Professional carpet steam cleaning in Melbourne workplaces: Why it should be done regularly
According to self-reported data in the 2022 Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) National Health Survey (NHS), approximately 34% of Australians suffer from a chronic respiratory condition, with 11% of people estimated to be living with asthma. These stats tell us that in any workplace, it’s likely a number of staff, as well as visiting clients, will suffer from respiratory illness, and will be extra susceptible to air-borne dust and allergens.
So what can we do about making workplaces more hospitable for those with sensitive respiratory systems?
For a start, we can keep our workspaces as dust-free as possible, with routine wiping down of surfaces and vacuuming. However, this will not be sufficient if you have carpeted areas in your workspace. This is why carpet steam cleaning services are essential in workplaces.
Benefits of professional office cleaning services in Melbourne
Carpet mutes noise, reduces slips, and provides cosy comfort in work spaces, so is commonly used in offices, education and aged care settings. However if we’re honest, carpet is a trap for particles like dust, dirt, microfibres, and more. These minute particles become trapped deep inside a carpet’s fibres, and vacuuming alone can’t remove them all.
Given carpeted spaces aren’t going anywhere in a hurry, workplaces need a solution for keeping their carpets clean and safe for those using the space. This is where carpet steam cleaning services are essential.
Whether it’s in a childcare centre, gym, office or aged-care home, a carpet will likely experience a good deal of daily foot traffic. With this, comes a variety of bacteria, dust, dirt and allergens. To make sure your space is healthy, carpet steam cleaning should be done routinely. The benefits include:
- Ability to extract deeply ingrained dirt
The hot water used in carpet steam cleaning deeply penetrates the carpet, allowing for grime to be extracted. This includes trapped dust, bacteria, dirt and allergens. This deep extraction is especially vital in spaces where people spend time on the floor, such as childcare, gyms and education sessions. - Fast drying and reduced mould risk
A concern many workplaces have when considering carpet steam cleaning is that the carpet won’t be able to be used for some time afterwards. However, with modern professional carpet steam cleaning equipment, much of the moisture that enters the carpet to clean it is extracted at the end. This means carpets are able to dry out quickly (6-12 hours), and there’s little downtime. So provided there’s sufficient ventilation, a carpet cleaned in the afternoon should be ready for use the following morning. Another benefit of quick drying is that the opportunity for mould growth in the carpet is minimised. - Eco-friendly option without the chemical nasties
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) can be released into the air with the use of carpet shampoos, which can pose a risk to those who work near, or sit on, the carpet. With professional carpet steam cleaning, hot water and heat sanitise carpets rather than shampoos, meaning chemicals aren’t necessarily required. However, in some cases, biodegradable cleaning chemicals can be used as part of carpet steam cleaning.
For your high-traffic carpeted areas, choose professional carpet steam cleaning with Eco-Green. You will receive superior cleanliness and a healthy indoor environment, with minimal downtime.

FAQs
It depends on the setting and the kind of use the carpet received. Here’s a general guide:
- 3-6 months: Childcare centres, restaurants, gyms
- 6-12 months: Retail spaces, hospitals and accommodation providers
- 18-36 months: commercial offices and other places with very minimal foot traffic
Of course, in situations where there has been increased foot traffic or spills, your space may need more prompt cleaning. Contact Eco-Green for assistance with dealing with carpet stains.
Note that, despite these being general intervals, you can have carpets steam cleaned more often than this, if you want to minimise dust and allergens in your carpets.
Yes. Due to the heat used in carpet steam cleaning, we are able to dissolve oil and grime, as well as destroy bacteria. In addition, dust and dirt is removed.
Shampooing washes the carpet, but it can’t be guaranteed that the nasty particles are extracted. In addition, shampoos for carpets often contain a range of unknown chemicals that release VOCs into the air. This is not good news for those with respiratory conditions. Therefore we at Eco-Green believe steam cleaning is the best way to clean carpets.
Our standard process includes the use of a biodegradable carpet cleaning solution, which is a much safer and healthier option for the environment and people. We can, however, use a no-chemical option if that is what you would prefer. We always discuss our process, and the advantages and disadvantages with our clients.
We will require access to a water tap at your site for fresh water, and require a sink or drain for dirty water disposal. We’ll check with you which is the best location for this.
Between 2-3 hours. It can depend on the ventilation and air temperature, with less ventilation increasing drying time. The time of year can also impact drying time (faster in summer and slower in winter).
Yes. Whether your carpet is wool or synthetic, steam cleaning won’t damage it.
It may take a wool carpet longer to dry than a synthetic carpet. So for a wool carpet, a little more time should be allowed before your space is available to foot traffic, and ample ventilation is essential.
Yes, we can steam clean your rugs as well as your carpets.
We will require that the areas where we are steam cleaning be vacated before we commence. Also, steam cleaning equipment can make a bit of noise, so it’s not an ideal environment to be working in (our staff members use ear protection).
