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 Richmond in the same booking. Moving out? See moving out and claiming your rental bond.

What is Steam Cleaning Carpet?

Steam cleaning carpet is a method of deep cleaning carpets using high-pressure steam. The process involves spraying hot water onto the carpet, which helps to loosen dirt and grime.

This technique sanitises your home by killing bacteria living within your fabric or flooring as it reaches temperatures up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit when necessary.
