Professional carpet cleaning in Dublin

A standard visit covers your fitted carpets room by room, plus carpeted stairs and landings if you have them. We move light furniture where it's safe to do so, treat any obvious marks before the main clean, then clean the full carpet with hot water extraction. Anything outside that — a single stain-only visit, or a larger commercial contract — we're happy to scope separately when you get in touch.

It depends on the household. As a general guide, once a year keeps most carpets in good shape, with busier homes — young kids, pets, higher footfall — often better served by every six months. Light commercial spaces like offices or shop floors usually need a more frequent schedule than a family living room.

Yes, we clean the fibres found in the vast majority of Dublin homes — wool, wool-blend, nylon, polypropylene and berber-style loop pile carpets. Each fibre reacts a little differently to heat and moisture, so we check what we're dealing with and adjust water temperature and dwell time accordingly, rather than running one setting for everything.

We move light furniture — chairs, small tables, that kind of thing — as part of the visit, where it's safe to do so. Heavier pieces like wardrobes, beds or sofas are best moved beforehand if you're able to, or let us know in advance and we'll factor it into the plan and the quote.

Stairs and landings are included as standard alongside fitted carpet in the rooms you're having cleaned — they're often the areas that show wear first, since they take the heaviest footfall. Let us know how many flights or landings you have when you request a quote, as it can affect the time the job takes.

Yes. Original carpets and stair runners in period terraces need a bit more care than a modern fitted carpet, and we adjust our approach accordingly — checking the fibre, testing an inconspicuous area first, and using appropriate heat and moisture levels throughout.

We can clean most old or heavily worn carpet, and it usually comes up noticeably better — but we'll be honest with you: cleaning lifts dirt and staining, it doesn't restore pile that's been flattened or worn thin over years of use. If a carpet's past the point where cleaning will make a meaningful difference, we'll say so before we start rather than take the job on regardless.

Yes. We use hot water extraction with cleaning products suited to the carpet fibre, and the carpet is left damp rather than soaked. We'll always let you know a realistic time to keep kids and pets off the carpet while it dries, and we're happy to talk through anything you're unsure about before we start.

Most carpets are dry within a few hours to most of a day, depending on the fibre, how soiled the carpet was, and airflow in the room. Good ventilation — open windows, air moving through the house — makes the biggest difference. We'll give you a realistic estimate for your specific rooms before we start.

Grit and dirt worked into the carpet pile act like sandpaper on the fibres every time it's walked on, so keeping that build-up down with regular cleaning is generally kinder to the carpet than leaving it to accumulate. We can't promise a specific extension in lifespan — that depends on the carpet, footfall and how it's looked after day to day — but it's a reasonable, honest reason to stay on top of cleaning rather than leaving it for years.

We don't run two separate service tiers — every visit is a full hot water extraction clean of the carpet, not a surface-only pass. If people mean a lighter, faster job on a small area or a carpet that isn't heavily soiled, that's really just a smaller version of the same clean rather than a different process. If cost is the concern, tell us the scope you have in mind when you request a quote and we'll price it accordingly.

Yes — we take on light commercial work such as small offices, consulting rooms and stairwells in apartment blocks, usually scheduled around opening hours to keep disruption low. For larger or scheduled commercial contracts, see our commercial carpet cleaning page.

Yes, that's a common reason people book us — before a move, after renovation work, or ahead of viewings when a property's going on the market. A clean carpet helps a room present well, though it's worth knowing that cleaning refreshes and lifts dirt from the fibre rather than replacing a carpet that's genuinely worn out or dated. We're happy to give an honest view of what a clean will and won't achieve before you book.

It shouldn't, if it's cleaned the right way. Berber and other loop-pile carpets are constructed differently to standard cut-pile carpet, so we use a technique and equipment pressure suited to that construction, avoiding anything that could snag or pull at the loops. We're careful with this fibre type specifically because a pulled loop can be more noticeable and harder to fix than ordinary wear.

Often, yes. Renovation and building work tends to leave fine dust worked into the carpet pile, even in rooms that weren't part of the work directly, and that dust can sit deeper than a vacuum alone will reach. A hot water extraction clean afterwards lifts it back out. Let us know it's a post-renovation clean when you book so we can plan for it.

It depends on how much carpet there is, its condition, and how many stairs and how much furniture are involved. A single room is a short visit; a full house with stairs and a landing takes considerably longer. We'll give you a rough time on site when we quote, so you can plan your day.

Yes. The extraction machine runs off a normal socket and is filled from a tap, so we'll need access to both. If the power is off, as in some empty rentals, mention it when booking.

Cleaning and grooming the pile often helps light dents lift. Deep dents in older carpet, where the fibres have been crushed for years, may never fully recover. That's wear rather than dirt, and we'll say so if it's the case.

A carpet soaked by a burst pipe or a flood isn't a cleaning job at first. It needs drying out and assessing quickly, often by a water-damage specialist or through your insurer, because the underlay and floor can be affected. Once it has been dried and assessed, we can talk about cleaning.

It's uncommon with a properly controlled clean, but the risk is higher with some natural fibres, older carpets and carpets that have been over-wetted before. That's why we check the fibre and test where the carpet or the treatment calls for it before cleaning the whole floor.

Yes. One room, the stairs only, or a single stain are all fine. Ask when you request a quote whether a minimum charge applies to a small job, so there are no surprises.

More or less. "Steam cleaning" is the everyday name for hot water extraction, although the water is hot rather than actual steam. Hot water and cleaning solution are rinsed through the pile and extracted straight back out. See hot water extraction explained.

Smells from soil, spills, cooking and pets usually go with a proper clean, with odour treatment where needed. A musty smell from damp or mould is different: the source needs fixing, or the smell comes back. See damp and mould smells in carpet.

A clean is usually enough to make carpet look and smell fresh for photos and viewings, at a fraction of the cost of new carpet. If a carpet is worn through or badly damaged, we'll say so. See does my carpet need replacing, or just cleaning?

Yes, and light carpet shows the biggest difference. Old yellowing from age, sunlight or residue left by an earlier shampoo doesn't always reverse completely, and we'll tell you after a test if that's likely.

It's mostly marketing. What matters is whether the carpet is pre-treated, properly rinsed and extracted, and groomed to dry. Every clean we do includes all of that, matched to the carpet's condition.

Yes. Tell us your changeover dates and we'll plan the clean so everything is dry before the next guests or tenants arrive.
