Kärcher Puzzi

R599 a day · Deep South. Deep Clean.

Two ways to do it

Do it yourself, or hand it over.

The same machine and the same result either way. The only question is whose afternoon it is.

Do it yourself

Hire the machine

You collect it, you do the job in your own time, you bring it back. A full day with professional equipment, for less than one couch costs to have cleaned.

R599per day, everything included

  • Collect it yourself, or have it delivered
  • A measured bottle of cleaning solution is included
  • We run you through the machine before you go
  • We are on WhatsApp if you get stuck halfway

We do it

Have us clean it

Send a photograph of what needs doing, get a price back, and we arrive with the machine and do the work. You do not have to be the one pushing it.

send a photo and we will price it

  • Send a photo on WhatsApp — a room or a couch is enough
  • You get a price before anything is booked
  • We arrive on a service day and do the work
  • Several items in one visit are priced together

Doing a whole house?

For a move-out clean, a flat being turned over, or a whole house in one go, you can hire the machine with someone experienced to run it for the day. It is the same machine — you are hiring the afternoon rather than the equipment.

Pricing

One machine. One honest price.

No membership and no call-out fee. Delivery is quoted by suburb so you only pay for it if you want it.

Kärcher Puzzi

R599per day

Fits in the boot of an ordinary car. One person can carry it inside.

What R599 includes

  • The machine, flushed and tested before every hire
  • Both tools: the floor wand for carpets, the hand tool for upholstery
  • One measured bottle of approved cleaning solution
  • A handover demonstration, so you leave knowing how to use it
  • A printed guide to take with you
  • WhatsApp support for the whole hire

Add to your hire

  • Air moverAsk when you bookA carpet blower that cuts drying time by hours rather than minutes. Worth it on a whole room, in winter, or when the space has to be usable the same day.

Before you collect

  • A South African ID document or passport
  • Proof of address
  • A refundable damage deposit, returned after a quick check on the way back. We confirm the amount when you book.
  • Only the solution we supply goes in the tank. It protects the machine, and it protects your furniture from a chemical that was never meant for it.

Rather we did it?

What we clean for you

Quoted per job. Send a photograph on WhatsApp and you get a real number back, usually the same day — no site visit needed to price it.

  • Two-seater couch
  • Three-seater couch
  • L-shaped couch
  • Mattress
  • Rug
  • Carpeted room

Several items in one visit are priced together rather than added up — a couch, the dining chairs and a rug on the same afternoon costs less than three separate visits.

Heavy furniture needs a hand. We will move what one person reasonably can, but a wall unit or a sleeper couch needs either your help or a second pair of hands arranged beforehand.

What to expect

What it actually does, and what it will not.

Worth reading before you book a day off. It is the difference between a good afternoon and a disappointing one.

A vacuum lifts what is sitting on top of the fibres. This sprays cleaning solution down into them under pressure and immediately draws it back out, bringing the dissolved dirt with it. That is why the water in the recovery tank comes out grey, and why the carpet looks different rather than just tidier.

How long a job takes

  • A three-seater couchAbout an hour
  • An average bedroom carpetAn hour to ninety minutes
  • A car interiorUnder an hour
  • Three or four roomsA comfortable day

Drying

Carpet is usually dry in four to six hours with the windows open, and a couch is dry to the touch in about the same and fully dry overnight. Do the job in the morning so it has the day. Extra passes with the trigger released pull out more water than anything else you can do, and an air mover turns an overnight wait into an afternoon.

What will not come out

  • Old dye stains — wine, ink or dye that has been in the fibre for years
  • Bleach marks, where the colour is already gone
  • Burns and melted pile, which is damage to the fibre rather than dirt
  • Deeply set pet odour sometimes needs a second pass

Send a photograph before you book and we will tell you which of these you are looking at. We would rather talk you out of a hire than have you spend a day on something that was never going to come out.

How it works

Booked on WhatsApp in a minute.

No accounts, no forms to fight with, no waiting for a call back.

Hiring the machine

A full day, collected or delivered.

  1. 1

    Tell us the job

    WhatsApp what needs cleaning. A photo or two means we can tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.

  2. 2

    Book your day

    We confirm the date and get the machine flushed, tested and ready. Hire runs for a full day.

  3. 3

    Collect it

    Bring your ID, proof of address and a refundable damage deposit, confirmed when you book. We run you through the machine before you leave, and you take a printed guide with you.

  4. 4

    Do the job

    Work in one direction, take your time, and message us if anything is not behaving. We would rather answer than have you guess.

  5. 5

    Bring it back

    We check it over with you there — it takes a minute — and the deposit goes back the same day.

Having us do it

A photograph is enough to start.

