From Mud & Dirt to “Clean and Fresh”

“We live on a rural property and have kids, I can’t believe how much of the mud and dirt ends up on the carpet!! The Rug Doctor is so easy to get and use, it makes an amazing difference and the house smells so much fresher!! Thanks Rug Doctor!!” - G. Griffiths, Auckland.

Best Range of Products

“As a commercial carpet cleaner I have used your range of products extensively and found them as good if not better than other commercial products that are at a significantly higher price.” - P. Downes, Christchurch.

Happy Landlords

“Over the years I have used Rug Doctor to clean carpets in the rentals I have tenanted and have always been pleased with the results (so have the landlords). So much more cost effective than hiring a cleaning company! I have always recommended Rug Doctor to my family and friends.” - W. Arman, Whangarei.

Value for Money

“We have used the Rug Doctor many times, to clean carpets at various houses, our car, lounge suite and also mats. It's very easy to use, you get it for half a day and you can spend your time doing the jobs... cheaper than getting a company in to do it!” - A. Terrence , Auckland.

The Flatting Boys

“I'm from a flat of 7 boys. We live in the middle of Castle Street, Dunedin. The Rug Doctor did a stellar job of cleaning our carpet. This was after hosting a flat party of 800 people! Just want you to know how refreshing it feels to see so much dirt being extracted from our carpet - all credit to the Rug Doctor. I'm going to spread the word round for future flats to use the Rug Doctor after their parties.” - T Caulton, Dunedin.

Amazed at the Results

“Probably the worst combination, “young teenage children and light coloured fabric couches”. We are forever cleaning all sorts of unidentifiable stains from our couches, fortunately we spotted the Rug Doctor equipment & products prominently displayed at our local supermarket and decided to give them a try. The upholstery tool did the trick on the stains, we now have reliable products to suit every stain that we know work very effectively and we are happy to recommend to others.” - A Wagner, Auckland.
