement for the best finish.
Do you move furniture before cleaning?
Our technicians can shift lightweight items like chairs or small tables. We may advise that you move heavier furniture in advance for safety and to allow complete carpet coverage.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Most households benefit from a once or twice-yearly service. High-traffic or commercial spaces often require more frequent visits—every 3–6 months—to maintain appearance and hygiene.
Will steam cleaning damage my underlay?
Properly conducted hot water extraction does not harm underlay, provided the technician uses correct suction power and water temperature. Over-saturation can cause issues, but our modern equipment ensures controlled moisture levels.
Which is the best day to schedule?
We operate 7 days a week, including holidays. Pick a day that suits your timetable, so you can enjoy freshly cleaned carpets in comfort.
