Boards through the house, carpet in the bedrooms?
That’s most of Bentleigh. We clean the carpet you’ve actually got — plus the rugs on the boards — and protect the timber while we do it.
South Clean cleans carpets, rugs, upholstery, mattresses and curtains across Bentleigh — the renovated period homes and well-kept family houses between the village and the bay.
Book your Bentleigh clean
Tell us the carpeted rooms and any rugs, and we’ll come back with one fixed price.
Half-carpeted homes need a different quote
The classic Bentleigh renovation keeps the period frontage, opens up the back, and puts polished boards through the living areas — leaving carpet in the bedrooms and maybe one lounge. It’s a lovely way to live and an awkward thing to price, because most carpet cleaners quote as if you have a whole house of it.
We quote what’s actually there. Three bedrooms and a hallway is a completely normal booking, and the minimum call-out of $120 covers smaller jobs like that without any awkwardness. If you add the rugs off the boards at the same time, it’s one visit and one combined price rather than two call-outs.
Rugs are doing the heavy lifting
In a home with boards, the rugs take almost all the foot traffic that carpet would otherwise absorb — and they get dirty far faster than people expect, because there’s no wall-to-wall pile spreading the load. We clean rugs on site so nothing is sent away for a week, dye-test first if the colours are strong, and dry them flat and evenly.

Bentleigh carpet cleaning — FAQs
I only have carpet in the bedrooms – is that too small a job?
No, that is a very normal Bentleigh booking. We quote what is actually carpeted rather than assuming a whole house. The minimum call-out of $120 covers smaller jobs, and carpet starts from $40 per room.
Can you clean my rugs at the same time?
Yes, and it is worth doing together. One visit and one combined price beats two separate call-outs. Rugs are from $80 each and are cleaned on site, so nothing is sent away.
Will you get my polished floorboards wet?
No. We lay protection at the room edges and along the traffic path, control moisture at the carpet edge, and keep hoses off the finished floor. Damp boards cup and lift, so this is something we are deliberately careful about.
Do you clean wool carpet safely?
Yes. We test the fibre before applying anything and use pH-balanced, wool-safe solutions with controlled moisture and managed drying, which protects wool from shrinkage and browning.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Bentleigh?
Carpet is from $40 per room, rugs from $80 each, with a minimum call-out of $120. Everything is quoted upfront as one fixed price with no hidden charges.
How long does everything take to dry?
Carpet is usually dry within 2 to 4 hours. Rugs are dried flat and evenly, which takes a little longer but prevents the foundation distorting.
Do you cover McKinnon, Ormond and Brighton East?
Yes. We cover Bentleigh East, McKinnon, Ormond, Moorabbin, Hampton East and Brighton East at the same rates – there is no travel surcharge between suburbs.
Carpet, rugs, or both in Bentleigh?
One visit, one fixed price, timber protected throughout. Dry in hours, seven days a week.
