The prices shown on our Deals Page are guides only. A property base fee of approximately $73 (after 20% discount) plus GST applies for most jobs. The final quote may vary depending on carpet condition (e.g., heavily soiled or pet urine stains), property type (house or apartment), and additional services. Our instant online quote calculator will give you the exact price before you book.

The call-out fee covers travel, fuel, equipment setup, pre-inspection, and pre-treatment of stains. Most carpet cleaners in Canberra include this in their pricing — we just show it transparently. The fee is waived if you book upholstery-only or tile-only services. For apartment bookings without lift access, an additional access charge applies for higher floors.

The 20% discount is automatically applied to all bookings made through our online instant quote calculator. There's no coupon code needed and the discount appears in the live cost summary as you build your booking. We also occasionally release additional coupon codes through our newsletter and social media.

We accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, and bank transfer (EFT). Payment is taken on the day of service after you're satisfied with the result. We don't require a deposit at the time of booking.

🧴 Service & Methods

We offer both, but 99% of customers request steam cleaning. If you choose dry cleaning, we recommend scheduling steam cleaning next time because dry cleaning is less effective at extracting embedded dirt. Real estate agents also typically prefer steam-cleaned carpets for end-of-lease inspections.

Our truck-mounted steam cleaning includes:
  • Pre-vacuum (extra cost; select during booking)
  • Pre-inspection for stains or spots
  • Pre-treatment for stains and spots
  • Pre-spray
  • Steam extraction, conditioning, sanitising, and deodorising
  • Complete removal of cleaning chemicals

Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) uses heated water and powerful suction to deep clean carpets, removing embedded dirt, allergens, and bacteria. Carpets are walk-on dry in 1–2 hours but fully dry within 6–8 hours. Dry cleaning uses a low-moisture method with cleaning compounds and minimal water, ideal for carpets that need a quick refresh. Steam cleaning provides a deeper clean and is generally recommended for heavily soiled carpets, end-of-lease cleans, and homes with allergies or pets.

In many cases, yes. Stains can often be removed using advanced cleaning techniques. Each job is assessed individually so we can choose the correct treatment for the best result. Common stains we successfully treat include red wine, coffee, tea, blood, vomit, pet urine, ink, makeup, and food spills. Some stains that have been there for years or have permanently damaged the carpet fibres may not fully come out — but we'll always tell you upfront what to expect.

Yes — pet urine is one of the most common issues we treat. Standard steam cleaning may not fully remove deeply embedded urine, so we offer additional pet urine treatment that targets the bacteria, neutralises odours, and breaks down stains at the carpet backing. Heavily affected carpets or underlay may need extra treatment, and we'll discuss this with you before starting.

Yes, we clean all rug types including Persian, Oriental, wool, silk, and synthetic rugs. Delicate or high-value rugs are handled with extra care using fibre-safe products to prevent shrinking, stretching, or colour bleeding. We can clean most rugs on-site at your home or arrange off-site cleaning for special items.

Yes — all our cleaning products are eco-friendly, biodegradable, and safe for pets and children. We use non-toxic, hypoallergenic solutions that effectively remove dirt, stains, allergens, and bacteria without leaving harmful chemical residues. Our cleaning is safe for families with babies, toddlers, allergies, asthma, dogs, cats and other pets.

📅 Booking & Logistics

Carpets are usually walk-on dry within 1–2 hours and fully dry within 6–8 hours, depending on humidity, ventilation, and carpet type. Couches and upholstery typically take 1–2 hours to dry. Our truck-mounted systems are significantly more powerful than portable units, yielding faster drying compared to most other Canberra carpet cleaners. Open windows and run fans to speed up drying.

Yes, we offer same-day carpet cleaning across most Canberra ACT suburbs when booked before 11am, subject to availability. Same-day service is commonly used for end-of-lease moves, after pet accidents, or before guests arrive. Call 0481 734 225 to confirm same-day availability for your suburb.

You don't need to move heavy furniture — our technicians will work around larger pieces or move them carefully where needed. We do recommend you remove smaller items like toys, vases, ornaments, and personal belongings from the floor and shelves to give us clear access. For end-of-lease cleans, the property should ideally be empty for the most thorough result.

On-site cleaning time depends on the size of the job. A typical 3-bedroom carpet steam clean takes 60–90 minutes. A whole-house clean with multiple services (carpets, couches, tiles) may take 2–3 hours. Our quote calculator gives you an estimated time when you book.

Yes, you can reschedule or cancel your booking by calling 0481 734 225 or emailing info@canberracarpetcleaningdeals.com.au. We appreciate at least 24 hours' notice so we can adjust our schedule. There's no cancellation fee for changes made before 24 hours of the appointment.

✅ Guarantees & General

At CCCD (Canberra Carpet Cleaning DEALS), we provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We are fully insured, so you are covered if any issues occur — although problems are extremely rare. If you're not happy with any part of our service, we'll come back and re-clean at no extra charge.

We recommend professional cleaning at least once per year to maintain appearance and extend carpet life. Homes with pets, young children, allergies, or high foot traffic should clean carpets every 6 to 9 months. Annual cleaning extends carpet life, removes accumulated allergens and dust mites, and maintains warranty requirements for many carpet manufacturers.

Professional cleaners use the right tools and techniques to extract more dirt and protect fibres. DIY methods rarely achieve the same depth of clean, can be time-consuming, and often require renting equipment. Some professionals use light machines; we use truck-mounted systems (significant investment) that deliver superior results and longer-lasting cleanliness.
