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.
