What we clean
Choose what your carpets need.
Most carpets just need a thorough hot-water extraction across the rooms that get used most. Heavier traffic, marks or pet odour can be added on — pick what fits the home and we'll 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, prepare, clean, deodorise and reset so the result is consistent from room to room.
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. The detail below is what every job is measured against.
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.

Common carpet jobs
The carpet jobs we see most often.
Carpet cleaning ranges from a routine refresh to a full move-out reset. Below are the jobs we book most across NZ homes — choose what fits the property.
Lounge & living room carpets
High-use lounge, family room and open-plan living areas — the rooms that pick up the most foot traffic and need the most regular refresh.
Bedroom carpets
Master and kids' bedrooms cleaned around beds and furniture, with pre-treatment for common marks where needed.
Hallways & high-traffic areas
Worn traffic lanes through hallways, entries and doorways — the carpet areas that need cleaning more often than the rest of the home.
Stains, spills & spot treatment
Pre-treatment for common spills, food, drink and traffic marks before extraction. Some stains may be permanent and cannot be guaranteed.
Pet odour & deodorising
Carpets that need a fresher finish after cleaning — deodorising treatment for general odour and light pet smells. Severe urine contamination may need a separate quote.
End-of-tenancy carpet cleaning
Carpets cleaned as part of a move-out. Usually booked alongside an End of Tenancy clean, but available on its own when carpets are the only thing left.
100 % Guarantee
Something not right? We come back.
If something included 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 to fix it. The guarantee covers what's in the booking — stain removal is not guaranteed, as some marks, dye transfer, bleach, rust, ink, paint, tannins, old stains, water damage, sun fading or severe pet contamination can be permanent.
FAQ
Carpet cleaning FAQs.
The things customers ask us most about carpet cleaning.
Typical dry times are a few hours to overnight, but it depends on the carpet type, pile thickness, room airflow, humidity and how soiled the carpet was. Heavier soiling, dense pile, cool weather and poor ventilation extend dry time. We'll give you drying advice on the day — usually opening windows, running fans and avoiding heavy foot traffic until dry. Our guide on how often to clean carpets covers dry times and method in more detail.
We carefully shift light furniture where it's practical and safe, then use protective blocks or tabs where needed. Heavy items (beds, dressers, wardrobes, bookcases), fragile or valuable items and any electronics should be moved before we arrive. We don't move items we can't move safely or that risk damage to the item or the carpet.
No — stain removal is not 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 the photos, we'll be upfront about whether we expect it to lift.
We can add deodorising treatment for general odour and light pet smells, and it helps in most homes. Severe urine contamination that has soaked into the underlay or sub-floor is a different job — that may need specialist restoration or carpet replacement and 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 — they're commonly used as the same term. Hot-water extraction is the proper name. The process uses heated water and cleaning solution injected into the carpet, then immediately extracted with a powerful vacuum to lift 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 during booking and it'll show 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 — it lifts surface debris so we can focus on what's embedded in the carpet. It's not required, but it can improve the result on heavily soiled carpets. Don't worry about a deep vacuum; just clear loose dirt, hair and crumbs where you can.
Stairs and standard rugs can usually be added — they're quoted separately because they take more time per square metre than open floor area. Specialist rugs (wool, silk, antique, hand-knotted) and rugs that need 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 through Afterpay. Select Afterpay at checkout. Useful when cleaning multiple rooms, adding deodorising, or booking carpets alongside another Spruce service.
Pricing starts from $159 for one bedroom — see the pricing table above. Final price depends on the number of bedrooms, hallways and stairs, any heavy staining, pet odour treatment, and access. Anything non-standard (very large rooms, commercial areas, severe contamination, specialist stain treatment) gets quoted before the day.
