Carpet cleaning in Howick.

Howick began in 1847 as the largest of the Royal New Zealand Fencible settlements — 804 people in three companies by 1848, retired soldiers given a cottage and an acre for seven years' service. It has been added to in every decade since, which is why one street here can hold an original cottage, a 1970s brick-and-tile and a new-build townhouse.

On the ground in East Auckland

From Howick and Botany's family homes to the coastal edges at Beachlands and Maraetai, the east deals in sand, kids and high-traffic living areas. We treat the traffic lanes and spills with the right method, give you a straight read on what'll respond, and leave no sticky residue to pull the dirt straight back.

What we actually see in East Auckland

One of the oldest settlements in Auckland, and it shows in the floors

European Howick starts in 1847, when three companies of the Royal New Zealand Fencibles were posted here — retired soldiers who were given a cottage and an acre of land in exchange for seven years' service. Eleven ships brought 2,500 Fencibles and their families between 1847 and 1854, nearly doubling Auckland's population, and Howick was the largest of the settlements at 804 people in 1848. A suburb that has been lived in that long has floors from every era, and they do not all want the same job.

Old wool and new synthetic on the same street

Practically, that history means we walk the floor before the machine comes off the van. Wool is a protein fibre — protease enzymes digest it, alkalis and bleaches take colour with the stain, heat can set a protein mark permanently. Modern synthetic wants the right heat rather than the most heat. Running one setting through a mixed house is how a cleaner gets half of it wrong.

A Fencible village, like Panmure — and we clean there too

The other Fencible settlements were Panmure, Ōtāhuhu and Onehunga. We work across all of that ground from our Henderson base, which means the drive is real and we do not pretend otherwise — but travel sits inside the price you see online before you book, rather than appearing as a callout fee on the day. See our Panmure page for the other end of the same history.

Showed up on time and did a professional job. The technician, Bobby, was very friendly and did a great job. I'd use ApexClean again and would recommend them to others 👍

Thank you so much for an outstanding service. Bency responded promptly to my request, did everything he could to fit in with my busy schedule, arrived promptly and did a fantastic job. He shampooed and deodorised my carpets and removed stains from my mattress. He also went beyond the call of duty and did a complementary clean of a chair I had only enquired about. He cleaned it beautifully and didn't charge. I can fully recommend Apex carpet cleaning. Their customer service is excellent. Thank you Bency. Katrien

Ben arrived promptly spent some time sourcing hose tap & power access, placed plastic protectors to ensure no damage could occur to walls / corners while moving the equipment in to the house. Worked in a very professional manner (non stop) cleaning a massive rug & 3 piece suite. I am an independent customer, my daughter used their services & made the recommendation, you should consider using them, I would give them AAA+++ (my top rating) John Glen (New Windsor)

Very courteous and friendly service. Bency really wanted to please us and did a perfect clean then offered to do a large mat as well, which was not in his quoted price. We were delighted and of course insisted on paying him for the extra work. Overall his price was most reasonable anyway. We would definitely use this Company's services again and would sooner wait for them if necessary, rather than risk a lesser job with another operator. Well done!

FANTASTIC JOB! he was professional, fast and polite. Our dog had brought concrete tar into our home and there is no way to get it out! if it's on your clothes you need to throw them away so we just wanted it to look nicer. BUT he removed it all along with old pet pee stains, coffee stains and green stuff from our deck over the winter that made its way inside. I'll be hiring them again 10/10. thank you!

I called apex cleaners very last minute the night before, and they were accomodating and let me book an appointment for a big cleaning job. The technician, Bobby, was punctual, fast, and efficient! My mattress looks brand new - old set in stains were removed! Bobby also cleaned the carpets of four bedrooms - they looks so clean and fresh it's unbelievable! The job was done quickly and to a high standard.

What we clean in Howick

  • Carpet cleaning in Howick

    Van-mounted 120°C hot-water extraction with a low-pH conditioning rinse, so nothing sticky is left behind to pull the dirt straight back.

  • Rug cleaning in Howick

    Wool, synthetic and everyday rugs cleaned on site, priced by fibre rather than size. Hand-knotted, antique and silk we refer on — and say why.

  • Upholstery cleaning in Howick

    Sofas, armchairs and dining chairs. Low pressure, upholstery tool by hand, moisture kept down — because over-wetting fabric is how you get watermarks.

  • Mattress cleaning in Howick

    Light passes and high extraction, never saturation — you cannot get water back out of a mattress core. Usually dry before bedtime.

  • Commercial carpet cleaning in Howick

    Offices, retail and hospitality floors, priced per square metre. After-hours and weekend work by arrangement.

  • Flood and water damage restoration in Howick

    24/7 emergency response, 60 minutes to 4 hours. Rapid extraction first, then metered structural drying with the readings logged.

    Pet urine, wine, coffee and set-in marks. We treat it properly and tell you straight what is likely to respond before we start.

  • Fabric protection in Howick

    Applied after cleaning on a dry fibre. Stain-resistant, never stain-proof — it buys you time to blot a spill before it becomes a stain.

What it costs in East Auckland

Residential cleans start at $149. Full daily coverage on standard scheduling — residential and commercial.

Price your East Auckland job in about 90 seconds, or read what actually separates two carpet cleaning quotes.

Carpet cleaning in Howick — the usual questions

Residential cleans in Howick start at $149, and you get your exact number online in about 90 seconds. The price depends on how many rooms, their size and how soiled they are — not on how long we are there. Nobody has to visit to quote you, and the number you see before you book is the number you pay. Price your Howick job.

Two to four hours for most rooms with a cross-breeze and a bit of warmth. The eastern bays are coastal, and coastal humidity holds moisture in the pile longer — on a muggy, still day assisted drying is worth adding. We extract on the return stroke rather than leaving the water in the carpet, which is what sets dry time — the full explanation is here. If you need it sooner, assisted drying gets an afternoon clean dry by dinner.

Yes — Howick is on our standard daily run, inside our East Auckland coverage. We work from a Henderson base, seven days, with standard scheduling out to about 30 km and appointment-based coverage to roughly 80 km for commercial and larger residential jobs. Howick sits well inside that. Short notice is usually a yes rather than a maybe.

Yes, and it is the cheaper way to do it. Carpet, rugs, sofas, dining chairs and mattresses are all the same van and the same visit, so you pay one lot of overhead instead of booking three separate jobs. Larger baskets also earn a volume discount automatically in the quote tool — you do not have to ask for it.

Yes — offices, retail, clinics, schools and hospitality floors in Howick, priced per square metre. We work after hours and weekends by arrangement, because the floor has to be dry and back in service before the doors open. Commercial carpet cleaning.
