Rug Cleaning
Our 7-step rug cleaning process removes deep-seated dirt and revitalizes fibers. Using specialized techniques for both antique and modern rugs, we restore appearance and extend lifespan. Clients benefit from improved indoor air quality and preserved rug value through our expert cleaning services.
Urine Treatment
Specialized treatment eliminates urine stains and odors at their source. Our method targets urea, urochrome, and uric acid crystals to prevent recurring smells. This service ensures complete odor elimination and fabric restoration for both pet and human-related incidents.
Moth Treatment
Professional moth treatment removes larvae and prevents future infestations. The process includes application of repellent solutions that protect fibers without damaging rug materials. This service preserves rug integrity while maintaining a pest-free environment.
Rug Padding
High-quality rug underlays prevent slipping and protect flooring surfaces. We offer Durahold pads combining rubber and felt for optimal cushioning. This service enhances safety while extending both rug and floor lifespan through proper support and friction control.
Pickup & Delivery
Complimentary pickup and delivery available in Melbourne Metro and Mornington Peninsula. Our logistics system ensures secure handling and timely return of rugs. This service provides accessibility for clients who require assistance with rug transportation.
