Why Steam Cleaning is Essential

If you want a truly hygienic home, steam cleaning in Dublin is one of the most powerful solutions available. Steam cleaning penetrates deep into carpets and soft furnishings, eliminating germs, bacteria, allergens, mould and mildew at their source. The high-temperature vapour also destroys dust mites hidden within carpets, rugs, upholstery and mattresses — making it ideal for allergy sufferers and families with children or pets.

Unlike surface cleaning, steam cleaning delivers a deep, long-lasting clean without relying on harsh chemicals. This makes it a safer, eco-friendly and cost-effective choice for maintaining a fresh and healthy living environment. Our highly trained technicians use professional-grade equipment to achieve outstanding results quickly and with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Steam cleaning is especially effective for fabric sofas and upholstered furniture. Using the natural power of steam, we lift embedded dirt, remove unpleasant odours and restore the appearance of your furniture while eliminating residue left behind by conventional cleaning products. The result is cleaner, brighter furnishings and noticeably fresher indoor air.

If you are searching for a trusted steam cleaning service in Dublin, Cleaning Team is your reliable local choice. We are known for our friendly, professional approach and our attention to detail on every job. Our experienced cleaners can also recommend protective treatments to help extend the life of your carpets and upholstery.
So why struggle with stubborn stains and hidden bacteria? Sit back, relax and let Cleaning Team handle your steam cleaning in Dublin — delivering a deeper clean, healthier home and results you can see and feel.

Typical drying time: 4-6 hours

Factors that affect drying time:

  • Carpet type – Synthetic carpets dry faster than wool
  • Carpet thickness – Thicker pile takes longer
  • Room ventilation – Good airflow speeds drying
  • Humidity – Drier days = faster drying
  • Temperature – Warmer rooms dry faster
  • Soil level – Heavily soiled carpets require more water, longer drying

Tips to speed up drying:

  • Open windows for ventilation (weather permitting)
  • Use fans to circulate air
  • Turn on central heating (in winter)
  • Use dehumidifier if you have one
  • Avoid walking on carpets until fully dry

Our fast-drying technique:

  • We use high-power extraction to remove maximum water
  • Professional equipment extracts 95%+ of moisture
  • Leaves carpets just damp, not soaking
  • Much faster than rental machines or older methods

Plan ahead: For end of tenancy or move-in scenarios, we recommend scheduling carpet cleaning at least 6-8 hours before you need to use the space.

We use professional hot water extraction (steam cleaning), which is the most effective method for deep cleaning carpets:

Step 1: Pre-vacuum

  • Remove loose dirt, dust, and debris
  • Lifts carpet pile for better cleaning
  • Prevents soil from turning to mud during steam cleaning

Step 2: Pre-inspection and pre-treatment

  • Identify stains and high-traffic areas
  • Apply specialized pre-treatment solutions
  • Target stubborn stains (wine, coffee, pet stains, etc.)
  • Dwell time allows products to break down stains

Step 3: Hot water extraction (steam cleaning)

  • Inject hot water and cleaning solution deep into carpet fibers
  • High-pressure extraction removes dirt, allergens, and bacteria
  • Rinse with clean water to remove all cleaning residue
  • Extract 95%+ of moisture for fast drying

Step 4: Post-cleaning grooming

  • Groom carpet pile to lift fibers
  • Promotes faster drying
  • Restores carpet appearance

Step 5: Optional fiber protection

  • Apply Scotchgard or similar protection
  • Helps repel future stains
  • Extends carpet life
  • Makes maintenance easier

Why hot water extraction?

  • Recommended by carpet manufacturers
  • Most effective for deep cleaning
  • Removes allergens and bacteria (not just surface dirt)
  • Safe for all carpet types
  • Eco-friendly solutions available

We can remove or significantly reduce most carpet stains, but results depend on several factors:

Stains we regularly remove successfully:

  • Coffee and tea
  • Red wine
  • Mud and dirt
  • Food and drink spills
  • Pet stains (urine, feces, vomit)
  • Grease and oil (lighter stains)
  • Ink (water-based)
  • Blood (fresh or treated quickly)

Factors that affect stain removal:

  • Age of stain – Fresh stains are easier to remove than old, set stains
  • Type of stain – Some substances (like bleach or permanent dyes) cause permanent damage
  • Previous treatment – Using wrong products can “set” stains
  • Carpet type – Some fibers are more stain-resistant than others
  • How long it’s been there – Heat, time, and foot traffic can make stains permanent

Difficult or permanent stains:

  • Bleach (removes carpet color permanently)
  • Permanent marker or dye
  • Old pet urine (if it has damaged carpet backing)
  • Rust
  • Tar
  • Very old, set stains (months or years old)

Our approach:

  1. Pre-inspection identifies all stains
  2. We’ll advise which stains we can likely remove
  3. Apply specialized stain treatments
  4. Use hot water extraction to flush out stains
  5. Repeat treatment if needed
  6. Honest assessment – if a stain is permanent, we’ll tell you

No guarantees on stain removal: While we have excellent results, we cannot guarantee 100% stain removal. Some stains are permanent or can only be lightened, not fully removed.
