When you’ve never purchased something, it’s hard to know what it may cost. Further, in today’s ever-evolving economy, it can be even more difficult to determine what something should cost. When it comes to carpet cleaning, you can expect a cost of $65–$85 per room or area. There are a few major factors that come into play, which we’ll break down in today’s article.
Factor No. 1: Type of Home
If you live in a house, it will naturally be much quicker for a carpet cleaner to bring their equipment in and out of your home. However, townhouses and apartment buildings tend to cause more trouble for carpet cleaning vendors. For this reason, cleaning a carpet in a townhome or apartment is typically more expensive than in a house and may increase the price per room or area by as much as 10–15%.
Factor No. 2: Geographic Location and Vendor Proximity
If you live in or near a city (e.g., Arlington, VA, or Washington, D.C.), always anticipate higher prices due to various factors, much like anything else you’ll buy in your area. Additionally, if you’re far from your vendor of choice, be ready to pay for their transportation time. We highly recommend picking a local vendor not only to support your community but also because it’s better for your wallet!
Factor No. 3: Dirtiness and Size of Rooms
Always remember: a harder job is a more expensive one when it comes to any service. Whether your rooms are large or your rugs are very dirty, both will require more time from your cleaner. Try to reduce the risk of your carpets becoming extremely dirty by following tips in our other blog articles and vacuuming regularly. Most importantly, get your carpets cleaned yearly to ensure they stay clean.
While there are some other small factors that go into pricing carpet cleaning, which vary by region and company, these are the main determinants. If you are in the Woodbridge, VA, area and would like to book our services or simply have questions, please feel free to reach out!
