Why DIY Carpet Cleaning Can Go Wrong
It’s tempting to grab a sponge and some household cleaners to tackle a stain, but DIY methods often cause more harm than good. Here’s why:
- Using the wrong products: Harsh chemicals like bleach or dish soap can set stains or damage carpet fibers.
- Over-wetting: Too much water can lead to mold, mildew, or wicking, where stains reappear as the carpet dries.
- Scrubbing too hard: Vigorous scrubbing can fray carpets or push stains deeper.
If your DIY fix has gone sideways, don’t worry—we’ve seen it all, from dye disasters to sticky residues, and we’re ready to make it right.
What to Do After a DIY Mishap
If your DIY attempt didn’t go as planned, here’s how to minimize damage before we arrive:
- Blot, don’t scrub: Use a plain white towel to gently dab up excess liquid. Avoid rubbing, as it can worsen the stain.
- Scrape solids: For bulky spills, use a spoon to carefully scoop up material.
- Apply water sparingly: Blot with a damp cloth, but don’t soak the area, as excess water can complicate treatment.
- Leave chemicals alone: Household cleaners can interfere with our professional process, so stick to water until we get there.
How Klever Carpet Cleaning Fixes DIY Disasters
Our Auckland-based technicians are trained to undo DIY damage with industry-leading methods. Here’s how we help:
- Specialized stain removal: We assess the stain—whether it’s from wine, coffee, or a DIY chemical mishap—and use targeted treatments to lift it without harming your carpet.
- Deep cleaning expertise: If the stain has spread or the carpet looks uneven, we can clean the entire area to blend and restore its look, usually in one to two hours.
- Advanced technology: Using state-of-the-art equipment and safe, industry-standard products, we tackle even the toughest DIY fails. While we can’t guarantee every stain will vanish (factors like stain age or carpet type play a role), our high success rate speaks for itself.
- Safe for your home: Worried about chemicals? Our trained pros use products carefully, ensuring they’re safe for you, your kids, and your pets once the job’s done. We’ll guide you on keeping clear of the treated area until it’s ready, typically after a hot water extraction steam clean.

Carpet Care FAQ's
What Cleaning Method Do We Use ?
The hot water extraction method of carpet cleaning uses water that’s 98.9 degrees Celsius. This heat is how we break apart dirt and grease from the carpet fiber to be extracted with our powerful vacuum.
Truck-mounted machines are the only machines with the power to reach deep into the carpet pile and extract maximum dirt then whisk away left over moisture.
How Long Does It Take?
There are several different factors that determine how long the job will take. Weather, wind, and the skills of the carpet cleaner’s doing the job will all make a real difference.
Carpet cleaning for most homes takes around 2 hours. Dirtier carpet or large homes usually take longer. Most carpet dries within 2-4 hours. Old carpet or thick pile carpet can take up to 8 hours max.
Wet or cold weather generally increases drying times of your carpet by only 25%.
Prices For Getting You Carpet Clean
We use flat rate pricing meaning if you have a 4 bed house, you'll pay the same as someone else who has a 4 bed house. On the day, our technician will examine your carpet and quote for any serious stains before commencing work.
The cost of carpet cleaning in Auckland can vary greatly. The most important factor in carpet cleaning prices is the quality of the service you decide on. "Cheap" carpet cleaner companies use low powered portable machines with warm water and weak suction. The good ones use bigger and more powerful truck-mounted machines with water close to 100 degrees. In case you're wondering, Klever's prices start at $189.
Can Your Carpet Technicians Remove Stains?
YES! Our carpet technicians carry a broad range of specialised chemicals for treating various types of stains. We can remove, coffee, tea, blood, urine, food, grease and more. We will work until the stain is gone. We do have to mention that some things just don't come out no matter what we try, but we can tell you if this is the case for you.
How Do I Pay ?
Payment is easy. All our vans have mobile eftpos terminals that accept all major credit cards and debit cards. Once we finish cleaning you can simply tap and pay. On occasions where your not present, payment can be made via phone or internet.
How Long Does It Take To Dry ?
Not as long as you think. Your carpet technician is trained to inject steam into your carpet twice, then extract it 4 times. These extra strokes of powerful vacuum extraction remove all excess moisture leaving your carpet barely damp. On a nice day, your carpets should be dry by night fall. During rain or winter months drying times are about 20% longer, which is really only a few hours.
