Michael Fletcher — Owner & Founder

I started Right Price Carpet Cleaning in 2007 because I believed Melbourne families deserved a carpet cleaning service that was genuinely transparent about pricing — no inflated quotes, no bait-and-switch, no hidden charges on the day.

Over 15 years later, I still turn up to every job with the same truck-mounted equipment and the same commitment to quality. Right Price is a family business, not a franchise — you’re not getting a subcontractor who’s never met me. You’re getting me, or a member of our small, trusted team.

I’m proud of our 228 five-star Google reviews because they represent real customers who were genuinely happy. If something isn’t right after we leave, I want to know — and I’ll come back and fix it.

Carpet Steam Cleaning in Canterbury

Carpet cleaning in Canterbury is driven by the suburb's large Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes — properties with grand staircases, formal living rooms, long hallways and multiple bedroom suites that all require regular attention. Homes throughout Canterbury, particularly around the Maling Road Village and the wide tree-canopied streets near the Canterbury Racecourse, deal with significant seasonal leaf fall from established elms and oaks that tracks indoors through autumn. Many Canterbury properties have high-quality pure wool and wool-blend carpets installed to suit the character of period interiors — these represent a substantial investment and benefit greatly from professional care over hire-machine cleaning. We provide professional carpet cleaning across Melbourne with the same guarantee.

Our truck-mounted steam cleaning system delivers far more heat and suction than portable machines, extracting what's embedded deep within the fibres instead of only cleaning the surface. Pricing starts from $45 per room.

  • All home sizes — including double and triple storey
  • General staining and soiling included as standard
  • Eco-friendly, non-toxic solutions — safe for children and pets
  • Book online any time — no phone call required

Why Truck-Mounted Gets Better Results

More Heat & Pressure
Machine stays in the truck — unlimited power, no tank to empty or refill.
Dry in 6–8 Hours
Superior extraction removes far more moisture than portable units can manage.
Deeper Clean
Reaches embedded grit, allergens and bacteria that portable hire machines miss.

How We Clean Your Canterbury Carpets

Every job follows the same proven five-step process — designed for a thorough, lasting result.

1
Pre-Inspection
We assess carpet type, fibre and soiling before starting to tailor the clean to your specific carpets.
2
Pre-Treatment of Stains
High-traffic areas and visible stains treated with eco-friendly solution for extra dwell time.
3
Truck-Mounted Hot Water Extraction
Hot water injected deep into fibres under pressure, then immediately extracted along with all loosened dirt, allergens and residue.
4
Speed-Drying
High-suction extraction removes maximum moisture — most Canterbury customers find carpets dry in 6–8 hours.
5
Post-Clean Walkthrough
We take a few minutes before we go to walk you through the work completed and answer any questions — so you’re fully across everything we did.

Canterbury note: Canterbury's prestige homes regularly feature pure new wool and premium wool-blend carpets that need careful handling. We always identify the fibre type during our pre-inspection and reduce water temperature and extraction pressure accordingly — wool needs a gentler approach to avoid shrinkage or pile distortion. Canterbury's larger homes also require careful sequencing of room order to prevent re-soiling freshly cleaned areas.

What Our Steam Clean Removes

Truck-mounted hot water extraction goes far deeper than portable machines or dry cleaning methods.

Deep-Set Dirt and Grit

Allergens, Dust Mites & Pet Dander

Stains and Spills

Bacteria and Odours

Common in Canterbury: Canterbury's canopy of deciduous elms, oaks and plane trees produces heavy seasonal pollen in spring and fine leaf particles through autumn that settle into carpet fibres throughout the suburb. Canterbury's prestige family homes frequently house well-loved dogs — Golden Retrievers and larger breeds are common on the suburb's wider blocks — and pet dander accumulates deeply in quality wool carpet. Our truck-mounted extraction removes these allergens from the base of the pile, not just the visible surface.

Why Canterbury Homes Benefit from Regular Professional Cleaning

Canterbury's prestige homes and premium wool carpets make professional cleaning both a practical and financial priority. The large period properties on Canterbury's wide streets have extensive carpeted areas — formal living rooms, dining rooms, long corridors and upstairs suites — all of which accumulate fine grit, pollen and allergens over time. Canterbury's established deciduous gardens deposit significant leaf matter through autumn that tracks indoors daily via back doors and mudrooms. Families with children and dogs find that carpet in high-traffic zones deteriorates quickly without regular deep extraction. Our truck-mounted system is matched to the calibre of Canterbury's homes — it reaches deep into premium wool fibres where hire machines simply can't go. Every 6–12 months is the right interval for Canterbury's large family homes.

Carpet Cleaning Canterbury — FAQ

How much does carpet cleaning cost in Canterbury?+
Our standard price is $45 per bedroom-sized room (up to 3×4m). This includes pre-treatment, truck-mounted hot water extraction, general staining and soiling, and our satisfaction guarantee. No call-out fees, no hidden charges. Use our online booking tool for an instant quote on your home.
How long will my carpets take to dry after cleaning?+
Most Canterbury customers find their carpets are dry within 6 to 8 hours. This is significantly faster than the 12-hour industry average because our truck-mounted system extracts far more moisture than portable units. Opening windows and running fans will speed up drying further. We recommend staying off the carpets for 2 hours after the clean.
Is steam cleaning safe for wool carpets, children and pets?+
Yes — we use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning solutions that are safe for families and pets once dry. For wool carpets, we always check the fibre type during our pre-inspection and adjust the water temperature and method accordingly. Wool requires a gentler approach and we’re experienced in cleaning it correctly without causing shrinkage or damage.
What is the difference between truck-mounted and portable steam cleaning?+
Truck-mounted machines are significantly more powerful than portable hire units. The machine stays in the truck and draws on unlimited power, delivering higher water temperature, greater pressure and stronger suction. This means a deeper clean, better stain removal and faster drying. Portable machines — including supermarket hire units — can leave carpets wet for 24 hours or more and often just redistribute dirt rather than extracting it.
How often should I have my carpets professionally cleaned?+
For most Canterbury homes, once every 12 months is sufficient. Households with pets, young children or allergy sufferers will benefit from cleaning every 6 months. High-traffic areas like hallways and living rooms accumulate grit faster than bedrooms. Regular professional cleaning also extends carpet life by removing the abrasive particles that wear down fibres over time.
