Book your Toorak clean
Tell us what needs cleaning — including fibre type if you know it — and we’ll come back with a fixed price.
Fine carpet is an investment. The wrong method is permanent.
Carpets in Toorak homes are often wool, silk-blend or custom-made, and the damage from an unsuitable clean — shrinkage, browning, dye migration, a bleached patch — cannot be undone afterwards. So we identify the fibre before anything is applied, then tailor the extraction to it: correct pH, and moisture kept deliberately low so the carpet dries evenly. If we think a stain has already permanently damaged the fibre, we will tell you that before we start rather than after.
Persian, silk and wool rugs
Fine rugs are the item most often ruined by general carpet cleaning. Natural dyes in hand-knotted Persian and silk rugs can bleed if they are over-wetted, and fringes need working by hand rather than under a machine. We dye-test an inconspicuous corner first, clean on site so the rug never leaves your home, and dry it flat and evenly so the foundation doesn’t distort.

Toorak carpet cleaning — FAQs
Do you clean wool, silk-blend and bespoke carpets?
Yes. We identify the fibre before applying anything, then use pH-balanced, fibre-safe solutions with deliberately low moisture. That is what protects fine carpet from shrinkage, browning and colour damage.
Can you clean a Persian or silk rug without damaging it?
Yes, and it is one of the things we are most careful about. We dye-test an inconspicuous corner first, clean on site so the rug never leaves your home, work the fringes by hand and dry it flat and evenly so the foundation does not distort.
What if my rug is antique or especially valuable?
Ask us to look at it before you book. Some antique or high-value pieces belong with a specialist restorer rather than a cleaner, and we would rather tell you that than take the job.
Are your technicians insured and discreet?
Yes. Every technician is fully insured and police-checked, and works discreetly and tidily. A certificate of currency is available on request for building or estate managers.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Toorak?
Standard carpet starts from $40 per room with a minimum call-out of $120. Fine, silk-blend and delicate carpets and rugs are quoted individually on fibre, size and condition – always upfront, with no hidden charges.
How long does fine carpet take to dry?
Most carpets are dry within 2 to 4 hours. On wool and fine fibres we deliberately use less moisture in the first place, because uneven drying is what causes browning. We will also tell you which windows and fans help most once we are done.
Will you tell me if a stain can’t be removed?
Yes, before we start rather than after. If a stain has already permanently damaged or dyed the fibre, no cleaning method will reverse it, and you should know that before you spend anything.
