What does carpet cleaning cost in West Vancouver? Real prices
West Vancouver homes come in two very different sizes. Along Marine Drive in Ambleside and Dundarave there are condos and older low-rise buildings, often with one or two carpeted bedrooms. Up the hill in the British Properties, Caulfeild, Altamont and Cypress Park, houses are built on slopes, so they tend to have several levels, more than one staircase, a rec room downstairs and wall-to-wall carpet in the bedrooms. Both are easy to price once you know how we count. Here’s the price list, what typical West Van homes come to, and how to see your own total before you book.
How carpet cleaning is priced
We price carpet per area, not per square foot, and the numbers are published:
- $90 an area before the current promo, plus GST.
- One area is a room up to about 150 sq ft, one hallway, or one set of stairs.
- The minimum for a visit is $210, and it covers up to 3 areas.
- One area on its own is $150.
The seasonal promo comes off jobs above the minimum, and GST goes on after. Pre-treating traffic lanes and spots is part of every clean.
Rugs and furniture can go on the same visit:
| Item | Price (before the promo) |
|---|---|
| Area rug about 10×8 or bigger | $90 |
| Smaller rug | $65 |
| Sofa or sectional | $90 per seat |
| Armchair | $90 |
| Dining chair, seat and back / seat only | $30 / $20 |
| Mattress: king / queen / single | $200 / $150 / $100 |
What West Van homes usually come to
These worked examples use the price list above, before the promo and GST:
| Home | What’s cleaned | List price |
|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom condo in Ambleside | Bedroom and living room | $210 (minimum) |
| Two-bedroom condo in Dundarave | 2 bedrooms, living room, hallway | $360 |
| Split-level house in Cypress Park | 3 bedrooms, hallway, 1 set of stairs, rec room | $540 |
| British Properties house | 4 bedrooms, upstairs hallway, 2 sets of stairs, rec room | $720 |
| Caulfeild house with rugs | 3 bedrooms, stairs, a 9×12 wool rug, a small runner | $515 |
Look at the first row. If you’re only doing two areas, the minimum already pays for a third, so add the hallway or the entry rug at no extra cost.
What changes the price in West Van
Stairs and levels. Hillside houses often have a main staircase plus a second set down to a rec room or suite. Each set of stairs is one area, however long it is.
Big primary bedrooms and open rooms. A primary bedroom with a walk-in, or an open living and dining room, can run well past 150 sq ft. Mention the rough size in the booking chat and the price will be right before anyone arrives.
Wool carpet and fine rugs. Many West Van houses have wool wall-to-wall or hand-knotted rugs. Wool gets a wool-safe solution at a lower temperature, and the price doesn’t change for it. For a valuable hand-knotted or silk rug, send a photo of the rug and its tag when you book so we can tell you whether it should be cleaned in place. Our guide to rug cleaning in West Vancouver covers what fine rugs need.
Furniture on the same visit. If the family room sofa is due too, it’s the same setup and one trip.
What every clean includes
- A walkthrough first, to agree on the areas and point out stains, pet spots and anything fragile.
- Pre-treatment of traffic lanes, entries and spots.
- Truck-mounted hot water extraction with a Cleanco Compact 47. The van stays on the street or driveway and only the hose comes in.
- A portable unit for condo buildings where a hose can’t reach from outside.
- Plant-based, pet-safe solutions on request.
- A final walkthrough before we leave. If anything isn’t right, we fix it, or you get your money back.
Most carpet is dry in 3 to 6 hours. Opening a window or running the heat helps, which matters in West Van’s wet months.
Getting ready in a condo or a hillside house
In an Ambleside or Dundarave building, book the elevator for the morning of your clean if your building needs it, and tell us about visitor parking. In a house, a clear spot on the driveway keeps the hose run short, which matters on steep lots. Pick up small items from the floors, and point out any loose stair rods or delicate rug fringes at the walkthrough.
We work weekdays, Monday to Friday, 8:30 to 4. If you’re moving or listing a house, book the clean after the furniture is out so every area gets done, and ask for a dated invoice if you need one for a buyer, seller, landlord or tenant.
How to see your exact price
Count your carpeted rooms, hallways and stairs, then add rugs or furniture. When you book carpet cleaning in West Vancouver online, the total updates as you add each item, and you see the full price before you pick a time. If you add something on the day, the technician shows you the new price before starting.
