Do you provide invoices for bond and rental purposes?
Yes. We provide detailed, itemised invoices suitable for bond claims and property managers for both carpet cleans and pest treatments.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash and bank transfer. Payment is due on completion of work.

Carpet Cleaning

How long does a full carpet clean take?
A typical 3-bedroom home takes around 1.5–2.5 hours depending on carpet condition. Drying time is an additional 2–4 hours.
How long do carpets take to dry?
With hot water extraction, carpets are typically dry within 2–4 hours. Open windows and run fans to speed up drying.
Can you remove pet stains and odours?
Yes. We use enzyme-based pre-treatment products that break down the proteins in pet urine and neutralise odours at the source. We'll always advise upfront on what's achievable.
Do I need to move furniture?
We recommend moving small items beforehand. We can move light furniture as part of the clean, but large pieces are best moved before we arrive.
Is carpet cleaning safe for kids and pets?
Yes. Products are safe once dry — typically within 2–3 hours. We'll let you know when it's safe to use each area.

Lounge & Upholstery

What types of upholstery can you clean?
All fabric types: cotton, linen, microfibre, velvet and synthetic blends. We do not clean leather — that requires a specialist conditioning process.
How long does upholstery take to dry?
Most fabric sofas and lounges are dry within 3–5 hours. Open windows and run fans to speed things up.
Can you remove wine and food stains?
In most cases, yes. We use specialist stain pre-treatments before the main clean. We'll always be upfront if a stain is unlikely to fully lift.
Can you clean a mattress?
Yes — mattress cleaning removes dust mites, bacteria and stains. Ask about adding it to your booking.

Pest Control

Is the pest treatment safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use registered products approved for residential use. You'll need to vacate treated areas for 1–2 hours for standard treatments.
What pests do you treat?
Cockroaches, ants, spiders (including redbacks and funnel-webs), rodents (rats and mice), termites, silverfish, fleas, bed bugs, wasps and flies.
How long does a general pest treatment last?
Typically 6–12 months depending on the pest type and environment. We recommend annual treatments for most homes in the Tweed and Gold Coast area.
Do you treat termites?
Yes. If you suspect termite activity, call immediately — early detection is critical. We conduct inspections and apply appropriate treatments.
