Whether you’re looking for deep steam cleaning, eco-friendly solutions, or same-day service, this guide will help you find the perfect carpet cleaner to keep your floors looking their best.

I write this guide as an expert veteran of the Auckland carpet cleaning industry, and a keen marketer with unique knowledge and insights. I believe there is a good fit for everyone out there. This guide is not to rank Auckland carpet cleaners from best to worst, or to say “I’m the best and everyone else is terrible.” I hope to give you real insights that will help you find the company that suits your needs the best.

  • Services: these guys try to offer everything cleaning related. carpet cleaning, house cleaning, pressure washing etc.

Target Market:

  • This business does not specialize. They have people cleaning everything and anything.Their own marketing and advertising says they are a cheap, low cost provider of cleaning services. If you’re a renter needing to tick the box for the landlord and you’re not focused on quality they might be a good option.

Why Choose CleaningPro:

  • They are low cost, but this can often mean low quality as well unfortunately.
  • They have a lot of reviews but their rating is only 4.3 which means they have needed to win a lot of good reviews to balance out the poor reviews they receive.

# 7. Carpet Surgeon

Details:

  • Google Rating: 4.4 – 44 reviews  
  • Contact: 0800 405 670 
  • Website:  carpetcleanerauckland.net.nz
  • Services: these guys are specialists. They do carpet and upholstery cleaning, but they are known for carpet patches and taking on unusual jobs that require rare expertise.

Target Market:

  • Based on their prices, website and marketing, carpet surgeon has targeted the premium or high end market with a clean look and brand for their vans and website. They only use portable machines though so if you need a deep and powerful clean of a big area then they may not be the best choice.

Why Choose Carpet Surgeon:

  • They are a small family run business meaning they will care about you more than the big operations
  • They have a lot of reviews but their rating is only 4.4. On closer inspection it looks like they may be the victim of some fake reviews too. 
  • The only red flag I see for these guys is the web URL doesn’t match their business name. This indicates they may not have earned their google rankings themselves but instead bought a marketing kit from someone who ranked the URL and then sold or rented it to the business.
