Pre-inspection
Our team checks the carpet type, condition, traffic areas and visible marks so we can choose the safest and most effective cleaning approach for the home.
Carpet Cleaning Auckland
Carpets that look and smell clean again.
Auckland's damp air gets into carpet: the musty smell, the dust mites, the grit a vacuum skims over. So Spruce has trained local teams that reset it with hot-water extraction, the carpet steam cleaning that pulls embedded dirt and moisture out of the fibres, then deodorise where it's needed. Anything in your booked clean that's not right, we come back inside 48 hours.

What we clean
Choose what your carpets need.
From villa lounges to flat hallways and family bedrooms, most Auckland carpets just need a thorough extraction across the rooms that get used most. Rugs, stairs, heavier traffic, marks or pet odour can be added on, and we quote anything outside scope before the day.

Step-by-step process
Our 6-step carpet cleaning process.
We don't cut corners. We pre-check, pre-treat the traffic-tracked entranceways Auckland homes always have, clean, deodorise and reset, then give you dry-time advice that works around the day's humidity.
Furniture shift (light items)
We carefully move light furniture where practical and safe, then use protective blocks or tabs where needed. Heavy, fragile or electronic items should be moved before we arrive.
Pre-treatment & spot removal
We apply pre-treatment to loosen embedded dirt and treat common spots before extraction. Some stains may be permanent or need specialist handling.
Hot-water extraction
We clean with hot-water extraction to lift dirt, residue and moisture from the carpet fibres.
Carpet deodorising
We finish with professional deodorising where selected, leaving carpets smelling fresher after the clean. Especially useful for pet households and long-overdue carpets.
Furniture reset
We return moved items to their original position where practical, using furniture tabs or blocks to protect the carpet while it dries.
What's included
What's included in a carpet clean.
A standard residential carpet clean covers a full hot-water extraction of the booked rooms, with pre-inspection, pre-treatment for common spots and a final check before the team leaves. Every job is measured against that full scope.
Pre-inspection: carpet type, condition, traffic areas and visible marks checked before we start.
Pre-treatment for common marks: applied to loosen embedded dirt and treat visible spots before extraction. Stain removal is not guaranteed.
Hot-water extraction: the same method commonly called steam cleaning. Lifts dirt, residue and moisture from the carpet fibres.
Deodorising where selected: applied after extraction. Available per room or whole-home.
Light furniture movement where safe: couches, chairs and small items shifted where practical, with tabs or blocks to protect during drying. Heavy, fragile or electronic items should be moved before we arrive.
Final check before completion: booked rooms reviewed before the team leaves so anything obviously missed gets handled on the day.
Advice on drying and ventilation: practical guidance so the carpet dries cleanly. Dry time depends on carpet type, airflow, humidity and soil level.
Locally trained teams: every Spruce cleaner is signed off in our system before working on customer homes.

Across Auckland
Carpet cleaning across Auckland.
Auckland is home turf, and our trained teams cover the whole region: the central and city-fringe suburbs, the North Shore over the bridge, West Auckland, the eastern bays, and out south. Pop in your address at booking and it confirms in seconds whether you're in range.
Auckland carpet takes a particular beating. The damp air leaves it musty and feeds dust mites, the older villas still have wool carpet that needs the right touch, and the central flats turn over tenant after tenant. Add pet homes and the grit tracked through every entranceway, and most carpet is holding more than a vacuum will ever shift. Hot-water extraction is what resets it.
Common carpet jobs
The carpet jobs we see most often.
These are the carpet jobs we book most across Auckland: end-of-tenancy resets in central rentals, pet stains, reviving musty carpet after a humid stretch, worn traffic lanes, and a pre-sale freshen-up before the photos. Choose what fits the property.
Lounge & living room carpets
The open-plan living areas Auckland homes are built around, lounge, family room, the part that opens onto the deck, are where the foot traffic concentrates and the carpet greys off first.
Bedroom carpets
Master and kids' bedrooms cleaned around beds and furniture, with pre-treatment for the marks family homes pick up. A common add when a villa's whole upstairs is carpeted.
Hallways & high-traffic areas
The lane from the front door through the hall is the first thing to track in Auckland, mud in winter and grit year-round. These areas need cleaning more often than the rest of the home.
Stains, spills & spot treatment
Pre-treatment for the usual spills, food, drink and traffic marks before extraction. You get an honest read on the day, and some marks, old or set-in, can be permanent.
Pet odour & deodorising
Deodorising for the general and light pet odour that damp Auckland air tends to make worse, applied after extraction. Severe urine that's reached the underlay needs a separate quote.
End-of-tenancy carpet cleaning
Carpet cleaned for a move-out, the regular ask in central rentals at changeover. Booked alongside an End of Tenancy clean, or on its own when the carpet's the last thing left.
100 % Guarantee
Something not right? We come back.
If something in your booked carpet clean isn't right, tell us within 48 hours and we'll review it. Where it's within scope and safe to correct, we'll come back and fix it. The guarantee covers what's in the booking.

