Understanding what to expect from professional carpet cleaning costs in Christchurch helps you plan a routine clean, a moving clean, or a full refresh before guests arrive. For the service itself, see our carpet cleaning in Christchurch page.
Here is the current price breakdown.
Residential Carpet Cleaning Prices
Most Christchurch carpet cleaners price by the number of rooms. A standard lounge, dining area, hallway, or bedroom will usually count as one area.
This makes the quote clearer than a vague estimate, although extra charges may apply for stains, pets, furniture, or larger spaces.
Starting prices before GST:
- 2 rooms: $80
- 3 rooms: $110
- 4 rooms: $150
- 5 rooms: $170
- 6 rooms: $190
- 7 rooms: $200
Extra Charges If Applicable
Some jobs need more than a standard clean. That depends on the carpet condition, pets, furniture, and any specific treatment needed.
Furniture Cleaning
Priced by fabric type and quantity:
- Lounge seating: from $30 per seat
- Dining chairs: from $5 per seat
Optional Furniture Moving and Cleaning Underneath
If you want furniture moved so the carpet underneath can be cleaned too, this is priced by room size:
- Optional furniture moving and cleaning underneath: from $10 to $20 per room
Pet Stain, Animal Fur, and Hair Removal
Deeply embedded pet fur or human hair needs extra equipment and time.
- Pet stain, animal fur, and hair removal: extra $30 to $40 per service
Square Metre Based Pricing
For open plan layouts or rooms that are not standard sizes, some jobs are priced by area instead of room count:
- $40 per standard area, such as a room, hallway, or staircase
- Extra $2.50 per sqm over 16 square metres
Furniture and Upholstery Cleaning Costs
Furniture and upholstery are usually priced item by item. Combining this with a carpet clean can work out cheaper than booking separately.
If you are not sure when your sofa is due, see our guide on how often to clean your couch and upholstery.
Example prices before GST:
- 1 seater: $30 to $40
- 3 seater: $90 to $120
- Dining chair: $10 to $15
- Single mattress: $60
- Double mattress: $80
- Queen mattress: $100
- King mattress: $120
- Super king mattress: $140
Stain and Odour Removal Services
Pet odours and stubborn stains need specific treatment beyond a standard clean.
Permanent Stain Removal and Colour Repair
Pricing depends on the stain, carpet type, and how deeply the mark has set. It is confirmed after a written quote and an on site inspection.
Results also depend on the stain age and carpet condition. We will be upfront about that before starting.
- Permanent stain removal and colour repair: from $180 per room
Odour Removal and Treatment
This targets odours that have worked down into the carpet or underlay, not just surface smell:
- Standard odour treatment: from $180 per room
- Strong odour treatment: $5 to $20 per sqm
Commercial Carpet and Hard Floor Cleaning
Offices, clinics, and retail spaces often need vinyl, tile, or other hard floor cleaning alongside carpet, especially in high traffic areas.
Cost depends on size, floor type, and how often the cleaning is needed.
- Standard commercial: from $3 per sqm
- Heavy duty commercial: from $4.50 per sqm
Carpet Cleaning Price by Property Size
This is useful for property managers and clients who need a size based estimate rather than a room count.
Prices below exclude GST:
- 1 bedroom unit, under 60 sqm, 1 storey: $90 to $100
- 1 bedroom unit, 60 to 80 sqm: $120
- 1 bedroom unit, 2 storeys, under 60 sqm: $110
- 2 bedroom unit, 1 storey: $120
- 2 bedroom unit, 2 storeys: $130
- 3 bedroom unit, under 150 sqm: $150
- 3 bedroom unit, 150 to 180 sqm: $170 to $180
- 4 bedroom unit, under 200 sqm: from $190
- 4 bedroom unit, 200 to 280 sqm: from $240
- 4 bedroom unit, 2 storeys, around 220 sqm: from $210 to $260
How These Rates Compare
These prices are generally in line with typical rates for professional carpet cleaning across Christchurch, and they are often affordable for smaller jobs.
The $80 starting rate for two rooms is lower than the $120 to $150 some providers charge for a similar space. Exact market positioning can shift over time, so treat this as a guide rather than a promise that every job will be the cheapest option.
Flood Inspection and Moisture Mapping
Thermal camera inspection and moisture mapping can help detect hidden water damage after a leak, flood, or larger pet accident.
- Flood inspection and moisture mapping: from $50
What’s Included
Most jobs include hot water extraction, deodorising, spot treatment, and pre vacuuming.
When booking, be clear about what you need so upholstery, stain, or odour removal can be quoted properly upfront.
Standard inclusions:
- Free stain and odour pre treatment
- Power head vacuuming
- Hyper Steam low moisture technology for faster drying, typically 3 to 5 hours
- Free plant based deodoriser, such as orange, thyme, or peppermint
- Free soil protector
