How were these carpet cleaning prices collected?

We read the price pages of 27 carpet cleaning companies in 21 states on October 15, 2026 and recorded each price as the company publishes it. A range counts at its midpoint and a “from” price at its starting figure. Expired promotions, market-average blogs and pages with conflicting figures are left out.

A “room” means different things: up to 150 sq ft at Aclean Steamers in Raleigh, 200 at KC Clean Carpets near Kansas City and AZ Same Day Service, 250 at All Star in Minneapolis, 300 at Alpine in Spokane Valley and Indy Carpet Cleaning. Larger rooms count as two at most of them.

What does carpet cleaning cost per room?

One standard room runs a median $51 across 10 companies, from $40 at All Star Carpet Cleaning to $65 at Aclean Steamers. Most sell rooms in packages instead: the three-room median is $159, from $99 at AZ Same Day Service in Scottsdale to $230 at Contemporary Carpet Cleaning near Rochester, New York, with Perfection Carpet Cleaners on the New Hampshire seacoast the outlier at $425.

Extra rooms in a package cost less than the first: Carpet Rescue Services near Orlando adds rooms at $25 and Hilbrands in Temecula at $30, and Certified Chem-Dry in Salt Lake City drops from $49 to $39 for each room after the first.

What minimum do carpet cleaners charge?

The median visit minimum is $155 across 10 companies, from $89.95 at Klean Dry in Rio Rancho to $285 at Perfection. KC Clean Carpets sets $135, Alpine $149, EcoClean in Downers Grove $150 and Aclean Steamers $200. Several tie the minimum to an area: EcoClean Dry in Long Beach covers 300 sq ft for $159, Cincinnati Dry 400 sq ft for $175.

Mr. Clean Carpet Care in Tempe and All Star use a two-room minimum instead of a dollar figure, which says the same thing in rooms.

What do stairs, hallways and add-ons cost?

Stairs run a median $60 a flight across 13 companies, or $4 a step where companies price each one; hallways run a median $26. Pet stain and odor treatment runs a median $35 per room or area and carpet protector $35.

Upholstery is the common add-on: a three-seat sofa runs a median $132 across 16 companies, from $85 at USA Carpet Care near Detroit to $175 at CitruSolution in Charleston and Cincinnati Dry.

How should you use these numbers to set your own price?

Set your minimum first, then your three-room price, then the per-room price for rooms beyond it. If your three-room price is under $135, you are cheaper than about three quarters of these companies; check that the drive, setup and drying time are paid for.

Define your room in square feet on the price list. It is the line customers argue about most.
