Where these cleaning prices apply

What you are paying for
What our cleaning prices include
Included
Moving your furniture
Beds, dressers, sofas and tables. We move them, clean underneath, and put them back. Other companies clean the open floor and leave the dirtiest carpet in the house exactly where it was.
Included
Cleaning below the surface
Surface dirt comes up easily. The soil packed into the base of the fibre is what makes a carpet look tired again six weeks later. We target that layer and rinse out the residue most cleaners leave behind.
Included
Coming back if we have to
Family run since 1978 and IICRC certified. Anyone can quote a low number and walk away afterwards. If a spot comes back, so do we. That is the Carpet Beaters guarantee, and it covers every price on this page.

Two ways to book it
Both are the same crew and the same equipment. The difference is how much of it you want, and the switch at the top of the estimator moves every price on the page.
Standard
Full service
- We move the furniture and clean underneath
- Beds, dressers, sofas and tables go back where they were
- Upholstered pieces cleaned whole, front to back
- Tile and grout is available in this option
- No extra charge for moving anything
Save 15%
Open areas only
- Your furniture stays exactly where it is
- We clean the open floor around it
- On upholstery you pay for only the parts that need it
- A single cushion and two arms, not the whole sofa
- An empty home prices the same way, because there is nothing to move
About the $250 minimum. Every service counts toward it, so a bedroom, a hall and a sofa in one visit add up together. You are never pushed into booking more than you need.
We say it out loud because the truck, the soft water system and two people for a couple of hours cost the same whether we clean one room or six. If your job comes in under $250, book it anyway and the visit is billed at $250. There is also a $30 minimum per service, and $75 on tile and grout.
Watch The Work
The price makes sense once you watch the work.
You have a number now. Here is what it buys. These are real jobs, sped up, start to finish with nothing cut out. Watch how many passes it takes, how long the traffic lanes get, and how much still comes up after the spots you can see are already gone. Nobody films this, which is exactly why we did.
-
Commercial
Commercial, quoted by the job
A sanctuary and fellowship hall in one visit, worked around a Sunday schedule. Commercial carpet takes a beating in narrow paths, so the lanes get worked separately from the open floor. Churches, schools and offices are not on the price list because they are quoted by the job, and this is why.
-
Residential
A whole house in an afternoon
Great room, hallway and bedrooms in a single afternoon. Watch how slowly the wand moves: that pace is the job. Furniture goes back down on blocks so nothing wicks or rusts while the carpet dries, which is what the no-extra-charge furniture line on the price list is actually paying for.
-
Empty homes
What the 15 percent looks like
Nothing to move, so nothing to charge for moving. Wide open rooms look like the easy job and are usually the dirtiest, because traffic spreads instead of concentrating and the soil goes in evenly everywhere. Property managers book turnovers with us because the carpet has to photograph well for the next listing.
-
Condition
When the price moves on site
This is the work most people assume needs new carpet, and it is the one case where the estimate changes when we arrive. Odour lives in the backing and the pad, not the fibres, so surface cleaning only hides it for a few weeks. We treat the source, then rinse with clean water only, leaving no residue behind to pull the smell back.
Every one of these was filmed on a normal job, not a demo. If you want to know what it looks like in your home, we will come out and put the number in writing.

The full price list
The estimator does the arithmetic for you. If you would rather read the cleaning prices yourself, open any section below. These are the same numbers the estimator uses, and they are the numbers we quote on the phone.

Before you book
Questions about our cleaning prices
?Do you charge extra to move furniture?
No. Full service includes moving it, putting it back, and cleaning what was underneath. If you would rather we cleaned around it instead, that is the open areas option and it saves you 15 percent.
?Will the price change when you get here?
Sometimes, and we tell you before we start rather than after we finish. Carpet that has not been cleaned in eight years is a different job than carpet cleaned last spring. The estimate on this page is real, but the condition of the fibre is the one thing a website cannot see.
?How long will it take?
Most jobs are a single visit and we are in and out the same day. Once we know which rooms and pieces you have picked, we will give you an arrival window when we confirm.
?Do you clean wool and oriental rugs?
Yes, and we price wool rugs individually rather than by the square foot, because fibre and dye matter more than size. Some are safe to clean in your home and others go to a rug plant. Add the size and fibre in the message box and we will come back to you with a number.
?What about leather, granite, or commercial work?
We do all three, and they are quoted directly rather than from this list. Send the details through the form or see our FAQ for more.
?Is the estimate binding?
It is a real quote at our real prices, not a teaser. What it is not is a contract. Nothing is booked until you say so, and the price is confirmed in person before any equipment comes off the truck.
Before you replace it
Most of it has more life left than people think
The best job we do is the one that saves something somebody had already given up on. Carpet, and upholstery too. If yours looks past saving, that is worth a phone call before it is worth a quote from a flooring shop or a furniture showroom.
