Carpet Cleaning Prices

Carpet Cleaning Prices in Rochester, NY

Because all homes are different sizes and contain different types of carpets, there is no “one-size-fits-all” pricing for carpet cleaning. There are a few common ways that most carpet cleaning companies determine the cost of cleaning.

Many carpet cleaning companies charge by the room, meaning that they offer a flat cleaning fee for each individual room or area to be cleaned. Usually this method has a size limit, so a company may treat one room as two if it measures over the maximum square footage imit for a single area. Usually a company will charge a fee for the moving of furniture, so to keep your carpet cleaning prices as low as possible it would be a good idea to move sofas, entertainment centers and other large objects ahead of time.

Some companies charge by square foot. If you own a smaller home, sometimes you may have to pay more because of the travel and fuel costs. Those with larger homes will pay slightly less per square foot because equipment setup and material requirements are fixed. The average rates for carpet cleaning are somewhere between 30 and 50 cents per square foot depending on where you are located.

Angie’s List members report paying $25 to $75 per room for carpet cleaning, with the cost varying depending on their location.

Carpet Cleaning Costs Vary with Method

The method of carpet cleaning offered will also affect the price. The most popular method called hot water extraction, also known as known as steam cleaning, doesn’t actually use steam but instead uses high pressure flush the fibers with very hot water. The water is then extracted using a powerful truck mounted vacuum.This is the method that most carpet manufacturers recommend and is often required in order to keep the warranty valid

Low moisture cleaning, also known as encapulation cleaning, uses a chemical solution and minimal water for quicker drying, but it can’t reach as deep as powerful wet cleaning methods. This method is best used for commercial carpet cleaning.

Extra Costs for Carpet Cleaning

While most carpet cleaning services have an upfront fee that covers all basic costs, there are a few things that could incur additional costs.

In some cases regular cleaning won’t be able to remove a specific stain completely and may require further work. This may require more time and additional spotting chemicals which may increase the carpet cleaning prices.

I had such a great experience with Pinnacle Eco Clean. I had exterior paint spill on my brand new custom area rug. I called Pinnacle in a panic and they came out within 45 minutes, grabbed my area rug, took it back to their shop and cleaned it all within 6 hours. I can't thank them enough for being so understanding and caring during my panic filled phone call. Their service is amazing!
