Since 2007 Owner & Operator

Michael Fletcher — Owner & Founder

I started Right Price Carpet Cleaning in 2007 because I believed Melbourne families deserved a carpet cleaning service that was genuinely transparent about pricing — no inflated quotes, no bait-and-switch, no hidden charges on the day.

Over 15 years later, I still turn up to every job with the same truck-mounted equipment and the same commitment to quality. Right Price is a family business, not a franchise — you’re not getting a subcontractor who’s never met me. You’re getting me, or a member of our small, trusted team.

I’m proud of our 228 five-star Google reviews because they represent real customers who were genuinely happy. If something isn’t right after we leave, I want to know — and I’ll come back and fix it.

Carpet Steam Cleaning in The Basin

Carpet cleaning in The Basin is shaped entirely by the suburb's position within the Dandenong Ranges foothills — this is one of Melbourne's most heavily treed residential areas, and homes here deal with substantial leaf litter, bark debris and native tree pollen year-round, making indoor carpet maintenance a genuine ongoing challenge. Streets throughout The Basin sit beneath a canopy of mountain ash, manna gum and wattles, and the organic debris from these trees tracks indoors constantly on footwear, through open windows and on pet fur. The Basin's homes are predominantly owner-occupied houses on larger-than-average blocks with established gardens, and carpet here works hard from an active outdoor lifestyle that includes gardening, bushwalking and bushfire-season management. Learn more about our Melbourne carpet cleaners and how we work.

Our truck-mounted steam cleaning system delivers far more heat and suction than portable machines, extracting what's embedded deep within the fibres instead of only cleaning the surface. Pricing starts from $45 per room.

  • All home sizes — including double and triple storey
  • General staining and soiling included as standard
  • Eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions — safe for children and pets
  • Book online any time — no phone call required

Why Truck-Mounted Gets Better Results

More Heat & Pressure
Machine stays in the truck — unlimited power, no tank to empty or refill.
Dry in 6–8 Hours
Superior extraction removes far more moisture than portable units can manage.
Deeper Clean
Reaches embedded grit, allergens and bacteria that portable hire machines miss.

How We Clean Your The Basin Carpets

Every job follows the same proven five-step process — designed for a thorough, lasting result.

1
Pre-Inspection
We assess carpet type, fibre and soiling before starting to tailor the clean to your specific carpets.
2
Pre-Treatment of Stains
High-traffic areas and visible stains treated with eco-friendly solution for extra dwell time.
3
Truck-Mounted Hot Water Extraction
Hot water injected deep into fibres under pressure, then immediately extracted along with all loosened dirt, allergens and residue.
4
Speed-Drying
High-suction extraction removes maximum moisture — most The Basin customers find carpets dry in 6–8 hours.
5
Post-Clean Walkthrough
We take a few minutes before we go to walk you through the work completed and answer any questions — so you’re fully across everything we did.

The Basin note: The Basin's dense tree canopy means homes here deal with more leaf debris, bark particles and native pollen than almost any Melbourne suburb — these organic materials are the primary carpet soiling challenge and we pre-treat before extraction. Mud from established gardens and runoff from the adjacent bushland is also frequent after rain. The Basin's homes often have pets that roam large gardens, and pet staining and odour treatment is a regular part of our pre-inspection process here.

What Our Steam Clean Removes

Truck-mounted hot water extraction goes far deeper than portable machines or dry cleaning methods.

Deep-Set Dirt and Grit

Allergens, Dust Mites & Pet Dander

Stains and Spills

Bacteria and Odours

Common in The Basin: The Basin sits within the Dandenong Ranges National Park boundary, making it one of the highest-pollen suburban environments in Melbourne's east — mountain ash, manna gum, wattle and she-oak produce prolific seasonal pollen through spring that enters homes through open windows and on footwear. Fine bark particles and leaf fragments from the surrounding bushland track indoors constantly. Household pets in The Basin's large-block properties include dogs, cats and even outdoor working animals, and pet dander accumulates deeply in carpet fibres. Our truck-mounted extraction removes all of these from the base of the pile.

Why The Basin Homes Benefit from Regular Professional Cleaning

The Basin's unique position within the Dandenong Ranges National Park creates carpet maintenance challenges that are unlike those in any other Melbourne suburb. The sheer volume of native tree pollen, leaf debris and bark particles that enters homes here through autumn and spring means carpet accumulates deep-set organic soiling at a rate that regular vacuuming simply cannot manage. The Basin's owner-occupied homes on larger blocks have active gardens and bushland contact that amplifies this challenge — muddy footwear, pet paws and open windows all contribute. Our truck-mounted system is the right tool for The Basin's unique environment, delivering the heat and extraction depth that removes Ranges-specific allergens and soiling from deep within carpet fibres. A professional clean every 6–12 months is essential for maintaining a healthy indoor environment here.

Carpet Cleaning The Basin — FAQ

How much does carpet cleaning cost in The Basin?+
Our standard price is $45 per bedroom-sized room (up to 3×4m). This includes pre-treatment, truck-mounted hot water extraction, general staining and soiling, and our satisfaction guarantee. No call-out fees, no hidden charges. Use our online booking tool for an instant quote on your home.
How long will my carpets take to dry after cleaning?+
Most The Basin customers find their carpets are dry within 6 to 8 hours. This is significantly faster than the 12-hour industry average because our truck-mounted system extracts far more moisture than portable units. Opening windows and running fans will speed up drying further. We recommend staying off the carpets for 2 hours after the clean.
Is steam cleaning safe for wool carpets, children and pets?+
Yes — we use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for families and pets once dry. For wool carpets, we always check the fibre type during our pre-inspection and adjust the water temperature and method accordingly. Wool requires a gentler approach and we’re experienced in cleaning it correctly without causing shrinkage or damage.
What is the difference between truck-mounted and portable steam cleaning?+
Truck-mounted machines are significantly more powerful than portable hire units. The machine stays in the truck and draws on unlimited power, delivering higher water temperature, greater pressure and stronger suction. This means a deeper clean, better stain removal and faster drying. Portable machines — including supermarket hire units — can leave carpets wet for 24 hours or more and often just redistribute dirt rather than extracting it.
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?+
For most The Basin homes, once every 12 months is sufficient. Households with pets, young children or allergy sufferers will benefit from cleaning every 6 months. High-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms accumulate grit faster than bedrooms. Regular professional cleaning also extends carpet life by removing the abrasive particles that wear down fibres over time.
