How often does carpet really need doing? One Mudgeeraba customer has worked out her own answer, and this was our third time at her place.

This customer has had us back three times now. She is 94, a regular of ours for years, and she was out at morning tea while we worked, so access was arranged through a neighbour who let us in. A small detail, but a fair picture of how a lot of repeat work actually runs. People who have used us before generally do not feel any need to be home supervising.
The visit was timed around her morning tea on purpose, so the work happened while she was out rather than with her sitting in the middle of it.
The carpet had accident marks from her cat, which she had recently lost. At 94, that cat was her family. Getting the carpet properly seen to mattered to her for reasons that had very little to do with carpet, and that is worth saying rather than skipping past.
Cat accidents get an antibacterial enzyme treatment. Enzyme treatment breaks down the organic matter causing both the mark and the smell, rather than covering it over and hoping. Where soiling is heavier or has been sitting a long time, an antimicrobial enzyme treatment is used instead. The one thing you do not do on a job like this is go at it with hot water or steam first, because heat can set an acidic stain and make it permanent. Treatment first, then truck mounted extraction to rinse it out.
A quick dry agent went through as part of the clean, followed by a truck mounted rinse. Truck mounted extraction pulls far more moisture back out of the carpet than a portable machine can manage, so it is already most of the way dry by the time we drive off. For someone coming home the same day, that is the difference between carpet you can use and carpet you have to tiptoe around.
The general guide is every 12 months for most homes, and every 6 to 9 months where there are pets, young children, or someone in the house with allergies. Heavy foot traffic shortens it again. A home with a cat having accidents sits at the shorter end, which is roughly where this customer has landed on her own, without anyone selling her a schedule.
Cost follows the job rather than a fixed menu. The number of rooms, how soiled the carpet is, and whether any area needs enzyme treatment rather than a standard clean all change it, as does how easily the van can get to the property. The minimum call-out fee stays the same everywhere: $145 plus GST across the whole Gold Coast to Tweed Heads area, Mudgeeraba included. We give you an estimate after seeing the carpet, not a number guessed over the phone.
