Great service, we are very happy with how fast and effective their work was. I highly recommend Alberta Carpet Cleaning. We have used other companies in the past and felt like a waste of money. This was money well spent!

Got the recommendation to go with Alberta Carpet Cleaning from my realtor.
Very easy to get in touch with someone online and phone to get a quote. They even made some suggestions with my carpet cleaning needs based on my rooms, hallway and stairs to offer a better cleaning package that saved me money immediately compared to the initial quote!
They were flexible and easy to book me in within a few days. Where I got the pleasure to work with Scott D. Awesome friendly guy who was extremely professional and explained the progress while doing the walk through in the house and areas before getting to work.
After the cleaning, carpets looked completely different and new.
Shocking how much dirt and grime over ten years was gone while having a dog in the house too. He was even nice enough to clean a small area rug in my laundry which was above and beyond my expectations.
Will definitely use them again in the future as the quality, price and value are there. 👍

Justin was excellent, personable and did a great job. He explained the situation with the coffee drip stains on the stairs and was reassuring that I did not put water on them as a removal try. I would recommend this professional company as value for money paid.

Amazing job! Very thorough job and it's great to have our carpets and favourite armchair clean again. Marc was fantastic - polite, friendly and explained everything well. He wore a mask and kept distance which was appreciate during this time.

Straight forward service and congenial people. Good price, easy pick and delivery afterwards. My rug was badly stained with wine and all, and it was returned to me clean! Bit of red wine stain remains but they told me about the problem well before delivering rug to me. I must switch to white wine!

Laben, who came to clean my stairs did an amazing job. Professional and so pleasant. He explained what is was going to do and the breakdown of the bill.
I would recommend him and this company to my friends and family.

Mike was my service provider, he was early and setting up before our allotted appointment. He wore a mask and gloves and walked me through all of what he was going to clean. He reassured me that our pet stain would come out and it did. Awesome job Mike.
Thanks Bill

Before even entering my home, I have been met with kind and helpful voices over the phone. On the day of the cleaning, despite the challenges of finding parking around my home, they found a way to do it and they continued on. The carpet cleaning itself was fantastic - a lot of the stains were managed and the carpet looks better than when I initially moved in. What I really loved the most though was the genuine care I was given throughout the process (before the cleaning, during, and after). They don't only get the job done, they make sure you are genuinely happy with their service!

I will be using this service again. I was impressed with their dispatch/office team and their effective communication. The carpet cleaner guy was a swell old guy, I forget his name. He loved star trek and was very courteous and jolly. Did a quick job with some fun banter. He provided much information regarding my pet urine issue, solutions and general information. I would recommend them to anyone.

Loved my experience!! Mark was very informative and knew his stuff. Was able to guide me through an understanding of my carpets and how animal urine breaks down in the carpet. He used his own personal experience as well as his professional understanding of it to properly advise us.
Highly recommend Mark; I strongly believe he deserves to be paid the highest rate with this company. I have used this company twice and he was by far the highlight.
Thank you

Our technician, Mark, was a miracle worker and did such an amazing job. I was so worried some of the stains would not come out and the carpets would still look dingy but they looked brand new. So happy about the job and will definitely use them again. Thanks Mark!!

Couldn’t have asked for better service. Nic was very informative and worked at making us both happy and satisfied. He cleaned up the mess the other cleaners had left. When done, it looked like almost new. Worth every penny it cost and more.

Had carpets cleaned by Alberta Carpet Cleaning. They did a great job. The technician, Mark, was very personable and professional. He got the job done efficiently and was very friendly. Carpets look great!
I had rebooked my appointment, and that process was really easy too. They also do Saturday appointments, which is really helpful!
I'll be using them again in the future.

I had a light colored carpet that hadn't been professionally cleaned for more than 10 years. Bogdan said he would do his best to restore the carpet. He absolutely did! Superb job, done quickly and professionally. I absolutely recommend.

Mark, our carpet technician did an awesome job on our 19 year old carpet. He was fully transparent about what to expect with some of the more stubborn stains. He put extra effort into them and managed to improve the outcome. Would highly recommend Alberta Carpet Cleaning and especially Mark! ?

My experience with Alberta Carpet Cleaning was excellent. The telephone booking was easy and I liked the reminder phone call. The young man, Nic, who cleaned my carpet was polite, professional and took extra care to make sure my home was left clean. I am very impressed and would recommend your company to anyone.

I wish I can give 10 Stars!!!
What a team!! Justin W and Alfredo did an amazing job on my furniture cleaning. I called them in as a construction crew did some renovations on my roof and damaged my furniture. I was mortified- I thought it was ruined. I had Alberta Carpet Cleaning hoping that I would be able to salvage my furniture. To my shock and surprise, they came in and made my furniture look like new!!
They were punctual, were super friendly and again did an amazing job. Fantastic service for the price paid (which is a lot less expensive than replacing my furniture!)
Thank you again guys for the fabulous work!!
I am certainly going to recommend Justin W and Alfredo to anyone that needs to have their carpets or furniture cleaned.

A great overall experience. Nick, the technician, was thorough in both his work and his communication. He explained things well, reviewed his work with me, and was meticulous in completing both the carpets and furniture. I felt like I received the same level of service that his grandmother would!!

Ronald provided us with the best carpet cleaning service I have ever received. There were several stains on the carpet that I thought would never come out. But he was able to remove every single one. I can't believe it!
He was also very professional, efficient and answered our questions in a precise manner. I am going to request him personally for all our future carpet cleaning needs. Thank you.

Socrates from Alberta Carpet Cleaning spent a day with us doing EVERY SPECK of carpet in our church building. His work was amazing, bringing a clean, fresh look and smell to older carpeting. He was very pleasant and professional and kept checking in to see if we were happy with the work as it progressed. We feel SUPER BLESSED by Socrates and Alberta Carpet Cleaning. You've made our Christmas CLEAN and BRIGHT!!

Excellent and very professional service! Highly recommended. Ask for Nick, super knowledgeable, professional ( uniform with tie, clean white shirt, never saw any service techs dressed so well when coming for service), and efficient! apparently they also clean tile (just have to give them heads up while booking carpet cleaning) and leather furniture.

We arranged for our couches to be steam-cleaned prior to a big move. We were thrilled with the results. Our couches look brand new and the service agent was polite, professional and easy to communicate with. We will definitely use this service again!

Great service and professionalism! The technician Andrew and his assistant Mario today did marvellous furnace cleaning. They are knowledgable and very professional. I am so glad to chose this company and definitely will use them again.

I'm so impressed with their service. Nic was knowledgeable, friendly, well spoken and my carpets look great! I found the price very reasonable and appreciate that the products they use are pet and child friendly. When there are many independent contractors offering great deals out there, you can't trust they will guarantee their work, show up on time, or add hidden charges. So use this trusted company with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

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 ...

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. Alberta Carpet Cleaning has been serving our clients for over 30 years and we’ve developed internal controls and training systems that are time tested and can be trusted.
