Meet the Owner
With a background in fine carpet and upholstery care, Harry has built a business grounded in expertise and integrity.

Whether we’re cleaning a rug in North Vancouver or restoring tile grout in Richmond, we bring the same high standard to every space. Our systems are designed to ensure quality, safety, and minimal disruption to your day — with protective gear like corner guards, drop sheets, and shoe booties used in every home.

Why We’re Trusted Across Metro Vancouver
- REPUTATION - Enjoy one of the best reputations in our community for attention to detail and service excellence. Referred by some of the most seasoned carpet & upholstery professionals and real estate agents.
- EXPERIENCE - I have cared for the finest of carpets and rugs. I handled many specialty items and have seen many unusual soiling conditions that some companies are not even familiar with. I have been exceeding expectations since 1997.
- EDUCATION - I am certified by the IICRC, the most recognized governing body in our industry, and have been designated a Master Textile Cleaner, the highest level of achievement for carpet and upholstery cleaners. I regularly attend educational courses, certification schools, conventions, and study trade journals and books related to my work. In May, I was in Houston, Texas, attending a rug cleaning course that had yet to be offered in Canada. I am continually abreast of the newest technology and changes that regularly occur in our industry. I am a “WoolSafe” approved Fabric Care Specialist.
- SYSTEMS - Systems are in place designed to give my clients First Class Service. I arrive on time and communicate with you throughout the service experience. Proven cleaning methods provide maximum soil & stain removal without overwetting the carpet or leaving a sticky residue behind. Confirmation calls, follow-ups, shoe covers, corner-guards. Minimal interruption to your day.
- GUARANTEE - If you are not completely thrilled with the service experience you received, I will do it again. If you are still unimpressed, you will be refunded 100% of your money. I do not want anyone in our community to feel they have paid me for something they did not receive.

Frequently Asked Questions
What cleaning solutions do you use?
We carry non-toxic, safe cleaning solutions, especially if you have allergies, pets, or are fragrance-sensitive. We also carry non-toxic, fragranced cleaning products that do not fall under the eco-friendly category. Upon inspecting the item to be cleaned, we will give you our recommendation based on the soiling condition, but you have the final say and approval.
Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
We have WorkSafeBC coverage and commercial liability insurance coverage. A copy is available upon request.
How often should my carpets and upholstery be cleaned?
Typically, carpets should be cleaned every 12 months, and upholstery every 12 to 18 months, but this can vary based on usage and soiling. Manufacturer-approved protectors are recommended and optional to preserve the item.
What is your experience and expertise?
We have been in business for over 28 years and have earned one of the best reputations in our community for unsurpassed workmanship and service excellence.
Do you offer any guarantees or warranties on your services?

Can I see references or reviews from previous clients?
Absolutely, they are available online on Google, Facebook, and wherever our clients have chosen to share their service experience with us.
What is your pricing structure?
Typically based on square footage and number of stairs. For upholstery, it depends on size, whether there are looseback cushions, bolster cushions, foam, or down-filled. A picture will help, or an on-site consultation is available to you at no charge. It will provide a better overall experience and more accurate pricing.
How do you prepare for a cleaning job?
Upon entering your home, our technician will place plastic booties over his shoes. He will ask for a tour and will take note of fibre type, whether its natural or synthetic. He will document area description and square footage pointing out any potential challenges for discussion. The actual cleaning procedure can be found on service service-specific page here on our website under services. Your questions and comments are welcome.
What forms of payment do you take?
We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, cheque, cash, and etransfer.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Don Currie
The work committed then completed was extremely professional. From quote to completion, the process was exact and painless. Would highly recommend First Class Carpet Cleaning to anyone. Thank you Harry.
Allison Hall
I have been using/recommending Harry for several years now in the marine industry. Yachts have special requirements that not all carpet cleaning companies are aware of or willing to cater to. Harry understands, and does a great job to boot. I continue to use and recommend him for all types and sizes of yachts, he is my first call when I am asked to address upholstery/carpets. -Above Board Yacht Detailing Inc
Stephen Hart
One of our favourite home services! Nice preparation (moving furniture, etc.), carpets cleaned well, and nice finishing (furniture back in place, plastic or styrofoam under legs to protect wood). Plus, polite and friendly, easy to schedule, and always on time. Excellent value.
Ruth Stewart
Very good friendly and efficient service. I highly recommend First Class Carpet Cleaning!!!
Lauren Megson
Harry is fantastic and would highly recommend his service to anyone that is in need of a couch or carpet clean. We have a beautiful white couch that was incredibly stained by the kids and Harry made it look brand new. Did not think that was possible considering the state it was in. He was professional, on-time and super friendly. An expert in his craft!
