IICRC Certified Firm
Fully InsuredWatch your rug's full journey
From your front door to our Yatala facility and safely back again. This is the real process, not a quick spray.
Why a quick clean leaves the smell behind
You wanted the lounge rug back in the room, but the musty rolled-up smell was too strong, or the pet urine had soaked in too deep for home cleaning to touch. From a distance it looks clean, yet it feels gritty and crunchy underfoot and the dog keeps sniffing that one corner. So you face the question Brisbane homeowners keep asking: clean it at home, or send it away to be washed properly. Here is the honest answer for synthetics. Polypropylene and olefin cling to oily traffic soil, and the odour sits deep in the pile and the rubber or latex backing. A surface clean on your floor simply cannot reach it.
A carpet cleaner with a van can ruin a fine rug
One-size-fits-all carpet machines are the number one cause of rug damage. Here is exactly what goes wrong.

Specialist care, not a quick spray
Your rug is collected and brought to our dedicated washing facility, where it is hand-assessed and cleaned by fibre, then dried under control. A deep, safe clean that protects the rug you love, backed by 29 years and a 7-day free re-wash guarantee.
Built to protect your rug
This is the on-site-versus-factory question answered: your rug is fully immersed, rinsed, then dried front, back and through the backing at our dedicated facility. That last step is exactly what an in-home or van clean cannot do, and the reason the smell stays gone.
We rinse pet urine and stale storage smell out of the pile and backing rather than perfuming the top. Synthetics are seen as easy, but easy is what leaves trapped grit and odour behind, and we wash for the part you cannot see.
We have spent 29 years washing rugs, not carpets, and it shows in a 4.9 rating from 8,550 reviews. Every job is backed by full insurance and answered by a real person on the phone, not a call centre.

Common questions
Can synthetic rugs be cleaned, or is it cheaper to just replace it?
Yes, synthetics clean up beautifully, and they are our most affordable rug type to wash, so cleaning almost always beats replacing on cost. A full immersion wash lifts trapped grit, oily traffic soil and odour a vacuum or spray leaves behind, and revives flattened, crunchy pile so it feels soft and looks fresh again. Call 1800 655 949 for a free quote and an honest answer on whether yours is worth cleaning before you spend a cent.
Can you professionally clean a polyester rug?
Yes. Polyester, polypropylene, nylon and olefin are all safely hand-washed at our Yatala facility. We identify the fibre, test for colour-fastness, then immerse, rinse and dry the whole rug right through the backing under controlled conditions. Synthetics are durable and respond very well to a proper wash, far better than to the surface treatment most people try at home first.
Can you steam clean a synthetic rug?
We do something more thorough than steam. Steam and in-home sprays only treat the top and can leave moisture trapped in the backing, which is the number one cause of a musty smell on synthetics. Instead your rug is fully immersed and hand-washed, rinsed right through, then dried front, back and through the backing under controlled conditions so it comes back fresh and never damp underfoot.
Can you machine wash a 100% polyester rug?
Please do not put it in a household washing machine, as the agitation and spin can distort the backing, fray edges and set creases you cannot get out. We hand-wash by full immersion, never in an automated machine, so the fibres and backing are cleaned deeply without the damage a domestic machine causes. Free pickup and delivery means you never have to wrestle it into a machine yourself.
What if my rug is actually viscose, not synthetic, and gets ruined?
This is exactly why we identify the fibre and dye-test before any water touches it. Viscose and rayon go yellow, brown and pulpy when treated like polypropylene, and a rug mislabelled as synthetic is the most common way one is destroyed elsewhere. Our IICRC-certified technicians check the construction first and give yours the cool, fibre-correct care it needs. Full insurance and our 7-day free re-wash guarantee stand behind every rug.
