About Canberra City
The city centre has changed a lot in the last decade. Where Civic was once mostly offices and shops around the Canberra Centre, City Walk and Garema Place, it now has thousands of people living in apartment towers along Northbourne Avenue, London Circuit and out towards Constitution Avenue.
Apartment carpet works hard. It's usually a light, cut-pile carpet laid wall to wall, the balcony door gets used all year, and there's nowhere to hang a soaked rug to dry. That's where a low-moisture clean makes sense: the carpet is dry enough to walk on the same afternoon, not still damp when you get home from work.

What Canberra City homes ask us for
Apartment buildings and strata rules
Tell us your building, the level and where we can park when you call. Many city buildings want trades booked through the building manager or need a loading dock or visitor bay, so we'll plan the visit around that.
End-of-lease cleans
Plenty of city apartments are rentals, and the carpet clean is often the last job before an inspection. Book a few days ahead of your handover and let us know about any marks the agent has already pointed out.
Offices and shopfronts
Fast drying means less downtime for city offices and retail spaces. See our commercial cleaning page, or call to talk through your premises.

Why Canberra City homes choose Chem-Dry
The five things Chem-Dry is known for, in plain language.
Healthier Deeper Clean
Cleaner through the pile, not just on top
Hot Carbonating Extraction lifts dirt, dust and allergens out of the carpet fibre instead of pushing them around, and leaves no soapy residue to attract new dirt.
Fast Drying Times
Dry in hours, not days
Chem-Dry uses about 80% less water than typical steam cleaning, so carpets typically dry in 1–4 hours, not 1–2 days. Handy in a cold Canberra winter, when houses are shut up with the heating on.
Eco Certifications
Certified main cleaner
Chem-Dry's main cleaner, The Natural®, has no soaps, detergents or fragrances and carries U.S. EPA Safer Choice and ECOLOGO certifications.
40 Years of Trust
Cleaning Australian homes since 1986
Chem-Dry has operated in Australia since 1986. Chem-Dry Pure Clean brings that tested system to Canberra, run locally by Shaun.
P.U.R.T.® – Pets
Pet urine treated at the source
P.U.R.T.® (Pet Urine Removal Treatment) breaks down the urine crystals that make a smell come back on warm days, instead of covering it up.

Questions from Canberra City
Can you clean my apartment carpet if I'm on a high floor?
Usually, yes. Let us know the building, the floor and the parking situation when you call 1300 314 038, and check whether your building needs trades booked in advance.
How long will my apartment carpet take to dry?
Carpets typically dry in 1–4 hours. Apartments with good airflow and the heating or air conditioning on tend to sit at the quicker end of that range.
Do you clean offices in the city?
Yes. Chem-Dry Pure Clean cleans offices, retail and hospitality spaces. Call to talk about the size of the space and when it can be closed off.
Do you clean lounges and mattresses as well as carpet?
Yes. Upholstery and mattress cleaning can be done in the same visit, which is handy before a lease ends.
