01

Carpet pre-sprays

The workhorse of the clean. Applied first to break down oils, grease and traffic soil before extraction or agitation.

 02

Extraction rinses

Flush suspended soil out of the fibre, neutralise leftover pre-spray and support faster drying so carpets resoil more slowly.

 03

Encapsulation

Low-moisture polymers that crystallise soil for removal by vacuum. Ideal for commercial maintenance and fast turnaround.

 04

Spotters & stain removers

Targeted treatments for coffee, wine, grease, blood and protein spills that a general detergent can't shift.

 05

Defoamers

Control foam in your recovery tank to protect the vacuum motor and keep extraction working at full suction.

 06

Deodorisers & odour control

Neutralise odours at the source rather than masking them — the finishing step clients notice immediately.

 07

Urine & odour control

Enzyme and oxidising treatments that break down the uric salts behind recurring pet and accident odours.

 08

Upholstery cleaners

Gentler chemistry for fabric furniture and delicate weaves where carpet-strength products are too aggressive.

 09

Leather cleaners

Cleaners and conditioners that lift soil from leather without drying or cracking the surface.

 10

Rug cleaning

Fibre-safe solutions for wool, silk and synthetic rugs, including dye-stable formulas for valuable pieces.

 11

Carpet & fabric protectors

Applied after cleaning to repel future spills and extend the time between deep cleans — an easy upsell on every job.

 12

Refills & super bases

Concentrated super bases and bulk refills that lower your cost per litre on the products you use most.

From a single carpet detergent to a full commercial chemical line-up, our products help you clean more efficiently and choose the right solution for each job.

What chemicals do professional carpet cleaners use?

Professional carpet cleaners use a sequence of products rather than one all-purpose cleaner. A typical job runs through a carpet pre-spray to break down soil, agitation to lift it from the base of the fibre, an extraction rinse to flush it out and neutralise residue, then targeted spotters for individual stains and deodorisers to finish.

Defoamers protect the machine during extraction, and for low-moisture work, encapsulation polymers replace the rinse-and-extract stage. The exact line-up depends on the carpet fibre, the soil level, the stain type, the cleaning machine and whether the job is residential, commercial, industrial, restoration-based or routine maintenance.

How to choose the right carpet cleaning chemical

The simplest way to choose the right carpet cleaning chemicals is to think in the order you actually clean. A professional result comes from a sequence of steps, each with its own chemistry. Here's how the stages fit together.

1. Pre-spray — this does most of the cleaning

A carpet pre-spray is applied to the carpet and left to dwell, commonly around five to ten minutes depending on the product, so it breaks the bond between soil and fibre before you extract. For heavy or oily traffic soil and synthetic carpet, use an alkaline pre-spray; for wool and natural fibres, choose a gentler, near-neutral fibre-safe formula. Get this step right and the rest is easier: if the pre-spray has done its job, the wand is really just rinsing.

2. Agitate

Working the pre-spray into the pile with a brush or rotary machine lifts soil out of the base of the fibre, where vacuums and wands can't reach. On commercial carpet, offices, hallways and high-traffic areas this single step is often the difference between an average clean and a noticeably restored one.

3. Rinse or extract

An extraction rinse flushes the suspended soil and spent pre-spray back out of the carpet, neutralises alkaline residue and returns the fibre close to its natural pH. Rinses are highly diluted because only a small amount of surfactant is needed to rinse cleanly. Using the right rinse supports faster drying and helps reduce the sticky residue that can attract dirt and cause carpet to resoil — which matters most on commercial carpet, rentals, offices and high-traffic areas cleaned regularly.

4. Spot treat

No single product removes every stain, which is why professionals carry a small spotter kit rather than one bottle. Match the spotter to the spill — an enzyme-based product for protein and food stains, an oxidising spotter for tannins like coffee and wine. Always test on an inconspicuous area first, follow the label, and blot rather than rub so you don't drive the stain deeper or distort the pile.

5. Deodorise and protect

A deodoriser neutralises the source of an odour instead of covering it, and a fabric protector applied to a clean, dry carpet repels the next round of spills. Both are quick finishing steps that lift the perceived quality of the job, and protection is a useful add-on service for clients who want longer-lasting results.

Best Carpet Cleaning Products & Solutions for Professional Carpet Care

Choosing the right carpet cleaning product and solutions helps you get better results for every carpet type, stain and cleaning method.

