Why Choose Shotover

LOOKING FOR PROFESSIONAL AREA RUG CLEANING IN CALGARY, COCHRANE, CANMORE & BANFF?

Why homeowners choose professional area rug cleaning

Area rugs collect far more than you can see. Dirt, dust, pet mess, spills and everyday wear all settle deep into the fibres over time, and delicate rugs can be damaged by the wrong cleaning products or too much moisture. Our process is designed to clean thoroughly while protecting the quality, colour and lifespan of your rug.

Dirt, dust and stains trapped deep in the fibres

Even if a rug looks fairly clean on the surface, it can still hold a surprising amount of deep-down dirt and residue. Professional cleaning helps lift what normal vacuuming and spot cleaning leave behind.

Pet stains and odours from everyday use

Area rugs often take the brunt of day-to-day living, especially in busy homes with children or pets. We treat common rug staining and odour issues carefully, using the right approach for the material.

Loss of colour and softness over time

When rugs build up dirt and residue, they can start to look flat, dull and worn. A professional clean helps refresh the appearance and feel of the rug while treating the fibres with care.

The Method

Professional area rug cleaning in Calgary, Cochrane, Canmore & Banff

Area rugs require a different approach than standard wall-to-wall carpet. Our rug cleaning service is designed for synthetic rugs, natural fibre rugs and delicate specialty rugs that need careful treatment. We clean most rugs in the home using a low-moisture process that helps remove dirt, stains and odours without harsh soaking or over-saturation.

1. Inspect, Identify & Measure the Rug

We start by identifying the rug material, checking the condition and measuring the size. This allows us to choose the safest cleaning method and confirm pricing based on the rug type and square footage.

2. Assess Stains, Odours and Problem Areas

We inspect for visible staining, pet issues, high-traffic wear and any delicate areas that need extra care before cleaning begins.

3. Apply the Right Low-Moisture Treatment

We use the appropriate low-moisture cleaning method for the rug type, helping lift dirt and residue while protecting delicate fibres and reducing the risk of over-wetting.

4. Clean, Refresh and Restore the Rug

Once cleaned, the rug is left fresher, cleaner and more comfortable underfoot, with drying times kept practical for in-home service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Shotover Cleaning.  Working with Alex and Olivia was a pleasure.  They are very professional, punctual, thorough and stand behind their work.  Very convenient that you can book on-line and they have a great response time.  We really appreciated the low moisture cleaning and the specialized care they took of our area rug.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service.  We called for a last minute appointment and they were able to accommodate a full house carpet clean within 2 business days.  The team was available to come early on the scheduled day and checked in with us if we were available.  Communication was easy and friendly. This is the second time we have used their services and we won’t hesitate to use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had Shot Over Carpet Cleaning take care of the carpets and tiled floors at the Banff Legion, and they did an absolutely outstanding job. Alex and his team were professional, easy going, and went above and beyond to make everything look fresh and spotless. What truly stood out, though, was their generosity and support for the Legion’s efforts in serving our community and veterans, something we are incredibly grateful for. It’s rare to find a company that not only delivers exceptional service but also genuinely cares about giving back. We can’t say enough good things about Shotover Carpet Cleaning and highly recommend them. Thank you for everything you did for us!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Huge shout out to Alex and the crew at Shotover Cleaning! Been renting for the last year and used them twice, once for a hardwood floor cleaning and then again for the wood floor and carpets for a move out. They did a phenomenal job! Not only was the work top notch, but dealing with Alex and the crew was incredibly professional. Great communication and the fee was incredibly reasonable for the amazing work. Will be using them when this current lease runs out. Big thumbs up!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shotover Cleaning came by today to clean our sectional and ottoman. Rosie and Olivia showed up right on time, worked efficiently, and finished exactly when they said they would. Booking was super easy too, just a couple clicks online and two days later, they were here. The whole process was smooth, and now our couch is clean… ready for my toddler to turn into forts again, but at least this time it’s actually clean! Highly recommend these folks.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were ready to scrap our white carpet after years of wine, food and pet stains covered the entire basement. Decided to give Shotover a last ditch chance at restoring them and were completely shocked at the results. The entire basement carpet now feels, smells, and looks brand new and we can now enjoy the space again. 5/5 recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Outstanding service! The carpet cleaners were extremely professional, hardworking, and incredibly accommodating — qualities that are becoming all too rare in today’s customer service world. They went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to the highest standard. My carpets look brand new, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. I highly recommend them without hesitation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honestly, you need this service if you have pets! We had such a fantastic experience with Shotover, it was easy to book and communication was prompt. I was skeptical that they’d be able to undo all of my pup’s past transgressions but it’s like the carpets are brand new!! 10/10
