The growth of short-term rental platforms such as Airbnb, Stayz, Vrbo and Bookabach has created new opportunities for property owners and managers. However, the increase in holiday bookings has also brought a rise in property damage—both accidental and deliberate, linked to unauthorised gatherings and high-occupancy stays.

Across Australia and New Zealand, there have been multiple reports of rental homes requiring professional restoration following incidents involving broken furniture, glass, stains, and, in some cases, suspected drug use.

When incidents occur, property owners and managers need a reliable partner to restore the property to a clean, safe, and presentable standard—quickly and without disruption to future bookings. Steamatic offers an end-to-end service designed to support hosts, letting agents, and insurers through every stage of the recovery process.

Our Services Include:

• Debris and Glass Removal
  Careful extraction of broken glass and hard waste from carpets, upholstery, and flooring using specialised tools.

• Detailed Cleaning and Sanitisation
  Restoration-grade cleaning of soft and hard surfaces to remove odours, spills, and potential biological hazards.

• Drug Residue Detection and Remediation
  Where required, we provide testing and professional removal of drug residues to ensure the safety of future guests and full compliance with health and safety standards.

Steamatic operates as a trusted partner to owners and property managers, offering:

• Transparent communication throughout the process

• Detailed assessment reports to support insurance claims

• Coordination with builders, loss adjusters, and insurers

• National coverage with consistent service across all regions

Our goal is to reduce downtime, protect the reputation of your property, and provide a seamless recovery after unexpected guest-related incidents.

With decades of experience in property restoration and a proven track record across residential and commercial settings, Steamatic is well-positioned to support the growing short-term rental market.

We understand the importance of quick turnarounds, thorough documentation, and minimal disruption to ongoing lettings.
