When we look for carpet cleaning specials, we do so because we want the cheapest prices but still get the best services. The best way to get a discount is to look for coupons on local companies. These coupons should include carpet, upholstery, tile, grout, and the rug. You will need to decide whether you want a Chem Dry or Steam clean though. We prefer Chem Dry but it is your choice. You can get your carpets clean and save a lot of money if you find the right deals.
The truth is there are a lot of things that will affect the price of carpet cleaning including the type of carpet cleaning, where you live, and what type of carpet you have. Usually private companies are cheaper than commercial companies but that is not always the case. Whether it is a private company or a commercial company, they will both offer certain discounts.
If you are paying over 30 cents per square foot you are paying too much, you should expect to pay anywhere between 25-30 cents per square foot. So if you are going to pay for 1,000 square feet of carpet to get cleaned you should not be paying over 300 dollars. This includes everything including the special products needed to clean the spots.
I know many of you will be seeing some crazy prices that seem too good to be true, chances are they are too good to be true. If a company is going to clean 1,000 square feet chances are good they will lose at least 100 dollars. You can’t expect to pay ten dollars per room and get a decent job. If they are offering something like that then they have a lot of hidden prices they have yet to tell you about such as specially treatment that needs to go on the carpet, they might even charge you for moving around furniture.
Also keep in mind that when looking to clean your stairs, it is going to be a bit more expensive. Typically you can expect to pay anywhere between 2-3 dollars per stair.
One of the things that companies who are offering huge discounts might be doing are trying to sell you a contract. This means they will try to sell you three or four more cleanings throughout the year. But to be totally honest you don’t need to clean your carpets that often. In fact twice per year is more than enough.
So what should you expect to pay for getting your carpets cleaned?
One thing you have to make sure is that when you schedule an appointment ask them what the final price will be, not their “standard” price. Are they including the price of the treatment and all that other stuff? A lot of companies will try to charge you for things you didn’t even know you needed, and most of the time you didn’t need them. If you are going to compare carpet cleaning rates from one company to another, you need to make sure you include these prices as well.
There are actually plenty of carpet cleaning specials out there, but in order to get the best you need to find out what the final price is going to be.
