Three Camarillo floor plans, priced
A price starts with what is on the floor. The table prices three common layouts at HomeAdvisor’s national rates, once at $75–$125 per room and once at $0.20–$0.40 per square foot, and adds carpeted stairs at $2–$5 per step, the figure Angi gives. A single-story home, like those in Leisure Village, has no staircase to add; a two-story house does.
| Home | By the room | By the square foot | Stairs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two-bedroom, single-story: 3 rooms, about 500 sq ft | $225–$375 | $100–$200 | None |
| Four-bedroom, two-story: 5 rooms, about 1,100 sq ft, 14 stairs | $375–$625, plus $28–$70 for stairs | $220–$440, plus $28–$70 for stairs | 14 steps at $2–$5 |
| One-bedroom apartment at move-out: 2 rooms, about 400 sq ft | $150–$250 | $80–$160 | None |
National figures, not quotes: the cleaning company sets the price for your home before any work.
Per-room or per-square-foot pricing
Which pricing comes out lower depends on the size of the rooms. A 120-square-foot bedroom costs $24 to $48 by the square foot but $75 to $125 as a room, so square-foot pricing favors small rooms. A 300-square-foot family room is the reverse: $60 to $120 by the square foot, or $75 to $125 as one room.
Per-room prices come with a size limit. By HomeGuide’s account, most professionals treat 200 to 250 square feet as one room, and HomeAdvisor says square-foot pricing may apply instead to extra-large spaces. Ask where the line falls, and ask for both kinds of price if your rooms are mixed.
What Maid VIP estimates
Maid VIP, this site’s affiliated partner and a business with the same owners, has its own estimates. For carpet cleaning, the figure is about $30–$75 per room, subject to a $150 visit minimum, with most homes at about $150–$400. Its upholstery prices begin at $75 per piece, with sofas from $150. Its tile and grout estimate is about $0.50–$3 per square foot, and it prices each area rug by size. All of these are estimates; the final price is settled before the visit, when the rooms, stains and fibers are known.
What gets added to the total
- Stairs: $2–$5 per step on Angi’s figures, on top of the rooms
- Pet urine: stain removal runs $40–$300 by severity (Angi), or pet stain and odor removal is billed at $30–$50 per hour (HomeAdvisor); optional deodorizing adds $0.10–$0.30 per square foot (HomeAdvisor); pet urine treatment explains why it is separate work
- Moving beds, dressers and other heavy furniture
- Carpet protector, applied after the cleaning
- A minimum: Angi notes that on smaller jobs some companies charge either a trip charge or a minimum service fee of $75–$125, so ask when you book
An advertised price has to be honest about the extras that can’t be avoided: California requires it to include all mandatory fees and charges, such as a required trip charge, other than government taxes and fees (Civil Code 1770(a)(29)).
Getting a good deal on carpet cleaning: keeping the bill down
A low advertised price for a whole house can mean a short list of rooms or a quick surface method: bonnet cleaning, at $30–$90 per room on Angi’s figures, buffs the top of the pile rather than rinsing it. Lower totals come from planning instead:
- Book every room, the sofa and any rugs in one visit, so you pay one minimum
- Ask for square-foot pricing if the bedrooms are small
- Treat the pet spots that need it, not the whole house
- Skip protector in rooms that see little traffic
- Pick up the floor yourself, so the time you pay for goes to cleaning
- Compare written totals for the same rooms, the same stairs and the same method
Thinking of renting a machine instead? Doing it yourself or hiring a pro runs the numbers.
How the method changes the price
Angi prices carpet cleaning by method, per room: steam cleaning (hot water extraction) $40–$90 per room, bonnet cleaning $30–$90 per room, dry cleaning $60–$130 per room and encapsulation $80–$200 per room. Carbonated cleaning, Chem-Dry’s process, runs $120–$420, $280 on average on HomeAdvisor’s figures. Hot water extraction is also the method Shaw’s warranties are written around. The methods guide explains each one, and Stanley Steemer and Chem-Dry, side by side compares the two biggest names.
