Choosing the Best Carpet Cleaning Method for Your Perth Home or Business
Is your carpet just dirty, or is it hiding a world of bacteria, allergens, and trapped dust? In a city like Perth, where sandy shoes and humid air are part of daily life, carpets can take a serious beating. If you’re looking to revive your flooring, selecting the right carpet cleaning method is essential for effective, long-lasting results.
At What Mess Cleaning Services, we specialise in carpet steam cleaning across Perth and surrounding suburbs. But how does that compare to other techniques? Let’s break it down so you can make the most informed decision before booking.
Most Common Carpet Cleaning Methods in Perth
1. Hot Water Extraction (Steam Cleaning)
The gold standard of carpet cleaning. Hot water is injected deep into the fibres, then extracted with dirt and contaminants.
Pros:
- Penetrates deep for thorough cleaning
- Removes bacteria, allergens, and tough stains
- Recommended by most carpet manufacturers
Cons:
- Longer drying time (though we use powerful equipment to speed it up – approx. 2hrs)
✅ Best for homes with kids, pets, or allergy sufferers.
2. Dry Carpet Cleaning
Uses minimal moisture and specialised cleaning powders.
Pros:
- Quick drying
- Good for surface-level maintenance
Cons:
- Doesn’t clean as deeply as steam cleaning
- Less effective on heavy soiling
3. Bonnet Cleaning
A rotating pad absorbs dirt from the carpet surface.
Pros:
- Fast and budget-friendly
- Used in commercial spaces
Cons:
- Only cleans the surface
- Not ideal for homes with high foot traffic
4. Encapsulation
A low-moisture option where dirt is crystallised and vacuumed away.
Pros:
- Eco-friendly and quick drying
- Great for maintenance
Cons:
- Not suitable for very dirty carpets
Why We Recommend Carpet Steam Cleaning in Perth
At What Mess, we almost always recommend steam cleaning for its superior results. It’s the most effective method for:
- Deep sanitisation
- Stain removal
- Odour elimination
- Extending carpet lifespan
We follow IICRC industry standards and use truck-mounted and portable steam cleaning equipment for properties of all sizes — from city apartments to large homes in Perth’s northern suburbs like Joondalup, Banksia Grove, or Carramar.
DIY vs Professional Carpet Cleaning
Sure, renting a machine might seem cheaper. But DIY methods often:
- Leave moisture behind, leading to mould
- Fail to remove deep stains
- Damage carpet fibres if used incorrectly
Professional cleaning ensures:
- Faster drying
- Advanced stain treatments
- Trained technicians who know your carpet type
