Quick Takeaways
- 316 lists carpet cleaning at $55 per room or area up to 250 square feet.
- Most booked visits have a $110 minimum, so small jobs are still priced as a service call.
- Pet odor, deep stains, protection, upholstery, tile, rugs, and repair should be priced separately.
The short answer
Carpet cleaning with 316 starts at $55 per room or area up to 250 square feet. A flight of stairs is also listed at $55. Most booked visits have a $110 minimum.
That gives you a real starting point, not a vague national range. A three-area job is usually estimated from the room count first, then adjusted only when there are stairs, heavy soil, pet odor, stains, protection, upholstery, or other add-ons.
What actually changes your price
Room count matters, but it is not the only factor. Size, furniture setup, access, stairs, soil level, red dirt, old residue, pet odor, and deep stains all affect the amount of time and product the job needs.
The site calculator lists Level 1 pet odor treatment at $15 per treated room, deep stains at $25 per stain, stain guard at $12.50 per carpeted room or area, and upholstery at $20 per linear foot.
Local cost examples
A simple two-room maintenance clean often starts around the $110 minimum. Three normal rooms start at $165 before add-ons. Five carpeted areas plus stairs start at $330 before pet treatment, stains, or protection.
A pet-heavy living room is not the same quote as a clean guest bedroom. That is why photos help. Text room counts, stairs, pet odor notes, and a few pictures so the price can be confirmed before the appointment.
Why St. George carpet can cost more to clean right
Red dirt, dry dust, rental turnover, hard water residue, and long traffic lanes can turn a basic room into a heavier job. A quick surface pass may look cheaper, but it often leaves soil or residue behind.
IICRC-certified cleaning is about matching the process to the carpet in front of us. If the carpet only needs a normal refresh, the quote should stay simple. If it needs deep cleaning or odor work, those items should be clear before work starts.
Common same-visit add-ons
Many customers add tile, rugs, upholstery, or repair while the truck is already there. The current site lists tile and grout cleaning at $0.65 per square foot, grout sealing from $1 per square foot, color sealing from $1.50 per square foot, and area rugs from $25 to $45 depending on size.
Bundling only makes sense when the add-on actually needs service. A clear quote should show each item separately so you can choose what matters now and what can wait.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Number of carpeted rooms or areas.
- Whether stairs are included.
- Photos of traffic lanes, stains, and pet areas.
- Any upholstery, rugs, tile, repair, or protection you want priced.
- Your city or neighborhood and preferred timing.
Common Questions
How much does carpet cleaning cost per room?
316 lists carpet cleaning at $55 per room or area up to 250 square feet, with most booked visits having a $110 minimum.
Is professional carpet cleaning worth it vs. DIY?
It usually is when the carpet has red dirt, pet odor, traffic lanes, sticky residue, stairs, or stains. A rental machine can help with light soil but has less heat, rinse, and recovery.
Do you tip carpet cleaners?
Tips are appreciated but not required. A clear review and referrals help a local company just as much.
How long does carpet cleaning take?
A small home may take about one to two hours. Larger homes, stairs, pet treatment, and deep cleaning take longer.
