Brisbane has a large and competitive professional carpet cleaning market. Brisbane's humid sub-tropical climate means carpets can develop mould and musty odours faster than in drier climates, professional cleaning every 12 months or less is recommended for Brisbane homes, especially those with air conditioning that recirculates air over carpets. qcat.qld.gov.au

Brisbane Humidity and Carpet Mould Prevention

Brisbane's summer humidity (frequently above 80% relative humidity) creates ideal conditions for mould growth in carpets, particularly in poorly ventilated rooms or under heavy furniture. Anti-fungal carpet treatments can be applied during professional cleaning to inhibit mould regrowth. Flood-affected carpets (Brisbane has experienced significant flooding in 2011 and 2022) typically need replacement rather than cleaning if soaked for more than 24-48 hours. qcat.qld.gov.au
