Services
Carpet Cleaning
Our eight-step carpet cleaning process includes furniture moving, eco-friendly pre-spraying, hot water extraction, and rapid drying. We use truck-mounted equipment for deep cleaning and apply optional stain protection treatments. The service restores carpet appearance and extends its lifespan while maintaining eco-safety standards.
Upholstery Cleaning
This six-step upholstery cleaning involves protective sheeting, pre-treatment with eco-friendly solutions, hot water extraction, and fibre grooming. We handle delicate fabrics with specialist care and offer optional stain protection. The process removes allergens and restores soft furnishings to near-new condition.
Rug Cleaning
We offer on-site and off-site rug cleaning options. On-site treatment uses truck-mounted systems for synthetic rugs, while off-site involves specialist immersion washing for delicate or valuable rugs. Both methods include pre-wash inspection and optional protective treatments.
Leather Cleaning
Our leather cleaning process includes protective sheeting, soil extraction with specialist solutions, rinsing, and conditioning. We restore leather's natural texture and apply optional protective coatings. The service ensures furniture remains supple and stain-resistant while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Maintenance Plan
The Perfect Care maintenance plan includes bi-annual cleaning, unlimited stain removal, and 20% discounts on additional services. Clients receive free spotter refills and spreadable annual payments. This service ensures continuous protection and freshness for carpets and upholstery.

Report
I can fully recommend Careclean - during the initial quotation by Kevin, he was extremely helpful and professional in helping me to select the most appropriate cleaning package for my requirements. Vinnie, who undertook the cleaning, was professional, helpful; and friendly. The cleaning itself was completed to an excellent standard. The company is run extremely efficiently.

Extremely pleased with the cleaning of the carpets. Managed to remove the stains caused by make up and several incidents of spilt drinks from my teenage daughters carpet. Would definitely recommend.
