How we rate carpet cleaners

Our review compares carpet cleaners on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which carpet cleaner they think is best!


Canstar Blue surveyed 597 Australians for their feedback on a carpet cleaning product they’ve purchased and used to clean their carpet in the last 12 months. Note: this does NOT include deodorisers

  • The outcomes reported in these ratings are measured via accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics.


Respondents rate their satisfaction with their carpet cleaners brand(s) from zero to ten, where zero is extremely dissatisfied and ten is extremely satisfied. Brand satisfaction was rated by respondents on the following criteria:
  • Overall satisfaction: measures consumer satisfaction with a carpet cleaner brand as an individual score NOT a combined total of all criteria.
  • Effectiveness:the product cleans carpets well when using the recommended amount and following care instructions.
  • Value for money: the cost is reasonable for the quality and effectiveness of the carpet cleaner.
  • Scent:the product had a pleasant scent and did not have an overwhelming smell.
  • Ease of use:the product was easy to open, dispense and store.
  • Packaging convenience: the product packaging was functional and convenient to use, contained adequate information/instructions and/or was aesthetically pleasing.

The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.

  • Overall satisfaction is asked as a specific question and represents an individual measure, not a combined total of all criteria.
  • When we cannot determine a clear winner from the criteria for the Overall satisfaction rating, we will then look at the other criteria measured in the rating.
    • The brand with the highest number of five-star ratings within the supporting criteria will become the five-star recipient in overall satisfaction, and thus win the award. If a clear leader still cannot be determined from the supporting criteria, joint winners will be declared.

Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

  • Britex
  • Dr Beckmann
  • Carpet Power (OzKleen)
  • No Vac
  • Vanish
  • Strike
