How long does carpet cleaning take?

Is hot water extraction safe for wool carpets?

Yes. We use low-moisture hot water extraction that is safe for all carpet types, including wool, synthetic, and polypropylene. Our technicians adjust the settings for each carpet type.

Carpets are usually dry within 2–4 hours depending on ventilation and humidity. We recommend light foot traffic only until fully dry, and avoid walking with outdoor shoes.

We ask that you move smaller items like chairs and side tables before we arrive. Our team can assist with repositioning larger furniture on request.

Professional Carpet Cleaning Auckland

Professional hot water extraction carpet cleaning across West, Central and North Auckland. We offer two tiers — Standard for regularly maintained carpets, and Premium for deep cleans, stains, and carpets that haven't been touched in 12+ months. Fixed price by bedroom count, confirmed before we start.

What Happens on the Day

Your technician arrives with a truck-mounted or portable hot water extraction unit — the same commercial-grade equipment used in hotels and commercial properties. We do a quick walkthrough first to note any staining or problem areas and confirm the quote. The extraction process injects hot water and cleaning solution deep into the pile at pressure, then recovers it along with dissolved dirt, allergens and bacteria in a single pass. You don't get saturated carpets — the machine recovers most of the water immediately.

We work room by room so you can use areas we've finished while we continue. At the end we'll show you any areas that need your attention (stains where a result wasn't guaranteed, for example) and confirm drying time. Most Auckland homes are dry within 3–5 hours depending on airflow.

Which Tier Is Right for You?

Standard is pre-spray on high-traffic zones followed by hot water extraction (steam clean). Removes embedded dirt, dust and general grime. Best for carpets that are maintained regularly with no significant staining.

Premium adds a full pre-vacuum before the clean, targeted stain removal, deodorising and sanitising spray, carpet pile grooming, and carpet protector application — which repels future staining and helps the clean last longer. Right for pet homes, high foot traffic, or carpets not professionally cleaned in over a year.

Good to know: Standard size lounge is included in the bedroom count. Extra living spaces — dining room, rumpus room, family room — are quoted separately on both tiers. Mention them when booking and we'll confirm the price upfront.

How Often Should You Clean?

Every 12 months — most households
Every 6 months — homes with pets, young children, or allergy sufferers
Now — if carpets haven't had a professional clean in 18+ months, or there's visible staining or odour

Warranty note: Most carpet manufacturers require professional cleaning every 12–18 months to keep the warranty valid.

End-of-Lease Carpet Cleaning in Auckland

If you're moving out of a rental, your tenancy agreement almost certainly requires you to return carpets in the same professionally cleaned condition they were in when you moved in. Getting this wrong is one of the most common causes of bond deductions in New Zealand.

We provide a receipt confirming the date, property address, and service completed — the exact document property managers and landlords ask for. Most end-of-lease cleans are Standard tier unless there's significant staining, but we'll assess and confirm before starting. Need it done urgently before a final inspection? We typically have availability within 2–3 business days, and often sooner.

Tenants: Book the carpet clean after you've moved all furniture out but before your final inspection. Give your property manager the receipt on the day — it removes the question entirely.

If there's flea treatment required as well (common in properties with pets), book the pest treatment first, then the carpet clean 24–48 hours later. We can coordinate both — mention it when you book.

Prices confirmed May 2026. All prices include GST and are all-inclusive — no hidden charges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take?

A 2–3 bedroom home typically takes 60–90 minutes. Premium cleans take a little longer. Heavily soiled carpets may take up to 2–3 hours.

How long before I can walk on the carpet?

Most carpets are dry enough for light foot traffic within 2–4 hours. Open windows to speed drying where possible.

Can you remove pet stains and odours?

Yes — pet stains and odours are treated as part of the Premium Clean. Old or deeply set stains may require a specialist follow-up; we'll advise on the day if that's the case. If you're also dealing with fleas, our flea and pest treatment is best done before the carpet clean.

Do I need to move furniture?

We clean open carpet areas. Large furniture doesn't need to be moved — if you'd like us to clean under smaller items, move them before we arrive.
