Terms and Conditions

General Information

Health and Safety

The customer agrees not to enter the same room the Electrodry technician is working in or has equipment in. In the interest of safety we advise that:

  • The carpet or floor may remain damp for several hours after the completion of the work. This may result in a slip hazard when walking from the carpet to hard floors such as tiles or floorboards.
  • We will need to use electrical items and we ask you to be careful not to trip over any cords and keep children away from equipment that may be turned on.
  • We may need to place a bucket that contains a heater and hot water in the laundry or bathroom.

For safety reasons, people and pets should be kept out of the area and away from the bucket for the duration of the works.

In addition, we ask you to advise our technicians of any potential hazards that may exist within the house or grounds prior to commencement of work.

Delivery of Service

Electrodry cannot guarantee that all stains will be removed upon cleaning or refinishing. Stains derived from caustics, acids and permanent dyes may be permanent stains that cannot be removed. Further, Electrodry cannot be responsible for any pre-existing condition that is not apparent upon visual inspection. These conditions may include but are not limited to:

  • Fugitive dyes not properly set in manufacture or re-dyeing.
  • Lounge suites that have water or solvent soluble coloured backing material.
  • Carpet that has been over-stretched during laying or suffers from de-lamination.
  • Carpet that has suffered sun-damage, making it fragile or affecting dye colour.

  • Contact us within 14 days of the service
  • Give us the opportunity to address and resolve any workmanship issues within a reasonable time
This guarantee is a service warranty, not a money-back guarantee.

If a technician visits your property to provide a written quote, it will remain valid for 60 days. If you require a return visit to re-quote the same service, a $50 re-attendance fee will apply.
Where the scope of work has changed between the time of quote and service delivery, Electrodry reserves the right to:
  • Adjust the price to reflect the additional work, or

If paying in cash:
  • A 3% cash handling fee applies.

Payment Methods

If we attend your premises to provide a written quote then that quote is valid for 60 days only. If you require us to re-attend to re-quote the same service at a later stage then a fee of $50 shall apply for the re-attendance.

If the scope of work changes from the time of the quote to the time that the service is provided, then we reserve the right to either charge an appropriate additional fee for the increased work, or if the work is not undertaken, charge 50% of the original value of the job.

If the job scope has changed since the original quote, we may:
  • Charge an additional fee, or
  • Charge 50% of the original value if the job is declined at the time of service
Examples of changes include heavier soiling, additional stains, or a larger affected area than initially quoted.

Air Conditioner Cleaning

Accessibility Requirement for External Air-conditioner Unit:

To clean the external unit of a split system air-conditioner, the unit must be on ground level and easily accessible with flat access on a paved path to transport the machinery. If the external unit is on a balcony, it must be on the same floor as the internal unit.

Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning

Carpet Cleaning

Prices are subject to a maximum room size of 13 square metres. Stairs are quoted per step. Prices are subject to the condition of the carpet. Difficult stains may incur an additional charge.

Additional charges may apply for recliners, ottomans and chaises. Leather upholstery is subject to additional charges.

Carpet and Fabric Protection

The customer agrees that they have been informed that there are various types of fabric protection and the type used by Electrodry could best be described as a stain release.

This means that on each type of carpet or fabric its reaction is slightly different. Our product is not designed so that water beads up on the carpet, rather the stain that is caused by any spillage is released from the carpet.

Should the spillage or stain be a caustic, acid or dye, then this could impair the effectiveness of the product and the results cannot be guaranteed. Any guarantee on the application of the product is limited to attempting to remove the stain and re-applying the product to the affected area.

    • Installation of a dehumidifier.
    • Removal of shrubs or trees.
    • Installation of exhaust fans.

  • The warranty of the work will depend on what pest/s have been treated due to their different life cycles. Electrodry will provide recommendations in the service completion email provided at the completion of the job. Failure to follow these recommendations may void the warranty.
  • The ongoing effectiveness of the Electrodry pest control service is dependent on the customer following Electrodry’s property maintenance and housekeeping maintenance recommendations as outlined on the receipt provided following treatment.

