How much should you pay to have your carpets cleaned?
As an industry professional I often hear the phrase “How much is this going to cost me?” When it comes to carpet cleaning the most simple answer is: it depends! The reason why is that there are so many variables that can play a role in developing a competitive quote. Most companies that offer a 3 rooms for $## will often times enter into the home with the intent to up-sell consumers on extra service items such as deodorizers, stain removal and Scotchgard. At the end of the experience the total amount due can sometimes double the actual estimated cost.
Keep these tips in mind when contracting your carpets to be cleaned:
- Carpet cleaning pricing depends on total square feet and the ease of entry.
- Carpet cleaning pricing also depends on the geographical area and whether we’re talking rural or metropolitan.
- Carpet cleaning pricing can also depend on what condition the carpet is in at the time of service.
- Be sure to ask what the total cost is including stain removal, deodorizer and Scotchgard (you can buy this product at any home improvement store for very little $)
- Get your estimate in writing and be prepared to say NO to up-sell tactics.
Generally, residential carpet cleaning ranges from 25-35 cents per sq ft, with variations based on the judgment of the estimator.
Like we said it isn’t a simple answer however when done correctly you will thoroughly enjoy your newly cleaned carpet and not feel like you have been taken to the cleaners. No pun intended.
