Need help with carpet cleaning at home? Tell Smurfettes which rooms need attention, what you have noticed and any furniture or access restrictions. We can discuss the proposed tasks and a written quote. A quote does not guarantee stain removal, a particular drying time, a booking or NDIS funding.
Tell us about each carpeted area
A short room-by-room list helps us understand your request. Include:
- Area: The room, approximate carpeted area and where it meets hard flooring, rugs or stairs.
- Condition: Everyday dirt, high-traffic areas, visible marks, odours, wear or damage. Describe what you can see without guessing the cause.
- Access: Furniture, entry routes, stairs, power or water questions and who may approve moving items.
- Using the room afterwards: Who needs the after-cleaning instructions and which routes or rooms must remain accessible.
Photos or notes can help show the location and size of a concern. They do not establish the carpet fibre, a contamination source or the result a treatment will achieve. Tell us when you noticed the issue and any known carpet, rug, underlay, care-label or previous-treatment information. It is fine to say that a material is unknown.
Discuss the method and any specialist concerns
The quote may include an inspection, test area, cleaning task or exclusion. Ask what is proposed for your carpet instead of choosing a chemical, temperature, machine or process from a general guide. Marks, odours, wear and colour changes may remain after agreed cleaning; existing damage and permanent changes cannot be assumed removable.
Flag unknown fibres, recent treatments, delicate rugs, loose edges, possible colour transfer and unclear furniture instructions before the work is agreed. Flood or sewage exposure, mould, pest activity, sharps, biohazards and major damage need specialist review. Repairs, restoration, pest treatment, hazardous-material work and other property work are outside a routine carpet-cleaning visit and need separate assessment. Do not assume they are included in a cleaning quote.
Agree furniture handling and access
List items that will already be removed, items that must stay in place and anything that nobody may move. Name the person who can approve furniture handling. Heavy, fragile, connected or personal items should not be assumed movable because they sit on carpet.
Tell us the address, type of home, arrival or parking arrangements, stairs or lifts, pets, communication preferences and rooms that need to remain usable. Discuss any security entry requirements, and arrange essential keys or codes through an agreed secure channel. Your preferred date remains a request until the tasks, access and appointment are confirmed.
Plan when rooms can be used again
Ask how you or your authorised contact will receive instructions about ventilation, room access and temporary precautions after cleaning. Drying time depends on the carpet, method, weather, ventilation and room conditions, so there is no universal time to promise.
Name the person to contact and their preferred communication method. If the participant needs a clear route or predictable access to a room, include that requirement in the quote discussion before any area is closed or furniture moved.
Protect privacy in a shared home
Identify the participant’s rooms, agreed shared areas and spaces outside the request. Keep housemate property, staff spaces, housing-provider duties and repairs separate. One person’s funding or instructions do not automatically cover another person’s room or belongings.
Nominate one person who can approve changes. If instructions conflict, leave the affected area on hold until the authorised people agree. Share only the participant information needed for access, communication and the cleaning.
Check NDIS funding separately
Carpet cleaning is not automatically NDIS-funded. The participant or authorised funding contact should check whether the proposed household task relates to their disability needs, fits the plan and meets current NDIS rules and their management arrangement. A service page, quote or invoice cannot establish eligibility.
Smurfettes Service Pty Ltd is registered for NDIS Household Tasks. NDIA-managed supports require a registered provider; check any applicable my provider steps. Plan-managed and self-managed arrangements have different provider and payment requirements. Registration does not approve an individual task, and any funding uncertainty should be resolved before booking.
Review the quote and any changes
Ask for a written quote that names the address, included rooms, proposed tasks, any assessment or test conditions, furniture instructions, exclusions, price basis, access arrangements, after-cleaning instructions and change contact. Optional tasks should be listed separately.
- Compare each included room with the details you supplied.
- Check that damage, specialist-work and no-move instructions remain clear.
- Resolve unknowns, optional tasks and changes in writing before accepting them.
- Keep the accepted quote, condition notes, approved changes and invoice together, and query any mismatch with the agreed work.
