Why we do not have the lowest prices, and why that matters

The carpet cleaning market in Gauteng includes operators charging as little as R150 to R200 for a room. We know because clients tell us, usually when they are booking with us after one of those cleans produced a disappointing result. Understanding why cheap cleaning fails is the clearest explanation of what you are paying for when you book with us.

Cheap cleaning causes re-soiling. Budget operators typically use high-surfactant chemistry and insufficient rinsing. Surfactant left in the pile after cleaning is hygroscopic and adhesive. Within 2 to 4 weeks, the carpet is darker than before the clean because it is now actively magnetising airborne soil. This is not a theory, it is a documented phenomenon called rapid re-soiling, and it is the primary cause of the near-universal complaint that carpet cleaning does not last.

Cheap cleaning causes over-wetting. Operators who move fast use too much solution and not enough extraction passes. The backing and subfloor saturate with moisture. In Gauteng's climate, this creates ideal conditions for mould growth in the backing, a smell that no subsequent clean can eliminate without replacing the carpet.

Cheap cleaning on delicate fibres causes permanent damage. Applying alkaline chemistry to a wool or silk rug, because the operator did not identify the fibre type, causes the fibre scales to open. The texture changes permanently. Some rugs felt. Others shrink. A hand-knotted Persian rug damaged by incorrect cleaning is an irreversible loss of a potentially valuable asset.

Our pricing reflects the cost of academy-certified technicians, pH-appropriate chemistry matched to your specific fibre, commercial-grade extraction equipment, and a process that is followed completely, not abbreviated to save time. You are not paying more for the same service. You are paying for a different service.

Pricing questions answered

Why is carpet cleaning priced per square metre rather than a flat rate?
Carpet cleaning is priced per square metre because the amount of chemistry, extraction solution, and technician time required scales directly with area. A 15 sqm bedroom and a 60 sqm open-plan lounge are categorically different jobs. Flat-rate pricing for carpet cleaning is almost always calculated on average room sizes, which means small rooms are overcharged and large rooms are underserviced. Per-sqm pricing is more transparent, more accurate, and fairer to the client. We quote per sqm at R99/m² after a site assessment or based on dimensions you provide.
Are there any additional fees not shown in the price list?
No. The prices shown are all-inclusive. There is no call-out fee, no fuel levy, no chemistry surcharge, and no "stain treatment extra", deodourisation, stain treatment, urine treatment, rejuvenation, hypoallergenic rinse, and no call-out fee are included in every quoted price. The only potential additional cost is if a specific stain requires specialist spot-treatment chemistry (such as a rust stain), we discuss this before applying it, not after.
Do you offer discounts for multiple items cleaned in the same visit?
Yes. When we clean multiple items in a single visit, for example, a full bedroom set (carpet plus mattress plus headboard), or a lounge with upholstery and rugs, we can offer a blended rate that reflects the reduced per-item travel and setup time. Ask us for a combined quote when you book. Commercial clients and recurring clients are offered contracted rates with structured discounts, see our commercial pricing page for details.
What counts as a delicate rug?
Delicate rugs include Persian, Afghan, Moroccan, and other hand-knotted rugs, as well as silk, wool-silk blends, antique rugs, and rugs with natural or vegetable dyes that require special dye-fastness testing. These require lower-moisture technique, pH-neutral chemistry, and more careful drying management to prevent foundation damage, colour bleed, or pile distortion. If you are unsure whether your rug qualifies as delicate, contact us with a photo and we will advise before quoting.
