Take your rate per square foot and multiply it by the square footage of the areas of the house that you clean to get your total estimate price. For commercial carpet cleaning prices per square foot, you will use the same formula but likely with a different rate that's based on the difficulty and frequency of the job.

The cost is affected by how long it takes to clean the carpet, the cleaning solutions needed, and what type of equipment is required. The most common cleaning methods are shampooing, dry cleaning, hot water extraction, encapsulation, bonnet, and carbonated cleaning.

If you are looking for a high quality, deep carpet cleaning, hiring professionals is the only way to go. When you schedule professional carpet cleaning services you are cleaning not just the top of the carpet, but also the padding.
