The Cape Flats is often windy. It’s also near the sea and in a low-lying area, making homes vulnerable to damp, dust and sand. This calls for regular cleaning of curtains, carpets, mattresses and upholstery.
At Chelsea Cleaning, we offer affordable mattress, upholstery, curtain and carpet cleaning services in the Cape Flats.
We’re a family business that has been operating for 32 years, and take pride in our exceptional service. From Athlone and Blue Downs to Gugulethu or Khayelitsha, we can help if you need carpet cleaning in the Cape Flats.
Damp, grubby carpets are an eyesore and can even be a health hazard. Our carpet cleaning process is designed to lift and remove deep-seated dirt, pollen spores and pet hair from the pile of fitted carpets. It also destroys mould, bacteria, dust mites and other pests.
Our team of carpet cleaners in the Cape Flats uses a four-step carpet cleaning process:
- an initial vacuum using an industrial strength steam cleaning machine
- spot and stain removal using powerful stain removal agents
- deep cleaning of the carpet using a non-residue formula
- a final vacuum.
Curtains naturally trap sand, dust, pollen and other airborne particles. Without a good clean at least every year, they can become stained and unsightly – and add to the woes of allergy sufferers.
At Chelsea Cleaning, we offer curtain cleaning in the Cape Flats. Our process involves:
- taking down the curtains and transporting them to our factory
- detaching the hooks and rods, and spot treating stains
- cold water machine washing or dry cleaning the curtains, depending on the type of fabric
- air drying and steaming out creases
- re-assembling and re-hanging your clean, dry curtains.
We offer mattress cleaning in Delft, Athlone, Gugulethu, Elsie’s River and other parts of the Cape Flats.
We use high-power vacuuming, professional stain removal agents and emulsion cleaners, and deep-penetration steam cleaning to leave mattresses dry, hygienic and free of mould, dust mites and other pests.
Get a good night’s sleep every night with a clean, fresh-smelling mattress!
Our rug cleaning in the Cape Flats is ideal for loose rugs made from wool, silk or cotton, including kilims, prayer rugs, flokatis, durries and Persian carpets.
We’ve invested in the latest rug cleaning equipment to deliver the best possible results. We use an industrial rug-beating machine, a factory wash pond and an industrial centrifuge, designed to dry even large rugs quickly and with zero shrinkage.
Once rugs are clean and completely dry, we pack them in protective plastic and return them to our customers.
If you’re looking for affordable rug cleaners in Blue Downs, Delft, Elsie’s River, Mitchell’s Plain or elsewhere in the Cape Flats, contact our rug cleaning team.
Our team of upholstery cleaners in the Cape Flats has three decades of experience, and can clean upholstery in your home or at our factory. We give furniture a new lease on life!
Our process includes vacuuming, spot-treating stains and steam-cleaning fabric with a premium-quality emulsion cleaner. Then we vacuum the upholstery for a second time and allow the piece to air dry, to prevent shrinkage.
If you choose, we can also apply fabric protector to prolong the life of the material.
There’s no denying it. Cleaning Roman blinds is a tedious and time-consuming business.
With Chelsea Cleaning, you can leave your Roman blind cleaning in the Cape Flats to us.
We’ll detach the blinds, transport them to our factory, and carefully remove the rods and strings. Next we either hand wash or dry clean the blinds, depending on their fabric, and air dry them. Then we steam out creases, re-assemble the blinds, deliver them to your home and re-hang them.
