You know, I had this hilarious mishap a few weeks ago that totally made me rethink my entire life’s approach to carpet cleaning. I’m feeling unusually motivated, and I decide it’s a great time to rearrange the living room furniture.
Out comes the couch, and lo and behold, there’s a hidden trove of crumbs, pet hair, and some unidentifiable sticky spot on my carpet. I try my best to tackle it, but let’s be real—my vacuum is no match for whatever has been breeding under there.
Fast forward to me, covered in cleaning spray and dust, realizing that I now need professional help. Luckily, I’ve got a list of Ottawa’s best carpet cleaning services, which I’m glad to share with you, so read on!
How much does it cost?
In Ottawa, you can expect to pay up to $1,000 for a comprehensive carpet cleaning service depending on the type and size of your carpet.
This generally covers a range of services, from regular vacuum cleaning to more intensive deep cleaning treatments.
Clean Freaks
Address: 162 Birch Hill Private
Phone: +1 613 421 5854
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 3:30 PM
We ventured over to Clean Freaks, and this family-owned gem really stands out in the carpet and upholstery cleaning scene in Ottawa. The team is approachable and entertained our call right from the get-go.
Another plus in our books is that they use cleaning products that are not only safe for kids and pets but also friendly for the walls, leather, and the environment.
Also, they’ve provided us with thorough information on how to keep the carpets cleaner for longer, which is a nice touch. They also give free estimates, which we appreciate, since we were on a budget.
When we spoke with some of their previous clients, many expressed sentiments about the reasonable rates paired with stellar service quality.
We’re just a bit disappointed with their lack of social media presence. In this day and age, I think all of us agree that an active online presence is important.
Peace of mind with pet-safe cleaning
“We had Stephen steam clean our new house before we moved in. It gave us some peace of mind that whatever the previous owner had left behind (they were dog owners) is not coming with us into our future home. He was professional, quick, and got rid of some mystery stains in addition to generally cleaning up the whole carpet. I recommend going with Clean Freaks!”
-Zac Zanussi, Google Review
Above and beyond service and guidance
“Stephen was very professional and extremely thorough in cleaning our carpets. He went above and beyond to also instruct us how best to clean the walls and our hardwood floors. He even came back to treat our carpets, twice more, with a special solution to ensure the carpets were at their best! Very happy with the service and would recommend Clean Freaks Ottawa to anyone :)”

Quick Dry
Address: 1025 Grenon Ave #1025
Phone: +1 613 695 7705
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 9:30 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday and Sunday – 10 AM to 5 PM
We were pretty thrilled to check out Quick Dry, who has their cleaning game on point! First off, their carpet cleaning service is two thumbs-up for us.
From what we’ve observed, they really nail it when it comes to deep cleaning carpets, removing stains, and tackling those pesky pet odors.
Plus, they use chemical-free products that are so safe—especially a win for expecting moms, pet lovers, and folks with asthma or allergies.
What’s more, they also handle upholstery cleaning, oriental rug cleaning, and even get into tile and grout cleaning. This made us think that they really are a one-stop shop cleaning service for both homes and commercial spaces.
However, it’s important to note that these services come at a high price. On the upside, they offer free quotations, and we love how transparent and friendly they were when talking about estimates.
We even had a chat with a few clients who spoke highly of the team’s professionalism, efficiency, and eco-conscious efforts.
Polite and professional service
“Excellent work. Brothers Abraham and Samuel are extremely polite, courteous and professional. Very timely and efficient work was done. Time was taken to thoroughly explain the cleaning process and how to best clean the carpeting. If you’re undecided about what carpet cleaning company to have come into your home, l highly recommend QuickDry. Guarantee you will not be disappointed.”
-Geoffrey Ritchie, Google Review
Impressive stain removal skills
“I wasn’t sure they could make it happen! Abraham and Samuel arrived to clean my white sectional sofa which definitely needed a deep cleaning. There were a few serious dark stains that I never thought would come clean but voilà, the sofa is now clean! Excellent customer service from these two brothers, extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. I will definitely use their services again in the future.”

