Hot-water extraction carpet, rug and upholstery cleaning built around how a household actually lives on its carpet. Carpet Cleaning Ottawa is a brand of Carpet Experts – the same high quality that goes into our carpet jobs goes into your carpet clean.
We clean Ottawa carpet year-round, so we plan for what the city throws at it – road salt, spring melt and a long heating season.
Straightforward, itemized quotes before any work starts – no surprises on the invoice.
Fibre and fabric type determine the method used, not a single default process.
Furniture is protected and handled carefully throughout every visit.
Dry times change with the season, so method and airflow are planned around Ottawa's humidity and heating months – not a one-size default.
A proper rinse leaves no soap residue behind to attract the next round of soil, so the clean actually holds up.
What we clean in Ottawa homes. Every service below has its own detailed page in the Services menu above.
Hot-water extraction for living rooms, bedrooms, stairs and hallways – a genuine rinse, not a surface wipe.
Our standard method: pre-vacuum, pre-conditioning spray, hot-water injection and immediate extraction.
Extra pre-treatment and additional passes for heavier soil, traffic lanes and long-overdue carpet.
A low-moisture method for when a faster return to use matters more than maximum extraction.
Targeted spot treatment for fresh and set-in stains, matched to both the stain and the fibre.
Enzyme-based treatment that reaches the padding, because surface cleaning alone doesn't stop odour.
Priority water extraction and drying with air movers and dehumidifiers – call directly for urgent situations.
Fibre-appropriate cleaning for area rugs and oriental rugs, including wool and delicate weaves.
Fabric-tag tested cleaning for sofas, couches and upholstered furniture.
Same-day appointments across our Ottawa service area when the day's schedule allows.
A thorough clean timed around a turnover or closing date.
A low-VOC, lower-chemical option available on request on any job.

We book a window that fits your household, plan any add-on treatments, and confirm exactly what's included.
Furniture is protected, carpet is pre-vacuumed and pre-treated, then cleaned with hot-water extraction or the method matched to your fibre.
We speed drying where needed, check every treated area, and review the results with you before we leave.
Hot-water extraction is the method most carpet manufacturers list as their recommended maintenance approach for residential carpet, and it's the foundation of nearly every visit we make. Carpet is pre-vacuumed to lift loose soil, treated with a pre-conditioning spray on heavier traffic areas, then cleaned with hot water and solution that's injected into the fibres and immediately extracted back out – a genuine rinse rather than a surface wipe.
Low-moisture and dry-cleaning methods trade some extraction depth for speed: carpet is back in use within an hour or two instead of an afternoon. They're the right call for a room you can't take out of service, a quick refresh between deep cleans, or fibres that shouldn't take much water. Which method fits comes down to the fibre in front of us – wool wants cooler water and gentler agitation than synthetic, and delicate weaves are tested before anything else happens.
Most of a carpet's lifespan is decided between professional cleanings, not during them. A few habits do most of the work:
Ottawa's winter road-salt and grit program keeps sidewalks walkable, but everything on the sidewalk ends up in your entryway. Salt is abrasive and leaves white, crusty residue that regular vacuuming doesn't lift; the attached moisture wicks it deeper into the pile. Look for whitish staining and stiff, matted fibre in a fan shape inside exterior doors. The fix is a proper extraction clean of entry areas once the salt season ends – the residue dissolves and rinses out rather than being ground in for another year.
A pet accident that sits for more than a few minutes soaks past the fibre into the padding underneath, which is why the smell comes back on humid days even after the surface looks clean. Signs: an odour that returns with humidity, a spot your pet keeps going back to, or a stain that reappears after drying. Surface cleaning can't fix this – it takes an enzyme-based treatment that reaches the padding and breaks the residue down, which is exactly what our pet stain and odour service is built around.
Spring melt, a leak or an appliance overflow puts water into carpet faster than it can evaporate, and wet padding left sitting for more than a day or two becomes a real risk for odour and mould. Watch for a damp or musty smell, darker patches that don't dry, and cool-to-the-touch carpet days after the event. This is a priority call, not a standard booking: water extraction plus air movers and dehumidifiers inside the first 24-48 hours makes the difference. If you're dealing with water damage right now, call (343) 326-7783 directly rather than using the online form.
