Carpeted stairs take a pounding. Every trip up and down grinds grit into the front edge of each step, and the middle of the treads soon looks darker than the sides. In Hamilton, stair cleaning comes up a lot in townhouses, renovated Queenslanders with a new upstairs, and two-storey homes where the stairs lead to carpeted bedrooms.
Stairs take longer than an open floor, so the crew we book uses a hand tool to clean each tread and riser one by one. They vacuum first, especially along the back corners of each step where dust collects, then pre-treat the busy centre and the front edges. Each step is then cleaned with hot water extraction and groomed so the pile dries evenly. Landings are cleaned as part of the stair job.
- Treads, risers and landings
- Straight, curved and split staircases

- Can be added to a whole-home carpet clean
When you call, tell us how many steps there are, roughly, and whether there is a landing halfway. We give you upfront pricing on the phone. Stairs are often booked together with the bedrooms and hallway upstairs, which saves a second visit. If the stairs have a runner over timber, tell us, since the crew will clean it in place and keep water off the boards.
Keep the stairs clear of shoes, bags and toys before the crew arrives, and take it slowly on damp steps after the clean, since they can be slippery. Using the stairs in socks rather than bare feet or shoes helps until they are dry. Call 07 3543 9428 to book stair carpet cleaning in Hamilton with a local crew.