FAQ
Carpet cleaning FAQs.
The things Auckland customers ask us most about carpet cleaning.
Usually a few hours to overnight, but Auckland's humidity can stretch that out, especially in winter or in a flat that doesn't get much airflow. We give you drying advice on the day, opening windows, running fans and keeping foot traffic light, and we sequence carpets last so they dry undisturbed.
Yes, end-of-tenancy carpet is some of our most regular Auckland work, especially in the central rentals around the city fringe and the universities. Book it on its own or alongside an End of Tenancy clean and it goes on the same job for the team. The 48-hour window applies to the work we're booked to do.
We can lift a lot of the musty, damp smell that builds up in Auckland carpet, and deodorising helps in most homes. Surface mould can sometimes be treated, but mould growing through the underlay or coming from a moisture problem under the floor is a different job, outside a standard clean, and we'll tell you if that's what we find. Fixing the damp source is what stops it coming back.
Usually a few hours to overnight, depending on the carpet type, pile thickness, airflow, humidity and how soiled it was. Heavier soiling, dense pile, cool weather and poor ventilation all stretch it out. We give you drying advice on the day, usually opening windows, running fans and keeping foot traffic light until it's dry. Our guide on how often to clean carpets covers dry times and method in more detail.
We shift light furniture where it's practical and safe, then use protective blocks or tabs where needed. Heavy items (beds, dressers, wardrobes, bookcases), anything fragile or valuable, and electronics should be moved before we arrive. We won't move things we can't move safely, or where it risks damage to the item or the carpet.
No, stain removal isn't guaranteed. We pre-treat common spots and most fresh stains lift well, but some marks can be permanent: dye transfer, bleach, rust, ink, makeup, paint, tannins, old set-in stains, pet urine that's reached the underlay, water damage and sun fading. If we can see a stain in your photos, we'll tell you upfront whether we expect it to lift.
We can add deodorising for general odour and light pet smells, and it helps in most homes. Severe urine that's soaked into the underlay or sub-floor is a different job, and may need specialist restoration or carpet replacement, which is outside our standard scope. Tell us at booking and we'll let you know whether it fits a standard clean or needs a quote.
Yes, the two terms are used interchangeably, though hot-water extraction is the proper name. Heated water and cleaning solution are injected into the carpet, then immediately extracted with a powerful vacuum that pulls dirt, residue and moisture out of the fibres. It's the method most carpet manufacturers recommend.
Yes. Carpet cleaning can be added to a house clean, deep clean or end-of-tenancy booking. Add it when you book and it shows on the same job for the team. We sequence the work so carpets are usually cleaned last, so they dry undisturbed.
A quick vacuum the day before helps, since it lifts surface debris so we can focus on what's embedded in the carpet. It isn't required, but it can improve the result on heavily soiled carpet. No need for a deep vacuum, just clear the loose dirt, hair and crumbs where you can.
Stairs and standard rugs can usually be added, quoted separately because they take more time per square metre than open floor. Specialist rugs (wool, silk, antique, hand-knotted) and anything that needs off-site cleaning aren't part of our standard residential service. Tell us at booking and we'll let you know what fits.
Yes. Eligible bookings can be split into 4 interest-free payments with Afterpay, selected at checkout. Useful when you're cleaning multiple rooms, adding deodorising, or booking carpets alongside another Spruce service.
Pricing starts from $159 for one bedroom (see the table above). The final price depends on the number of bedrooms, hallways and stairs, any heavy staining, pet-odour treatment, and access. Anything non-standard is quoted before the day: very large rooms, commercial areas, severe contamination or specialist stain treatment.
