Move-In & Move-Out Carpet Cleaning.

Get Your Damage Deposit Back

In Alberta, landlords can legally deduct cleaning costs from your damage deposit if carpets are not returned to the condition they were in at the start of your tenancy, with an allowance for normal wear and tear. The most common reason tenants in the Calgary area lose part of their damage deposit is carpet cleaning.

A professional cleaning receipt is the best protection you have. Most property managers and landlords require documented professional carpet cleaning before releasing your deposit in full. Our move-out cleaning service provides a professional invoice you can present to your landlord as proof.

Why Timing Matters for Move-Out Cleaning

Peak moving season in Alberta runs from late April through August, with the highest demand in July and August when most lease turnovers occur. If you are planning a move during peak season, book your carpet cleaning 1-2 weeks in advance to ensure availability on your target date.

The best time to schedule move-out cleaning is after all furniture has been removed from the unit but before the final walkthrough with your landlord. This gives maximum access to the entire carpet area and ensures the landlord sees clean carpets during inspection.

Move-In Cleaning: Starting Fresh

Even if carpets look clean in your new home or apartment, previous tenants may have left allergens, dust mites, pet dander, and bacteria deep in the carpet fibres. Our move-in cleaning uses hot water extraction to thoroughly sanitize carpets before you bring in your furniture and family.

Move-in cleaning is particularly recommended if you have allergies, young children, or pets. Starting with a professionally cleaned carpet gives you a documented baseline condition, which also helps if you ever need to dispute damage charges at the end of your own tenancy.

What Landlords and Property Managers Require

Most residential leases in the Calgary area include a clause requiring professional carpet cleaning at move-out. Property management companies typically require:

• A professional invoice showing the company name, date of service, and address
• Hot water extraction (steam cleaning), not dry cleaning or shampooing
• Cleaning of all carpeted rooms, hallways, and staircases
• Optional: pet stain treatment documentation if pets were present

We provide all required documentation with every service. Our invoice meets the standard requirements used by property management companies across Alberta.
