Steam Cleaning for Carpets, Upholstery and Hard Surfaces
High-temperature steam lifts soil out of fibres and off hard surfaces, which makes it a practical option where heavy chemical use isn't appropriate.
Steam Cleaning
Heat and Moisture, Not Heavy Chemicals
Steam cleaning uses high-temperature water vapour to loosen soil so it can be extracted, rather than relying on chemical action to break it down.
That matters most in two situations. The first is soft furnishings — carpet, upholstery and fabric partitions — where soil works down into the fibre and surface cleaning only ever addresses the top layer. The second is environments where reduced chemical residue is a genuine requirement, such as childcare rooms, consulting suites and food preparation areas.
It is not a replacement for routine vacuuming or mopping. It is a periodic treatment that sits alongside them, typically scheduled a few times a year, or more often in high-traffic areas.
The soil you can see is rarely the soil that matters.
Where steam cleaning fits
- Carpet and carpet tileExtraction cleaning across open-plan floors, offices, corridors and meeting rooms.
- Entry matting and walk-off areasThe highest-soil zones on any site, where most external dirt is captured.
- Office chairs and soft seatingFabric seating in workstations, breakout areas and waiting rooms.
- Fabric partitions and screensAcoustic panels and workstation dividers that collect dust and marking over time.
- Tile and groutHard floors where soil has worked into grout lines that mopping cannot lift.
- Washroom fixtures and surfacesSteam applied to fittings and surfaces where reduced chemical use is preferred.
- Kitchen and food preparation areasSurfaces and floors in staff kitchens and food handling spaces.
- Hard-to-reach surfacesEdges, tracks and fittings where steam reaches further than a cloth.

Benefits
What steam cleaning offers
Reaches into the fibre
Heat and moisture lift soil out of carpet and upholstery rather than moving it around the surface.
Reduced chemical residue
Useful where product residue is a real consideration — childcare rooms, medical suites and food areas.
Extends the life of soft furnishings
Ground-in grit is abrasive. Removing it periodically slows the wear that leads to early replacement.
Frequently requested by
How It Works
How we approach a steam clean
Identify the surfaces
We check fibre and surface types so temperature and method suit the material rather than damaging it.
Pre-vacuum and pre-treat
Loose soil is removed first, and heavily marked areas are treated before extraction begins.
Steam and extract
Steam is applied and the loosened soil extracted, working in sections across the area.
Allow drying time
We schedule so surfaces have time to dry properly before the space is back in normal use.
