CJ's Carpet Cleaning
Craig returns the next morning to re-treat stains — and multiple customers have booked him twice as a result.
The most decision-relevant thing to know is that he is genuinely sole-trader: every job, from booking to final walkthrough, goes through Craig personally, which means accountability is high but availability on any given day is finite. The recent review window shows some wider variation in experience than the earlier period — a handful of customers describe friction around access requirements, payment methods, and communication of job logistics — so before booking it's worth confirming water access needs, cash-only payment, and any specific access constraints upfront to avoid the friction a small number of customers have encountered.

About CJ's Carpet Cleaning
Craig runs this sole-trader carpet cleaning operation out of Travellers Rest, handling everything himself — from the initial call to the final walkthrough. He's drawn repeat customers across residential end-of-lease cleans, pet odour treatments, upholstery and couch cleaning, mattress cleaning, and stubborn stain removal on carpets other cleaners have already failed on. Several reviewers specifically mention bringing him back after a successful first job, and one noted he returned the following morning to re-treat a stain uncovered mid-job without any fuss. His pricing comes up repeatedly as genuinely competitive rather than just 'reasonable,' and same-week bookings appear to be the norm rather than the exception. Craig also extends to pest treatment alongside carpet work, making him a practical one-stop option for rental turnovers or property changeovers. He's best suited to homeowners and tenants who want a single tradesperson accountable for the outcome — not a crew where no one owns the result.
Best for: end-of-lease and rental property turnovers, stubborn pet odour and stain removal on carpets other cleaners have already attempted, and homeowners who want a single accountable operator handling everything from booking to finish.

What types of carpet and fabric cleaning does CJ's Carpet Cleaning handle?+
Craig handles a broader range of surfaces than the business name suggests. Reviews mention carpet cleaning across living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas, plus upholstery (couches), mattresses, hall runners, and large rugs including Persian rugs. He also offers pest treatment as an add-on alongside carpet work, which makes him a practical option for full rental property turnovers.
How does CJ's handle jobs where the first clean doesn't fully work?+
Multiple customers in the reviews describe Craig returning to re-treat areas that didn't come up to standard on the first pass — in one case he came back the following morning to hit a stubborn stain again with stronger chemicals. Reviews suggest he does this without pushback. That said, one customer noted an email about an unsatisfactory result went unanswered, so following up by phone rather than email appears to be the more reliable approach.
What do customers say about Craig's pricing?+
Pricing is one of the most frequently mentioned positives across the 35 reviews we reviewed — customers describe it as genuinely competitive rather than just 'reasonable,' with several noting he was the best-priced option they found. One reviewer had two mats cleaned for $65, though that same reviewer felt the price wasn't adjusted when the result on one item fell short of expectations. It's worth discussing pricing upfront, especially for multi-item jobs.
Does CJ's Carpet Cleaning accept card payments?+
Based on one review, Craig operates on a cash-only basis and does not appear to offer card payment at the time of service. That reviewer noted they weren't informed of this requirement before the appointment, which caused friction. It's worth confirming payment method when you book so you're not caught short on the day.
Is CJ's Carpet Cleaning suitable for end-of-lease cleans?+
Yes — end-of-lease jobs are specifically mentioned across multiple reviews, and customers report positive results for rental property handovers. Craig's same-week availability and competitive pricing make him a practical option when you're working to a vacate deadline. If you're booking for a rental property, confirm access requirements (including water access and driveway use) when you make the booking, as a small number of reviews suggest pre-job logistics aren't always discussed proactively.
