Chem-Dry Great Southern: Carpet Cleaning in Albany WA
We are the Chem-Dry business for the Great Southern, and we clean carpets and upholstery in Albany, WA, with a trail of happy customers all around Albany and beyond. The work is done in your home or your premises rather than at a shop counter, so carpet cleaning in Albany starts with a phone call on 0427 873 677. Alongside carpet we clean upholstery, mattresses, tile, grout and stone, and we treat pet urine odours.
Hot Carbonating Extraction, and why the carpet dries so quickly
Our method is Hot Carbonating Extraction. Carbonation makes dirt and grime release from the fibres of your carpet and rise to the surface, where it is easily extracted and swept away. The practical difference is water. Our process uses 80 per cent less water than typical steam cleaning, so your carpet will dry in one to four hours instead of one to two days. Exactly how long depends on humidity, airflow to the rooms cleaned and the type of carpet.
The solution we use is called The Natural. Chem-Dry states that its ingredients are on the FDA Generally Recognised as Safe list, that it is safe and non-toxic for kids and pets, and that it contains no harsh chemicals, soaps, detergents or phosphates. There are twelve green-certified products in the range, including the Stain Extinguisher, the PowerGuard protectant, sanitisers and pet odour removers.
What we clean
Our services
- Carpet cleaning: residential and commercial, by Hot Carbonating Extraction, with vacuuming included as part of the standard service.
- Upholstery cleaning: lounges and chairs at home, and desk chairs, sofas and partitions in a workplace.
- Mattress cleaning: the entire mattress, side, back and front, treated with a sanitising disinfectant, with optional dust mite treatment or mould removal. You can use the bed only a few hours after the cleaning is finished.
- Pet urine odour removal: P.U.R.T. contacts the source of the odour and begins a chemical reaction that destroys it, which is what is needed when simple cleaning will not shift it.
- Specialty stain removal: for the marks a general clean leaves behind.
- Tile, grout and stone cleaning: bathrooms, kitchens, walls, floors and counters, finished with a durable sealant, plus grout colouring, grout colour repair and stone colour enhancing.
- Protection and sanitisation: the Protect package restores the manufacturer-applied stain guard that breaks down and fades over time, and the Healthy Home package sanitises and deodorises.
Work for Albany businesses
We clean for businesses big and small, from cubicles and workstations through to desk chairs, sofas, partitions and other commercial upholstered furniture. The short dry time matters more in a workplace than anywhere else: carpet back in service in one to four hours rather than one to two days means far less disruption to a working week. We also work Saturday mornings, which suits offices and shops that would rather not close.
How often, and what to expect on the day
The EPA suggests homeowners clean their carpets every three to six months, and more often in homes with kids or pets, or where someone has asthma or allergies. Manufacturers recommend professional upholstery cleaning every 24 to 48 months, and we suggest tile, grout and stone every 12 to 18 months. There is not much to do before we arrive, since vacuuming comes as part of the service. On pricing, a room is counted as 13 square metres, and larger spaces are charged accordingly, so it is worth mentioning room sizes when you ring.
Chem-Dry cites a study by an independent air quality laboratory that found an average removal of 98.1 per cent of common household allergens, including cat and dog dander and dust mite allergen, and, with sanitiser added to the process, 89 per cent of airborne bacteria and 82.3 per cent of bacteria in carpets.