Carpet cleaning detergents for regular and heavy-duty cleaning

Carpet cleaning detergents are the most commonly used carpet cleaning product, removing dirt, soil, oils and everyday marks from fibres. They suit regular maintenance, deeper extraction and commercial work. For busy offices, rentals, schools and hospitality, a heavy-duty detergent handles built-up soil and high foot traffic. Formula 90 is a dependable all-round starting point trusted by cleaners across Australia.

Carpet pre-sprays for high-traffic areas

Entryways, hallways and reception areas collect more body oils, grease and ground-in soil, so they need a stronger pre-treatment. A carpet pre-spray is applied before extraction to loosen soil for better results. For organic and protein-heavy soil, an enzyme pre-spray such as Prekleen works more thoroughly than a standard detergent. Always allow the recommended dwell time before extracting.

Carpet spotters and stain removers

Some stains need a targeted spotter rather than a general detergent. Cleancare's spotters treat marks from spills, food, drinks, grease and mud — Professional Spotlifter handles most day-to-day spots. Blot rather than rub, test first, and treat stains early before they set into the fibre.

Carpet deodorisers and odour control

Clean carpet should smell fresh, not just look clean. Odours from pets, spills, damp and smoke settle into the fibre. A deodoriser neutralises smells rather than masking them — Kill Odour leaves a fresh finish. For pet urine, a dedicated urine and odour product works better, using enzymes or oxidisers to break down the uric salts that cause odours to return.

Carpet defoamers for cleaning machines

Foam build-up reduces machine performance, cuts suction and creates mess. A defoamer controls foam during extraction and protects the vacuum motor. Keep one on hand, as foam is common when cleaning carpet that still holds detergent residue.

Carpet rinse chemicals for a cleaner finish

A rinse chemical removes detergent residue and balances carpet pH after alkaline pre-sprays or strong detergents. It also reduces sticky residue that attracts soil. A proper rinse matters most on commercial carpet and high-traffic areas, helping carpets dry better and stay cleaner for longer.

Rug cleaning chemicals

Rugs need careful cleaning because fibre type, dye stability and construction vary. Cleancare supplies rug cleaning chemicals for professional rug cleaners, carpet cleaners and customers needing suitable products. Always check suitability and test on a hidden area first, especially on wool, silk or dye-sensitive rugs.

Upholstery and leather cleaning products

Most customers who clean carpet also need products for lounges, chairs and leather surfaces, which need gentler chemistry. Cleancare stocks dedicated upholstery cleaning and leather cleaning ranges formulated to clean these surfaces more safely. Read the label and test on a hidden area before full use.

Commercial and industrial carpet cleaning chemicals

Safety tips before using carpet cleaning chemicals

Before using any carpet cleaning chemical, read the product label and follow the recommended dilution and application instructions.

Test the product on a small hidden section of carpet before applying it to a visible area. Don't mix chemicals unless the instructions clearly allow it, and use appropriate protective equipment when working with stronger solutions, especially in commercial or professional environments.

For professional and commercial use, refer to the product's Safety Data Sheet where available. Correct use helps protect the carpet, the cleaning machine and the people doing the work.

Carpet cleaning chemical FAQs

What chemicals are used for carpet cleaning?

Carpet cleaning uses detergents, pre-sprays, spotters and stain removers, deodorisers, defoamers, extraction rinses and encapsulation products. The right product depends on the carpet condition, fibre type, stain and cleaning method.

What chemicals do professional carpet cleaners use?

Professional carpet cleaners use a sequence of products, including a carpet pre-spray, extraction rinse, spotters, deodorisers, defoamers and fabric protectors. For low-moisture cleaning, encapsulation polymers may also be used.

What are the best carpet cleaning chemicals?

The best carpet cleaning chemicals depend on the carpet fibre, soil level, stain type and cleaning method. For general heavy-duty cleaning, Cleancare’s Formula 90 is a reliable all-round detergent. For organic or protein-heavy soil, an enzyme pre-spray such as Prekleen may be more suitable.

What is the difference between a carpet pre-spray and a rinse?

A carpet pre-spray is applied first to loosen soil, oils and grease from the carpet fibre. A rinse is used afterwards through the extraction machine to remove loosened soil, reduce residue and help balance the carpet.

Do I need a carpet rinse chemical?

A carpet rinse is useful after strong detergents or alkaline pre-sprays. It helps remove residue, balance the carpet’s pH and reduce sticky film that can attract soil.
