Carpet Cleaning cost in Australia
Carpet cleaning in Australia is priced per room or by the hour, with steam cleaning (hot water extraction) the industry standard for end of lease bonds. Whole-house pricing scales with bedroom count and carpet condition, and stubborn stains are usually billed as a separate line item.

Common questions
Steam cleaning or dry cleaning: which should I book?
Steam cleaning (hot water extraction) is the industry standard and what most property managers require at end of lease, priced at $25 to $50 per room. Dry cleaning runs $30 to $65 per room and suits carpets that need to dry quickly.
How much does a typical house cost to have steam cleaned?
A 3-bedroom house runs $150 to $350 and a 4-bedroom house $200 to $450 for a full steam clean, depending on room count and carpet condition.
Do stains cost extra to remove?
Yes. Stubborn stains needing pre-treatment are billed per stain, at $20 to $50 each, on top of the standard room rate.
Does end of lease carpet cleaning cost more than a regular clean?
Yes. End of lease carpet cleaning runs $200 to $500 because agents expect every room done to a standard that will pass a bond inspection, not just the rooms that look dirty.
