With windy, changeable weather conditions and air-borne pollution from central city traffic, the City Bowl and surrounds can be particularly rough on curtains, carpets and home furnishings.
Good news is that we provide our full range of cleaning services in the City Bowl, at affordable rates. We offer City Bowl carpet cleaning, as well as cleaning of loose rugs, curtains, upholstery, mattresses and Roman blinds.
With our highly trained teams, specialised industrial equipment and advanced cleaning materials, we can deliver superior results, anywhere in and around the city – from the Bo-Kaap or Vredehoek to Century City.
Our City Bowl carpet cleaning crew is trained to clean and revitalise worn, tired fitted carpets. We arrive with a smile, and provide the kind of deep fitted carpet cleaning required to completely remove odours, pervasive dirt, pet hair, mould spores and pests like fleas and dust mites.
As specialist carpet cleaners in the City Bowl, we’re committed to providing superior results. Our four-step carpet cleaning process includes:
- vacuuming with an industrial power steam cleaning machine
- using advanced stain removal products to remove oil, grease, protein and alkaline stains
- cleaning the carpeting with a non-residue formula
- vacuuming again and air drying.
Curtains are dust, dirt and allergen traps. Pollen spores get ensnared in the folds and minute particles of dirt get caught in the lining. When this happens, it’s time to call Chelsea Cleaning, specialist curtain cleaners in the City Bowl.
We’ll take down your curtains, carefully remove hooks, rods and other bits and pieces, clean them, steam them and finally air dry them, ensuring they emerge fragrant, fresh and wrinkle-free. Then we bag them in plastic for extra protection, return them to your home and, if required, re-hang them.
If you need curtain cleaning in Tamboerskloof, Salt River, Century City or anywhere in between, our team can help – and our City Bowl curtain cleaning services are prompt, effective and affordable.
Mattress cleaning in the City Bowl doesn’t have to be a chore. At Chelsea Cleaning, we deep-clean mattresses in suburbs from Higgovale and Tamboerskloof to Vredekloof, and out as far as Century City. Our advanced methods and expertise really do deliver superior results.
As specialist mattress cleaners in the City Bowl, we provide a thorough cleaning process. This involves high-power vacuuming, use of industry-leading emulsion cleaners and stain removal formulas and steam cleaning to eliminate mites, mould and soiling. Then we vacuum again and air dry.
If you’re looking for reliable rug cleaning in the City Bowl, we can help. Chelsea Cleaning collects and cleans all types of loose rugs, from Persian carpets and woollen rugs to kelims, durries and flokatis. Then we package the rugs and return them, in tip-top condition.
We use the latest rug cleaning equipment, including:
- an industrial Rug Master machine for beating out dirt and debris
- advanced stain removal formulas
- a factory wash pond
- a state-of-the-art centrifuge, which removes up to 95% of moisture.
We air dry rugs in a shaded area to ensure there’s no shrinkage, colour runs or fading.
As the leading rug cleaners in Higgovale, Century City, Salt River, University Estate or anywhere else in or around the Cape Town CBD, we have your rug cleaning requirements covered.
Is your upholstery stained, smelly and looking a bit shabby? Don’t give up on your furniture prematurely or assume you need to reupholster it – our professional upholstery cleaning in the City Bowl may be the answer.
Our experienced team of upholstery cleaners in the City Bowl breathes new life into furniture, with a no-nonsense cleaning process. We vacuum each piece, spot remove stains, steam clean the fabric with an emulsion cleaner, vacuum a second time and, finally, air dry to prevent shrinkage. We can also extend the life of your upholstery by applying block-out fabric protector.
Our uniformed team can clean your upholstery at your home. Alternatively, we can collect loose covers, clean them and return them to you, anywhere in or around the City Bowl – from the Bo-Kaap or Foreshore to Gardens, and out to Century City.
At Chelsea Cleaning, we know how time-consuming it is to prepare Roman blinds for cleaning, and how heavy and bulky they can be to work with. Save yourself and protect your blinds by using our team, which offers professional Roman blind cleaning in the City Bowl and surrounds.
Blinds are detached from their brackets, and transported to our factory. Strings and dowels are removed, and the fabric is hand washed or dry cleaned using the appropriate cleaning solution. We steam out creases, re-assemble the blinds for delivery to your home, and re-hang. Job done!

It was a week and a half from collection to delivery and my carpets are stain free, smell great and look brand new! Would recommend using their rug cleaning services, and will definitely use Chelsea Cleaning again.Nicki

They really look like new - thanks you so much. I won't hesitate to recommend you to friends and family and will definitely use your services again.P Readman
- We have used this company twice and would use them again in a heartbeat. From the moment you call to make an enquiry, the interaction with all the staff is pleasant, friendly and professional.

An all-round great experience.K van der Linde
