Frequently Asked Questions
Carpet Cleaning
How long do carpets take to dry with carpet cleaning?
What dictates this is the composition and type of clean. Synthetic carpets will dry faster as they are not nearly as absorbent as natural carpets. With a dry clean not alot of moisture is being injected into your carpet so it should dry within an hour or two. With a steam clean alot more moisture penetrates deeper down. This means a drying time of between 6 to 8 hours if done professionally with good quality equipment.
How long does it take to have my carpets cleaned?
A professional dry carpet clean of three rooms should never take less than an hour. A professional steam clean of 3 carpets should never take less than one and a half hours. This is because they should always include a vacuum, stain treatment, deodorise and grooming as well!
Is Dry or Steam Cleaning Best?
As someone who does both steam and dry cleaning we are not biased. Dry cleaning is alot more surface orientated relying more on detergents and agitation to do the work. It is quicker, less sophisticated and ideal if you need to walk on the carpet immediately. Steam Cleaning is more thorough. It carries the full extraction factor which although it takes longer to dry it’s because it’s cleaning deeper into your carpet pile. Removing stains and using stain treatments is not a risk with steam cleaning as they are going to be extracted after. Sadly people that do only dry cleaning will tell you it’s better but Steam Cleaning is much more effective as it’s capable of removing up to 90% of dust and allergens.
What time will you arrive at our property?
At Unify Cleaning Services we experience a high volume of customers, each job is unique which can sometimes alter the time required. We give a 1 hour to 2 hour window and also send a text 30mins before arriving as part of our service that our customers appreciate.
What method of carpet cleaning do you use?
We use the Steam Cleaning/hot-water extraction method when carpet cleaning. This is proven to be the most effective method which the Worlds largest carpet manufacturer (Shaw Industries) recommends. We have invested in the most advanced and most powerful truck mount system to ensure you are getting the best.
How often should I vacuum my carpets?
You should vacuum at least once a week to pick up loose dirt and soil.
Do you move furniture?
If it is a small light item we will help shift it onto the bed or aside. Any thing that is heavy or valuable we will not move as we are not professional removalists and do not have the proper equipment or experience to move things without the risks of damaging your goods.

When is payment required?
For carpet cleaning jobs payment is required after the job has been completed whilst the technician is on site. For bond cleaning full payment must be made before commencement of the job.
What if I need to cancel?
If you cancel 72 hours prior to you clean there is no cost. If you cancel 48 hours prior to your clean a $149 call out fee will apply. When we book your service, we do not take other bookings.
Mattress Cleaning
How often should I have my mattress cleaned professionally?
This is a choice that you can make, based on your personal circumstances and lifestyle. As a general rule, we recommend that you resort to a professional mattress cleaning assistance at least a couple of times a year, preferably during a season change.
I vacuum and air my mattress regularly, so why should I book your service?
Well, DIY cleaning is not as effective as professional mattress steam cleaning of your bed piece when it comes to the successful removal of stains and the elimination of allergens, such as dust mites, mould and pollen.
Do you clean memory foam mattresses?
Yes. This type of mattress is best cleaned by using a low-moisture cleaning method, such as HWE (hot water extraction), which is our specialty.
Can I book an upholstery cleaning service at the same time?
Of course. Since both types of services can be executed by employing the same cleaning method, the technician will be able to clean your soft furnishings and bed piece in one swift appointment.