Love Your Rug Cleaning
Address: 2340 St. Laurent Blvd.
Phone: +1 613 366 6135
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 6 PM
- Saturday – 8 AM to 4 PM
The Love Your Rug Cleaning range of services is quite extensive, starting with their carpet cleaning, which covers all types of carpets and rugs. The standout here is their free pickup and delivery service for carpet cleaning, which is a huge convenience.
You just give them a call, and they come to your house, take your rug, and then bring it back safe and sound after cleaning. Aside from this, we were also amazed by their rug repair services.
Whether you need a minor fix or a color adjustment, they handle it all on-site or per request. What’s more, for first-time clients, they’re offering a sweet 30% off the total bill, which we found an awesome deal.
We’re also quite happy with how courteous and professional their team is. They really took the time to explain to us their carpet cleaning process thoroughly.
But, given that, the price is still on the higher side, and several people we talked to echoed the same sentiment.
Also, there can be a delay in turn-around times because they’re super popular and handle a lot of customers (which says a lot about their good service).
Punctual, efficient, and thorough service
“I am very pleased with the service I received from Love your Rug. The pick up and delivery was right on time, very efficient, very polite driver. I received a call bringing a large stain on one rug to my attention and a consultation about removing it. And finally my rugs came back very clean and in good condition. Highly recommend!”
-Pamela Scott, Google Review
Impressive transformation and affordable pricing
“I really wish I had taken before and after pictures of my area rugs! The difference way absolutely amazing! They were picked up quickly (at no charge) and we’re dropped off exactly when they told me they would be! I highly recommend love your rug and I will be using them again and again. And I should mention the price was cheaper then anywhere else I called. If I could give them more stats, I would!”

1Clean Air
Address: 343 Preston St floor 11
Phone: +1 613 909 8829
Business Hours:
- Monday, Thursday and Friday – 7 AM to 10 PM
- Tuesday and Wednesday – 7 AM to 9:30 PM
- Saturday and Sunday – 8:30 AM to 7 PM
We were thoroughly impressed with 1Clean Air, as they are a go-to in Ottawa for all things air duct, dryer vent, and most importantly, carpet cleaning. The team was friendly, and we found them really knowledgeable about different carpet materials and stains.
They also handle residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, and even government spaces, which speaks volumes about their capability and experience.
We also liked their attention to eco-friendly practices by not using harsh chemicals. Moreover, feedback from other customers we spoke with and some online reviews echoed that their staff is easy to reach and helpful.
However, we did find the cost is higher. Some of us feel it’s worth it for the quality you get, but others might think twice if they’re on a stricter budget.
Another small con was that although they’re efficient, scheduling an appointment during busy times can take a bit longer than we’d hoped.
Seamless booking and professional service
“The whole experience with 1Clean Air was excellent, from requesting the service on their website to booking the appointment and the team delivering the service. Very professional team, communicated the process, service selection on site, and clean-up after all was done. I would highly recommend this company.”
-Marco Naveda, Google Review
Punctual, informative, and meticulous team
“First time I’ve used 1Clean Air.- Ottawa Very efficient and great service. Arrived promptly on time, with a phone call for heads up ! The guys doing the job were very friendly and worked meticulously. Relayed some very valuable information in regards to the cleaning and future care. I’m sure the price was competitive, but I didn’t hesitate to use them. Highly recommend them now and will use again in 3 to 5 years !”

Terry’s Rugs
Address: 50 Slack Rd #2A, Nepean
Phone: +1 613 220 6593
Business Hours:
- Tuesday to Friday – 9 AM to 5 PM
- Saturday – 9 AM to 3 PM
Terry’s Rugs isn’t just about cleaning; they do repairs too! This versatility is quite the plus, adding so much value beyond the usual carpet services.
Most of us think their shop stands out not just for the services but also for the variety of rugs and carpets they stock. It’s primarily a carpet and rug shop, so if you’re hunting for something specific, that’s your go-to place.
They also use safe, environmentally-conscious products, so you don’t have to worry about nasty chemicals in your home.
Additionally, the customers we talked to mentioned how friendly and helpful the staff were. They said it’s a big help that they guide you through every step, making sure you pick the right service for your needs.
We’re just a bit iffy about the high pricing, though. Some clients felt the prices could add up, especially for extensive cleaning or repairs.
Miraculous stain removal and expert advice
“My wool carpet was impossibly stained by both pets and people and I thought it would have to be replaced. I took it to Terry’s Rugs and they performed a miracle. It looks completely brand new except for one tiny spot that couldn’t be completely removed but is now barely noticeable. I was given instructions on the correct way to clean it myself in the future.as I had tried to clean it twice before with no success. I couldn’t be more pleased with the result I got and with the helpful advice I was given for future cleaning attempts. My carpet will be returning to Terry’s for future cleaning when needed.”
-Catherine Pringle, Google Review
Exceptional service and accommodating sales experience
“We have a Kashmir high quality wool rug made and purchased in India. We have taken it twice for deep cleaning and maintenance repairs. We were very happy with the exceptional service, and all the advice he has given us to better maintain our beloved rug for many many years. From Terry we bought proper under pads for all our rugs and another area rug for our dining room. Before purchase he allowed us to bring it home to be sure it ‘fit’ with our space, our furniture and the general appearance in our home. This was very appreciated!”
