Most carpets are dry within 2-4 hours after hot water extraction. In Woodley, many homes are semi-detached with windows to the front and rear, which allows effective cross-ventilation and helps speed up drying. The exact time depends on carpet thickness and pile depth, room ventilation, and indoor humidity on the day of cleaning. Thicker wool carpets with deep pile may take closer to the 4-hour mark, while thinner polypropylene loop-pile can be dry in under 2 hours. We recommend opening windows, using fans if available, and keeping foot traffic off the cleaned areas until they are fully dry.

Yes. All of our cleaning solutions are non-toxic, biodegradable and free from harsh chemicals. They are completely safe for babies, young children, dogs, cats and other household pets, as well as people with allergies or asthma. Our hot water extraction process actually improves the indoor air quality in your home by removing allergens, dust mites, bacteria and chemical residue that have become trapped deep within carpet fibres over time.

Stain Kings uses hot water extraction, which is a fundamentally different process to steam cleaning. Hot water extraction works by injecting hot water and Prochem cleaning solution under pressure deep into the carpet pile, where it dissolves dirt, bacteria and allergens. The machine then immediately extracts the water along with all dissolved soiling into a waste tank, leaving the carpet clean and only lightly damp. Steam cleaning, by contrast, applies dry vapour at the carpet surface without any extraction step – the loosened dirt remains in the pile with no way to remove it. Because HWE physically removes the soiling rather than just loosening it, it achieves a far deeper clean and faster drying. This is why carpet manufacturers including Cormar Carpets, Brintons and Victoria Carpets specifically recommend hot water extraction as the preferred professional cleaning method for their products.

Yes. Stain Kings is a WoolSafe approved operator, meaning we are recognised under an international quality scheme specifically designed for operators who work with wool carpet products. Wool is a natural fibre that is pH-sensitive and can be damaged by harsh alkaline cleaning solutions, so it requires a careful approach using low-alkalinity, wool-safe formulations. Our Prochem solutions are specifically formulated for this purpose and are tested to WoolSafe standards. We adjust water temperature and extraction pressure for wool carpets to avoid fibre distortion, shrinkage or colour bleed. Whether it is a traditional Axminster, a Wilton weave or a modern wool twist-pile, your carpet is in safe hands.

We move light to medium furniture such as dining chairs, small tables, sofas and lightweight items at no extra charge. Heavy items such as beds, wardrobes, large bookcases and pianos are left in place and we clean around them. We recommend clearing smaller personal items, ornaments and clutter from the rooms before we arrive so we can work efficiently and ensure your belongings are fully protected during the clean.

It depends on your household and carpet type. For Woodley family homes with children or pets, we recommend professional cleaning every 12-18 months to remove the embedded dirt, allergens and bacteria that regular vacuuming cannot reach. Rental properties in Woodley with regular tenant turnover benefit from a full clean at the end of each tenancy to meet deposit-back standards and protect the carpet investment. Older Woodley housing with heavy-pile wool carpets – particularly the 1930s-1960s semis – should ideally be cleaned annually, as dense wool pile traps more particulate matter than thinner fibres. Newer builds fitted with polypropylene or nylon loop-pile can typically go 18-24 months between professional cleans, though high-traffic hallways and stairs may need attention sooner.

Most stains can be fully removed or significantly reduced, including tea, coffee, red wine, pet urine, food spills, mud, grease and general soiling. Some stains – such as bleach marks, permanent dye transfer and acid damage – have chemically altered the carpet fibre itself and cannot be reversed by any cleaning process. We always assess stains during our pre-inspection and give you an honest expectation of the likely outcome before any work begins. We carry specialist spotting solutions for over a dozen stain types including ink, candle wax, blood, paint and felt tip.
