All our technicians are IICRC-certified to international cleaning and restoration standards. Our team is also fully insured and police-checked. **Q: Do you offer same-day or emergency cleaning?** A: We offer emergency flood and water damage restoration 24 hours a day, 7 days a week on 0448 888 165. For other services, we can often accommodate short-notice bookings during business hours. **Q: What areas of Melbourne do you service?** A: We cover the entire Melbourne metropolitan area including all suburbs. Our team is based in Hallam, VIC. **Q: How do I get a quote?** A: Contact us by phone on 1300 424 114, through our online quote form at totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/contact-us/, or by email. ### Carpet Steam Cleaning **Q: How long does carpet steam cleaning take?** A: A standard three-bedroom home typically takes two to three hours. Drying time is usually two to four hours. **Q: Is carpet steam cleaning safe for children and pets?** A: We use professional-grade cleaning solutions. We recommend keeping children and pets off freshly cleaned carpet until it has fully dried. **Q: Can you remove pet stains and odours completely?** A: In most cases, yes, particularly when stains are treated promptly. Older or deeply set stains may require additional pet odour control treatment. ### End of Lease Cleaning **Q: Does a professional end of lease clean help with getting my bond back?** A: A professional end of lease clean significantly increases your chances of a full bond return by meeting the standard that property managers and landlords expect. **Q: How long does an end of lease clean take?** A: A one-bedroom apartment typically takes three to four hours, while a three-bedroom house may take a full day. **Q: What is the difference between end of lease cleaning and regular cleaning?** A: End of lease cleaning is far more detailed than a standard house clean. It covers every surface a property manager will inspect, including inside cupboards, oven interiors, window tracks, and skirting boards. ### Duct Cleaning **Q: How long does a duct cleaning take?** A: Most residential duct cleaning jobs take 2-4 hours, depending on the size of your HVAC system. **Q: How often should air ducts be cleaned?** A: Residential air ducts typically require cleaning every 2-5 years, depending on your home and usage. **Q: Can duct cleaning improve my indoor air quality?** A: Yes. Air duct cleaning removes dust, allergens, mould spores, and other pollutants from your HVAC system. ### Tile and Grout Cleaning **Q: How often should I get my grout cleaned and sealed?** A: For most homes, we recommend professional grout cleaning and sealing every 12-18 months. **Q: Can you clean natural stone tiles safely?** A: Yes. Our team is trained in stone tile cleaning using methods that protect the stone while achieving a deep clean. **Q: What types of tiles do you clean and seal?** A: We clean and seal ceramic, porcelain, marble, travertine, limestone, and slate tiles. ### Office and Commercial Cleaning **Q: Can you clean outside of business hours?** A: Yes. We regularly clean offices before 7am, after 6pm, and on weekends. **Q: How often should an office be professionally cleaned?** A: For most Melbourne offices, a weekly clean is a practical minimum. High-traffic offices often benefit from two or three cleans per week. **Q: Do you provide strata and body corporate cleaning?** A: Yes. We clean common areas in multi-tenancy buildings including lobbies, lifts, stairwells, car parks, bin rooms, and mailbox areas. ### Flood Water Damage Restoration **Q: How quickly should flood water be removed?** A: Flood water should be removed as soon as possible. Waiting more than 24 hours can lead to mould growth and structural damage. **Q: Can water damaged carpets be restored?** A: Yes. Many carpets can be restored using professional carpet steam cleaning combined with water extraction and industrial drying equipment. **Q: Will my insurance cover professional flood restoration?** A: Most home and contents insurance policies in Victoria include cover for sudden and accidental water damage. ### Timber Floor Rejuvenation **Q: What is timber floor rejuvenation?** A: Timber floor rejuvenation restores shine and protection to existing timber floors without full sanding. It involves buffing and recoating. **Q: How often should timber floors be rejuvenated?** A: Most Melbourne homes benefit from professional timber floor rejuvenation every three to five years. **Q: What is the difference between sanding and rejuvenation?** A: Sanding removes the top layer of timber to eliminate deep scratches and damage, while rejuvenation restores the protective coating and shine without removing any timber material. ### Window Cleaning **Q: How often should I have my windows professionally cleaned?