Rug Wash

General Cleaning Information

  1. Whilst every effort is made to remove marks, some stains may be permanent. Electrodry cannot guarantee total removal of all stains. Residual staining may occur due to prior treatment by the customer, which in some instances can permanently set the stain.
  2. If urine is not treated for decontamination, urine odours may remain and/or intensify as uric salts are rehydrated. These outcomes are not subject to the satisfaction guarantee.
  3. Latex glue used to attach rug backing can break down or loosen over time, potentially causing sagging or separation of the backing. While every effort is made to prevent this, it may still occur. If repairs are required, issues are encountered during cleaning, or variations to the quoted price arise, the owner will be informed and approval sought before proceeding.
  4. Colourfastness varies depending on materials and dyes used in manufacturing. Rugs are tested for dye stability prior to cleaning, and appropriate precautions are taken to reduce the risk of dye migration.
  5. Mould damages rug fibres. While mould can be removed, black staining may remain, and fibre damage may place the rug at high risk of tearing. Electrodry cannot be held responsible for damage caused by mould.

Natural Fibre Rugs

  1. Natural fibre rugs, including wool, cotton, sisal, linen and other natural fibres, typically hold stains permanently due to the nature of the fibres. Electrodry cannot guarantee complete stain removal. Some residual stains may be due to pre-treatment by the customer, which in some instances will set the stain.
  2. If a natural fibre rug is affected by urine or water damage, dyes are often destabilised and colour run is common. Urine stains will usually remain. Whilst all care is taken during cleaning, Electrodry is not responsible for dye bleeding. Any dye correction is at the owner’s expense.
  3. If urine on a natural fibre rug is not treated with decontamination, odours may remain or worsen and are not subject to the satisfaction guarantee.
  4. Dyes in natural fibre rugs may behave unpredictably. Fugitive, migrating, or bleeding dyes can occur during cleaning. In rare instances, residues from cleaning products and deodorisers can lead to colour loss or a change in the colour of rug dyes during cleaning. As the client, you accept that Electrodry cannot be held responsible for any changes in the appearance of a rug following cleaning where dyes have become unstable or changed in composition.
  5. All natural fibre rugs are at risk of shrinking or becoming misshapen after washing. Many will gradually return to their original size as fibres relax. Electrodry cannot be held responsible for dimensional or appearance changes following cleaning.
  6. Sisal rugs cannot effectively retain dye. Washing will, in most cases, result in colour bleeding and a patchy or uneven finish.

Special Fibre Rugs

  1. Silk and viscose rugs are made from highly absorbent fibres that readily absorb stains. By accepting the quote, the client accepts that staining and discolouration may not be removable through cleaning.
  2. If a silk or viscose rug is affected by urine or water damage, dyes will often destabilise, and colour run is common. Urine stains will usually remain. While all care is taken, Electrodry is not responsible if bleeding occurs. Any dye correction is at the owner’s expense.
  3. If urine on a silk or viscose rug is not treated with decontamination, odours may remain and are not covered by the satisfaction guarantee.
  4. Silk and viscose fibres, or pile, may set in a particular direction due to washing, moisture exposure, or wear. Cleaning is unlikely to reverse pile setting or texture changes.

Collection, Return & Storage

  1. Your rug return date is booked at the time of collection. If variations are required, Electrodry will contact you.
  2. If the rug is not collected or returned within two (2) weeks of the scheduled release or return date, a storage fee of $10 per day will apply.
  3. If no one is available on the scheduled return date, payment must be completed prior to redelivery. If payment is not completed on the day, the rug will be rescheduled with a $100 return fee. Storage fees of $10 per day apply after two (2) weeks from the scheduled return or release date.
  4. We require at least 2 business days’ notice for any booking cancellations or changes. Should you cancel or transfer your booking with less than 2 business days’ notice, a late change or cancellation fee of up to 25% of the job value may be applied.

Payment Terms

  1. A 50% deposit is required at the time of rug collection. The remaining balance is due upon rug delivery. Payment in full is required before rugs are released.
  2. We prefer payment by card. A 0.8% surcharge applies. For cash payments, a 3% cash handling fee applies to cover the time and cost of handling and depositing cash.
  3. For commercial accounts, credit terms are strictly 30 days from invoice date. Payment methods are direct deposit and credit card. Please reference your invoice number when making payment.
  4. Payment is the responsibility of the account holder or signatory. If you are acting on behalf of a third party, such as a tenant or property owner, liability for payment remains with the account holder, not the third party.
  5. All funds must be available for payment by the due date. Electrodry will not accept delays in payment due to waiting on rent payments, bond returns, or third-party fund transfers.
  6. Quotes are provided at the time of rug collection. However, changes or additional charges may apply if variations are identified during the cleaning process.
