Carpet Cleaning in Tseung Kwan O

Look for industry certification (IICRC or the national trade body), insurance, and reviews that mention stain outcomes and punctuality rather than just friendliness. Ask what method they'll use on your carpet and why — a professional will inspect fibre type and soiling before answering. Get an itemised written quote including pre-treatment and any minimum charge.

Wool, silk, and antique rugs need different chemistry (wool-safe, pH-controlled) and often off-site cleaning in a rug plant rather than in-home extraction. Expect per-rug pricing well above synthetic-carpet rates, and ask specifically about dye-bleed testing. Never let a general carpet cleaner run standard hot extraction over a silk or vegetable-dyed rug.

Three common models: per room (with a size cap, often 15-20 square metres), per square metre/foot, or a flat whole-house package. Almost all providers also set a minimum call-out charge, so cleaning one room costs disproportionately more than adding a second. Stairs are usually priced per step. Get the model and the size caps in writing before comparing quotes.

Fresh accidents, usually yes. Old urine that has soaked into the underlay is harder: the smell comes back with humidity unless the technician treats the pad with enzyme products or, in bad cases, replaces sections of underlay. Expect pet treatment to be a priced add-on, and be honest about the history — a technician who knows what happened treats it correctly the first time.

Expect roughly HK$3-$6.50 per square foot for professional extraction, HK$300-$800 per area rug depending on size and material, and HK$400-$900 for a carpeted room. Off-site plant cleaning for wool and silk rugs prices above in-home work.

October to February — humidity is lowest and carpet dries in hours rather than a full day. Avoid the humid season (March-May) if you can: drying is slow and mildew risk is real unless you run dehumidifiers hard after the clean.
