Professional Area Rug Cleaning
Recent Google Reviews – What Our Customers Are Saying!
Had Alberta carpet cleaning to come and clean our carpets on the apartment we just sold. I believe it was a fellow named Nick who came to our place to conduct the cleaning. Firstly, what an epic attitude to have! The kid (younger fellow, just using the term in a positive nature) was beyond friendly, super informative and willing to answer all questions. Didn’t realize you could not wear leather shoes on the carpet when cleaning or after (thanks nick) for they will transfer colors. Nick also cleaned the apartment in a super quick and good fashion. Let us know the high traffic areas you won’t be able to get the west and tear out but my lord! The carpet was so clean I almost couldn’t even tell there was wear and tear. Will be coming back to use these guys again for any house or commercial situation I will encounter. Money well spent in my opinion and look forward to dealing with you guys again. Also, they offer furnace cleaning????!!!!! Looks like I need to review that next!

Such a professional company! Mark did an awesome job of cleaning all four rooms, got some stains out and was quick, efficient, and thorough! Love that they put down drop sheets, corner protectors for walls and furniture, and the door curtain to help keep the cold out while they do the work. Great company!

I am very pleased with the professional cleaning of our rugs and recliner .
I have had other company’s in the past and there workmanship does not compare to the terrific job that the agent for Alberta Carpet cleaning did . The Tech ( Sol) was professional and did not try to BS me on products or application. He suggested products that complemented my requirements with a active older Dog and cat . It was a tough cleaning job and carpet looks very good . It is 15 year old carpet and been clean every year by other company and this is by far best cleaning and considering my dog issues that says a lot!
Thank You Sol ...

Nicholas was very professional and thorough in doing his job. He gave me precaution like the stairs/ carpet would be slippery and reminders what not to do or when to put back the furniture. I am very pleased with his work.

Professional, polite and informative!
The technician was courteous, diligent and experienced. He took the time to explain some of the challenges with our carpets, explained the process, took care to do a thorough job and provided practical suggestions on future care.

With the 16 year old carpet, They were very confident they could make a big improvement just by cleaning it. They cleaned a small section to demonstrate the difference and we were really impressed. That rug will last another few years easily! We were very happy with the service!!

I had two separate services performed- One cleaning before moving into our new home, and one cleaning of our rental after moving out. Socrates was our moving in cleaner, and he was friendly, knowledgeable, efficient, and did a high quality job. Mark was the technician performing the carpet cleaning at our rental residence and was also everything mentioned above. Excellent service and I will definitely use again in the future. They seem to hire excellent people across the board.

I am a volunteer at a community hall and these guys were able to come out within a couple days to clean our stage and carpeted wall. They did an amazing job! This hall is rented out every week from early spring to late fall. It sees a lot of wear and tear. The carpet looks nearly brand new.

Glenn was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was very professional and courteous. He was very helpful and mindful of the furniture in the rooms and made sure he changed his footwear every time he left and came back inside the house. HIGHLY Recommended! Will definitely use again. This is by far the BEST experience I’ve had working with Alberta Carpet Cleaning!

Good job guys! That was the first time I used services from Alberta Carpet Cleaning. Alfredo is the technician who cleaned my carpet, he was very professional and efficient. My carpet was very dirty but now looks brand new. I will use their services again in the future and would highly recommend them to others.

Edison and Andrew did a marvelous job cleaning our furnace, dryer vent and central vac. We would have them back to do this job in a heartbeat as they were very respectful of our home maintaining the cleanliness of it while they did the work. They were very cordial. (Their eyesight is very good!)

