How Much Does Carpet Cleaning Cost in Perth?

“How much does carpet cleaning cost?” is one of the questions we’re asked most often, and it’s a fair one. Professional carpet cleaning used to be seen as a luxury, so plenty of people grew up thinking it was something they could do without.

Times have changed. Equipment, techniques and pricing have all improved, and professional carpet cleaning is now within reach for most Perth households. Below, we explain what affects the cost of professional carpet cleaning, how it compares with doing it yourself, and how to tell a good quote from one that’s too good to be true.

What Affects the Cost of Carpet Cleaning?

Every home is different, so most carpet cleaners quote based on the job. The main things that affect the price are:

• Size: the number of rooms and how big they are. Many companies price by the room, with a set size counting as a standard room.
• Condition: heavily soiled carpet, high-traffic areas and set-in stains take more time and treatment.
• Stains and odours: things like pet urine or red wine may need extra spot treatment.
• Extras: stairs, hallways and rugs are often quoted separately.
• Access: apartments and upper floors may need different equipment from a house with driveway access.
• What’s included: some quotes cover everything, while others add charges for products, pre-treatment or extra time.

Professional Cleaning vs Doing It Yourself

When weighing up the cost of professional carpet cleaning, it’s worth comparing it with doing it yourself. A professional clean isn’t just a vacuum over the top to remove surface dirt and dust. It goes deep into the carpet fibres, lifting grime and stains as it goes. To do that yourself, you’d need to hire a carpet steam cleaning machine (buying one would be far too expensive), buy the products and set aside the time to run it. Add it all up and a DIY clean can end up costing more than a professional one.

Hire machines are also much smaller than professional equipment. Most of our jobs use a truck-mounted hot water extraction system, which delivers the heat and suction needed to pull dirt and moisture out of the carpet. For apartments and places a van can’t reach, we use portable machines. We explain more in how carpet steam cleaning works.

What You Get with Professional Carpet Cleaning

Price is only half the picture. Using a professional carpet cleaning company instead of doing it yourself has a number of benefits, including:

• Treating stubborn stains
• Improved carpet appearance and health
• Reduction of dust, bacteria and allergens in carpet fibres
• A softer feeling carpet
• Improved appearance of your home or office
• Longer-lasting carpets

Is a Cheap Carpet Cleaning Quote a Red Flag?

When you consider the benefits, especially longer-lasting carpets, professional carpet cleaning is good value. You’ll come across a range of prices, some higher and some lower, so always do your research. If a price seems too low, it’s worth finding out why, as it can be a red flag.

Before you book, it’s worth checking:

• Reviews: what recent customers say about the results and the service.
• What’s included: whether the quote covers products, pre-treatment and all the rooms you need cleaned.
• The method: what cleaning method and equipment they use.
• Experience: how long they’ve been operating in Perth.
