Frequently Asked Questions

At Campbelltown Carpet Cleaning, we understand that keeping your carpets, upholstery, and flooring clean is essential for a healthy and comfortable home or business. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions about our professional carpet cleaning services.

  • How often should I get my carpets professionally cleaned?

    The frequency of professional carpet cleaning depends on your household, lifestyle, and the level of foot traffic your carpets experience. In a typical home, carpets should be cleaned every 6 to 12 months to maintain their freshness, remove dirt buildup, and prolong their lifespan. However, high-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and entryways may require more frequent cleaning, around every 3 to 6 months, to prevent dirt from embedding deep into the fibers.


    If you have pets, children, or allergy sufferers in the household, more frequent cleaning is recommended. Pet fur, dander, and allergens accumulate quickly and can contribute to poor indoor air quality, so a deep carpet clean every 3 to 6 months will help remove these pollutants. Commercial properties with heavy foot traffic should also schedule regular carpet cleaning every 3 months or more frequently to maintain a hygienic and professional environment.

  • What’s the difference between steam cleaning and dry cleaning?

    Steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, is a deep-cleaning method that uses high-pressure hot water combined with eco-friendly cleaning solutions to break down dirt, stains, and allergens. The process involves injecting heated water deep into the carpet fibers and then extracting it, along with loosened debris, using powerful suction. This method is highly effective for removing deep-seated dirt and bacteria, making it ideal for heavily soiled carpets and allergy sufferers. The only drawback is that carpets may take 4 to 8 hours to fully dry, depending on the airflow in your home.


    Dry cleaning, on the other hand, is a low-moisture cleaning method that uses specialized cleaning compounds to lift dirt and stains from the carpet fibers. Unlike steam cleaning, dry cleaning requires minimal drying time, with carpets ready to use in as little as one hour. This method is best suited for delicate carpets, wool carpets, or commercial spaces that require quick turnaround times. If you’re unsure which method is right for you, our team will assess your carpet type and recommend the best approach for your needs.

  • Will professional carpet cleaning remove all stains?

    Our professional stain removal process can eliminate most common household stains, including coffee spills, wine, pet accidents, and dirt. However, the effectiveness of stain removal depends on how long the stain has been present and the type of carpet fibers. Fresh stains are easier to remove, while older stains that have penetrated deep into the fibers may require multiple treatments to achieve the best results.


    Certain stains, such as bleach marks or dye-based stains, may not be fully removable as they have chemically altered the carpet’s color. In such cases, we use advanced spot treatments to minimize discoloration and restore your carpet’s appearance as much as possible. Our experienced technicians use specialized cleaning solutions designed for different types of stains, ensuring the safest and most effective stain removal process.

  • How long does it take for carpets to dry after cleaning?

    Drying times depend on the cleaning method used and the ventilation in your home. With steam cleaning, carpets typically take between 4 to 8 hours to dry completely, but this can be reduced by increasing airflow using fans, opening windows, or running an air conditioner. For best results, avoid walking on damp carpets until they are fully dry to prevent resoiling.


    For customers who require a faster drying time, dry cleaning is an excellent option. This method uses minimal moisture, allowing carpets to be ready to use within one hour. Dry cleaning is particularly beneficial for commercial spaces or homes where quick access to the carpeted areas is needed.

  • What should I do to prepare for my carpet cleaning appointment?

    To ensure an efficient and smooth cleaning process, we recommend clearing small furniture, rugs, and personal items from the cleaning area before our arrival. Vacuuming beforehand can help remove loose dirt and debris, but our team will also conduct a pre-cleaning assessment and spot treatment for stubborn stains.

    If you have specific concerns, such as pet stains or heavy soiling, let our technicians know so they can apply the appropriate pre-treatment solutions. Our team will handle the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to worry about moving larger furniture.
