Carpets are the focal point of many disputes between tenants and landlords because they are the most visible part of any room. A steam cleaner is the best way to clean a dirty carpet and get your deposit back if you’re a tenant. If you’re landlord, it makes sense to get the property carpets as clean and inviting as possible to help re-let the property.
Carpets naturally wear over time. If you rent a property with a new carpet, don’t expect it will stay in perfect condition even after a year. The property will show more wear the longer the tenant has lived there, but it can still be cleaned.
You can hire a cleaning machine or leave it to the professionals. Bet you can can guess which option we can help you with!

FAQ

Tenants can clean the property themselves if they like. However it’s generally recommended to hire professional cleaners. This will avoid arguments over the deposit later.
Landlords: Can I use the tenant’s deposit for cleaning services?
If the carpet is in poor condition, a landlord has the legal right to withhold your security deposit to cover carpet cleaning. If the landlord notices excessive wear and tear on carpets, they can deduct money to pay for carpet cleaning.
Do I need to move furniture ?
This is not necessary, but it may be useful if you have a lot of furniture. The tenancy cleaners must vacuum under sofas, cabinets, etc. in order to get a refund of your deposit.