** A: For residential properties, most Melbourne homeowners benefit from a professional window clean every six to twelve months. **Q: Can you clean windows on a multi-storey home or building?** A: Yes. Our water-fed pole system allows us to safely clean exterior windows on double-storey and some three-storey properties without ladders. **Q: What is the maximum building height you service?** A: We clean windows on properties up to three storeys in height. ### Concrete Polishing **Q: How long does a concrete polishing job take?** A: A standard single-car garage floor typically takes one day. Larger commercial floors may take longer. **Q: How long does a sealed concrete floor last?** A: A professionally polished and sealed concrete floor can be maintained for one to three years before re-polishing. ### Builders Clean **Q: What is included in a builders clean?** A: Removal of construction dust, plaster and paint residue, detailing of skirting boards, windows, fixtures, and floors, bathroom and kitchen detailing, cleaning inside cupboards, and removal of fine dust from hard-to-reach areas. **Q: When should a builders clean be booked?** A: A builders clean is typically scheduled once all construction or renovation work is completed, before final inspection or handover. ### Deceased Estate Cleaning **Q: What does deceased estate cleaning include?** A: A full deep clean of the property, sanitisation of high-touch surfaces, bathrooms and kitchens, floor cleaning, and optional rubbish removal or estate clearance. **Q: Do you handle hoarding situations?** A: Yes. Our team has experience with hoarding and heavy accumulation clean-ups. We approach every situation with sensitivity. ### Wall and Ceiling Cleaning **Q: Can you clean walls without damaging the paint?** A: Yes. Our technicians assess the paint or coating type before selecting the appropriate cleaning method. **Q: Do you clean walls affected by cigarette smoke or fire damage?** A: Yes. Smoke, nicotine, and soot residue are among our most common wall cleaning requests. **Q: Can wall cleaning remove mould?** A: Yes. We treat mould-affected walls with professional-grade anti-fungal solutions. ### Vinyl Floor Polishing **Q: How long does vinyl floor polishing take?** A: Most vinyl floor polishing jobs take a minimum of half a day to a full day. **Q: How often should vinyl floors be polished?** A: Commercial floors every six to twelve months, residential every twelve to eighteen months. ### Upholstery and Couch Cleaning **Q: How long does upholstery cleaning take to dry?** A: Fabric upholstery cleaned by hot water extraction is typically dry within two to four hours. Leather pieces dry almost immediately after conditioning. **Q: How often should I have my couch professionally cleaned?** A: For most households, once every 12 to 18 months is recommended. ### Stain Treatment and Pet Odour Control **Q: Can old, dried pet stains be removed from carpet?** A: Old, dried pet urine stains are significantly harder to treat than fresh ones, but professional treatment can still achieve meaningful improvement. **Q: Do you treat stains on upholstery and rugs as well as carpets?** A: Yes. Our stain treatment service covers carpet, upholstery, rugs, and mattresses. ### Caravan Detailing **Q: What is the difference between caravan cleaning and caravan detailing?** A: Cleaning is a basic wash, while detailing is a comprehensive service including deep interior cleaning, exterior washing and polishing, and full sanitisation. **Q: How often should I get my caravan detailed?** A: Ideally twice a year, or before long trips and before resale. ## Optional - [About Us](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/about-us/): Family-owned business, 10+ years experience, IICRC certified, fully insured, police-checked staff. - [FAQ](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/faq/): Booking, pricing, insurance, quality assurance and cancellation policy. - [Gallery](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/gallery/): Before and after cleaning results. - [Contact Us](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/contact-us/): Phone 1300 424 114, based in Hallam VIC 3803. - [Privacy Policy](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/privacy-policy/) - [All Services](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/services/) - [Customer Reviews](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/reviews/): 4.0/5 from 44 Google reviews. - [Blog](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/blogs/) - [RSS Feed](https://totalcleaningmelbourne.com.au/rss.xml) ## Blog Total Cleaning Melbourne publishes 136 articles covering professional cleaning topics including carpet cleaning, end of lease cleaning, tile and grout care, upholstery cleaning, pressure washing, flood damage restoration, and commercial cleaning services across Melbourne.
