Professional Carpet Cleaning Melbourne South-East — Steam Clean, Stain & Odour Removal
Vacuuming lifts the surface — professional hot water extraction removes what’s compacted deep inside the fibre. Embedded dirt, allergens, pet odours and stubborn stains that have built up since the last professional clean, flushed out in a single visit. Family-run, 30+ years across Melbourne’s south-east.
Professional Carpet Steam Cleaning — Melbourne South-East
Xtreme Carpet & Tile Cleaning has delivered professional carpet steam cleaning across Melbourne’s south-east corridor for over 30 years. Owner-operator Johnny attends every job personally — the same person who answers the phone, quotes the job and does the work. No subcontractors. That accountability shows in the results, and in 337+ five-star reviews from customers who come back.
Every carpet type gets the method it actually needs. Wool gets gentler temperatures and wool-safe chemistry. Nylon and polyester get higher-temperature extraction for a deeper result. Heavily soiled traffic lanes and pet areas get targeted pre-treatment before extraction begins — so the result is genuinely clean at a fibre level, not just surface-refreshed.
Trusted by Harcourts, Ray White, OBrien, Barry Plant and other south-east agencies for end of lease and bond-clean standard results. The same standard goes into every residential job.

Our Carpet Cleaning Process — 4 Steps, Every Job
The same thorough process on every job. No shortcuts.
Step 01
Pre-Inspection & Assessment
We assess carpet fibre type (wool, nylon, polyester, Berber), soiling level and problem areas — traffic lanes, stains, pet urine zones. The cleaning approach is tailored to your carpet. We explain what’s achievable before we start.
Step 02
Pre-Treatment & Stain Work
Targeted pre-treatment applied to heavily soiled areas, traffic lanes and pet urine zones. Enzyme-based solutions break down uric acid at the source. Dwell time is observed — the chemistry needs time to work before extraction begins.
Step 03
Hot Water Extraction
Professional hot water extraction flushes dissolved dirt, allergens and residues from deep within the fibre and extracts everything simultaneously. Pressure and temperature calibrated per carpet type. Walk-on dry in 4–8 hours.
Step 04 — Optional
Restoration Clean — Rotovac 360
For heavily soiled carpets or neglected rental properties, the Rotovac 360 rotary system delivers deeper multi-directional agitation. Recommended only where it will make a meaningful difference — assessed and discussed during Step 1.
Stains & Conditions We Handle
30+ years on Melbourne south-east carpet means we’ve handled every stain and condition imaginable:
- Pet urine & odour — enzyme pre-treatment neutralises odour at source, not masks it
- Red wine, coffee & food stains — pre-treatment and hot extraction delivers the best possible result
- Traffic lane soiling — compacted corridor and entry dirt responds well to targeted pre-treatment
- Grease & oil marks — solvent pre-treatment breaks down kitchen and mechanical oil staining
- End of lease & bond cleans — agent-standard results, all rooms covered
Carpet Types We Clean
Different fibres need different treatment. We adjust chemistry and temperature for each:
- Wool carpet — gentler temperatures and wool-safe chemistry to prevent shrinkage
- Nylon & polyester — higher-temperature extraction for deeper clean
- Loop pile (Berber) — adjusted pressure to prevent pile distortion
- Cut pile & plush — standard extraction, post-clean raking to restore pile direction
- Microfibre & frieze — controlled moisture to prevent over-wetting
- Commercial carpet tiles — systematic section-by-section approach

Johnny from Xtreme carpet cleaning was amazing! I sent off a quote for 4 bedrooms and a living space, he was fast with the response and was very helpful with the process. He asked questions regarding the space/carpet/pets that no other carpet cleaning place had asked when I requested a quote. I felt much more comfortable going through him because of this and have absolutely no regrets. He was punctual, friendly, did an amazing job and in a great time frame. I highly recommend and will use Johnny for any future carpet/tile needs.
BriannaWe used Xtreme to clean our couches & chairs and carpets and they look great, we are very happy with the results. Johnny turned up on time and was very respectful of the fact we had indoor cats and a dog. Will be getting Johnny back for our next clean!!
Kirsten BakCarpet Cleaning — Frequently Asked Questions
What is hot water extraction carpet cleaning?
Hot water extraction — often called steam cleaning — injects a pressurised cleaning solution deep into carpet fibres, dissolving bonded dirt, allergens and bacteria, then extracts everything immediately. It reaches contamination that vacuuming simply cannot get to, and is the method recommended by most carpet manufacturers for periodic deep cleaning.
How long does professional carpet cleaning take?
Most residential jobs take 1–3 hours. A 3-bedroom home is typically 1.5–2 hours. We give you a realistic time estimate when confirming your booking.
How long do carpets take to dry?
Typically 4–8 hours under normal indoor conditions. Opening windows and running fans speeds this significantly. We minimise moisture during extraction to keep drying times practical for your day.
Can you remove pet urine stains and odour?
Yes. Enzyme pre-treatment neutralises uric acid crystals — the biological source of pet odour — before hot water extraction removes the contamination. Most pet odour cases respond very well. We assess and advise on expected results before starting.
Do you do end of lease carpet cleaning?
Yes — end of lease is one of our most common services. We clean to real estate agent standard and are trusted by Harcourts, Ray White, OBrien, Barry Plant and others across the south-east corridor. Call 0412 503 321 for fast bookings.
How often should carpets be professionally cleaned?
Most homes benefit from professional cleaning every 12–18 months. Homes with pets, young children or high foot traffic may benefit from every 6–12 months. Regular professional cleaning also extends the lifespan of the carpet.
Can carpet and tile cleaning be combined in one visit?
Yes — this is our most common booking. We bring full professional equipment so carpet and tile can both be completed in a single visit. Add upholstery and have everything done at once.