Alfredo is awesome! He did an amazing job with our condo which was dirty with lots of coffee spots. We were surprised that Alfredo could remove them all especially there was also a big patch of brown chocolate stain. Good Job well done Alfredo!! Will definitely request for you again next time 🙂

FANTASTIC. TECHNICIAN MARK BERNHARDT DID A FANTASTIC JOB. CARPETS HAD NOT BEEN CLEANED FOR 10 YEARS. EVERYTHING CAME UP LIKE NEW AND THE CARPETS ARE 25 YEARS OLD. MARK IS POLITE, INFORMATIVE, AND A PLEASURE TO DO BUSINESS WITH. QUICK, EFFICIENT AND VERY EFFECTIVE. I RECOMMEND THE PRE-TREATING WITH THEIR SPECIAL CHEMICAL BECAUSE WE HAVE 3 CATS THAT OCCASIONALLY PUKE. ALL STAINS WERE REMOVED AND I ALSO RECOMMEND THE SCOTCH GUARD. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE SCOTCH GUARD THAT THEY USED 10 YEARS AGO THAT MADE THIS CLEANING SO MUCH EASIER. VERY SATISFIED. YES IT IS NOT CHEAP, BUT WELL WORTH IT. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER WITH THE RESULTS. KUDOS.

The service was outstanding! We had to cancel our first appointment because of the old tenants being difficult and they were really cool about it. I was able to call and remake the appointment the next week. We have 3 cats and Mark our technician was very animal friendly and made sure he said hi to them and made sure we had a safe spot to keep them while the door was opened. The carpet itself is almost 3 shades lighter, the overall cleanliness is not something we could achieve on our own. Thank you you for making this stressful situation easier and faster for the 3 of us and the animals.

From a general inquiry and estimate to closing the door after the cleaning was done, in other words the whole experience of dealing with Alberta Carpet Cleaning - was a pure pleasure. Professional, competent, personable, and absolutely excellent results. If you want a great experience and result like I got from Justin you're talking to the right people at Alberta Carpet Cleaning.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mark when he came to clean my carpets. He was punctual, friendly and very professional. We discussed the work to be completed and additional services that could be added at little extra charge. I am very happy with the work performed and highly recommend Alberta Carpet Cleaning for a job well done.

Glenn was very fast and efficient. The carpets look brand new and I am very happy with the results. He also chatted with me at the end which I appreciated. Very polite. We also still had some things to move off the carpet and although it wasn’t his job he helped move some furniture before starting the carpet cleaning. Would recommend this company and Glenn to everyone. Hope to use him again next time we need a carpet cleaning.

Received excellent service - right from the initial phone call - to the cleaning service - and to top it off, they actually follow up with a phone call to ensure you received what you had expected. Can't recommend Alberta Carpet Cleaning enough !!
Very efficient right from the office to the technician - We have had our carpets cleaned more than 20 times in many residences and Alberta Carpet Cleaning never lets us down! Thank You !

Wow wow wow!! The 2 gentlemen that came to clean the furnace of our first home were a duo of true professionals. Ha and Richie were considerate in letting me know when they would be coming, with 2 phone updates.And when they noticed other items that required service. They fully educated me on my options, never pushy. I am a first time home buyer and their professionalism and knowledge truly enhanced this experience for me.I will be a return customer for sure👍🏻

I give Alberta Carpet Cleaning five stars for taking ownership of a series of incidents and then rectifying the situation.I give John who was on the phone, and the young man who delivered my carpet Five stars. They were always polite, professional and went up and beyond to ensure my carpets were delivered as promised. Thank you.And ultimately my area carpets were cleaned to my satisfaction.Joyce

Excellent experience with Alberta Carpet Cleaning. Efficient, knowledgeable and easy to book. Also followed up with one of my warrantied cleanings and they were equally as easy to book and did a fantastic job there, too. Would absolutely use again and recommend.

I have had Alberta Carpet and Furnace cleaning do my annual furnace cleaning for a few years and have always been happy with their service. When I got their services for my church, I was wowed at their attention to detail. The tech Justin was thorough and he was so good. He double checked on some stains on the carpet to ensure I was ok with how they didn't quite clean out. He was efficient and went above in ensuring the streaks that came out when chairs were steamed cleaned were wiped off. I am so glad we chose them and look forward to having them clean our ducts as well

Our technician was very friendly. He also was trustworthy in that I had to leave for an appointment and was able to leave my key for him to lock the door and slip it back under the door. Carpets look good.

