Carpet cleaning is sometimes advertised at a per-room price, but rooms vary significantly in size and condition. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) advises consumers to understand exactly how a cleaner structures pricing and notes that area-based pricing can provide a clearer comparison than simply counting rooms.
A small bedroom and a large open family room are both called a room, yet one may hold several times more carpet. Size drives time, so it drives cost.
Every company defines a room differently. Ask for the definition in writing, including any size limit, so you can compare quotes fairly.
Stairs are cleaned mostly by hand and hallways connect several spaces, so they are often listed separately. Make sure both are included in any estimate you compare.
Traffic lanes and stains need pretreatment and extra passes. A room with heavy wear takes longer than a lightly used guest room of the same size.
Share the rooms, approximate sizes, stairs and any problem spots. We will give you a clear estimate before work begins.
It depends on the company. Ask how hallways are counted before you book.
Small closets are often cleaned with the room if they are cleared. Confirm when you book.
Usually yes, because stairs require detailed hand work.
Moving heavy furniture adds time. Ask what furniture moving is included.
