What to expect from our rug cleaning in Melbourne
A fully equipped rug cleaner will come to your address
At your chosen date and time, we’ll dispatch a certified Elite Carpet Cleaning technician. They’ll arrive with everything needed to treat and refresh your rugs. Just grant them access to the rooms where your rugs are located.
The rug cleaner will examine and pretreat your rugs
Your technician will start by identifying the rug’s fibre type—wool, silk, synthetic, Oriental, Persian, or other natural materials. They’ll note any visible stains or odours, and apply specialised, eco-friendly pretreatment solutions to loosen stubborn dirt and prepare the rug for deep cleaning.
Time to whip out some professional equipment
For most rugs, hot water extraction (HWE) is the gold-standard deep cleaning method. More advanced and effective than outdated steam cleaning, HWE gently injects and extracts cleaning solution to remove soil, allergens, and debris. For delicate, all-natural fibre rugs, we employ a low-moisture or dry cleaning method. The goal is always to restore the rug’s original beauty and texture.

Stain protection with Scotchgard™ fabric protector
Protect your rug’s newfound freshness! After our deep cleaning process, we can apply a Scotchgard™ fabric protector at a small additional cost. This invisible barrier helps repel liquids and prevent everyday spills from sinking into the fibres, making accidental stains easier to clean up in the future.
Here’s what you get with rug protection:
Benefit | Achieved? |
Scotchgard™ Approved 100% | ✅ |
Protection against oil-based stains | ✅ |
Improved resistance to soiling | ✅ |
Delayed absorption of spills | ✅ |
Easier future stain removal | ✅ |
Dirt vacuuming becomes more effective | ✅ |
Some rugs, especially those made from delicate natural fibres like silk, viscose, jute, sisal, or seagrass, may not withstand hot water extraction. In these cases, we employ low-moisture and dry cleaning methods designed to revitalise the rug without risking shrinkage or warping.
- Low-moisture solvent cleaning: Ideal for sensitive fabrics like velvet or silk. A gentle, eco-approved solvent is applied, allowed to settle briefly, then carefully wiped away with soft terry cloths. This process freshens the rug’s appearance without soaking it.
- Dry powder cleaning: A specialised cleaning powder is distributed over the rug’s surface. Soft rotating brushes help the powder latch onto dust, dirt, and pet hair. Afterward, we thoroughly vacuum, removing the powder and the attached debris, leaving the rug fresher and cleaner.
Recommended for: Delicate natural fibres, Persian or Oriental rugs, and any rug vulnerable to water and heat. Please note that while dry cleaning refreshes and deodorises, it may be less effective at removing old, set-in stains.
We use hot water extraction for a reason: it’s simply more effective and safer for your rugs than traditional steam cleaning. High-pressure steam can sometimes “cook” stains into fibres, making them harder to remove. In contrast, hot water extraction uses precisely controlled water temperature and pressure, along with eco-friendly detergents, to dislodge dirt gently but thoroughly. The powerful suction action extracts almost all the moisture and grime, leaving you with a cleaner, fresher rug that dries faster.