My experience was great from start to finish – a timely response to my request for a quote to get 2 large (8’ x 10’) cotton Indian area rugs cleaned off site. I was quoted $493 to get them both done but with the caveat that if some stains were resistant, it might be higher. I thought this was fair – might sound like a lot of money, however, I hadn’t had them cleaned in 7 years and I knew that at the very least, they were full of dust and one of them had some tough stains to get out. I was given a date and a 2 hours time range in which they would be picked up. They picked up within that 2 hour window. My carpets were picked up by Aldwin – extremely courteous and answered all my questions.11 days later, I received a call from them to set up the drop off appointment – Saturday morning between 8 – 10 a.m., which was great as I didn’t have to work from home, sent me a confirmation email, called me on the Saturday morning between 7 & 8 a.m., and were there by 8:16 a.m. Nicole dropped off the cleaned rugs, which were enclosed in heavy duty poly bags to protect them – she explained that Aldwin, who had picked up my rugs, had cleaned the one that was heavily stained, 9 times. It looks great! And I was charged the price in my original quote. Both Aldwin and Nicole were very professional, and the company kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. I will use them again and I highly recommend them!

Maintaining Area Rugs Between Cleanings
Maintaining Area Rugs Between Cleanings
Vacuum thoroughly: Although it may not be obvious, dust and dirt settle into your rug from the air and every day use. Vacuuming your rug thoroughly and frequently keeps it looking great longer. How frequently you should vacuum is based on how must dust is in the home and how much use the rug gets, but a good rule of thumb is once per week, or 2-3 times per week for rugs in high traffic areas.
Spot Clean: If you have a small spill or spot, clean it carefully and quickly, while it is still wet, following our stain guide. Use an absorbant material such as a cloth diaper or disposable diaper or feminine pad to absorb as much as possible. If there is a large volume of liquid, we recommend calling a professional, as it will be difficult to extract on your won.
Treat your rugs with 3M Scotchgard™: Scotchgard™ helps your rug resist soiling and makes cleaning up spots and spills easier.
Keep up the Cleaning: Carpet manufacturers recommend professional cleaning every 12-24 months in order to maintain your warranty and keep your carpets looking great for as long as possible. Cleaning your carpets regularly can prevent premature wear, improve appearance and prolong their life.
Area Rug Cleaning FAQ
Why is the in home cleaning only available for certain types/sizes of rugs/mats?
The in-home cleaning process is a simplified process designed for synthetic, machine woven rugs without fringe or heavy soiling. In order to thoroughly clean larger, more soiled, fancier or natural fibre rugs, we need access to our facility and full range of tools.
What is the importance of regular area rug cleaning?
Many homeowners wait to book a cleaning until area rugs have a spot or stain, or traffic areas appear worn. What you may not realize is that, over time, even area rugs in low traffic areas collect dust and soil below the surface where regular vacuum cleaning may not reach. To preserve the appearance of your rugs, most carpet manufacturers recommend professional cleaning every 12-24 months for regular traffic area rugs. Rugs in low traffic areas which are vacuumed regularly can wait 36 months between cleanings if there are no stains or concerns.
Why do you take my area rug back to your office for cleaning?
Light, small, inexpensive rugs can be cleaned in home, at the preference of the customer, however, it’s important to understand that the results are not going to be comparable to a thorough restorative area rug cleaning in our dedicated area rug cleaning facility. See our method above to compare the steps in an in-home cleaning vs. a cleaning at our facility.
What is difference between one carpet cleaning company and another?
Just like every other industry, the carpet cleaning business has many competitors all claiming to offer the best service at a variety of different prices.
