Frequently asked questions

  • What are the benefits of professional carpet and upholstery cleaning?
    Professional carpet and upholstery cleaning offers several benefits, including 1. Improved air quality: Carpets and upholstery can trap dust, dirt, and other allergens, which can negatively impact indoor air quality. Professional cleaning can remove these pollutants, leading to cleaner, healthier air. 2. Extended lifespan: Regular cleaning can help extend the life of your carpets and upholstery by removing dirt and debris that can wear down fibres over time. 3. Stain removal: Professional cleaners have the tools and expertise to remove even tough stains, like red wine, pet urine, and coffee spills. 4. Improved appearance: Regular cleaning can help restore your carpets and upholstery to their original appearance, making them look and feel like new again. 5. Cost savings: By extending the lifespan of your carpets and upholstery, professional cleaning can save you money in the long run by reducing the need for replacement. At FibreRinse, we use the latest cleaning technology and eco-friendly solutions to ensure that your carpets and upholstery are thoroughly cleaned and restored to their original beauty.
  • How often should I have my carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned?
    It is recommended that you have your carpets and upholstery professionally cleaned every 12 to 18 months. This will help to remove any dirt, stains, and allergens that may have accumulated over time. However, the frequency of cleaning also depends on the amount of foot traffic and usage your carpets and upholstery receive. High-traffic areas, households with pets or small children, or homes with smokers may require more frequent cleaning. At FibreRinse, we offer customized cleaning plans based on your specific needs and preferences. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
  • How long does it take for carpets and upholstery to dry after professional cleaning?
    The drying time after our professional cleaning depends on several factors such as the type of carpet or upholstery, the cleaning method used, and the humidity level in the area. In general, carpets and upholstery can take anywhere from 4 to 12 hours to dry completely. However, with our advanced cleaning techniques, we use less water and more efficient drying equipment to speed up the drying process. Our team will always advise you on the estimated drying time and provide tips to help you maintain the cleanliness and freshness of your carpets and upholstery.
  • How long before I can walk on the carpet after a professional clean?
    With FibreRinse's professional cleaning service, your carpets will be ready to walk on immediately after the cleaning process is complete. We use industry-standard equipment and techniques that ensure your carpets dry quickly and efficiently, leaving them looking and feeling fresh and clean. However, we do recommend wearing clean socks or slippers for a few hours after the cleaning process to avoid any potential slips or falls on damp carpet fibres.
  • What cleaning methods do you use or offer?
    At Fibre Rinse, we use a variety of cleaning methods depending on the type of carpet and the level of soiling. Our most common method is hot water extraction, also known as steam cleaning, which involves injecting hot water and cleaning solution into the carpet fibres and then extracting the dislodged dirt and moisture with a powerful extraction machine. This method is effective for removing deep-seated dirt, stains, odours and allergens. We also offer low-moisture cleaning, which uses less water and a specialized cleaning solution to loosen and remove soiling. This method is ideal for carpets that cannot tolerate excess moisture, such as those made of natural fibres or prone to shrinkage from excess moisture. For carpets that require an even gentler approach, we offer dry cleaning with a dry cleaning compound that is brushed into the carpet and then vacuumed up, leaving the carpet clean and dry. No matter which method we use, we always start with a thorough inspection of the carpet and a discussion with the customer to ensure we use the method that is best suited to their needs.
  • Do you use safe products or techniques for your cleaning services?
    Yes, at FibreRinse, we use only non-toxic products for all our cleaning services. Our cleaning solutions are eco-friendly, detergent-free, safe for pets and children, and do not leave any harmful residues behind. We believe in providing our clients with the best quality of service while also ensuring their safety and well-being. We understand that many people are concerned about the chemicals used in cleaning products, which is why we have made it our priority to use only non-toxic and biodegradable products. You can trust us to provide you with a clean and healthy home or office environment without compromising your health or the environment.
  • Can you remove all stains from both carpets and upholstery?
    At Fibre Rinse, we strive to provide the best possible cleaning services for all types of carpets and upholstery. While we have a high success rate in removing stains, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that we can remove all stains. Our team of experienced professionals uses industry-leading cleaning techniques and equipment to remove even the toughest of stains. However, some factors such as the type of stain, age of the stain, and fabric type can sometime make it difficult to completely remove the stain. We will always do our best to remove the stains and achieve the best results possible.
  • Can you help with allergen removal?
    Yes, our cleaning can effectively remove allergens from your home or office. Dust mites, pet dander, pollen, and other allergy triggers can accumulate in carpets and upholstery, causing respiratory problems, skin irritation, and other allergic reactions. FibreRinse uses state-of-the-art equipment and eco-friendly cleaning solutions to deep clean carpets and upholstery, removing dirt, dust, and allergens.
  • Can you remove pet stains and odours?
    Yes, Fibre Rinse offers specialized pet stain and odour removal services. We use specialized cleaning solutions and equipment to effectively remove pet stains and eliminate odours from your carpets and upholstery. We understand that pet stains and odours can be stubborn and difficult to remove, but we have the expertise and experience to ensure that your carpets and upholstery are thoroughly cleaned and refreshed.
  • Is it safe to have my delicate upholstery professionally cleaned?

  • Are there any specific care instructions after carpet and upholstery cleaning?
    Yes, there are a few things you should keep in mind to help aid the drying process and maintain the cleanliness and longevity of your carpets and upholstery after our professional cleaning. Short-term care right after the cleaning: 1. Leave as many windows open as possible: Ventilating your home or office is essential and will greatly reduce the drying time. 2. Allow ample drying time: It is important to let your carpets and upholstery dry as much as possible before using them again. 3. Wait at least 24 hours before placing any stained wood or furniture with metal legs back on the carpets. Long-term care: 1. Vacuum regularly: Regular vacuuming helps to remove surface dirt and debris that can accumulate on carpets and upholstery and cause damage to the carpet fibres and upholstery fabrics. This can also help to prevent the need for deep cleaning too frequently. 2. Steer clear of off-the-shelf carpet and upholstery cleaning products, as they have the potential to set stains permanently and, in certain instances, may lead to irreversible damage. 3. Address any spills or stains immediately: Accidents happen, and spills and stains are inevitable. However, it is important to address them as soon as possible to prevent them from setting in and becoming more difficult or impossible to remove. BLOT! (DO NOT RUB!) the affected area with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much moisture as possible. If you are ever unsure what to do next, feel free to CONTACT US for professional advice. By following these simple care instructions, you can help maintain the cleanliness and appearance of your carpets and upholstery for longer.
