How Carpet Cleaning Pricing Works
Carpet cleaning is priced using two main models: per room (residential) and per square foot (commercial). The per-room model is simpler for homeowners to understand, while per-square-foot pricing gives commercial clients a transparent, scalable number.
Pricing varies based on fiber type (wool costs more), soil level, stain treatment needs, and whether protective coatings are applied. Move-out and deep cleans command 30–50% premiums over standard maintenance cleans.
