Typical carpet cleaning prices
Pricing is usually by the room or by square footage. Here’s a realistic guide for the Edmonton area — your exact price comes from a free written estimate:
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Per room | $35–$60 |
| Whole home (3–5 rooms) | $150–$350 |
| Hallway / staircase | $25–$60 |
| Area rug | quoted by size & fibre |
| Upholstery / sofa | $80–$200 |
You always get a written estimate before any work — no hidden fees, no surprise add-ons.
What changes the price
- Number & size of rooms — more area, more time.
- Carpet condition — heavy soiling, pet stains or odour treatment add to it.
- Stairs & hallways — usually priced separately from rooms.
- Add-ons — stain protection, deodorizing, upholstery or area rugs.
- Access — how far the truck-mounted hose needs to run.
Beware the lowball price
A “$20 a room” ad usually isn’t the price you’ll pay. Some companies quote rock-bottom, then add charges on site for pre-treatment, “deep” cleaning, or per stain — or do a fast, low-quality pass that re-soils within weeks. We quote one honest written price up front.
Is professional carpet cleaning worth it?
Yes — for most homes every 12–18 months. It extends carpet life, removes allergens and deep soil a vacuum can’t reach, and a proper truck-mounted clean dries faster and stays cleaner longer than a rental machine. Want it to dry quickly? See how long carpet takes to dry and how to prepare.
