What Is the Average Cost of a Carpet Cleaner? | SpeedyDry

The average cost of a professional carpet cleaner in Canada ranges from $50–$70 per room or $0.25–$0.50 per square foot, with a minimum service charge of $100–$150. But "average" obscures the pricing models that actually determine what you pay. Carpet cleaners price by the room, by the square foot, by the hour, or by a flat job rate. Understanding the model matters more than knowing the average.

Per Room: Simple to quote, but room sizes vary enormously. A 10x10 bedroom and a 20x20 living room are not the same job. Per Square Foot: More precise, but only if measurements are accurate. Minimum Service Charge: Covers travel, setup, and equipment regardless of job size. Stairs: Usually priced per step or per flight. Heavy Soiling: Adds time and chemistry. Specialty Fibres: Wool and natural fibres require different chemistry and cost more. Upholstery: Priced separately by piece.
