Toorak Gardens · SA 5065
Tudor-revival homes, bungalows on tree-lined avenues and Fergusson Square in the middle — in-home rug cleaning in Toorak Gardens, where we will tell you plainly which rugs are ours to clean and which are not.
Grit, stains and pet smells — lifted out of the rug, not covered up.
Local service
Toorak Gardens was laid out in the 1910s and 20s as a garden suburb, and it still looks like one: wide avenues of mature street trees, deep front gardens, Fergusson Square in the centre and Portrush Road and Greenhill Road marking its edges. The houses are substantial and largely original on the outside: red-brick Tudor-revival homes, sandstone bungalows with return verandahs, a handful of interwar mansions and some careful modern rebuilds behind original facades.
Inside, these homes have the floors they were built with: polished jarrah or pine through the formal rooms, timber or slate in the entry, and often a sunroom or rear extension on tiles. Rugs are collected rather than bought, and a Toorak Gardens front room frequently holds a hand-knotted Persian or Turkish rug or a fine wool piece. We do not clean those, and we will tell you so and suggest a specialist rug laundry rather than risk a family heirloom. What we clean is the rest of a big house: the machine-made rug in the family room where the television is, the shag rug in a teenager’s room, the cotton flatweave in a nursery, the runner in a long passage and the indoor-outdoor rug by the pool.
Big houses with big gardens and children generate steady rug wear in the informal rooms while the formal rooms stay pristine. The family-room rug takes homework, snacks, the dog after a wet walk around Fergusson Square and the leaf litter that blows in every autumn. Runners in long passages develop the usual dark lane down the middle. Pool-side rugs hold chlorine and sunscreen. Hosting is part of life here, and the rug under the casual dining table has seen wine, gravy and the aftermath of birthday cake. Because the valuable rugs in the house are known to be delicate, the everyday ones often go uncleaned for years out of the same caution.
We start with an honest sort: which rugs in the house are machine-made and ours to clean, and which need a specialist. The ones we take on are cleaned in place with hot water extraction and low moisture, so the jarrah underneath stays dry, with a check under the edge before we leave. Oversized family-room rugs up to 12 m² are $219; anything larger is quoted by the square metre. Fringed runners can have the fringe and edges detailed at +$20. We tell you up front if a stain has dyed the fibre, and most rugs are dry in 2–4 hours, with shag closer to 4–6. Published prices, 7 days, 7am–7pm.

Toorak Gardens questions
Hand-knotted wool rugs need to be washed flat, rinsed and dried in a controlled space to avoid dye run, shrinkage and fringe damage, which is not something an in-home machine does well. We would rather refer you to a specialist rug laundry than take the job and risk it. Your machine-made rugs we will clean properly.
Yes, if it is a synthetic or indoor-outdoor rug. Chlorine and sunscreen residue lift well with extraction, and the rug dries quickly outside. Book it with the inside rugs for the same visit and each extra rug is 10% off, so the pool house rug is a small addition.
How it works
We read the label or test the fibre, check the backing, the stains and the smell, and tell you honestly what will lift — and whether it is a rug we should be cleaning at all.
Grit sits at the base of the pile and grinds the fibres every time you walk on it. A slow vacuum, both sides, gets it out before anything gets wet.
A pre-spray for the traffic lanes, enzyme for pet urine and organic stains, targeted treatment for wine, coffee and ink.
Heated solution in, dirt and water straight back out in the same pass. Low moisture, so the floor underneath stays dry.
Optional sanitiser or Scotchgard, then we groom the pile so it dries evenly. Most rugs are dry in 2–4 hours.
Questions
We price by the size of the rug. A runner or small rug up to 2 m² is $69, a medium rug (2–4 m²) $99, a large 2 × 3 m lounge rug $139, an extra large rug (6.5–9 m²) $179 and an oversized 3 × 4 m rug $219. Pet urine treatment, heavy stains, Scotchgard and sanitising are optional add-ons from $20–$40, all on our price table. The minimum booking is $89, every rug after the first in the same visit is 10% off, and the price is confirmed before we start.
In your home. We bring a hot water extraction machine to you and clean the rug where it lies, or on a tiled floor, verandah or driveway if you prefer. There is no pick-up, no wash plant and no week without your rug — it is back in use the same day.
Synthetic rugs (polypropylene, polyester, nylon, acrylic), machine-made wool-look rugs, cotton flatweaves, shag and high-pile synthetic rugs, kids’ rugs, hallway runners, outdoor rugs and rubber-backed mats. We do not clean wool, hand-knotted Persian or Oriental, silk, viscose, jute, sisal, sheepskin or cowhide rugs — those need a specialist rug laundry, and we will tell you so rather than risk your rug.
Most synthetic rugs are dry to the touch in 2–4 hours, thick shag and cotton closer to 4–6. We extract as much water as the machine will pull, groom the pile, and tell you how to speed it up — lift one edge onto a chair for airflow underneath, a fan across the surface, and no furniture back on it until it is fully dry. Book a morning slot and you are walking on it that evening.
A 2 × 3 m rug is $139 in Adelaide, cleaned in your home. 7 days a week.
