Where we clean

Carpet cleaning for the rooms that wear fastest.

Grit wears carpet from below and spills set if they're left. Each room gets the method that suits its traffic and its carpet.

How we clean

The method depends on the carpet and the room.

Commercial carpet steam cleaning pulls the most dirt out of the pile. Low-moisture cleaning uses far less water, so the room is back in use sooner.

1. Hot water extraction

Hot water and cleaning solution go deep into the pile, then the machine pulls the water and dirt back out. Most people call it steam cleaning.

2. Low-moisture cleaning

A cleaning compound wraps the dirt in the fibres and dries to a powder we vacuum away. It suits rooms that can't sit damp for long.

3. Spot and stain treatment

Coffee, ink and food stains get their own treatment first, so they don't spread or set during the main clean.

Carpet cleaning questions

Questions about commercial carpet cleaning.

Straight answers on cost, timing, methods and the products we use.

Request a Site Visit
How long does carpet cleaning take?

Carpet cleaning on most office floors takes one overnight or weekend shift. Emera does a large site in sections over several nights, so only part of it is out of use at a time.

Drying time depends on the method. Low-moisture cleaning dries fastest and suits rooms people need first thing. Hot water extraction stays damp for longer, so we book it before a weekend or a quiet day and run fans to speed up drying.

What's the difference between carpet steam cleaning and dry cleaning?

Steam cleaning, also called hot water extraction, sprays hot water and cleaning solution into the pile and pulls it straight back out with the dirt. It cleans deepest and takes longest to dry.

Dry cleaning uses very little water. A compound wraps the dirt in the fibres and dries to a powder we vacuum away, so the room is back in use sooner. Many offices use both, and Emera suggests which suits each area at the site visit.

What should we do if our carpet is water damaged?

Call Emera CCR, our sister company in the Emera group, which handles water damage, flooding and mould. A regular carpet clean won't dry out soaked carpet or the underlay beneath it.

CCR's technicians dry and clean what can be saved, and document each step for your insurer. Call CCR on 1300 144 667, or visit emeraccr.com.au.

How do you price a one-off or periodic job?

Emera prices each one-off or periodic job on what needs doing, how big it is, the access and when we can work. Small jobs, like a few tags or a short list of items, can often be priced from photos.

Bigger jobs, and regular work such as turnovers or scheduled cleans, need a site visit first. Either way you get a written scope and price, and nothing is booked until you agree.

Can you add carpet, window, floor or exterior cleans to our regular cleaning?

Yes. Emera can add carpet, window, floor and exterior cleans to your regular cleaning, as one-off or regular jobs. Tell your supervisor or call us.

Each one is a separate line in your written scope and price, so you see what it costs. It's logged in our app with before and after photos, the same as your regular clean.
