Carpet cleaning in Waterdown, Hamilton, Burlington and Stoney Creek
Klein's Carpet Cleaning was started by a former Halton District School Board custodian, and cleans carpet to that standard: pre-treated, rinsed by hot water extraction, and groomed to dry evenly. Rooms, basements, stairs and pet accidents at home; offices, carpet tile and entrances for businesses.
How does carpet actually get clean?
Most of the dirt in a carpet is not on top. It is dry grit worked down to the base of the pile and oily soil stuck to the fibres, which is why vacuuming alone leaves the grey traffic lanes in place. Klein's cleans in the order the carpet makers' own care guides describe for hot water extraction:
- Vacuum Dry soil comes out first. Most of the dirt in a carpet is dry and loose, and wetting it only turns it to mud.
- Pre-spray A cleaning solution goes on traffic lanes and spots to loosen the oily soil that vacuuming leaves behind.
- Agitate The solution is worked through the pile so it reaches the base of the fibres, not only the tips.
- Rinse and extract Hot water flushes the pile and is vacuumed straight back out, taking the loosened soil and the solution with it.
- Groom The pile is brushed in one direction so it dries evenly and stands up.
The full detail, including drying time, what comes out and what does not, and how to get ready, is on the home carpet cleaning page. For how often it needs doing, see how often to clean carpets.
Carpet at home, carpet at work
A bedroom and an office lobby need different visits, different schedules and different people signing off on them. Pick the one you are here for.
Commercial carpet
Office carpet, carpet tile, church aisles and entrances, cleaned after hours.
Commercial carpet cleaningWhy a custodian cleans carpet differently
School custodians look after carpet that hundreds of people cross every day, and they are judged on the parts most people never look at: the edges along the baseboards, the front of every stair, the strip just inside the door. Klein's founder did that job for the Halton District School Board before starting this company, and brought the habits along.
In practice that means the traffic lanes and entrances get the most attention, stairs are done by hand rather than skimmed, and you are told before the work starts which marks are soil that will lift and which are damage that will not. Read how Klein's started.

What does carpet cleaning cost?
Klein's prices by the area cleaned, which is what the Carpet and Rug Institute's hiring advice recommends: "Pricing should be based on the area cleaned, not by the number of rooms." Every price is confirmed in writing before any work starts.
| What is cleaned | Price |
|---|---|
| Home carpet | about 50 cents a square foot |
| A typical bedroom or a staircase | about $60 |
| Commercial carpet | about 30 cents a square foot |
| Minimum charge | $200 |
