The Best Carpet Cleaning for Melbourne Homes

MyHome have developed the best system for carpet cleaning for Melbourne’s homes.

Over the past 10 years MyHome has become the preferred cleaning company for hundreds of homes around Melbourne. With high demand for our carpet cleaning service, we are expanding the areas we service . Those who have used our service have been amazed at some of the results they’ve seen.

But what makes us special?

It’s the MyHome 6 Step “Dry Touch” Process. Here’s how it works, step by step.

1.       A Power Head, Wall to Wall and Crevice Vacuuming

Using a hospital-grade SEBO filtration vacuum, we remove years of built up dust, grime, dirt, soils and pet hair. These potentially harmful products are often trapped in hard to clean places such as crevices and carpet edges.

2.       Individual Spot and Stain Treatment

Our technicians are trained to test each stain before treating it as permanent stains and discolouring can “fuse” to your carpets if treated incorrectly. Once tested, our technicians treat the blemish correctly for the best finish.

3.       Dry Touch Encapsulation Application

Our specially imported Big BOSS electric sprayer, powered by a 12 volt engine, is used to layer a fine neutral encapsulation spray over your carpet. The spray begins to create a clear polymer over dirt and soiling.

4.       Orbital Massaging

The Encapsulation product is massaged gently into each individual fibre of your carpet using our specially engineered HOS orbital scrubber at low RPM.  This process traps and crystallizes deep dirt and soiling ready for removal.

5.       Groomed Pile Alignment

After gentle agitation to capture the dirt and soil, the carpet fibres are groomed back into line using a process called ‘Pile Alignment’. Our technicians use the industry designed Grandi Groom Brush for this alignment process which treats the fibre tips to put wear back into them. Pile Alignment also helps accelerate the drying time required.

6.       MyHome Quality Care, Post Vacuum

Our technician will return to your home the following day to thoroughly vacuum your carpet, remove furniture coasters and attend to any stubborn spots or stains that may have re-appeared. This final step ensures we leave you with completely clean carpets – guaranteed!

It is our process, our professionalism and our service that sets MyHome apart from others carpet cleaning Melbourne’s homes.

Tips on Choosing a Quality Carpet for Your Home

Carpets make your home look comfortably snug and warm, making them a perfect addition for the approaching cold months. When you're looking to buy new ones, make sure that you get one that's in great condition and is of high quality and durability. Here are some tips:

Fiber content is perhaps the most important thing to check in a carpet, since your choice will affect the way your carpet will keep your home warm and comfy. Polypropylene can endure foot traffic well and can last a long time, while nylon can withstand stains and fading. Wool is also very resistant to wear and has excellent insulation properties, but it needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it away from stains.

If you're placing carpets in rooms where there is a lot of ultraviolet light coming in, opt for colors that can effectively resist fading. Light-colored carpets tend to fade less than darker ones, but they are stained easily. In short, opt to balance color choice with the room's propensity for spills or dirt stains.

High-quality carpet pads are available to protect your carpet. Although they might turn out expensive, they are actually good investments as they provide more comfort for the feet, stand up to wear, and function as carpet covers. This, plus proper care and carpet cleaning, assures you that your carpet will last a long time.

Take a Closer Look: Common Carpet Microbes

While Melbourne usually doesn't have the dangerous wildlife that Australia is known for, that doesn't mean that a home in this city is 100 percent safe. Even something as simple and as unassuming as a carpet can contain dangerous contagions and bacteria that can cause sickness if left unchecked. To be fair, these harmful microbes are present everywhere, but this only stresses the importance of getting rid of them as quickly as possible.

Molds are possibly the most common microbes in the carpet; albeit also one of the hardest to kill. Coming in various shapes and thriving in different environments, molds are also quite difficult to identify since the relatively-harmless molds (like Alternaria) can resemble the potentially-lethal ones (like Stachybotrys). The difficulty in killing them comes from the fact that molds originate as spores which are virtually invisible to the naked eye until they've grown large enough to be noticeable.

Salmonella bacteria are also commonly found in carpets, especially in households with pets, and can cause digestive problems like diarrhea. This bacteria is one reason why it is never wise for your kids to pick up food that fell from the table since Salmonella is quite resilient even though it has a short life. The Norovirus is similarly resilient though it can survive for six weeks; and causes similar problems, but is more commonly found in dusty areas.

Always make sure your carpets are well-washed to keep your home clean. For this, it's best to call carpet cleaning professionals.
