Ultimate Guide for Emergency Carpet Cleaning

Melbourne Lockdown Carpet Survival Tips

Stage 4 restrictions in Melbourne have meant almost all industries have stopped for the next 6 weeks – including carpet cleaners in Melbourne. Currently we are only allowed to attend sites for end of lease cleaning, commercial cleaning and emergency carpet cleaning. This may mean your general maintenance cleaning will have to wait. However we are available for emergencies such as water damage and some situations where cleaning is essential for health and safety. If you have any concerns about your carpet, stains or health and safety issues please contact us immediately.

Water damage

Whether it be storm damage, a roof leak, washing machine or bath tub overflow, water damage is an emergency and needs immediate attention. If you leave water on your carpet, it will result in permanent staining and even worse – mould growth. Mould can start growing in as little as 24 hours and is a serious health hazard.

Please contact us as soon as possible when you have any amount of water damage. We will arrange a time to come and inspect your property and quote on the damage. There are a few things you can do to minimise the damage before we arrive for emergency carpet cleaning;

For more information on emergency carpet cleaning caused by water damage, please see our water damage restoration page or our other articles:

Red Wine Stains

Bottle shops remain open during stage 4 lockdown – I think it might cause an even greater state of emergency if they were closed! If you happen to spill a glass (or bottle!) of red wine on your carpet – please do not panic. We can remove red wine stains as long as you do not add chemicals to the stain in an attempt to remove it yourself. We will be able to remove the stain in 6 weeks time as long as you leave it for us!
