What Affects the Cost of Carpet Cleaning?

Every home is different, so carpet cleaning is quoted after a short conversation. These are the things that actually change the scope of a job, so you know what to mention when you call.

How many rooms, hallways and stairs

The number and size of the areas you want cleaned is the biggest factor. A standard room is up to about 175 square feet; larger rooms, open-concept spaces and basements count for more. Stairs take more hand work than open floors, so mention how many steps and landings you have.

How soiled the carpet is

Carpet that has gone a few years without a deep cleaning, or has dark traffic lanes, needs more pre-treatment and more passes than carpet that is cleaned regularly. Vacuuming thoroughly before the visit helps the cleaning focus on the deeper soil.

Spots, pet urine and odors

Normal spots are part of a standard cleaning. Pet urine, vomit, ink, dye, paint, tar and slime need specialty treatment that goes beyond a standard cleaning. Tell us what happened, roughly when and where, so the quote covers it.

Furniture and access

We clean around heavy furniture and can move light pieces. Clearing small items before we arrive keeps the visit efficient, and so does parking close to the door for our van.

Add-ons in the same visit

Upholstery, area rugs and tile and grout can be done in the same visit. Bundling areas is often the most efficient way to refresh a home, and our current offer adds a free hallway when you book four rooms.

How to get an accurate quote

Call with your city, the rooms and stairs you want cleaned, and any spots or odors. We’ll talk through the scope and give you the price before booking. The final price is confirmed on-site based on size and soil, and we’ll tell you before we start if anything is different from what we discussed.
