BASIC STEAM CLEAN

All carpets require regular maintenance. The Australian standard recommends carpet cleaning at least once a year.

AC&TC's Basic Steam Clean includes:

  • Pre inspection upon arrival & confirmation of price estimate made on the phone.
  • Move furniture, where possible, and replace after cleaning
  • Hot water pre-spray with cleaning agent
  • Hot water extraction of suspended soils and basic stain removal
  • Neutralising of chemical pre-spray
  • Grooming of carpet, where appropriate, to improve the look and separate yarns
  • Optional protection (at additional cost to client)
  • Optional supplementary drying with air movers or pads(at additional cost to client)

Please Note: A thorough vacuuming is essential before steam cleaning to ensure the best result possible. Vacuuming should preferably be carried out with the use of a vacuum fitted with an agitation brush or power head. This service is not included in AC&TC's Basic Clean.

AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS STEAM CLEAN

The use of AC&TC's hospital grade vacuum cleaner before steam cleaning will upgrade the above service to comply with ASNZ3733.

FULL RESTORATION STEAM CLEAN

This service uses rotary pad/brush agitation as part of the cleaning process.

  • Agitation separates and lifts yarns allowing the cleaning agent to penetrate deeply into the face fibres significantly aiding the cleaning process.
  • All heavily soiled, matted or flattened carpets will benefit greatly from a full restoration clean.
  • WOOL carpets will benefit most from this service. Just like one's own hair wool does not respond well to harsh detergents.
  • The use of gentle "WoolSafe" organisation approved detergents followed by agitation before extraction is the best way to clean heavily soiled natural fibres.

AC&TC's Full Restoration Steam Clean includes:

  • Pre inspection upon arrival & confirmation of price estimate made over the phone
  • Vacuum clean using a hospital grade machine (i.e., hospital grade HEPA filter & brush head)
  • Move furniture, where possible, and replace after cleaning.
  • Hot water pre-spray with cleaning agent
  • Agitation of traffic areas to lift fibres and suspend soils
  • Hot water extraction of suspended soils and basic stain removal
  • Neutralising of chemical pre-spray if appropriate.
  • Grooming of carpet, where appropriate, to improve its look and separate yarns.
  • Optional protection (at additional cost to client)
  • Optional supplementary drying with air movers (at additional cost to client).

CARPET PROTECTION

CARPET PROTECTION applied at the mill gradually wears away over time (approx. 2-3 years) leaving carpets vulnerable to soiling and staining.

Complete re-application or "top up" of traffic areas directly after cleaning will:

  • Restore the stain blocking performance of factory applied protection.
  • Protect your carpets against food and liquid spills.
  • Help repel general soiling, dust mites and other allergens making vacuuming considerably more effective.
  • Help contribute to a healthier indoor environment.

CARPET ENCAPSULATION CLEANING

CARPET ENCAPSULATION CLEANING for those "in between" times or when fast drying is a priority. Encapsulation works by surrounding or "encapsulating" soil particles present amongst the fibres holding them in suspension and then drying to a crystal. The dirt filled crystals are then extracted by vacuuming.

  • Though not designed as a replacement for hot water extraction, this system offers a suitable alternative in situations where noise and/or drying time may be an issue.
  • It is well suited to commercial spaces and high traffic areas.
  • It is effective when used as a maintenance clean between regular steam cleaning.
  • As with steam cleaning, a thorough vacuuming before cleaning is essential to remove as many soils as possible. Vacuuming should preferably be carried out with the use of a vacuum fitted with an agitation brush or power head.

UPHOLSTERY CLEANING AND PROTECTION

Whether it be Dad's favorite old armchair or the finest velvet dining chairs, attention to detail and leading brand cleaning materials ensure the softest and best clean possible.A purpose built mini hot water extraction unit operated by AC&TC's fully qualified Upholstery & Fabric Cleaning Technician is used to ensure the gentlest treatment of your fabrics.

  • Only premium quality fine fabric detergents and rinses are used when cleaning upholstery and other soft furnishings such as mattresses and cushions.
  • Specialist products used by AC&TC ensure the best possible result on "problem" fibres such as "bleeders" and Haitian cotton. If in doubt testing is always carried out before treatment to ensure the appropriate cleaning techniques are used.
  • As with carpets, AC&TC's qualified technician is able to apply protection to upholstery and Soft furnishings to guard against general soiling, food stains and drink spills.

SPECIALIST STAIN REMOVAL

Notoriously stubborn stains such as acid food dyes in some cordials, or tannins in red wine and coffee, amongst others, require specialist attention. AC&TC's specialist technician has been trained in the use of specific chemicals in the treatment of stains on carpets, rugs, upholstery and other soft furnishings. We place a priority on the conservative and safe use of chemicals.

  • Normal cleaning, even with the best chemicals and rinses, will not remove some stains.
  • Using stronger chemicals in the hope of removing such stains runs the risk of damaging the fibres. The improper use of harsh chemicals can bleach, damage or indeed destroy fibres
  • Our aim is to preserve and maintain client's assets. Treatments will only be carried out with the permission and full understanding of the owner or their agents.
  • Always call a professional first! Call Ian on 0448 400068.

SPECIALIST COLOUR REPAIR AND RESTORATION

If the patching or replacement of carpet and upholstery is impractical, uneconomic or impossible, colour repair may be your only option. Stains and spots up to dinner plate size can be attempted using this service.

  • Permanent stains (darker colour) and spots (lighter colour or bleached) may be treated with colour matching and restoration techniques only on wool, nylon or combination wool/nylon carpets and fabrics.
  • The neutralising of any chemicals present in the fibres followed by a thorough cleaning of the affected area must be carried out before colour repair is attempted. This should be done in any case to eliminate the risk of further damage to the carpet.
  • Colour repair and restoration is a highly skilled and labour intensive service and can become expensive. However most colour repairs are successful and are usually a cheaper solution than replacement.

TILE AND GROUT CLEANING

Porcelain, Ceramic, Quarry tiles, grout and concrete are no problem for our high heat and pressure cleaning system.

  • For domestic and industrial situations.
  • Using a commercial-size truck mounted Hot Water Extraction Unit
  • Soap scum or greasy restaurant tiles are easily cleaned when utilising the quality chemicals and equipment used by AC&TC.
  • Wastewater is sucked away for safe disposal to our tank (or into the sewer) leaving grout and tiles as clean and dry as possible.

WATER DAMAGE RESTORATION

Whether it be broken plumbing or mother nature, commercial or domestic we at AC&TC are in a position to help with the cleanup after flooding has occurred.

  • From moving furniture and "making safe" to drying and relaying AC&TC's fully qualified Water Damage Restoration Technician is able to manage the situation at hand.
  • As there is much more to water damage restoration than simply sucking out water and leaving the carpet to dry it pays to use a professionally qualified technician such as Ian to oversee the restoration of your assets affected by water.
