Residential carpet cleaning
Carpet cleaning planned around real Hong Kong homes, with their limited space, humid air, pets, and building rules.
Carpet cleaning in the Southern District
Family homes by the sea, from Pok Fu Lam to Repulse Bay and Stanley, where damp, wool rugs and pets shape how carpet should be cleaned.
Close to the sea, and that matters
Homes around Repulse Bay, Stanley, Deep Water Bay and Pok Fu Lam are often beautiful, but they get a lot of moisture, particularly with large windows and sea-facing balconies. This has a real effect on carpets.
Rugs laid on stone floors can trap moisture underneath. If a rug hasn't been moved in a while, lift a corner and check for damp, musty smells or insect damage.
Rooms closed up for long periods, such as guest rooms or homes left over the summer, are at particular risk in humid months. A dehumidifier makes a difference.
Drying time is longer than you may expect from a home with lots of open windows. Sea air on a damp day will not dry carpet, and may do the opposite. Air conditioning with windows closed generally works better. See our humidity guide.
Wool and hand-knotted rugs
Many larger family homes here have good Persian, oriental or wool rugs. These often need to be cleaned differently from fitted carpet, starting with dye testing. It is worth knowing what you have before anyone puts water on it. Read more about rug cleaning, or see how to care for wool and oriental rugs.
Families and pets
With children, dogs and garden or beach access comes sand, muddy paws and the odd accident. Sand is abrasive and sits at the bottom of the pile, so regular vacuuming matters more than you might expect. Pet urine in the humid air tends to keep smelling until it is treated properly. See stain and odour removal.
Access
Townhouses and low-rise blocks usually have parking, but may have gate codes, stairs or private roads. Tell us when you enquire. For larger homes it is often helpful to do several rooms and sofas on one visit, so mention everything you would like cleaned.

Common questions
Why does my rug smell musty in summer?
Most likely moisture is trapped under it, or the air in the room is too damp for too long. Try lifting it to air the floor and running a dehumidifier. If the smell stays, it probably needs cleaning, and any damp needs addressing.
Can you clean several rugs on one visit?
Yes, and that is often more convenient. Send photos of them all, and we will advise which can be cleaned on site and which may need another approach.