  1. 1

    Send a photo

    WhatsApp a picture of the couch, the room or the car. That is genuinely enough to price most jobs.

  2. 2

    Get a price

    A real number, before anything is booked. If something looks like it will not come out, we say so now rather than after.

  3. 3

    Book a service day

    We group jobs by area so we are not driving past each other. We will offer you the next day we are your side.

  4. 4

    We do the work

    We arrive with the machine, the solution and the tools. You get your afternoon back.

Check the label before you start

Upholstery carries a cleaning code, usually on a tag under the seat or beneath the cushions. It takes ten seconds to find and it decides whether the job is safe to do at all.

  • WWater-based cleaning. Go ahead.
  • WSWater or solvent. Go ahead.
  • SSolvent only. Do not wet clean this.
  • XVacuum only. Nothing wet, nothing foamed.
  • Leather and suede must never be wet cleaned.
  • No label? Test a hidden patch — the back, or underneath — and let it dry fully before you commit.

Why hire

Cheaper than a cleaning company. Better than a hire shop.

Small radius, on purpose

We work across the Deep South and nowhere else. The machine comes from down the road, it is collected without fuss, and there is no call centre between you and the person who owns it.

You choose the effort

Hire it and spend the afternoon on it, or send a photo and hand the job over. Same machine, same result, very different amounts of your Saturday.

Priced against the real alternatives

A general hire shop will rent you an unbranded machine for less, and a cleaning company will charge you a few hundred rand a couch. This sits between the two: professional equipment, at the price of doing it yourself.

Ready to work when it reaches you

One machine, flushed and tested between every hire, with the approved solution supplied. That is why it works when you switch it on, which is not a given with hired equipment.

Where we deliver

Built for the Deep South, not the whole country.

We keep the delivery radius small on purpose. It means a machine can be with you quickly, collected without fuss, and the person who owns it is the person you message.

Just outside the list? Ask anyway — we will tell you straight if we can reach you.

FAQ

The questions we get asked most.

What do I need to bring when I collect?

Your South African ID document or passport, proof of address, a refundable damage deposit, confirmed when you book, and a way to pay. The machine is a professional unit worth tens of thousands of rand, so we check who is taking it. That is also why it works when it reaches you.

Read the hire terms
Will it fit in my car?

Yes. Fits in the boot of an ordinary car. One person can carry it inside. It is closer to a large suitcase than to the machines you picture in a hire shop, and it is the reason collecting it yourself is realistic rather than a favour we are asking.

What happens if I damage it?

Ordinary wear is expected and is not your problem. The deposit covers damage beyond that, and if a repair costs more than the deposit you are liable for the difference. In practice the two things that cause damage are putting the wrong chemical in the tank and running the pump dry, and we show you how to avoid both when you collect.

Read the hire terms
Do you supply the cleaning solution?

One measured bottle of approved solution is included in the day rate, and extra bottles are available from us. Nothing else may go in the tank: supermarket carpet shampoo foams in the recovery system, and the wrong chemical can strip the colour out of your own furniture. It protects the machine and it protects your couch.

How long can I keep it?

Hire is for a full day. We confirm the collection and return times when you book, and if you need it over a weekend just say so and we will work out a rate.

Do you deliver?

Yes, anywhere in our service area. Delivery is charged by suburb — ask when you book. It is worth asking — for a lot of people it costs less than the petrol and the hour of driving.

Can I hire it with someone to operate it?

Yes. It suits a job big enough to fill most of a day — a move-out clean, a flat being turned over between tenants, or a whole house at once. Message us with what needs doing and we will tell you whether it is worth having someone there.

How much does it cost to have you clean a couch?

Send a photograph on WhatsApp and you will get a real number back, usually the same day. Prices depend on the size, the fabric and how much has been living in it, and several items in one visit are priced together rather than added up.

Do you clean at my place, and how long does it take?

At your place — the machine comes to you and everything is done there. Most single-item jobs take under an hour, and a few pieces in one visit take an afternoon. We will tell you what to expect when we price it.

Is it difficult to use?

If you can use a vacuum cleaner you can use this. Spray on the pull, release and do a dry pass, overlap your strokes. We run you through it when you collect, you take a printed guide, and we are on WhatsApp for the whole hire.

What if I am not happy with the result?

Tell us straight away, while the job is fresh. If we cleaned it and it has not come up the way we said it would, we come back and do it again. If we told you beforehand that a stain was permanent, it is still permanent — which is why we would rather have that conversation before you book than after.

What needs cleaning?

Tell us the job and your suburb. We will come back with a straight answer on price, availability and whether it is worth doing yourself.

A photo helps. One picture of the couch or carpet usually saves three messages going back and forth.
