Carpet cleaning in Hobart means working around old houses and a cold, damp climate. Battery Point cottages and Sandy Bay homes often carry wool carpet that’s older than the people living on it, and a hire machine that leaves water in the backing is the quickest way to a musty room within the week. A professional clean pre-treats the pile, loosens the soil and extracts the water, which is the difference between clean and merely wet.
Our Hobart branch is in Moonah, 4.7 km from this area, so a clean in Glenorchy, Kingston or over the river in Bellerive is a short run. As for drying time, the technician tells you on the day after seeing the carpet, the room and the weather. We don’t promise hours we haven’t measured.

“Can not express how grateful we are with Pete came to our rescue at short notice. We purchased a apartment and there had been tenants in
They had the carpet done but it was so unprofessional left it still dirty and they had put so much water into the carpet. That when people came and total fix it. Pete is very knowledgeable and know what he talking about when come to carpet.
Could not ask for better person to carpet clean our carpet . He also came our lounge a clean which brough up to brand new again. Thanks Pete. Will certainly high recommending to any one who looking for carpet. Could not believe the prices reasonable as well .

The first thing the technician does is look. A heritage wool carpet near Salamanca Market, a synthetic one in a Glenorchy rental coming up for hand-back and a heavily used family hall in Kingston each need a different hand, and the method is named before anything is wet.
Dry vacuum, so grit comes out dry rather than being turned into mud.
Pre-spray and agitation, working the solution down into the pile.
Hot water extraction to rinse the fibres and pull the dirty water back out, the step that matters most in a cool-temperate city.
Spot treatment on anything the main pass leaves, at $45 per 15 minutes.
Drying, with the pile reset in one direction.
A carpet that shouldn’t take water gets a low-moisture method instead, and the technician will say which before starting. The brand holds IICRC S100 certification for carpet cleaning and works to the relevant Australian Standards.
What a Hobart clean costs
From-prices, with a minimum job total possible on small jobs: bedrooms are $88 per room, a small hall up to 3 m is $44, stairs are $6 each with landings at $12, and a small walk-in robe is $22. Small rugs are $44 each. For offices and short-stay apartments around the waterfront and MONA, commercial carpet is $88 per room up to 16 sqm and $5 per sqm beyond that.
What moves the total is the number of rooms, how many stains need the extra time, and access. A three-level Battery Point townhouse has stairs and landings a Bellerive unit doesn’t.
Our guarantee on every Hobart job
Every clean is covered by a satisfaction guarantee: if something isn’t right when the technician leaves, tell us and we’ll put it right. Technicians are police-checked and fully insured, the business carries $20 million in public and products liability cover, and the Elite brand has been operating since 1984.
If you’d like the next clean further away, Elite carpet protection is $6 per sqm and can be applied on the same visit while the carpet is clean. A fabric lounge is $88 per seat and a single mattress $90 for the top and sides, if you’d rather get the lot done in one booking.
Questions people ask in Hobart
How close is the branch?
The Hobart branch is in Moonah, 4.7 km from this area, which is why bookings in Sandy Bay, Battery Point, Glenorchy and Kingston are easy to fit in. Bellerive across the river is covered from the same branch.
Will you clean the carpet in a heritage home?
Yes, and the inspection at the start is where it's decided how. Wool and older carpets that shouldn't take a full wet clean get a low-moisture method instead, and the technician tells you which before starting.
Do you do offices and short-stay apartments?
Commercial carpet is $88 per room up to 16 sqm and $5 per sqm for larger floors. Short-stay apartments around the waterfront are a regular job, and the work can be timed between guests.
What's covered by the $20 million insurance?
That's the business's public and products liability cover. It sits alongside police-checked technicians and the satisfaction guarantee on every job, so if something isn't right when the technician leaves, it gets put right.
