Josh cleaning carpet professionally in a Canberra home

You've probably tried the cheaper option first.

Most people call us after someone else let them down. A hire machine that left the carpets wet for days. A cheap operator who made the stain worse. We're not that.

Verydirtycarpet is run by Josh - family-run, Canberra-based, and focused entirely on getting you a result you're happy with. Most of our work comes from referrals and customers who've been calling us back for over a decade.

"Very competitive price, prompt responses and an excellent job. Had a stain that I wasn't sure would come out. Not noticeable now as per second image. Would recommend."

"Had VDC come and do 3 bedrooms. There were lots of stains from previous tenant, one dark red stain which now you wouldn't notice was there. Would recommend using this company."

"After using VDC about 12 years ago, I knew they were the company to call. Joshua was on time, did a kickarse job & even got rid of a stain the last company that the previous owner didn't remove. I'll use them again any time I need carpets cleaned and recommend them over any other company. Awesome family business to support too."

"Couldn't be happier with the results. After receiving a poor job from another company, they came out on time straight away and fixed the carpets. They already look and smell 100 times better. Couldn't be more happy with the quality and service received."

"We had extremely soiled carpets that hadn't been cleaned in years. 3 kids, 4 cats. I assumed I'd be turned down and told to just replace them. This business did not disappoint. I am beyond satisfied at the job that Josh did. He spent AGES and I am so impressed. I will be using these guys regularly now."

Most common questions, answered

Usually yes - but we'll be straight with you. Some stains have been set with heat or left too long and can't be fully removed. We'll tell you before we start what we think we can achieve. We never charge for results we didn't deliver.
Yes, in most cases. We use an enzyme treatment that breaks down the urine at a molecular level rather than just masking the odour. If the contamination has soaked into the underlay or subfloor, we'll tell you - and advise the best course of action.
Our truck-mounted equipment extracts far more water than a hire machine. Typically 2 to 4 hours in summer, 6 to 8 hours in winter. Opening windows and running heating helps speed it up significantly.
Yes. We use non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning products. Once your carpets are dry, they're completely safe for the whole household.
We cover all Canberra suburbs including Tuggeranong, Woden, Belconnen, Gungahlin, Inner North, Inner South, Weston Creek, Molonglo Valley, Queanbeyan and surrounding ACT areas.

Don't replace it. Restore it.

Most carpets people think are ruined just need the right equipment and someone who actually cares.
