Carpet cleaning at the end of a lease
If you are moving out, check what your tenancy agreement and condition report say about the carpets. In Victoria, renters must leave the property reasonably clean, with fair wear and tear excepted, and the condition report from the start of the agreement is the reference. Since 29 March 2021 a rental provider can only require professional cleaning at the end of the tenancy if the property was professionally cleaned immediately before you moved in and you were told, or if it is needed to return the property to its condition at the start, allowing for fair wear and tear. Carpet steam cleaning can be added to an end of lease clean in Footscray in the same booking. Moving out? See moving out and claiming your rental bond.

How we clean carpets
Our carpet cleaning is a steam clean (hot water extraction):
- Heavily marked areas are pre-treated to loosen dirt and spots.
- Hot water and cleaning solution are worked through the carpet fibres and extracted with the machine, taking the loosened dirt with them.
- As much water as possible is extracted, so the carpet is left damp rather than wet.
Keep the room ventilated afterwards and avoid walking on the damp carpet in outdoor shoes. How long it takes to dry depends on the carpet, the weather and airflow.
Stains, odours and what to expect
Steam cleaning lifts everyday soiling and many spots, but results depend on what caused a stain, how long it has been there and what has already been used on it. Some marks, such as dyes, bleach spots or old pet urine, may only fade or may not come out at all, and wear in high-traffic paths is not dirt. Tell us about stains, pets and recent spills in the booking form’s instructions field so we know what to expect.
If something spills before we arrive
- Act quickly: scoop up solids and blot liquids with a clean white cloth or paper towel.
- Blot, don’t rub, and work from the outside of the spot towards the middle so it does not spread.
- Use only a little water and avoid soaking the carpet; over-wetting can spread a stain into the backing.
- Before using any product, check the carpet’s care guide and the product label, and test on a hidden spot.
Looking after carpet between cleans
Regular vacuuming, especially in hallways and other high-traffic areas, removes grit before it wears the fibres, and doormats at entrances keep a lot of it out. Your carpet manufacturer’s care guide is the best reference for products and cleaning methods for your carpet type.
Footscray apartments and rentals: getting carpets ready for the clean
Footscray is apartment country. In the ABS 2021 Census, 3,856 of the suburb’s 7,370 occupied private dwellings were flats or apartments (about 52%), and 2,176 of those were in blocks of four storeys or more. Most homes were rented too: 4,123 dwellings, or about 56%.
That changes how a carpet clean runs. Our cleaners bring their equipment up to your door, so a little planning on your side helps the visit run smoothly:
- If your building needs a lift or loading bay booked, check the owners corporation rules and book it around your preferred start time.
- Put parking, intercom and access notes in the booking form’s instructions field, along with which rooms are carpeted.
- Make sure power and water are connected and turned on, especially in a vacant apartment between tenancies.
- Clear small items and anything fragile from the floor; our cleaners move light furniture only.
Renting and moving out? Carpet cleaning can go into the same booking as an end of lease clean in Footscray, and the Footscray area page lists Maribyrnong City Council’s hard waste and tip information for old rugs and rubbish. Next door, we also cover carpet cleaning in Seddon, carpet cleaning in Yarraville and, across the river, carpet cleaning in Kensington.
Renting in Footscray with a pet: carpet care before you hand back the keys
Victorian renters ask permission for a pet with a separate pet request form for each animal, and the rental provider has 14 days to decide. According to Consumer Affairs Victoria, a rental provider can’t ask for an extra “pet bond”, and if pet damage is disputed, VCAT considers fair wear and tear and the age and condition of the damaged items. Check your own lease and condition report for anything agreed in writing.
Before the carpet clean
- Vacuum up loose pet hair first, particularly along skirting boards and in favourite sleeping spots.
- Tell us about pet accidents and odours in the booking instructions so they can be pre-treated.
- Expect fresh marks to lift better than old urine stains, which may only fade.
Did you know? Footscray began as “Saltwater”, a settlement around an 1839 punt on what was then called the Saltwater River (now the Maribyrnong), before growing into a city named after an English town.

Carpet cleaning in Footscray: questions
Do you do wet carpet cleaning in Footscray?
Our carpet service is a steam clean (hot water extraction) of fitted carpet: the dirt is lifted with hot water and extracted, and the carpet is left damp rather than wet. If your carpet is soaked from a leak or a flood, call 1300 280 576 before booking so we can check whether our service suits the job.
Do you clean carpets in Seddon and Yarraville as well?
Yes. Seddon and Yarraville have their own pages: carpet cleaning in Seddon and carpet cleaning in Yarraville. The booking form shows the price for your rooms in either suburb before you send the request.
Will steam cleaning get pet smells out of carpet?
Steam cleaning with pre-treatment can reduce many everyday pet odours, but old urine that has soaked into the backing may only fade. Let us know about pets and problem areas when you book so we know what to expect and can plan the clean.
How is carpet cleaning priced?
From $98.60. $98.60 for the first room and $68.44 for each additional room. Final pricing is shown during booking. A standard room is approximately 3 × 3 metres to 3 × 3.5 metres; larger spaces need to be confirmed with us.
Do you clean rugs, couches or upholstery in Footscray?
Our carpet service is for fitted carpet. For rugs, couches or other upholstery, call 1300 280 576 before booking to check what we can do.
Will you move furniture?
Our carpet cleaners can help move light furniture. They do not move heavy or bulky furniture and do not provide a removalist service, so please clear small items and anything fragile from the floor.
Can you remove every stain?
Not always. Many spots lift with pre-treatment and steam cleaning, but some stains (for example dyes, bleach or old pet urine) may only fade. Tell us about them when you book.
Do I need to be home?
Not necessarily. Power and water must be connected, and we coordinate access with you when you book.
Do I need my carpets cleaned when I move out?
Not always. In Victoria, a rental provider can only require professional cleaning at the end of a tenancy in limited cases (Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (Vic), reg 12). Check your lease and condition report, and see moving out and claiming your rental bond. If you need it, carpet steam cleaning can be added to an end of lease clean in the same booking.
