Looking for professional carpet cleaning in Melbourne?
Cleancare cleans carpets and rugs for homes and businesses right across the city — lifting the dirt, allergens, stubborn stains and odours that everyday vacuuming leaves behind. The result is carpet that looks, feels and smells fresh again.
What sets us apart is simple. Since 1972, we've supplied carpet cleaners across Melbourne, Australia with the machines and solutions the industry relies on. So when we clean your carpet, we use the same commercial-grade equipment and premium products the professionals use — not the rented supermarket machines most operators turn up with.

Professional Carpet Stain Removal in Melbourne
One of the most common reasons people call us is stain removal. Cleancare uses a focused process that's ideal for treating most carpet stains — and in many cases, we can treat the stain without having to clean the entire room.
Just note that if the treatment lifts surrounding dirt too, you may want a full carpet clean so you're not left with one noticeably cleaner patch.
With stains, time matters. The sooner you get in touch, the better the result — the longer a spill sits in the carpet, the higher the chance of permanent discolouration.
Our team can also jump on spills, marks and odours that need quick attention. For tougher, set-in marks, our professional stain removal service treats each stain with the right method and solution for your carpet type.
Cost-Effective, Environmentally Responsible Carpet Cleaning
We use cleaning products that are gentle on the environment and approved for use in Australia, and we train our team to use only the amount needed — never more.
That keeps our carpet cleaning better value for you, and it cleans better too: overloading carpet with excess chemical is actually less effective and leaves behind sticky residue that attracts dirt faster.

Experienced Carpet Cleaning Team in Melbourne
When you book Cleancare, the team that arrives genuinely knows carpets. We've spent over 50 years supplying the carpet cleaning industry across Australia — the machines, the solutions and the know-how that professional cleaners depend on. That depth of knowledge now goes into the way we clean your carpets.
Carpet cleaning takes more skill than it looks. Modern equipment has to be used properly — judging how much moisture to apply, reading each carpet type and adjusting technique as you go. Done poorly, you end up with over-wet carpet, sticky residue or a patchy finish. Done right, you get a deep, even clean that dries fast and lasts.
Our team understands the differences between carpet styles and the small techniques that make a real difference — like using multiple passes on thick cut-pile so the base isn't saturated while the denser tufts still get cleaned thoroughly.
It's the kind of detail that only comes from knowing the trade properly.
We also provide commercial carpet cleaning for Melbourne offices, retail spaces and business premises that need clean, fresh and presentable carpets all year round.

We also offer protection treatments for carpets, rugs, lounges and mattresses. It's a low-cost way to guard against future stains and odours and help everything last longer — which saves you money on replacements down the track.

Frequently Asked Questions
What carpet cleaning services do you offer in Melbourne?
Cleancare provides professional carpet cleaning across Melbourne for homes, apartments, offices, rental properties and commercial spaces. Our services include steam carpet cleaning, deep carpet cleaning, rug cleaning, upholstery and sofa cleaning, stain treatment, odour removal and end-of-lease carpet cleaning.
How much does carpet cleaning cost in Melbourne?
Carpet cleaning prices in Melbourne depend on the number of rooms, carpet condition and the cleaning method. Rather than a one-size-fits-all rate, we give you a free, no-obligation quote up front so you know the exact carpet cleaning cost before we begin — with no hidden fees.
Steam or dry cleaning — which one do I need?
Steam cleaning, also known as hot water extraction, is the deepest and most effective method, and our most popular option. It lifts embedded dirt, allergens and bacteria from the carpet fibres. Dry cleaning uses very little moisture, so carpets are ready to use sooner, which is handy for offices or quick turnarounds. Not sure? We’ll recommend the right one when we quote.
Can you remove tough or old carpet stains?
We treat many common stains, including coffee, wine, food, mud, pet accidents and general dirt, and get out far more than a DIY clean. Results depend on the type of stain, how long it’s been there and the carpet material, so we’ll be honest about what to expect before we start. A few very old or set-in stains can be permanent.
Can you get rid of pet smells, not just the stain?
Yes. We use enzyme treatments that break odours down at the source instead of masking them. For deeply soaked-in pet odours, we’ll be honest about what’s realistic before we begin.
Do you provide commercial carpet cleaning in Melbourne?
Yes. Cleancare offers commercial carpet cleaning for offices, shops, clinics, schools, showrooms and other business premises, scheduled around your hours to keep disruption to a minimum.
How wet will my carpet be, and when can I walk on it?
Our high-powered extraction pulls out most of the moisture, so carpets aren’t left soaking. They’re usually touch-dry within a few hours and fully dry in 4–6 hours, or up to 24 hours in humid weather. Opening windows or running a fan speeds it up.
Is it safe for my kids and pets?
Yes. We use effective, low-toxicity products applied properly, and carpets are safe to use once dry. Just flag any allergies or sensitivities and we’ll adjust where needed.
How often should I have my carpets cleaned?
For most homes, every 6–12 months keeps carpets fresh and healthy. Homes with pets, kids, allergy sufferers or high foot traffic benefit from cleaning every 3–6 months. Many carpet warranties also recommend regular professional cleaning.
Why should I choose Cleancare for carpet cleaning in Melbourne?
We’re backed by more than 50 years in the cleaning industry as one of Melbourne’s leading cleaning suppliers, so your carpets are cleaned with the same commercial-grade equipment and premium solutions the professionals buy from us. Add fully insured technicians, honest pricing and a satisfaction guarantee, and you get clean, fresh, hygienic carpets without the guesswork.
How do I book carpet cleaning in Melbourne?
Easy — call us on 1800 335 007 or request a free quote through the website. Just share your suburb, number of rooms, carpet condition and any problem stains, and we’ll give you an accurate quote.
